Fire Pro-Wrestling 6men Scramble Sega Saturn Winning Strategy Special
Pages: 351
Year: 1997
Publisher: Keibunsha
It's been a while since I scanned a Fire Pro guide cover to cover.
At 351 pages, the 6men Winning Strategy Special guide is easily the largest Fire Pro guidebook that I've ever tackled.
Like most of the Fire Pro guides posted here, the 6MS Strategy Special guide was published by Keibunsha, who had a
longstanding history of producing strategy guides for the Fire Pro series going back to the earliest titles on the PC
Engine. It was only natural that Keibunsha stepped inside the ring once again for HUMAN's most ambitious (at the
time) Fire Pro yet.
Unlike past Keibunsha Fire Pro guides, there are no Wrestler illustrations or exclusive interviews to be found in these
pages. The 6men Winning Strategy is pretty much a handy reference for all 160 Wrestlers' movesets with little more
to offer. Though, when you're dealing with a game as expansive as 6men Scramble? I think those points can be
forgiven.
6men Scramble was the Fire Pro title that kickstarted many fan sites outside of Japan. So, after 28 years, it's about
time one of Scramble's original strategy guides was shared in it's entirety.
Check back often as I continue to scan/post all the pages.
Front and back dust jacket.
I just love the edgy 90's comic book artwork. It was quite common in games at the time from Twisted Metal 2 to Royal Pro-Wrestling on the 3D0.
The sleeves of the dust jacket contain advertisements for other guidebooks released by Keibunsha at the time including Dark Savior and Turf Wind.
