This was the first one that I bought...well, my dad bought it for me, ha. It was sometime in 1990. There's a part at the end that describes hooking up your NES to a VCR. Our computer at the time had a CGA card, and CGA had composite out. I thought it was composite IN and thought I could hook up the NES to our PC. My dad didn't even let me try to do it, ha.

Oh, and the front cover artwork for this and the next book -- if you look up The Rippingtons you will see this publisher used same artist who The Rippingtons used for their CD artwork. I wish I could track down the link, but I read an interview that where he said that he wasn't sure if the publisher really loved The Rippingtons or just found him randomly in a artist directory...

This tweet said it was "jacked" as if the art was stolen, however as far as I know the artist *was* commissioned and paid for his work. The Game Boy book does have the same artwork as Tourist In Paradise.

Here's the "interview", really just a comment by the artist:

Oh, and finally, at the end where it discusses hooking up your NES to a VCR or computer, it talks about male and female plugs and says "If you need further explanation [of why these are called male and female plugs], you'll need to ask your father" haha

Holy cow, I had no idea the cover artist on these books was the same guy who did artwork for The Rippingtons! Yeah, the Game Boy edition of these books totally uses the same artwork from that CD!

Thanks so much for this incredible thread! This is phenomenal stuff!
