>that will be $150 + tax + fees + tariffs + shipping + tip please for your retro videogame strategy guideDo most of you just skip strategy guides. I don't see how you can possibly afford it. Yet at the same time my OCD autism doesn't believe I own the full original item unless I also have the strategy guide simultaneously. It puts me in a dilemma where I can never feel like my collection is complete because I can never afford all of the strategy guides.
>>12513516You're just being autistic, 99% of games were sold separately from guides, and the majority of games didn't really necessitate guides in the first place. I'm not talking about a game being easy, I'm talking about stupid shit like Player's Guides for fighting and rhythm and racing and sports.
How many times are we going to have shitty threads like this?
GameFAQs has been around since 1996.>>12513606Until the janny wakes up and starts deleting the /v/ tier threads, which will be never because the current one is retarded.
>>12513516I download them on Archive.org and put them on a tablet or laptop
>>12513516Sometimes strategy guides have cool art, additional lore, or stuff like the isometric views of the levels in the MGS1 guide.There's also some games where the visual elements of the strategy guide make it infinitely better than anything Gamefaqs could offer, such as the Kula World guide having wireframe drawings of all the levels.And other times it's just fun to laugh at, like how the La Pucelle Tactics strategy guide features multiple drawings obviously traced from various bits of Trigun media.
>>12513516Tariffs don't affect a used strategy guide on ebay dude. And quit being a retard. You don't need to collect everything for every game you buy. In fact, you shouldn't buy used games at all and use roms on modded consoles, flashcarts, mister etc etc unless you really fucking enjoy throwing away absurd amounts of money on some collection collecting dust and taking up space.
>>12513516I have a few for some RPGs and shit. Mostly CRPGs that have the arbitrary puzzle or story moment where you're going to bang your head on the keyboard in frustration for a few hours figuring it out through trial and error. Nowadays though, it's a google search away. I do have a binder with printed out .pdfs of original manuals and a couple Nintendo Power articles for a handful of games, but that's about it. They aren't really necessary for the vast majority of games. Even Symphony of the Night. I figured out the upside down castle the second or third time I played it.
I got news the retrogame store in my old hood was going out of bussiness so I went to check it out, all the games were still $100s of dollars. I get the owner wass probably just taking everything home and sold it online. But clearly you held onto this store for a reason, but can't part with a single game unless you get millions of dollars for it.
