Get the guide books?

[Demonskeith]

Back when guide books were a thing, did you always get one for RPGs?

I own the ones for Star Ocean 1 and 2 because they were $5

I usually picked it up for an RPG game, I never wanted to miss things and have a nice picture book.

I have a Yellow version strategy guide and a Genji: Dawn of the Samurai strategy guide too. (My wife used to work at Walgreens and one of her managers gave her a copy of the game along with the strategy guide.) I still need to play Genji someday. I have strategy guides for non RPGs too.
