    Default Can anyone recommend a good classic games guide?

    Since the DP guide is not available, can anyone recommend a good classic
    (8 bit) games guidebook?

    Thanks

    I was just joking, sadly i don't know of another guide covering the material of the classic guide. Everything i've heard suggests that they're actively working on a new rendition of the classic guide. If you need something in hand today you can find them preowned on ebay and amazon but be prepared to shell out some cash old digital press guides can be a bit pricey.

    Thanks for the advice. I've seen a couple of guides on Amazon and was wondering if they were any good or if anyone was familiar with them.

    Classic 80's Home Video Games is the book A friend and me put together. It features Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Colecovision, Intellivision, Vectrex and Odyssey 2. We list out Variations for each title and break down prices for loose cart, manuals and boxed complete along with the systems. Each title is pictured in color and its 400 pages. I have some sample pages on my site www.tradengames.com.
    Thanks

    If you are ever in St louis stop by my store Trade-N-Games. I have a huge selection of vintage games along with the new systems. Or shop online now www.tradengames.com
