Dragon Warrior
In June 1989, "Electronic Gaming Monthly"s "Quartermann" speculated that "Dragon Warrior" would be Nintendo's "big release" in North America that Christmas based on the immense popularity of the series in Japan, especially "Dragon Quest III". "Nintendo Power" provided three feature articles on "Dragon Warrior" for issues between May and October 1989 and the November–December 1989 issue includes a strategy guide. The March–April 1990 issue of "Nintendo Power" has a map of the game world, with a poster of "Super Contra" on the other side, and a "Dragon Warrior" text adventure.
