Looking For Specific Nintendo Power Magazine.

Recommended Posts

Hi retromags.com. First time poster, long time visitor. I love your site a lot!

Anyway, I have a very specific request, if at all possible. A LONG time ago, when I was pretty young, I submitted a comment to Nintendo Power's "screen capture" thing. (You know, where they show a picture of something, then you send comments in, and they post the good ones.)

For the life of me, I can't remember which issue it was in, but one of my comments made it to the magazine. I remember the picture and the comment. The picture was of a Mario and Sonic in costume, surrounded by office workers or something. My comment was "And once again, Luigi and Tails weren't invited to the party."

If anyone happens to have this issue, or wouldn't mind looking through their back stock, all I want is a screen of that page. It would be so greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

I own almost all the NP issues but it would take a long time to go through all of them. Do you know about what year that might have been?

I'm not 100% positive, but I know they only ran the "Your Screen Test Captions" thing for a few years. I know it's after issue 120, but that's all I've been able to deduce. If I had to make a guess, I'd say it's around year 2002ish. The "Screen Test" pictures were usually on the left side, around page 30-40 for most issues.

Thanks a lot for your effort. =)

I have issues 120 through 126 (they are from 1999). I just quickly looked through them and didn't see a "Your Screen Test Captions" section. I would think this would be in the beginning of the magazine in or near the "Player's Pulse" section as everything from page 20 on was just walk-throughs and reviews. Later issues may have had a different layout though.

I'm guessing it started in 2000ish, or something. I found my volume 163, and it had it. That's a Dec 02 magazine. It might be around that time.

Here you go Dave issue 157.

Wow! Thank you so much.

Unfortunately, it says "I don't have permission to download this file."

Do I need to register with a payment or donation or something?

Edit: Nope, that wasn't it... Just donated and became a "premium member" and I still can't download it. XD

Any idea what I should do?

Edit 2: Well, regardless of whether or not I get the picture, I'm so pumped you found out what issue it was. I just ordered 2 issue 157's off of eBay. (Hopefully that is, in fact, the issue!)
