Anybody know what Nintendo Power issue this is in?

Hello all. In my quest to find an old issue of Nintendo Power I came across this wonderful site. I was wondering if anybody has any guess to what issue of Nintendo Power an article about How the NES works appeared in. From what I can recall it was a 2 page spread that showed the insides of a NES console and pointed out the cpu etc. with little bits of info about how the controllers check for a button press etc. I remember studying this for hours with amazement, and it was this article that spawned my passion for computers and hardware. Any help in coming up with an issue number will be greatly appreciated!!!

Odd... I don't remember Nintendo Power ever doing anything like that. Do you remember approximately what year that would have been published?

Could it have been on the back of an old NP poster? I've seen this somewhere too, but haven't the foggiest where at.

Let's see I think I was 13 or younger so I would say it was published '90 or earlier. For awhile I was thinking it may have been on the back of a poster too. LOL I wish I could remember, I can't believe it was almost 20 years ago.

Well I'll see if I can find it but when I was younger I used to pull all my posters out so I no longer have many of them. If it was on a poster I may not find it. But after I get back from church later tonight I'll check it out.

Look in issue 22

Issue 20 shows us why there ROM chips never forget!

LOL I wish I had came back to the forum before looking through my NP. Oh well didn't take that long anyway

Now that I've seen it I remember exactly what it was too. It strange that I didn't remember that until now.

That is it!! Thank you so much. And thank you Thor for taking the time to look for it. I've been looking for this info for a long time and you guys really came through for me. This is a great forum, I'm going to look around some more, I used to read a lot of EGM too
