SMS FAQ Completion Project: Part 3
tim_roast posted... tim_roast posted...I uploaded a guide for Flash Point, that old Korean classic that you've all heard of (particularly Odino). If it gets accepted there'll be 50 to go I believe. Oh my childhood comes back into memory...oh wait, not! I just added these games because they exist, guys, rather do it correctly than wait for someone to add it badly (which happened with the NES Sachen stuff). I don't consider "owing" guides because I added those, but I'll try to contribute something once in a while ;) |
Glacoras posted... Updated the site. Haven't done a news item yet (will wait until today's queue is finished). Unsure how to mark Xenon 2 on the site, so just had it claimed. Thanks. Can you update my Flash Point contribution so that is it listed against TheMightyRoast rather than tim_roast. Thanks. |
odino posted... I don't consider "owing" guides because I added those, but I'll try to contribute something once in a while ;) Every contribution would be much appreciated, especially if you can knock out that Japanese game you mentioned previously. |
I saw your PM, yeah I'll look into it but I think it's not hard to play without Japanese knowledge anyway. I mean, Bakabon means "idiot kid" so what do you expect :) Good thing about the Korean games, they are often also on the MSX and that's easier to...ahem....play. |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/2000094-faq-contributors-general/64888866 Anyone? I gave up on Xenon 2 - can't get it to force me past Level 2 - so I want to know if anyone else wants it. I'm cancelling my claim on it now. --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
Uploaded an FAQ/Walkthrough for Hook. Again, if anyone wants that Xenon 2 FAQ, it's theirs. I'm probably not gonna touch that for a LONG time. --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |

Jfyi, if you sign up to the page you can handle lots of the update stuff yourself and thus make it even faster. That's what the useraccounts on the page are for ;) @Keyblade: Why, oh why does your xenon2 guide have to be in formatted format... =( I'm already on the lookout for what to do next once I finish Bubble Bobble (probably/hopefully even before the world ends in a few days), so I'm a little little bit interested in finishing it, but it being a formatted guide and the required images in it to keep the quality consistent and the fact that the game is a shmup are some huge letdowns for me... probably not... --- I don't care who your dad is!

I don't mind if you take out the images or formatting. Do what you want with it - the images were in place to save me from needless descriptions of enemies. It was originally a text FAQ to begin with and, here, you just to realign the characters to the 80-character limit, remove some of the blatant formatting, and add some headers I guess. About two hours work, if that. --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |

And, for that matter, cancel my claims on PGA Tour Golf and Xenon 2? I can't figure out how to do it on-site. --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
Done and done =) --- I don't care who your dad is! While I'm fishing here nobody walks over the water! http://www.selmiak.de.vu |
The Mighty "M" has fallen. Mick & Mack Global Gladiators submitted. --- http://www.youtube.com/PurrfectTrio. PSN = Azul Fria. 3rd gen FAQer, go me. July 28, 2012: Demorga Terri Matthews, the next ice princess is born. |
I'll toss in some more claims: - Great Golf - Super Racing - Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story Of course, two of these are Japanese, so we may or may not see these same claims cancelled soon ... can't exactly check right now. --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
Keyblade, that Xenon 2 guide is looking much better than before. Would love to see it completed, but I doubt it will be by me (already got too much to do). --- There is no failure, only feedback. |
MMGG is up now --- http://www.youtube.com/PurrfectTrio. PSN = Azul Fria. 3rd gen FAQer, go me. July 28, 2012: Demorga Terri Matthews, the next ice princess is born. |
Glacoras posted... Just want to point out that some screenshots of Xenon 2 have been accepted. Due to me mentioning that, here are the current games that require a screenshot (if you play or cover them, can you upload a screenshot for them?) Added covers for 94 Super World Cup Soccer, Cyborg Z and a better one for Satellite 7. Have submitted screenshots for Flash Point but these are still in the queue. Couldn't find a box shot for F-1 Spirit - The way to Formula-1 anywhere. |
Uploaded an FAQ for Great Golf (Japan). --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
Eagles 5 / Doksuri 5 Hyeongjae is a game released for the SMS by Zemina in 1990. Going to try and get this game added to the site (don't worry, I already own a copy [but not claiming it as I haven't played it yet]). Penguin Adventure is the same as the MSX version. If you write for one, you should be able to cross-link to the other. Looking around, there may be some more unknown games for this console. It was very popular in Brazil and Korea, so I would expect to see some more games appear on this site for this console before we have finished. --- There is no failure, only feedback. |
http://segaretro.org/index.php?title=Category:Master_System_games&pageuntil=Montezuma%27s+Revenge#mw-pages This page has a nice list of all the games that their database knows about. Just posting this for anyone to have a look through. --- There is no failure, only feedback. |
Glacoras posted... http://segaretro.org/index.php?title=Category:Master_System_games&pageuntil=Montezuma%27s+Revenge#mw-pages That list is incomplete. It doesn't include for example 94 Super World Cup Soccer and Street Master for example. Best place to go is to www.smspower.org in my opinion as they are dedicated to SMS, although some of the Korean games are rip-offs of other games due to relaxed copyright laws they used to have. |
Andre Agassi Tennis submitted. --- http://www.youtube.com/PurrfectTrio. PSN = Azul Fria. 3rd gen FAQer, go me. July 28, 2012: Demorga Terri Matthews, the next ice princess is born. |
Super Racing and Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story also submitted. --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
And, as expected, new claims - Comical Machine Gun Joe, Digger Chan, Great Baseball (JP) and I'll try my hand once more at PGA Tour Golf. Don't expect much on the latter two - you know, Japanese and didn't-work-before - but there's always that hope. ;) --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
Doksuri 5 Hyeongjae (aka Eagle 5) has been accepted to this site. A new game shouldn't be too much of an issue with this project, especially since we have been averaging 8 guides a month since June this year. --- There is no failure, only feedback. |
Any way to reset my password or to find it out? |
Hey KeyBlade, nice work on Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. A nice detailed walkthrough for this one. Good job! --- American NES games left to beat: 3 Last 3 NES games beaten: Romance of the Three Kingdoms II, Nobunaga's Ambition II and Gemfire [Updated 7/21/10] |
hmmm, guess what...! --- I don't care who your dad is! While I'm fishing here nobody walks over the water! http://www.selmiak.de.vu |
I have a stupid password, luckily I remembered it. I claimed Penguin Adventure which I'll do with the MSX version. The SEGA Master System is such a lazy port it still contains references to the MSX version like 'Press the Space Key' |
Bubble Bobble is accepted and up. @Joni: So then we'll have another game completed with a FAQ for another system? =( --- I don't care who your dad is! While I'm fishing here nobody walks over the water! http://www.selmiak.de.vu |
selmiak posted... Bubble Bobble is accepted and up. What will your next game be then? |
I don't know, recommend me something short. Shorter than 200 levels like freaking Bubble Bobble! Will decide in january or so ;) --- I don't care who your dad is! While I'm fishing here nobody walks over the water! http://www.selmiak.de.vu |
selmiak posted... I don't know, recommend me something short. Shorter than 200 levels like freaking Bubble Bobble! Surely all the games left now have less than 200 levels? You might want to try out some games and see which you like? Or you might like Super Smash TV? |
selmiak posted... Bubble Bobble is accepted and up. True, but in this case it would be a completely identical game. |
Dynamite Headdy GG version (http://www.gamefaqs.com/586683) seems to be 80% covered. Quick way would be to contact the authors for permission to build upon their GG FAQs then just edit in the version differences & controls for a full SMS FAQ. |

Quick way would be to contact the authors for permission to build upon their GG FAQs then just edit in the version differences & controls for a full SMS FAQ. Trouble is both those FAQs were written over 10 years ago, plus they were the only ones that the authors wrote (on the GameFAQs website). |
Some more FAQs are ready to upload - Digger Chan, Comical MachineGun Joe, PGA Tour Golf, and Great Baseball (Japan). I'll just wait until after the holidays due to internet issues... Plus Comical MachineGun Joe is Formatted and has screenshots. Bleh on dial-up. selmiak posted... I don't know, recommend me something short. Shorter than 200 levels like freaking Bubble Bobble! I dug into the data for Xenon 2 - the PC version anyways, which is somewhat similar, but not enough for an FAQ - and it seems to contain five stages, two of which are complete on my FAQ. So, yeah... *shoves FAQ your way* XD --- Every wound a new opportunity, every curse a new challenge. I shall encounter defeats... But I will not be defeated. |
JoniPhilips posted... selmiak posted...Bubble Bobble is accepted and up. Doesn't matter anymore. I found the emulator Meka, which lets my Korean ROM work. Writing for one version and checking via the other if it is correct. |

Reggie Jackson is uploaded --- http://www.youtube.com/PurrfectTrio. PSN = Azul Fria. 3rd gen FAQer, go me. July 28, 2012: Demorga Terri Matthews, the next ice princess is born. |
and now so is G-Loc --- http://www.youtube.com/PurrfectTrio. PSN = Azul Fria. 3rd gen FAQer, go me. July 28, 2012: Demorga Terri Matthews, the next ice princess is born. |
So by mid-January we should have covered seven more games. We should reach 150 covered games by this project by the end of January. Considering we covered 77 in the first project, that would make for a total of 227 of 345 games covered by the FAQ CP. That is not too bad. |
Not too bad at all. I uploaded a FAQ for Dallyeora Pigu-Wang, a little dodgeball game that was quite fun. One of Odino's favourites I believe. 35 to go (possibly, if I did my sums right). |
Put in claims for Smurfs 2 and Super Smash TV --- http://www.youtube.com/PurrfectTrio. PSN = Azul Fria. 3rd gen FAQer, go me. July 28, 2012: Demorga Terri Matthews, the next ice princess is born. |

Considering we covered 77 in the first project, that would make for a total of 227 of 345 games covered by the FAQ CP. That is not too bad. Would be less than that. The Incredible Hulk was classed as part of the original 77 guides, but was seriously incomplete and was removed during this project. I also think that some of the remaining 76 guides were removed before the project was restarted and other people covered them before the restart. Still, over 200 guides because of both durations of this project is a good number. Don't think the number of removed guides was more than 10, IIRC. EDIT: Should have mentioned that the above example was then covered by someone during this project after the removal of the original, 1-level-covered-only guide. --- There is no failure, only feedback. |
Still, both projects together have covered more than 50% of the games. That is quite impressive even without the removed guides. Now if only GameFAQs would update. |
I'll just give a quick update. Had computer issues, screen on my laptop died. Got a new one for Christmas though, so I'm back. I see this has been going well lately. Had to rewrite Danan, least it's fairly short and easy. Over half done, will upload it later today most likely. Apologies for the delay. --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
Danan the Jungle Fighter submitted. --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
JoniPhilips posted... Now if only GameFAQs would update. GameFAQs is updated. |
I decided to claim Home Alone. Seems simple enough, but haven't finished it yet, big problem is the "hidden" items in later levels, but should be able to get through those levels with trial and error. First claim for the year, probably won't be the first completed FAQ (won't get much time to play until the weekend). --- ~ Ringworm ~ |
So the following can be listed as completed. It means December ties for best month with September. Dallyeora Pigu Wang Danan: The Jungle Fighter G-LOC Penguin Adventure Reggie Jackson Baseball |
