    In most of the boxes, when you buy the cartridges, is a card that
    tells you about Nintendo Power Magazine (which is pretty good).
    You can use this card to order the magazine.
    
    Most toy stores (KAY-BEE and TOY'R'US mostly) now carry similiar
    game magazines. I just got one called the PLAYERS GUIDE and it is
    very similiar to N.P. I also so another magazine in CHILD WORLD.
    
    Good luck,
    Scott

    If you cannot find ordering information in the material you already
    have, let me know.  There's a card in every issue.

     I recieved the inaugural issue (Jul/Aug '88) of Nintendo Power
    but did not subscribe to it. Now realizing my mistake I am going
    to. Can anybody tell me how many issues are out ? Are these 
    available at news stands anywhere ?
    
     Have they included any more maps for Super Mario Bros II ? This
    is my primary interest right now.

    Re .3:
    
    According to note topic 197, there is a 9 page review of Super Mario
    Brothers II in the September/October 1988 issue.  Although I have not
    indicated a map specifically, multi-page reviews often contain a good
    deal of information.  (But sometimes they do not.)  There are also
    hints in the January/February 1989 issue. 
    
    There are currently four issues out.  They are not available at
    news stands.  Use the order form in the magazine.

    Re .4:
    
      Thanks for the info. Do the later issues over a way to order
     back issues? Being so early since it's inception, there should
     only be 3 I would need, seeing I have the first.

    Re .5:
    
    I don't recall seeing offers for back issues.  You'll need to ask
    Nintendo.  You may be able to get the Nintendo Power magazines, but the
    Fun Club News goes back further, and I know they don't have the first
    issue of that available.  The magazine evolved from one-color, six
    pages to full color and 32 pages or so for the last issue.  As you can
    imagine, there was not as much information in the early issues as in
    the later issues, but there was some.
    
    Don't worry about back issues if you cannot get them; all the
    information is available here and directly from the Nintendo game
    counselors.

     Re .6:
    
       The maps ( or world,zone,room,area layouts ) are the reason
      I would like to get the back issues. I am currently at war
      with the little bosses in SMBII and only have the first issue
      of NP. As you know, this only shows the layouts of world 1:1-
      1:3 and 2:1-2:3 . Although they did not get into the level of
      detail unvailed in this conference, they do show the entire
      area.
    
        After reading through your index (note 197 ?), I noticed
      other multi page reviews for SMB II in the Sep/Oct NP. Does
      this show any area layout ? 
    
    Thanks,
        George

    Re .7:
    
    Yes, there are maps of some sections in the September/October 1988
    Nintendo Power, different ones from the previous issue.

     Re .8
    
       Thanks. I've just ordered NP. Is there a map of world 3 ? If
    there is would it be possible to get a copy of it through I.O.
    mail ? 
    
      Thanks,
          George  (MR03-2/R13)

    
      I would like to thank the anonymous noter who sent me the copy of
    world 3 for Super Mario Bros II. Although I am now struggling with
    world 4, this will give me a chance to acquire things I didn't find
    while I was wearing the blind fold.
    
      Thanks Again,
    
                George
