Title: Strategy Guides
Post by: jlink4603 on February 28, 2016, 07:37:09 am

Anybody know ways to find guides and back issues of Nintendo Power besides ebay and amazon, I know it sounds like a dumb question, but Im just starting on this journey and its exciting and it has me going nuts thinking about the games and guides just waiting to be found

Forums like this, gaming conventions, used book stores, garage sales,  even ask local game stores there might be a guide that got traded in with a game.

Goodwill/charity shops - check the non-fiction books (usually taller than novels, as are many if not most strategy guides) , also check the kids books as a lot of volunteers associate anything mangaish or fantasy with children and will missfile guides even for mature games in the kids' section.

Fortunately guides are an pretty easy sub collection as they can still be found pretty regularly at thrift stores for dirt cheap. not as easy to find, but I have seen a lot of vintage gaming mags at thrift stores as well, again pretty cheap when I come across them.
