Since there are so many little subsets to pay attention to if you have a paper problem here's another list of sorts to help see what else is out there.  Please contribute as this was a very casual side hobby for me and I know there are probably tons more out there.  I was mainly focusing on the gamepro and EGM guides for a while there and haven't been searching as much lately.  I'd just love to see what else is out there so I can keep pressing on at my leisure.

Check it out!   Some fun ones here.  This list is mainly directed towards mini guides that came as a pack in on some magazine subscriptions.   There is a pretty great selection of 'mini' guides out there from various publishers and would love to get a collection of those listed as well.  Just not sure if it would be here or another thread. 

EIther way... enough talking, enjoy some eye candy!

Nice work buddy!

Do you keep track of what issues of each magazine they were a supplement to, so people can track them down?

That would be my next step.  I havea  rough idea on some but I'd like to track them all to make this a good reference thread.  So as I get time and confirmations I can certainly add to the list!   ANything you have I don't up there?  

Thanks for the kind words Mr. Smith

Nothing to add.
I have never tried to search out any of the supplemental guides because I didn't know which ones there are or where to look for them

N64 Magazine out of the UK would have one or two supplemental guides with every issue.  And of course I threw them out at some point... :\

I sent a Prima/Best Buy mini guide for Ogre Battle 64 to another member here a few years ago, but I don't have a picture.

I still have to start working on that set.  I've got a few of them but once I have a free day to really get after it I will be holding off for just a sec

They were stapled in a few but most have very clean spines so I'm not sure how they were attached, but they were inside the magazines on many that I could track down numbers to.  I'll get the list updated if I find my list that I had going....

Yeah I'm awaiting one more of the mini Best Buy guides to post the set.  Shouldn't be too long now.... I don't think they qualify for this thread in particularly but there are some really nice mini guides out there that people should know about.

I know that for some I purchased new, the magazine would be sealed in plastic and the supplemental guide would be loose between the magazine and bag. Similar to demo discs that were sometimes included.

Thank you!   And also I've found a partial list I had started on some dates of issues so I've updated a few of the Gamepro listings to show what issue to be on the lookout for.   Just a start but we'll get them all eventually
