Blaster Master ...
Solid NES Gold. Those who remember
the game do so
with fondness. Though
critically lauded on release, and later
spawning several sequels, the game was never as big a hit as its its spiritual predecessors, Metroid and Legend of Zelda. Like
Super Mario Bros. 2/Doki Doki Panic, Blaster Master was based on an obscure Japanese game, in this case
Chōwakuseisenki Metafight although the differences in this case are limited to the story. Blaster Master was also the first (and only "canon") book in the Nintendo
Worlds of Power series, in which various authors
novelized third-party games using the pseudonym "F.X. Nine."
Download the Blaster Master book here (MSWord zipped, "enhanced" by a fan). Lastly, some bonus links:
one,
two, and
three (!)
