Need help remembering an old NES Strategy Guide

 I figure this is my best bet.

 I distinctly remember a full color, multiple NES game guide that I used to check out from the local library alot when I was a kid. It fascinated me, as I bobbled up anything Nintendo.

 The thing is I cannot remember its name so I can Amazon or EBay it like I have with the rest of my collection. Its the last magazine/strategy guide on my list, but I cant seem to find it.

Going off of memory, I will describe it the best I can:

~I am 80% sure it had a green cover.

~It was not a Consumer Guide as it does not have a Sprial Spine

~It was nothing but NES games and had full color screenies

~I specifacally remember it covered Super Mario 3, Megaman 3, and had a small review of Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, which I am sure was near the back.Therefore, I would think it was realeased in 90, 91 at the least.

 

Any and all help would be most appreciated, as I said its the last magazine on my list.

I know you said it wasn't a Consumer Guide because it wasn't spiral-bound, but not all of the Consumer Guide books had a spiral binding. This one, for instance, was perfect-bound and fits all of your criteria:

Does that one look familiar at all? :)

Lol, I passed by this one on Amazon, thinking it was just another CG guide. Only six bucks, so placedon't an order. I'l know it once I look inside. (Crosses fingers)

Even if it's not, thanks for the help and it will go well with my collection either way.

Lol, it came in today and it turns out they sent me a CG Play Action Strategies SNES book instead. I would be more angry about it if I already had it, but this goes nicely with the others either way.

 Trying again...

*laugh* Well, I hope this one works out. :)

 Came in today, and sadly its not the one. The layout is not what I remember and nothing is ringing any bells. Also, mine was thicker then 64 pages.

Are there any other NES centered mags that have Mario and Megaman 3?

I also remember a screenie of Mario in the desert level with a wistle, and the screenie I remember most is Megaman jumping at one of the large snakes in Snakemans level.

HOLY S___!

I found it! Its Game Player's Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games: Volume Two.

My nostalgia is tripping balls in the biggest way possible. Thanks for having it on your site so I could confirm it.

 I am so fu-king happy right now. Ordering now. Cant breath.
