Cover of the September/October 1989 issue of Nintendo Power

Features

• Duck Tales - A platform game based on the Disney cartoon of the same name.


• Dragon Warrior - Classic RPG for the NES. An excellent game overall though it could get a bit repetitive.


• Hoops - For the time, this was a pretty good basketball game but better ones would be along shortly.


• Fester's Quest - I had this game and it was one of the hardest and most frustrating game I have ever played.


• Roger Rabbit - An adventure game based on the movie of the same name.
