  1. NOA can't take many more shakeups! by Rob+T+Firefly · · Score: 1 · on Major Shakeup in Nintendo of America Brass?

    First Howard leaves Nester, and now this...

  2. I liked the Howard & Nester comics by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on A Review of Nintendo Power #1

    These and some of the other comics that appeared in the magazine were always fun to read. http://hn.iodized.net/main.htm

  3. PvP Wasn't the First Comic by TarrVetus · · Score: 3, Informative · on Will Strip For Games
    The 'real' origin of game-based comics came in May 1998, when Scott Kurtz started Player vs. Player, a strip based around the office hijinks at a video game magazine.


    Wrong. Dead wrong. My proof? Howard and Nester (http://hn.iodized.net/main.htm), a comic which successfully ran in Nintendo Power for several years in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

    And while Howard and Nester predates PvP by 10 years, I'm almost positive it wasn't the first of its kind, either.
  4. Nintendo had something similar by The+Hobo · · Score: 5, Informative · on MS Seeks Entrance Fee to XBox Accessory Market

    My favorite was always the Maniac Mansion one...

  6. check out the picture... by Knara · · Score: 1 · on The Making of Super Mario Bros. 3
    ... the middle one in the lower righthand corner at http://nintendope.iodized.net/smb3/smb3article3.ph p

    Putting aside my guess that the picture is posed and they didn't actually use those boxes to code, that's some beautifully vintage-looking pc hardware they captured.

  7. 404 by cyberkreiger · · Score: 4, Funny · on The Making of Super Mario Bros. 3

    Their 404 page is more interesting. :)

  8. impossible! by MasterDirk · · Score: 5, Funny · on The Making of Super Mario Bros. 3

    Is it just me, or has the guy in the middle picture down on the third page got some impossibly long arms? Are Japanese programmers extremely well-armed?

  9. Best tip ever from this comic by freqres · · Score: 4, Funny · on Howard And Nester Comic Archive

    The best tip for life in general comes from this comic. Check out the Sept/Oct 1988 Strip. Here's the tip for you lazies:

    Carry the magic potion to the place with the most grass before you use it.

    Brilliant, just brilliant.

  11. Surprised they didn't mention the most helpful mod by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Finally, A Working NES!

    This one's worth its weight in gold:

    http://nintendope.iodized.net/thisoldnes/lock.txt

    It permanently stops the "flashing NES" syndrome, and permits you to play lots of unlicensed and international games. It worked brilliantly for me!
