"Four of us got together and made a magazine called Nintendo News for a school project. We thought NES fans would enjoy the following recipe that we included.
Mike Tyson's Punch - 2 Cups strawberry Kool-Aid, 2 Cups raspberry Kool-Aid, 2 cups ginger ale, 1 Box frozen strawberries - Makes 12 4-oz. servings - Mix both flavors of Kool-Aid and the ginger ale. Add the strawberries. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. - Vince Anderson, Jeff Bear, Adam Davidson, and Jim Deutsch, Freeport, IL
Delicious, guys! Remember to have an adult supervise in the kitchen if you've never tried your hand at putting a recipe together before. Cheers!"
Wow. The fact that Nintendo mentions adult supervision is so 80s.

"I made a rap for you. I hope you and all the NES fans will like it!
It's the Legend of Zelda and it's really bad, the creatures in the game are really rad, Darknuts move very fast, but if you are quick they will not last. Polls Voice jump super high, but if you watch your speed you will not die. Wizrobes move fast I agree, but if you get touched you lose a heart of energy. I'd like to thank Nintendo for all the fun, but I'm sorry to say my rap is done! - Andrew Martin, Greensboro, NC
Totally def rap, Andrew."

"The graphics in Super Mario Bros. 2 are some of the best ever by Nintendo. Sometimes the enemies in the game even help you get through tough spots like World 4-6. But the ending is the best thing about this game! Will you ever release Super Mario Bros. 3? - Aleric Irizarry, Brooklyn, NY
We're glad you enjoyed Super Mario Bros. 2. We are, in fact, producing Super Mario Bros. 3 for Nintendo's Play-Choice 10 system late this summer. At this time, there are no immediate plans to release it for use with the NES. But keep your eye on Nintendo Power for updates..."

"Metal Gear is the best! It has realistic graphics and is very challenging. Every time I play it, I look forward to new levels, weapons, and equipment, such as a bomb blast suit and a remote control missile. To fake an enemy out, a good tip would be to use an enemy uniform! But the most interesting thing in the game to me is a cardboard box that you can hide in. While hiding, watch for an enemy to pass by. Then POW! he's gone. If you like action, I suggest you get Metal Gear. - Andrew Finnigan, Tacoma, WA
P.S. I have a riddle: What do an expert golfer and Double Dragon have in common? They both have Lopars (Low Pars)!
Thanks for your comments about Metal Gear and the joke, Andrew!"

"Some of my friends subscribed to Nintendo Power before the September/October issues came out, and they got a calendar. Since I subscribed last December, I didn't get a calendar, and I was wondering if I could buy one now. - Wesley Bryden, Redmond, WA
Sorry, Wesley. The Nintendo Insider's Calendars were offered only to those who were early subscribers to Nintendo Power. But watch for your subscription renewal notice - there may be other special
