This was all!  If you have any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

I have used my MGH to backup around 8-10 games and have had NONE with
copy-protection. I spoke to the COMPANY (not BBS), I bought the console

   If you ride the water spout to its highest point and then jump and
spin to the right (across the ooze), you can often make it across.
However, you will often come up a little short.  Once your start to
sink into the ooze, just keep hitting the JUMP button over and over;
Taz will eventually come up out of the ooze and hop out of that nasty
mess (make sure that once you're in the stuff, you keep jumping over
and over as fast as you can, until you've gotten across). 

   Hope this helps.

   Yes, finally an RPG for the Game Gear that looks to be very well done.
Graphics and story seem top notch (music so far is a little annoying), but
I am still in the first town. Game is typical RPG, you are a prince and must
defeat a baddie, getting 3 others in your party, with the usual roaming
around and hit point fighting. Has 3 saves, ability to copy any saved files.
Saves the game when you power off....NOT good. Be careful. Always have a copy
version, in case you make an unnecessary purchase or do something stupid (well,
maybe just an honest mistake). You cannot undo it.

   DoA boasts an impressive 4 meg, battery backup long quest. Sure hope so!

Picked this up this weekend ... excellent game.  The graphics (especially
background scenery and the dolphin animation) are breathtaking.  The game play
is excellent (though it can be frustrating).  The music is also highest quality,
perfectly complementing game play.

It's a very "pure" game ... no scores or lives.  If you die, you simply restart the
current stage.  I'm perhaps halfway through the game (I played at least 12 hours
Sunday alone).

Tremendous learning curve on the game, definately watch the built in demos for enough
clues to get started.  You have to learn how to swim very well, especially to perform
above surface leaps that become more difficult and more necessary with each level.

Like Sonic, the game encourages you to play fast and loose -- most of the time.  But
on many screens, accuracy is critical.

Saying anthing more would be spoilers ... find someone who has a copy and play it.  It
is also a good risk to buy blind (as I did).
