I know that Chrono Trigger does for sure, and I think that Breath of Fire has one--although I'm not as certain on it.

[autobotracing]

FF2 had one

[pookninja]

yes,breath of fire for the snes does have a guide for it.i have a copy of it.its made by prima,its all black and white pages except the middle has a color art of the charcters,a world map,and a monster chart.guide was printed in 1994.[/url]

[Lone_Monster]

Alright. Thanks a lot guys. And Autobotracong, that avatar is priceless.

[Crush Crawfish]

Breath of fire- Not sure, but I know Breath of fire 2 did.
Chrono trigger- yes
Final Fantasy 2- Probably
Illusion of gaia- had a strategy guide that was in the instruction manual.
Mega Man X- YES, it does! I saw it on ebay once, why didn't I buy it!?!?! :frustrated:

[Lone_Monster]

Um... thanks. I already knew Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy 2 had Strategy guides; Look up :P Anyway, I wouldn't call the Illusion Of Gaia manuel a Stategy Guide. And lastly, was the Mega Man X guide English? I've only seen Japanese ones...

[DDCecil]

All these do (That I've seen in person):

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder - Available at Capcom's website

Brainlord

Breath Of Fire

Chrono Trigger

Illusion Of Gaia - Only if the Manual counts ;)

Lufia and The Fortess Of Doom

Lufia II- Rise Of The Sinistrals - Made by KONIP. Last one ended at $150 on ebay, though the one I sold on there ended at $6.50 :o

Wizardry V: Heart Of The Maelstrom - Also at Capcom's website

---

About Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - I'm sure one exists, I thought there was an offer on the back of the box/manual for one?

I don't believe FFII had an official strategy guide (for SNES, I don't count the Brady FF4/CT guide), if so I'd like to see some proof...

Breath of Fire - yes, by Prima
Breath of Fire 2 - yes, by Prima
Secret of Mana - yes, by Prima
Chrono Trigger - yes, by Nintendo (and Bradygames for the PS1 "Final Fantasy Chronicles)
Final Fantasy 2 - definitely not! However, buy the Bradygames guide for "Final Fantasy Chronicles" which covers besides Chrono Trigger also Final Fantasy 4 (Japanese numbering) and there you have your maps for the SNES FF 2)

Soulblazer - definitely not

Mega man X - I don't know of any guides ever released for this game, this goes for all Mega man X games for the SNES. If there is one, I'd like to have it! :) I'm 99% sure there isn't (or maybe a crappy selective screenshot walkthrough, but certainly none with complete maps)

Brandish or Brain Lord - I think I saw guides for them, but I'm not sure at all!

For the vast majority of the games listed there were never guides released in the US. (in other countries maybe, e.g. Nintendo released for Secret of Mana an Official Guide in Germany) Remember, not a lot of NES or SNES games saw a guide, the guide business really took off in the mid 90's.

The best source for guides until 1995 are the Nintendo Power guides and Nintendo Power itself which covered maps for games very often from 50% to 100%. All Mega man X games are to 50% covered (maps) in Nintendo Power, and for lots of the games you listed as well.

I have a Prima Guide for Link to the Past.

I've heard tell there's a second Secret of Mana guide as well, but I've only ever seen the Prima one.

[Lone_Monster]

There was indeed a Mega Man X guide by Prima?? Interesting, I suppose it doesn't contain complete maps, just screenshots with startegies to get through the game? Still, would be nice to have it!

[Lone_Monster]

Hmm... can't really tell if it's Prima or not, but I googled and somehow found a 2001 page of the Mega Man Merchandise on Capcom's web site, and saw they had one for 15 bucks.

[Rogmeister]

I also have a copy of the Mega Man X guide, officially titled "Mega Man X Official Game Secrets". You're right that it has screenshots but no maps.

[Lone_Monster]

Also want to make things clear. Were there pogs that came with Mega Man X?

[gamergary]

There is a Link to the Past guide from nintendo power.

[Ed Oscuro]

7th Saga, The (Didn't even know about this title!)
Brainlord - yes (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=187&item=8104826006&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)
Dungeon Master - the sequel does, the import does...
E.V.O.: Search For Eden - it should, heh!
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - both already covered
Harvest Moon - why even ask? Of course
Illusion Of Gaia
Inindo: Way of the Ninja - it's a KOEI title, so there's a good possibility there is.

I just had a revelation: I was able to find out about many of these titles via eBay. So I hope I've helped you out a bit, but you could've looked most up on eBay.

[Lone_Monster]

I would have never guessed Harvest Moon had a guide. I have to get one.. And one for EVO too, even though I don't have the game... Yet.

[VACRMH]

Also want to make things clear. Were there pogs that came with Mega Man X?

Nope, but I got a 8 pog set from Nintendo power once.

[v1rich]

These guides should be in the rarity Book. Bad. I never knew that Harvest Moon had a guide. I have never seen it.
