Game Player's Nintendo Buyer's Guide Vol. 1 No. 1

 

  Quote

 

Vol. 1 of Game Player's alternated issues between those focusing on Nintendo games and those focused on PC games.  With Vol. 2, the Nintendo and PC guides would continue on as separate publications, but each would consider all 4 issues of Vol. 1 as part of their run.

So for both magazines, Volume 1 consists of:

Game Player's Nintendo Buyer's Guide Vol. 1 No. 1   (this issue was also sold under the title The Game Player's Guide to Nintendo)

The Game Player's Guide to MS-DOS Computer Games Vol. 1 No. 2

Game Player's Nintendo Strategy Guide Vol.1 No.3 (this issue was also sold under the title Game Player's Strategy Guide to Nintendo Games)

Game Player's MS-DOS Strategy Guide Vol. 1 No. 4
