Before I ever saw an issue of Nintendo Power, my dad picked me up this Nintendo strategies guide by the editors of Consumer Guide. I loved it!

This guide was the sole reason I had any sort of direction in Castlevania 2: Simon Quest and I ended up beating the game because of this guide as well! I recently found a copy at the Midwest Gaming Classic for 2 bucks and absolutely got hit by a wave of nostalgia opening it up.

My dad paid $3.97 for this back in 1989. How do I know? This one had the K-Mart price sticker still on it! #retrogames

Thanks for helping me beat Castlevania 2, dad!
