Lesse...might do Golden Sun now, just so I never have to play it again and can do the much more fun GS:TLA!

Dogpile on Gwinnett!

Golden Sun is awful.

Lessee -- do Sabrewulf!

For us. For them. For you.

Haha. I'm doing something similar with Shadow Hearts 3. Remember that one?
I dropped it a couple of years ago, and suddenly got the urge to get it out my system. Might manage a few maps too. At least I won't be tempted to do the script. :D

Don't panic!

Yes, Golden Sun is awful. Sabrewulf is tolerable, but it was never my favorite (although it's cool to see someone remember it). As for SH3, man, I haven't touched it since last January...still have a half-finished guide for it, too. As much as I like Mao and Frank, the game just doesn't really cut it for me; in fact, I like Koudelka about 50 times more.

Whoa, it's almost been three weeks. Finished up the walkthrough junk for Golden Sun TLA, and hopefully I can cut down on the boring class work by reusing stuff from the first GS. Kinda hoping to finish in a week's time but who knows...

Dogpile on Gwinnett!

Whoa, page 40 already? I missed a lot. Oh wait, that's page 4 and I didn't. That's okay, though. Doing Wild Arms stuff right now and wasting time with My World My Way appendices until I can finally beat that annoying final boss.

Crappin' along on Black Sigil (DS) and shouldn't be too long 'til it's in the bag.

Well, I wrote the first ever Apple IIgs FAQ for the site. Tower of Myraglen. Maybe more will follow.

Finished Black Sigil...back to Wild Arms or something.

Dogpile on Gwinnett!

Finished Last Bible and now tracking down the last remaining items of MWMW.

Don't panic!

Finished Jake Hunter, probably onto...Eternal Ring! Maybe if I use reverse psychology on myself, I might make progress in Wild Arms.

Dogpile on Gwinnett!

Almost finished with Deep Dungeon 3. The team tourney means that I miss a few final details on FAQs, or I generally settle for small games. But it's a lot of fun, of course.

Finished most Tales of Phantasia crap, just gotta stick in the walkthrough stuff. Could probably finish before month's end if I didn't get sidetracked with Left 4 Dead stuff...ughh.

Dogpile on Gwinnett!

Maybe you'd like to finish MWMW for me. (just kidding!)

I've been doing a lot of thorough tidying and sorting through stuff and been updating some old FAQs and trying to complete things as far as possible now. After that, it's back to MWMW. Though, that Shinsenden NES game is distracting me. Are you planning on doing a FAQ for it ASchultz? I saw your name in the credits for it.

Don't panic!

Threetimes--I have some games I want to take care of first, but yeah, eventually I want to look at Shinsenden. I also sort of wanted to look at Silva Saga, but someone took care of that. I just finished Spelunker 2, but then there are all sorts of other stray NES games, too, including Shadow Brain. We'll see.

I've been playing Shinsenden Fun game, but got to chapter 2 where there is a long scene and the game freezes. Tried it a few times and it's the same so unless it's a problem with the mac emulator that's the end of it for me. (And PP had the exact same thing happen.) Don't suppose you know of this happening to anyone else?

Don't panic!

Well, the first thing to do is see if the gameplay freezes in the original cartridge you played. This is a slight nuisance because, well, it'll be in Japanese, but you can probably retrace your steps by now.

If it freezes in one cart but not the other, then it is a translation bug. In either case, maybe you can email the guy who translated the patch to ask him which version he used, where you got it from, etc. I know he had some issues with spacing the text, and it's possible, though not likely that the text spilled over into the assembly language commands.

Oh, thanks for that. I'll give that a go and see what happens or maybe try finding an alternative source for the game and using the patch on that. I was really rolling along nicely and it was such a disappointment to get stopped in my tracks.

Don't panic!

Tried a different version, same thing happened. But we've found a way around it using the original Japanese game and renamed save states. But only after I'd played that version as well!

Don't panic!

Tales of Phantasia is in the bag. Deciding between Shenmue II or L4D, although any non-RPG would be good at this point.

What up in my neck of the woods...lessee... Was gonna do Ace Combat 3 but the dude sold me a lemon: the save function doesn't work (of all stupid things). So, defaulting to Air Combat (1) and seeing how that turns out; it's looking to be rather short so it won't be very fulfilling. Also got Aidyn Chronicles here and that's a lot meatier, and I think the Orange Box and D are both coming soon, so that's something to look forward to. Might get the first three Colony Wars games too, depending on a little luck...
