G@mer's Web Directory: Sites, Cheats, & Secrets is a 1999 reference book by Marc Saltzman, published by Brady Publishing. It catalogs thousands of gaming-related websites across genres and platforms, from personal fan pages to official developer sites and multiplayer networks. Each entry includes a brief description, the author's opinion, and for standout sites a 'Certified Cool' stamp. The book is organized into logical chapters covering specific game types, with a 'Mixed Bag' section for everything that doesn't fit neatly. Accompanying the physical paperback is a CD-ROM containing the full directory in HTML format, allowing readers to browse live links in a web browser, along with bonus shareware games and cheat codes. The CD requires Windows 95/98/3.x or a Mac with a CD-ROM drive. At its release price of $19.99, the directory aimed to be an indispensable companion for gamers navigating the rapidly expanding online gaming landscape of the late 1990s.
