Last Ninja 2 question

[vnisanian2001]

On the box of the ill-fated NES version, it says that it won "Game of the Year". However, that was actually the original (and far superior) Commodore 64 version that won that award.

Does anyone know which issue of Commodore User Magazine was this in? All I know is that it received a 9/10 in their August 1988 issue.

It was a readers' poll, March 1989 issue: archive.org/details/commodore-user-magazine-66/page/n13/mode/2up
