Description: This is a walkthrough, hints, tips, review and preview guide to Nintendo 64 (N64) games. There are level by level walkthroughs for both 'Super Mario 64', and 'PilotWings 64', and a descriptive look at the characters of "Mortal Kombat Trilogy. There are then 26 reviews of other games. Of these reviews five of the games were never released for the N64, these titles being; "Freak Boy", "Robotech: Crystal Dreams", "Buggie Boogie", "Descent", and "Kirby's Air Ride". However the last one 'Kirby' did make its way to the Nintendo GameCube. The game 'Tetrisphere', is listed here as "Tetrisphear". The three featured games have multiple color screenshots, while most of the other games reviewed also have a few screenshots. There are two interviews at the end of the book, and a series of quotes from Howard Lincoln. The first interview is of one of the systems 'Principal Engineer' J. Scott Carr, and the other of an un-named 'Nintendo Game Counselor'. This book was later re-released in a 'Pocket' size edition exclusively for 'Best Buy'. Its screenshots are gray-scale, the one for the game 'War Gods', has been removed, and some of the screenshots for 'Super Mario 64' have been changed, with new ones added and others removed. The 'Mortal Kombat Trilogy' section was replaced with a shorter preview, and the Howard Lincoln section was removed for this later edition.
