SEGA Mail Away Game Information Pamphlets
Posted: Wed Feb 16, 2005 8:11 pm
|
Going through all my SEGA stuff, I noticed two things that I forgot about. Apparently, back in the day, you could mail the company for game hints for whatever game you liked and receive a copied walkthrough of sorts. I have two of these, has anyone seen any others or has seen the original files or what not? | |

There's a few more too. Someone either here or at SMS.com posted a zip of a bunch of scans of these about a year or 2 ago.
Also, there's supposedly one for Phantasy Star. Which would be cool to have. |

Cool, think you guys could shoot me a link or some copies, I have one that's not on that list, Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap. It's three pages, front/back. and a map at the end. | |

I suggest to have that added to scans/ someday. |

Cool, thanks! If anyone wants to check out the Wonderboy III one, let me know, unless it's already on the list there. Should have clicked the link first. | |

Hey, uh, anyone actually have zip files of the printouts so I can print out my own? The only thing in that list are pretty crappy jpgs of the front page of some of them, nearly impossible to print out with any bit of quality. | |

Well I guess they must be rescanned properly someday, then. |

Funny I recognized the map of Castle of Illusion pretty much straight away. Played that quite a few hours... | |
