What are your favorite game strategy guides? (lemmy.world)

As a child I'd occasionally get videogame strategy guides at garage sales which largely fostered my long-term love of reading.

I'm sure others have similar stories so what were some of your favorite Brady/Prima/other strategy guides?

To start off for me:

  • Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
  • Jak 3
  • Knights of the Old Republic
  • Banjo-Kazooie

Jak 3 is probably my personal favorite as I remember liking the artwork/concept art a lot as well as blurbs written in-character.

I still have my games guide for the original Final Fantasy Tactics for the PlayStation. I've kept it all these years just for the beautiful artwork.

That reminded me that at some point I ended up with a FF13 guide and, despite not living the game, really enjoying it.

I purchased an FFX guide when I was very young but unfortunately I remember it having coffee stains all throughout.

Coffee stains? Those are called battle scars. That was a great guide.
