GamePro put out a hint book thing in the early 90s that has been my go-to guide on NES games since getting it. It covers a pretty good range of them, though it isn't complete by any means (the M sect ... |

Oh, yeah, Game Players/UGP was great. I used to subscribe to it, and probably still have most of them packed away in a box somewhere. I remember they had a little bonus insert page for subscribers. ... |

Speaking of EGM's buyer's guide things, I remember really liking their 1995 one, which covered 1994's games. I know the bulk of it was just reprints of articles from throughout the previous year, but ... |

Heh, nowadays people have produced runs that beat The Legend of Zelda in less than an hour (less than two if he meant A Link to the Past).
I remember getting listed in a pen pal thing that Game Pla ... |

I'd believe it. I used to work at a retro gaming store and I remember that being one of the games that was always massively overstocked in our inventory. |

I don't have a way to compare it against a bugged copy but, at a glance, the only thing I can really tell that would for sure be different is the product code having a -1 at the end. Still, I scanned ... |

I dunno, I'm pretty confident that they did squash it. Like I said above, I've had a fixed copy since back when the game was current and the bug hasn't reared its ugly head even once. |

So, does the later version crash for anyone else if they do too many roundhouse kicks (back + B) or is it just my emu? |

Hypothetically speaking, does this price have a specific number? Just curious. |

My copy is the revised 1.1 version so I can vouch for their existence. I contacted THQ way back when and they exchanged it for a fixed version. |

I've never seen a misprint game but I did run into a misprint album once. I had a customer that had bought a copy of AC/DC's "Back In Black," except the actual audio was... well, none of us ... |

I vaguely remember a small scene with Super Mario 3 in the first Beethoven movie. The dialogue made it sound like they were playing a two-player simultaneous mode in the main game. |

What a long, strange journey. But now it's finally here. Crazy.
Whatever became of the homebrew version, though? |

Nifty stuff.
There was one little thing I wanted to mention, though. Near the bottom of page 1, I think the game Sugiyama is playing is Mother 2. |

One of the big giveaways for me (aside from certain performance issues on my ancient computer) was the level three boss. That many sprites on the same line all at once? Ha. :P |

Wow, that's weird. I was just playing Flying Warriors again earlier today, and now here's a prototype build of it. What are the odds?
Thanks. |

Wasn't there somebody working on a fan translation of it at some point in the late 90s? |
