I do love those old official guide books that came packaged with some select #SNES classics.
And I’m not ashamed to say that I did take a look every now and then. Now where were all those red jewels again? 
@yoakin Ah, Illusion of Time. Mag den Artstyle in diesem Lösungsbuch, auch wenn Lillys Brüste etwas groß geraten sind. Ist die nicht höchstens 14 oder so? xD
@tiefton Der Artstyle ist auf jeden Fall besonders. Ich finde ihn fast schon etwas gruselig. xD
Es gab ja damals auch diverse Comic Specials im gleichen Stil. Hier z.B. aus dem Lufia Comic.
@yoakin Okay, das Gesicht ist schon etwas creepy 
Den Artstyle finde ich an sich aber nicht so schlecht. Ich meine, derselbe Illustrator hatte auch für Terranigma einen Comic gezeichnet, der tatsächlich ganz witzig war IMO.
@OutofPrintArchive Had them too. In times without internet one of the few sources of good tips for a game. And so well made, very good quality and content. I loved the printed maps of whole levels like a big map. I always wondered how they do that. A photo of each screen and then stitched together? 
@OutofPrintArchive @r3vilo Oh wow. Didn’t even know that. That sounds insanely tedious.
Always impressive the amount of care and work that went into these. Nowadays in most cases you don’t even get a proper manual.

You should hear some of the horror stories of how magazines were made in the 80's and early 90's before direct capture equipment was available.
Especially during the summer months.
Having to share what was basically a dark closet, with other magazine departments, a crt in there with a bunch of game systems, some sort of do it yourself contraption built to shield the screen to take all the pictures.
the heat, the humidity, the smells...
