I'm really dating myself when I say that I owned both issue one of Nintendo Power and Sega Visions. I didn't own them second hand, I got them in the mail new. If you're like me, a withering old man, and want to strain your vision through the clouds of forming cataracts as you reminisce of a simpler time in gaming, check out racketboy's Retro Gaming for old-school game magazine scans. For the low risk investment of a quick PDF download, you can check out previews of then-upcoming games like Decap Attack or Phantasy Star III in the first issue of Sega Visions, or remember your pre-disappointment fantasies of both Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest courtesy of Nintendo Power.

Younger whippersnappers, whom I'd appreciate getting off my goddamn lawn, can also check out the more recent fanboy mag, PSM with previews of Final Fantasy VII and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Mmmm. That's some ripe nostalgia! Michael McWhertor
