Stuck on the Desert World in Super Mario 2 because of that fucking Birdo? Need some help in the Legend of Zelda‘s Second Quest? Tired of Mike Tyson planting your ass on the mat in Punch Out!!? Trust me, us too. Don’t be discouraged though, that’s why we’ve got Nintendo Power on our side.

Whether you need help beating some old favorites or just want to catch up on the latest developments in 25 year old gaming news, the magazine’s first issue has gotten the PDF treatment in all its 8-bit glory courtesy of Eion Stanley. With features of some of the biggest games of its day, over 50 pro-tips and a free poster, Issue #1 is both a title wave of nostalgia and a perspective on just how far virtual reality has come in eight (console) generations. All the old art that detailed what the NES couldn’t is great too. And did we mention a free poster?
