If anyone is interested in a decent list of hint books, you can check my Misc. page at: http://www.classicgaming.com/gotcha/misccol.htm
Most of these books are specific to a particular game, but several are compendiums like QFC and Book of Adventure Games series. Some obscure ones listed in there. I actually don't have that many, but the funny thing is...I've never "collected" hint books. They've always just come in games or were given to me. I do like to collect the compendium ones because they are a great record of the popular games of the time...but I never tried to collect all those single game ones. The only two I'm looking for at this point (not looking very hard either) are QFC V and VI...just to round out the series. Hugh -----Original Message----- From: Stephen S.

What's the full name of those Books of Adventure Games? And in > your opinion are they better than the QfC? "The Book of Adventure Games" and "The Book of Adventure Games II". :) They're of better construction (i.e., they don't fall apart readily), and the reviews are better (but that's not saying much ... Questbusters tends to give positive reviews to *everything*) but they're otherwise not really any better for the big thing, namely hints and walkthroughs and maps. Also, considerations of quality are made rather moot by the fact that there is almost no overlap at all between these books and the Questbusters books. -- Stephen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
