Title: TG16 Guide/Cheats book?
Post by: mitsuman on September 15, 2014, 08:55:18 AM: I used to own a book that was like a guide book for a bunch of different TG16 games. The names of the Military Madness maps were in there. And it seems like the path through the maze level of Legendary Axe was in it as well. Plus a bunch of other stuff. Seems like it was greenish-blue on the cover. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Never mind...found it. This is what I was looking for. (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51HEiwJNhqL.jpg)

Kind of a silly looking cover design-- just what the heck is that thing? A panda or some type of sloth? And what does it have to do with TG-16 games anyway?

Post by: Mishran on September 16, 2014, 04:48:58 PM: GamePro also released strategy guides titled "GamePro Hot Tips" that had info for some TG games included. I can confirm two, Sports games and Adventure games. Not sure if any more were released.

Post by: MrFulci on September 17, 2014, 02:05:09 PM: I own the first 4 books listed here, going from left to right.

I do, also have a, "Tips and Tricks" magazine, the last one that featured a section of TG-16 cheats. After that month, I never saw that section in that magazine again. That magazine is well-worn, since at the time, when I used those cheats/codes, it was easier to lay on a chair, tv-tray, etc, than a, "normal" book. That magazine taught me how to access the cheats in Somer Assault, and get to the flashing screen that may cause epileptic fits!

I'll post pics of it here, later.

Assume millions were made.

Ok, assume dozens were made.

All in a landfill somewhere.
