Hello, does anyone know whether there exists a list somewhere of all tips, maps, POKEs, etc. which were published in ZZAP!? Similar to but arguably more useful than the list of all reviews.
I know there was one in issue #44, but is there anything more recent?

Nope, they never did another bible of Zzap tips, I guess eventually there will be one on here, but don't hold your breath..... unless of course, you'd like to volunteer to take it on?

Yes, I might do one, but I wanted to check first to make sure I wasn't wasting my time...
But it is a lot of work for one person, maybe if we had 3 or 4 volunteers and we all did 20 issues each?

OK, it's done...
Issues #44-#90 are covered, #91+ will have to wait for now, I also intend to merge PG's list from issue #44. Probably in a few weeks.
Enjoy.
You'll find it at

Wow! Nice work man. And pretty quick too.
I think the 1-44 index is full of errors, as were all Zzap indexes and 'bibles'.
So maybe *someone* has to do it over again?
Ta!

Yes, I don't think PG checked them very closely. I only checked a few out and found that eg. "The Bard's Tale" tips are actually for Bard's Tale 2.
Still, I think I'll leave #1-#43 for someone else to do...although I do intend to do #91+ at some point...

Have a heart! I was but a child!
Some other excuses:
1. It was a really enormous issue and I was knackered from working till 2 in the morning.
2. It wasn't me. We had a bloke called Dave (I think - Gordon, help me out?) do all of these enormous lists, like the reviews indexes. Dave was a very nice man, by the way.
3. I just plain sucked!
Yours, finally taken to task,
