Subject: NHL Hockey for SNES?
From: jvessey@husc8.harvard.edu (Jonathan Vessey)
Date: 10 Oct 92 14:46:06 EDT
Organization: Harvard University Science Center

Does anyone know the status of EA's NHL hockey for the SNES? I know that
a rework of Bulls vs. Lakers (now called Bulls vs. Blazers) is on the way;
Mid-November was the last release date I've seen for that (any word?). I'm
trying to convince my roommates that we need a SNES rather than a Genesis
(in part because I love SF2 and in part because I think it's a better system)
but one guy's a huge NHL hockey fan. If I could tell him it's coming out for
SNES, I think we'd be on the way to becoming SNES-equipped.

Random complaint: why, in a game that otherwise sounds great, would NCAA
basketball leave out the Big Ten? I'm assuming it was some sort of licensing
hangup, but it's a joke to include some of the conferences they do without
the Big Ten (unquestionably one of the tp three conferences in the game).  
Still sounds like it'd be worth getting, though.

Are you certain that this technique works when the computer has a really good
goalie?  I don't remember if LA had a good one or not, but you need to
check after the players take the ice, because the computer randomly picks
a goalie (although with the best goalie being picked more often), sometimes
a really bad one.  As I recall, LA isn't a very good team.  Try playing
LA versus New York....

I was worried about this too, but they actually come up with a good idea.

There are actually three different control methods, but I always use the same
one, so it's the only one I know well.

Pad - Moves you in that direction
B-button - rotate shooter 45 degrees ccw
A-button - rotate shooter 45 degrees cw
Both buttons - reverse direction of shooter
(the shooter is always on)

In this way you can go from shooting in any direction to any other direction
in two presses. It works for me.

In the ending scene where it shows the couple standing beside the car(you
can get to the ending by entering "ENDING" at the high score table), push
C button repeatedly. You have to keep pressing for about 30 seconds. Then
the girl in the bikini will appear.

It's been about four years since I last played Zelda 1 and I know that

containers in the second quest.  

I've found the one up by spectacle rock (with the whistle) and I've found
the one in the dessert (with the whistle).  I've also gotten the one with
the raft and the one with the stepladder.  Does anyone remember where
the fifth one is located?  If you do could you please email me a copy of

Subject: Using a SNES US machine in the UK
Date: 14 Oct 92 13:26:27 GMT
Organization: Department of Computing at Lancaster University, UK.


I have recently got a SNES from the US for use here in the UK and have
solved the problem of the power supply and (at some cost) got a
multiout to SCART cable on mail-order now (since both my monitor and TV have
scart inputs). The normal NTSC signal from the other output (not the
multiout) obviously does not work on a UK tv.

However, when I ordered the scart lead the women at the other end of the
phone said that there were some internal modifications needed as well as
the monitor lead and power supply. This was also echoed by someone at a
local computer store I tried to get the lead from. 

I think that perhaps this "internal modification" is a change in the
sync speed (from 60 to the Uk 50Hz signal). In which case Ive got no
problems as I intend to run it at 60 anyway as my TV and monitor work
at 60hz (since I have attached a 50/60Hz switch to my MD which works
fine both ways on both).

Does anyone in the UK (or US) have any idea what this "modification" is
actually about? Am I correct in assuming it is just a speed thing or
not?

Any speculation or firm knowledge would be of great help (to ease my
worried mind!)

Thanks

Jonathan

The sounds are, at best, miminally adequate, and the graphics are

The action is fast, yes, but the entire range of possibilities are

will contain all 28 NFL city teams plus 8 of the greatest teams in football
history.  Such as '78 Pittsburgh, '76 Oakland, '85 Chicago, and '84 San

Okay, here's what you do. I heard they're working on a four player adapter,
much like the one for the NES. You get special controllers that plug into
the four player adapator with each controller using two ports. Now, you
have the ability to use six buttons on each controller. :)

Didn't the Philips CD unit totally bomb? Has anyone acutally bought one of
those things? I'm wondering why Nintendo is even bothering to make their
system compatible with it. 

If Sega had any brains, they'll market the Sega-CD as a multi-media system.
If the Sega-CD catches on, it'll probably become THE multi-media CD standard 
in the industry. Sony is probably betting on this happening, that's why
they've joined forces with Sega.  Then Nintendo will have to make theirs 
Sega-CD compatible :)
