Hi,
I really need some help with FFII the problem is that I'm about to enter
the manga cave the one where you can't use metal weapons and armor.  The
problem is I can't figure out how the hell to UNequip something my
character is wearing.  For instance I'ld like the paladin to equip a bow
and arrows but I need both hands free first it won't let me just trade 
weapons.  Anyone out there know of commands that weren't in the rule book?
Thanks!

I'm not sure how they deal with copiers, but I do know that police can get 
search warrants to look for drugs if you happen to own a plant light or if
your power consumption rises significantly in a short amount of time.

Sure it is unconstitutional, but they still do it.  I imagine they could get
a search warrant to search your house if they know you own a copier, and if
they search your house, they will look for any disks that might have any
pirated stuff on them, probably including your PC disks.  If they think you
have any pirated software, they will probably sieze all of your videogame
and computer equipment, probably even your TV.  If they have no case against
you, then you won't be found guilty, but you will have to sue the government
to get all of your stuff back.

Read comp.eff.org or something like that...  they have some good info about
raids on suspected pirates.  One of the big cases was the raid at Steve Jackson
Games.

Dos 2.0 for the MGH is not officialy released yet.  The file version that is
being passed around the bbs community is a very early alpha version of DOS 2.0.
The DOS 2.0 is supposed to play all copy protected games and add several features like "Golden Finger".  We will have to wait to actually see.  The adapter 
that is out now works and plays all copy protected games (less SMK, PW) and
regular games.  Its a worth while adapter.

I find it hard to believe that even a small fraction of the games sold
are copies, I dont doubt that some exchanging of copies takes place for
use with game copiers, but i cant see anyone having the resources to
actually produce a copied game on cartridge.

>   As for getting ripped off, the risk is minimal.  I've sold tons of stuff

Well i (and the guy i live with) have traded, bought and sold stuff on
the net for a while now and must have done well over 100 deals, with 99%
of them being overseas (to the US we live in the UK) and we havent been
burned once. The only time anything has 'dissappeared' in the post was
when i was dealing with a trusted friend.

We work on the policy that trades are sent the same day for both parties
and sales require the cash to arrive first.

So go ahead and deal, will make your gaming much better!

It's always possible to destroy your system.  On the other hand, I'd never
soldered anything before, and I got it working fine.

You can switch between the moves, that's the purpose of putting a switch in.

   Also, I think alt.games.super-nes is a better name than alt.super.nes
or alt.games.snes, both of which have been proposed.

   Discussion???

Yes, you can play any Japanese game for the PC-Engine that you can
find.

As opposed to the Sega CD system, all Japanese CD games will work
fine, without any adaptors of hacking kludges.

Japanese Mega CD games will NOT work in US Sega CD systems.

I just got a Genesis after having a SNES for a few months, and I'm pleased
with it. I got it for $119.95 + tax at Waldensoftware and mailed in my
free Sonic 2 coupon. I look at it this way, I basically paid the price
of 3 new cartridges, so the Genesis itself (with one controller) cost only
about as much as a cartridge. (Sonic 2 is one of the reasons I bought
the system.)

Anyways, I've noticed that the Genesis' capabilities seem to be below that
of the Super Nintendo's, especially in two areas

1) Sound (especially Music)
2) Color (it's not a big deal to me, but it is noticeable)

What I think makes up for it is the number of two player games out 
for the Genesis. We played World of Illusion for a while, and though
we found that the graphics of the SNES Mickey Mouse game were better,
this game was more fun because of the two player interactive mode.
My biggest gripe about the SNES is that there aren't enough two player
interactive games...

I guess it all depends on your tastes in games. For me, I decided both
systems was the way to go... (I HAD to try Ecco and Sonic 2)

(I'm even thinking about picking up a Turbo Duo for the RPGs... Any thoughts)

When you're on the sand dune, press all the buttons -- A, B, X, Y, L, R,
SELECT, and START.  You will see a sound test screen.  Keep your eyes on the
message below the words "Sound Test."  It will at first say something like
"Turn it up!"  Press START to get back to the game.  Then press all the
buttons again.  Keep doing this.  Eventually you will see the following
messages:
