Happy anniversary! Would you like to come on 8-Bit Back Issues to talk about it too? Maybe we could go back and talk about your first issue?

Really would love to do an episode on this mag - I know very little about it other than it was a promotional mag produced by Nintendo for use in the movie 'The Wizard'. Copies of it were distributed to moviegoers when the film was in the cinemas.

If you've gone back to listen to the earlier episodes of 8-Bit Back Issues (which are all still available by the way), you may have noticed the artwork has had a bit of a refresh. All 20 episodes are still there, but they look a little more consistent now. Hope you like the refresh.
