Besides being a mighty fine magazine, one thing that netted N64 Magazine further acclaim was its great tradition of swamping readers in pack-in guides, cheat lists and other booklets full of goodies. Although most were a very standard affair, jumping straight into lists of button codes and unlock conditions, some went the extra mile… even though they really didn’t need to. I mean, people would’ve been glad with any Goldeneye coverage in the era before ASCII-free internet, but N64 Magazine supplied in-depth maps with pointers and highlights, a fold-out poster, and some of their best flavour text.
