Re: Some of the (still good!) more obscure Genesis games

Yeah, I think it was based on 8-bit binary (every 8 characters making a letter or something that you could decipher clues from). I will check around and see if I can find some FAQs for it as I am sure that others have done way better at tranlsating it than I did.

Re: Some of the (still good!) more obscure Genesis games

Rocket Knight Adventures came out during the time that all publishers were gunning for a mascot to carry their company much like Sonic and Mario (anyone remember playing Ocean's Mr. Nutz? Awesome game). The problem is, most people that didn't live through that period of gaming, those looking back no...

I have those two and they look awesome, I have a image extractor here so I can get them out no problem.

Re: I need your help guys with a special gift for an Icon

Ter, thank you so much for your help. I will make sure it is duly noted in the release information. I can extract the images for the RM CBZ/CBR release could you possibly make a PDF out of multiple images? That would help out a lot too as we have an increasing number of members that prefer PDF's.

Re: Is there a system that plays both SNES and Super Fami games?

There was a system made years ago, a clone of sorts, that would play N64, SNES, and SFAM carts, there were slots for each. I am trying to find info on it now.

Re: I need your help guys with a special gift for an Icon

Thank you so much for your help with this. You are the only person that is actually coming through with anything out of about 30 that claim they would help (and this has been going on for about 2 months and no support yet from them).

Hey Ter, If you could scan the TKR from the October 92 and March 1993 issues those are needed badly. Here is a list so far of what I have, counting yours there Ter (I am counting the April 1993 TKR as a donation from you since it is your issue now-I scanned it awhile back when I first got permission...

Re: So I got laid off again today :(

Carlos, go down and file unemployment tomorrow/today. Don't wait. Do it immediately. I live in Arkansas and here the boss can fire you for no reason whatsoever (as far as telling you, the employee-they have to give the unemployment office a reason). File the paperwork, if nothing else it may make th...

Oh Ter....I have something for you. My apologies for taking so long (I rescanned it several times and this is the best of the scans-which didn't come out that great but I hope you like it).
