Scope and Contents

This is a near-complete collection of Tips & Tricks.

This magazine was unnumbered from May 1995 to December 1998 (Numbers 5–46). For consistency, and to match the numbering scheme used by the community, issue numbers have been added to these earlier issues.

This collection also includes several issues of Tips & Tricks Video Game Codebook. Although Tips & Tricks Codebook uses the same volume and issue numbering as the main magazine, these issues are shelved and organized separately. Due to the shifting publishing schedule of Codebook, there may be additional unknown missing issues from 2007 onward.

Additional Description

Abstract

Tips & Tricks was a long-running video game magazine that covered game strategies and cheat codes. The magazine was a spinoff of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment, also published by Larry Flynt Publications. For most of its run, Chris Bieniek was the magazine's editor-in-chief.

Starting in 1998, Larry Flynt Publications also published a supplementary magazine, Tips & Tricks Video Game Codebook, which continued to be published for several years after the main Tips & Tricks magazine was discontinued in 2007. Codebook was originally a directory of cheat codes, but later it began to incorporate strategy guides and game previews, effectively replacing the original magazine after it was canceled.
