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.

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