Congrats on finishing off a letter, vinheim.

Just one question (to you and Mike), do you want me to change the Zool claim to today's date and have the game claimed by both of you?

That'd be nice Games. Let's see what Mike thinks.

Change the date on the claim? Yeah, sure, why not.

Do you have MSN, Vin? Or do I have to re-download AOL-talky-messenger-thing?

Will update the site soon, but in the middle of studying.

Just decided to look through Solomon Key images for the NES and noticed that (excluding colour schemes) the games are identical. This made me decide to send in a Report to crosslink the 2 guides.

Send one for Impossible Mission while you're at it. All the versions of the game (including the DS and PSP versions) are the same, only that with different sounds and graphics (of course)

I hope the FAQ for this game is no impossible mission =)
.

It is now possible to add coauthors for all claimed guides for registered users on my FAQ CP page. But only the person that claimed the game can add or delete a coauthor. Have fun with this!

If you are not registered, just post here, Games or I will handle this then.

If you find any bugs or something claimed/coauthorclaimed not showing up correctly please tell me and post here too.

Playing a 3D game without glasses is actually really simple in Meka. Just click on Video/3-D Glasses, make sure they're enabled, and pick "show left side" or "show right side." This doesn't really affect any of the games too much, though your aim on Missile Defense 3-D might be a little off.

You can take me off of Desert Strike. The Genesis/SNES versions have the exact same gameplay, but (obviously) with improved graphics. The FAQ located here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/genesis/file/366850/43555 will do the job. I don't know exactly which feedback form to use to send this in though...

You use a Problem Report on the guide you want cross-linked. I just sent it through with all 3 Genisis guides and am hoping at least one of them will be accepted.

The SMS and Genesis versions of Ariel: The Little Mermaid are different enough that I would not recommend linking the guides and the Genesis guide relies on features not present in the SMS version.

Btw, could anyone who can read Spanish (or whatever is used on the back of Brazilian Game Boxes) please translate this for me, please? http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/sms/image/940262.html?box=90121.

I may be claiming that game soon, but this is not me actually claiming said game (encase someone else wants to claim it). Probably end up claiming the game after I have got past the hardest part of mine and DS's Destroy All Humans! guide (the 2 sections I am on atm).

Haha, third is the last chance! XD

Let me give it a try Games. I know Spanish like if it was english, but the problem is that it's in Portuguese. Since they are similar, I'll try to translate:

Did you ever imagine swimming around with a beautiful mermaid? Well, be prepared, because the most amazing underwater adventure is about to begin. You, Ariel, are going to explore the beauty and dangers of the ocean, a fight to save the people of the sea. Ursula, a wicked witch, wants to conquer the Seven Seas and has kidnapped King Triton and his servants, transforming them into octopus.

To help them, Ariel must deal horrible challenges through 4 stages of the game. Besides Ursula, you must deal with sharks, jellyfish and other horrible monsters. But don't fret, because you'll have help. Besides the hidden treasures, you'll always have Sebastian, Flounder and the digger fish to back you up.

Take a deep breath, prepare for the action and get to work. This time, the sea is certainly not for fish.


There you go Keith. Hope this helps out.

Chuck Rock is done, but as I don't have the internet at home right now (just moved), may be a little while before I can get it on the site, as I only have access at work. Still haven't found a memory stick, will find it in one of the boxes soon, or I'll just buy another one. That's another game completed anyway, but don't mark it off yet.

Paperboy is done. It's a horribly empty and pointless version of that game, so it's not my best work. However, at least that's another one down.

Thanks for the translation. I do find it a bit weird, as the version I have also allows you to play as Triton, but that wil do. Thanks again.

I believe the SMS version of Paperboy is essentially the same as the Genesis version, for the record.

The Fantasy Zone: The Maze FAQ is missing more than half of the game. There are 51 levels and an ending.

Rob
selmiak | Posted 1/13/2010 12:39:07 AM | message detail
there is an ending? After finishing Pocarius I saw Plaleaf again and though this just loops >_>
Gotta check this out!
Any thoughts on the stuff that is already there?

selmiak | Posted 1/13/2010 2:08:10 AM | message detail
damned this is really different on a second playthrough. Pluvius, do you count the bonus stages as levels? or is it more like 3 levels per world, so with 7 worlds a 3 levels, this means 2 complete playthroughs and 9 extra levels (3 worlds)?!


another thing, is there a translation for Sherlock Holmes: Loretta no Shouzou available or even the game?

The game can be found (maybe not under the full title, generally just the second part, mispelled). As for a translation, there isn't one that I am aware of.

It's been a while since I've played it, so I don't remember how it's laid out. I took the number of levels from the ending screenshots posted at the VG Museum.

I know I have not completed Golden Axe yet, but I have decided to claim Disney's Ariel, The Little Mermaid as I think this is a game I can easily complete within a week. Planning to get the new claim done by the end of the month, but I am sure I could get through it by the end of February at the latest.

Seriously hope I do not need to keep claiming games to BUMP this topic, or at least the next BUMP is reporting on a guide's progress for this CP.

I think I may have butchered any sticky attempt with the advertisement towards the NES project.

Anyway, 2/4 levels in the walkthrough has been done as I post this message, along with the majority of the Game Basics.

Why, 5 is just 5, dear sir. It is surely no more, and surely no less. Therefore, it is just 5.

Or, alternatively, I was just answering Vinheim's question. :/

It's unclaimed, according to both websites. I think odino mentioned it earlier in the topic, but do not think that was an actual claim.
