What are your favorite game strategy guides? (lemmy.world)

As a child I'd occasionally get videogame strategy guides at garage sales which largely fostered my long-term love of reading.

I'm sure others have similar stories so what were some of your favorite Brady/Prima/other strategy guides?

To start off for me:

  • Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
  • Jak 3
  • Knights of the Old Republic
  • Banjo-Kazooie

Jak 3 is probably my personal favorite as I remember liking the artwork/concept art a lot as well as blurbs written in-character.

The 7th Guest has a great one that's like told in-character, included in the files of the digital copies of the game now as a pdf, the pdf is 368 pages long! it's scans not text but here's some screenshots of excerpts

Ohh, that one was a masterpiece. It even included the original script, so you could read some of the stuff that got cut/rewritten.

Yep lots of nice extras in the digital releases, and the Making of The 7th Guest video is great too, also available on YouTube https://youtu.be/Fd63F3d2FCI
