  1. This seems to be one of those weird reverse-case scenarios where the game came out on a console first, then received a PC release years later. And they didn't even add in any H-scenes. The scenario sounds really interesting, but I don't see that this ever got an English translation. Alas... 😞

    This is the 1996 video game yellow pages? I'm not seeing Inezh's phone number anywhere...

    That's because this is volume one, dealing with contacts in Sales, Merchandising, Tech Support, and company addresses. You'll have to wait for volume 35, where they finally drill down to Talent Hired For FMV Games. :)

    Well I got my then-girlfriend a copy of Monopoly (she actually wanted it) so I guess that was one point in my favor but if there was a pizza party I never got to enjoy it because I quit the job over anxiety of the upsell pressure, lol.

    So the true pizza party was the friends you made along the way? Ah, I should have seen it coming. :)

    This is pretty awesome. I worked at Funco in November of 1995 so I'm remembering some of these games and their prices. Special commission for every copy of Genesis Monopoly that you sell, Mike! Gotta get those numbers, Mike! DON'T YOU WANT A FUCKING PIZZA PARTY AT THE END OF THE MONTH MIIIIIKEEE!!?!?!

    But..did you get the pizza party? And if so, how many copies of Monopoly for the Genesis did you push on unsuspecting kids in order to earn that pizza? :)

    Why is this in the Xbox section when it was published by Sony

    Whoops! Made a mistake when I uploaded them. Thanks for the correction, @mvangord. It's been moved to the proper section. :)

  6. I'm not entirely certain, but I don't think this lasted beyond its first issue. Nokia must have paid out the nose for this issue; ads for the NGAGE appear literally every third page, including the inside front, inside back, and back cover.

    I had this.  Nice to see some of the "we can't license any official images" era of strategy guides on this site.  I also had the BradyGames guide which was slightly better since it didn't devote tons of page space to a bunch of GamePro-ass comic book people.  Also this guide refers to a Shy Guy as a "ghost Koopa".

    The "unofficial/unauthorized" era of guide making is one of my favorite. I intend to keep adding more of them to the site, including this one which I just picked up the other day. :)

    I have a Legend of Dragoon Hint Book. It's sort of a mini early version of this strategy guide. I believe it came packed in with a magazine, but I don't know which one. I will probably send it to phillyman (expensive shipping to canada), along with some other donations that are missing on here.

    That would be awesome! :)

  9. The last physical issue of Video Watchdog, produced in 2017. Digital versions of this issue were given away for free on VideoWatchdog.com for anyone to download; physical copies were made available for a flat $20 (or $25 outside the US). Subscribers received a physical copy signed in silver ink on the inside back cover by magazine editors Tim and Donna Lucas.
