Is there a list of released game strategy guides?

I've done a bit of searching and haven't been able to really find anything so before I go crazy searching the depths of google. (Or discovering i am an idiot and missed something) Does anyone know if there is a site or something of the sort that has a list of game guides released?

Not as far as I know...I know it was discussed here a while back if we could compile one, but I believe the consensus was that the project was just too big...like compiling a PC game price guide.

That's what I was afraid of, I figured something like this would be next to impossible. Oh well thanks for replying. If only the almighty interwebs existed in the before times.

Seems like it wouldn't be TOO difficult if you just broke it down into chunks, and started with particular consoles.

For instance, I'll start by contributing a list of Virtual Boy Strategy Guides.

Here you go:



Okay, done.

Haha, nice nice well that's not a bad idea, maybe tomorrow I'll start compiling a list for N64.

I believe it was noted that a Half-Life strategy guide for, I think DC, is rare. It was released but the game wasn't? I revived an old thread about strats a couple of days ago and this was mentioned.

Off topic, but I'm wanting to collect all the RPG strategy guides (not hint books) that were released for NES/SNES/GENESIS. I believe I have most of them.

Sorry I missed this thread. I don't normally scan the Classic Gaming Forum.

If you are looking for a list of guides, I set up a wiki for just that reason (http://wiki.dontpressstart.com/index.php?title=Main_Page). It's arranged by publisher (Brady (http://wiki.dontpressstart.com/index.php?title=BradyGAMES), Nintendo Power (http://wiki.dontpressstart.com/index.php?title=Nintendo_Player%27s_Guide), Prima (http://wiki.dontpressstart.com/index.php?title=Prima_Games), DoubleJump (http://wiki.dontpressstart.com/index.php?title=Versus_Books), etc.) not by system. I'm pretty confident I have 99.9% of everything already done, and it was a lot of work. But that was spread over five years and I really like guides so it was kind of fun for me. There's probably a few dozen missing, but if they're out there, I'll come across them eventually.

On that note, I just recently made a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPA0MMXfq5A) and wanted to share it with you guys but had no idea where to put it (so I searched and found this three month-old thread).

Wow. Had no idea there were people here who collected guides. That's awesome man, good work. Definitely a good resource.
