Heh, games, you think little bits of plastic that you shouldn't feed to crocodiles. No, there's more to it than that.
Right now my whole gaming print collection is, well, not much. An EA investment package hyping their oh-so-strong finances. Some strategy guides for SNES games.
If anybody knows where I could get/is willing to sell some of the following, I'll pay good money (though keep in mind that many of these are selling for $20 on eBay, no joke)
The only region I'm collecting for is Japan.
Famicom Zelda no Densetsu strategy guide (1986)
Super Metroid guide (actual canon Nintendo art--stylistically far ahead of that retarded US one)
Akumajo Dracula (Famicom AND the Super NES release)
Akumajo Dracula: Chi no Rondo (probably a more expensive one!)
Phantasy Star 1, Mega Drive PS1 rerelease guide (if there was a special one) and Phantasy Star 4-- not 100% these all exist
not sure if the following exist, but let's be hopeful:
Contra/Metal Gear guides
Makaimura (Ghosts'n Goblins) series guides, Shinobi
Flyers:
SNK et al.: Anything Last Blade/Samurai Spirits/King of Fighters/Art of Fighting
Makai
Capcom stuff...fighters, again
Konami classic stuff: Contra etc.
Nintendo Famicom Disk System ads, apparently were in flyer form (MAME's "flyer" for PlayChoice-10 Metroid is apparently a flyer-style ad for the FDS release)
Books (last AND least interesting to myself)
Capcom "All about Capcom (whatever)" type books, give us a shout if you see these.
SNK art books...not too common, are they?
Also there are other things to know about.
Konami apparently released a VHS about their arcade game Haunted Castle (Akumajo Dracula that is), seems to be a sort of video guide. Has anybody seen similar things for different series?
Thanks to anybody who can increase my knowledge in these areas, or better yet hook me up with somebody dying to sell some of these things. Thanks!
