I had a magazine with a Funco Land ad in it and it listed “Street Fighter” under NES games. Naturally I thought that had to be the same game as the arcade lol.

    I had that exact same Mari 64 guide that I got at the Nintendo 64 launch. I don’t know for sure, but i think the first guide I ever had would have either been for Link to the Past or Mortal Kombat II. I THINK it was probably MK II because that was the first game i ever bought for myself for the SNES, and then I got Link to the Past and Super Mario World a little later.

    The first strategy guide I remember reading was for THPS. We need to know how to get the secret tape on the Phoenix down hill level. Then when I worked at GameStop I would pick up random guides when they "penny'd" them out. I figured a penny for a book was pretty good.
