I've found scans of old game guides on archive.org, and you can still check out https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ for walkthroughs, many of which are just .txt files that you can save and/or print.

GameFAQs tends to be a good place to get printable guides for older games. Most of the older ones are simple text files.
Just thirding GameFAQs, they'll find pretty much everything you need there.

Which doom? Also have no clue what the other dark sounds ar called as I have never played them .
Have fun printing for hours
Most of the guides I will try to add to my kindle or save on my laptop. Looking for Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Animal Crossing, Elden Ring, Demons Souls. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it and may make a personal list of all the games and links.
I don't know of any single site where different game guides are aggregated, at least not the same way they were in the 90s/00s. Most games tend to use their own Wiki/Fandom sites for that sort of thing now.
Gamefaqs might be worth checking out, as well.
You'll probably end up needing to print several different pages and aggregate them together to get a single, offline guide for a game, but certainly possible with prep time.
I used to copy from Gamefaqs, format in Word: landscape, small margins, 2 pages per sheet, large text, printed back/front
