  • Due to the decreasing prominence of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, this is the first issue to not include coverage for an NES game.
  • In the Donkey Kong strategy review, the blurb describing Donkey Kong 3 mistakenly states that Mario was the protagonist again, when the game actually starred Stanley the Bugman.
