King's Quest V Nintendo Power Review

The King's Quest V Nintendo Power Review is an article that appeared in Nintendo Power in the August 1993 issue.review.issue It actually is more of a hint walkthrough for the game than a review.

Background
The article is noteable for the nice full color overworld map of Serenia and surrounding lands inspired by the maps from the King's Quest Companion (in particular the 3rd Edition map of Serenia). Though the article is written by a third party (from Nintendo Power staff rather than Sierra or Konami) it is copyrighted to both Sierra and Konami (1991), and is thus at least semi-authorized to Sierra.

The overworld map artwork from this article probably a commissioned work from artists hired by Nintendo Power (it is unknown to appear in any other source), and is official Nintendo artwork. As it is professional work in a copyrighted article this wiki treats it as equal in status to the material from The King's Quest Companions (which were officially licensed, but not specifically authorized until the 3rd Edition).
