Prima Games eGuides
What it is
Prima Games eGuides is a web library of official video-game strategy guides containing walkthroughs, maps, collectible checklists, and boss tactics. Full-text search covers the archive, which lists 251 guides and 25,589,130 words of strategy; another page says 256 guides are open in full with a free account. Without an account, readers can complete three guides and read the first three sections of other guides. Guides work on phones, and checklists remember where a reader stopped. Maps and checklists load inside guide pages from cartographer.gamurs.group, so privacy extensions or networks blocking embedded frames may hide them. The eGuides store is closed, and guides cannot be bought or refunded there. Old accounts, owned guides, and purchases were migrated. Sign-in uses a one-time email link expiring after 15 minutes or a password. Available guides date from 2009 to 2018.
