I went shopping at a local antique mall and found a DVD called iGuide Official Hitman Contracts Interactive Strategy Guide. I didn’t see it on archive or on YouTube so I decided to upload an ISO and a YouTube preview for preservation.
Archive link.
Video shows most but not all.

That is awesome!
I’m a big fan of early 2000s games media like the good old giant book guides like the Zelda Ocarina of Time one.
Especially love the tag line here: “You see the iGuide, you rock the game!”. Gives me a lot of nostalgic TV ads, where everything was 1000% cool and fast.
Good find!

Were these DVDs that people would buy or were they included for free with magazine purchases at the time?
The early 2000s when the internet was crap were wild.

Probably would’ve been found at stores similar to GameStop at the time.
As far as I can tell, iGuide started off as a print publisher of pricing guides, then with the net boom they took their business online. I assume this DVD was more of a side endeavor that they didn’t do for long. Their site (and business) seems to have completely gone defunct in 2024. Information seems quite limited though.
