    Default Strategy Guides Question

    Hi,
    I see that emuparadise hosts a large selection of bradygames guides but only has a few piggyback guides. Why is it that one outbalances the other? It would be nice to see more piggyback guides (knowing as they are more detailed and most of the time, better planned out).

    What we have on EP depends on what the users upload. If more users prefer Bradygames, there will be more Bradygames scans.
    To be honest, I have not even heard of piggyback.

    piggyback guides are popular over here in europe, so if you live in the usa or somewhere else its no wonder you dont know about them.

    ilefys usually uploads our guides. He does put up some piggyback guides now and then but you're right in that we don't have so many of them.. lets see if we can find some

    Does anyone still rely on printed strategy guides exclusively anymore? I had like four different ones for Final Fantasy 7, but after I got my first computer, internet access, and found gamefaqs.com I stopped buying them completely. I suppose you do get quite a bit more in the way of pictures, but that's never bothered me any.

    The few Piggyback guides I have are in italian, I suppose you won't be interested in these... Couldn't find many scans of the english versions. BradyGames & PRIMA ones are the most “easy” to find online.
