EGM's Guide to Role-Playing Adventure Games

This 24-page guide covers over 35 games from late 1993 (or about). There are many role-playing and action-adventure titles across NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD, and even the CD-i and 3DO. The layouts are colorful and have numerous screenshots and images of characters from the games are dotted around the pages. This is a great look at a number of games, its well-written, and most games get a half-page write-up. You might find some stuff you didn’t know about, like Fireteam Rouge (genesis) or First Queen (snes). You’ll find games like Might & Magic III, Runes of Virtue, Illusion of Gaia, Breath of Fire, Heimdall, Shadowrun, The Horde (3do), Vay (sega cd), and way more! Even Zelda’s Adventure on CD-i, and Dungeon Depths on Jaguar. Some games might have got a name change, or cancelled -- like that Jaguar game. I didn't have time to check them all, but there’s some good content here. This comes from the editors of EGM, but no one is named specifically.
