This is the book that came with early versions of the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment system. It was coveted at that time.
The book is filled with quasi strategy guides to many of the early NES games. By quasi I mean many of the guides are incomplete. Most of them cover halfway through the game or less. There is a full map of Metroid that's pretty helpful. The best stuff is all the in game screenshots, poorly written synopsis' and character and item descriptions. This book is a relic of gaming history. And for that, it is important.
Games covered in some detail with enemy guides, item guides and maps are as follows:
The Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, Commando, Super Mario Bros.,Top Gun, Ghosts and Goblins, Double Dribble (hilariously described as a simulation),Zelda 2- The Adventures of Link, Metroid, Rad Racer (Square's first game), Ring King, Kid Icarus, Pro Wrestling, Castlevania, Excitebike, Arkanoid, Rush n; Attack, Rygar, Ikari Warriors, Spy Hunter, The Goonies 2 and Kung Fu. Lots of Nintendo, Konami and Capcom classics in there. After that there are 29 pages filled with 90 descriptions of 90 games with a single screenshot of each, including box art.
I've gamed all my life and so the history of the hobby means something to me. This book has meaning and value because of that. New it costs over a hundred clams so I grabbed a well used one for a song.
A good buy if your really into retro video gaming , video game history or just for pure nostalgia.
