I used to print armored core walkthroughs and take them to my room. I think that’s why my parents let me have a computer in my room. So I could use a floppy to bring them over without printing

Nothing beats those old ascii art guides. When you're playing an old game, you know they won't let you down.

everything is fucking videos now. You get stuch at a very particular place? Prepare to sift through literally hours of video instead of, for example, just searching for the name of the place you’re in ingame

did you know that the more inappropriate the place you put the word “fucking” in is, the more seriously people will take your comments? :D

yes, but thanks for telling me anyway :)

The written language is developed by the spoken language. I.e. colloquialisms are king.

I raged against people using literally when they mean figuratively for years. I lost.

I was fascinated at one point by ASCII art. I had seen someone manually drawing some ASCII emoji on a cup as a kid. Weird…

I still have NES guides up there!

Good memories. I was a regular on the boards at one point in time, and regularly contributed to the secrets/cheats/bugs sections

Big shout-out to the absolute GOAT CyricZ, who has perfect guides for every single Yakuza game in existence.

I got in trouble in Middle School for printing out an entire FF6 guide from GameFAQs. It had all of the items and their stats, all of the spells, espers, maps etc. It was absolutely massive and the administration was not happy about me using all of that paper and toner. Already printed it, sucks to be them. 3 hole punched it at home and put it in a binder. It was awesome.

That day you learned a very valuable lesson about permission and forgiveness.

WorldsDumbestMan, 5 godzin temu

It’s easier to ask for forgivness, than to ask for permission.

Got it!

I did the same! But never got caught.

Using that site always made me feel more deep shame than any porn site.

Really sad to see your entire generation give in as it shrinks, and do nothing else with their lives. Next year, the youngest Millenial becomes 30.

Goodbye, friends.

I remember being the first one to make a guide for the game “Bust A Move” (Rhythm dance game). I think it’s still there. My own little contribution to the gaming world.

I think wikis have taken over that niche, at least for more popular games.

I was around 8-9 when i was stuck in Sam & Max: Hit the Road for a long time. Restarted the game and got stuck on the same spot. Finally caved and asked my brother how proceed, at which point he showed me a walkthrough. It blew my mind that that was a thing!

Which spot were you stuck on?

I was never able to figure out that you had to put a magnet onto the hand grabber, and then put the hand grabber into the giant ball of yarn to grab something.

I remember that part! Typical point n click moon logic.

I was stuck on getting the light bulb from the fireplace in their office for far longer than I care to admit. Thanks for the help GaneFAQs.

I don’t remember that part! Been a long, long time. Wish it had been remastered like Day of the Tentacle was.

Boy the KOTOR gamefaq guides I had bookmarked were something else. I would have missed so much of the games without them. Instead, I got to see every single possible dialogue line in the games.

I would take the txt guides for RPG games and print them on the laser printers at my high school.

I saved paper by printing them 4 sheets to a single page.

i’d strip out useful information into my own guides. never published any, but they are useful

Before the Internet got social media, we had the GameFAQs voting thing; you’d get head to head popularity contests of coolest characters. Cloud always won, but it was nice to check daily to see who was most popular.

I still use GameFAQs, though. Even after the buyout, the guides are important to those of us RetroAchevement-ing through some older titles.
