Retro Game Guides: Walkthrough

Offline FAQs, Maps & Manuals

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

23 classic walkthroughs included. Import your own TXT guides and PDF manuals, then read offline with search, Contents and your place saved. No account, no ads. Retro Game Guides turns old-school walkthroughs into a clean, searchable, offline library built for iPhone. Import the guides you already trust, save supported online guides, or follow an included Standard Edition which is a clear, carefully researched walkthrough from start to finish. Desktop-era guides become comfortable to read without losing the maps, tables, and carefully spaced layouts that make them useful. Retro Game Guides remembers your place, builds clickable Contents, lets you bookmark places you want to revisit, and adds search, highlights, and notes. BUILT FOR OLD-SCHOOL WALKTHROUGHS - Reflow hard-wrapped prose for comfortable phone reading. - Preserve recognized maps, tables, and fixed-width layouts. - Choose Reflow, Original, or No wrap for every guide. - Adjust text size; choose Day or Night ops for the app in Settings. - Keep each guide’s layout and reading position. FIND THE RIGHT PART FAST - Open Contents for sections built from the guide’s structure. - Search this guide, the game’s other guides, or all games with passage context. - Bookmark places you want to revisit, with an automatic heading and useful excerpt. - Collect highlights, notes, and bookmarks in the Notes tab. - Resume the reading position saved for every guide. BRING ONE GUIDE OR A WHOLE COLLECTION Import one or more TXT files from Files, preview a folder before import, skip duplicates, and see which items need review. Add PDFs too, such as a game's original manual: they read as their printed pages, with Contents, a page grid, and search when the PDF has text. Supported online guide pages can also be saved for personal offline reading, with formatted guides keeping their chapters, tables and images. Multiple walkthroughs, FAQs, maps, and notes stay organized under the game they belong to. INCLUDED STANDARD EDITIONS Twenty-three classic games currently include an original Standard Edition. Each carefully researched route states the platform and scope it supports, places consequential warnings before the closing action, and uses the same offline reader, Contents, search, and saved position as every other guide. No separate guide purchase is required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics or tracking. Your guide library, reading progress, highlights, notes, favorites, and bookmarks stay on your device. Finding new guides, loading cover art, and making or restoring a purchase use the network when needed. FREE TO START Keep up to three games in your library, with unlimited guides in each. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unlimited games and larger batch imports. There is no subscription, and Standard Editions do not require a separate guide purchase.

Reader text now follows your system text size and goes up to twice its default size, and buttons and labels throughout the app grow with it. VoiceOver and Voice Control are easier to use, and Reduce Motion fades the reader's bars instead of sliding them. Imports are steadier: TXT guides in older Windows, Latin-1 or UTF-16 encodings import as readable text, and large folders import in small batches without failing after you open Needs Review or Skipped. Fixes for search results, saving your place right after scrolling, the tab bar over the keyboard, and a blank page while a large guide opens.
