I'm pretty sure that this subject has come up before but when will
capcom release a street fighter version for the sega genesis. I don't
know much about the workings of the genesis but it shouldn't be any
problems in converting the game. The only thing I can think of was the
number of buttons in the controller. I'm desperately waiting for game.

The Moon Stone you are so desperately seeking is with Lena.  Lena is the 5th
member of your group and she already has the stone with her.  Lena is in the
castle in the second town on the island in Aquatica (The town starts with S,
but I can't remember the name.) You need to go through the dungeon first then
the castle and then fight Lyle, Lena will then join your group.  Go back to
the weather control tower (second level) and put the Moon Stone and Moon tear
in the control deck, and there you are!!!

                        Hope this helps.

	In Chocolate Island 2 I'm having a problem trying to find the other
exit that will make the second road from Chocolate Island 2 apear.
This is the world where the advice box says that depending on the coins
you have or the time remaining will determain your progress. I have find several
different paths to three different ending bars but these endings havn't 
produced the extra road out. Please Email me hints or solutions to finding
the specail exit. I've tried getting certain amounts of coins on each board
but that doesn't seem to be getting me where I want to go. I have not notice
that the time does change my progress is this the clue I'm missing? If so
I don't know what to do with it.
	Also I was wondering how to get to the pipes in the Chocolate Islands
I have noticed that they go to Boweser's valley. Does the Chocolate Ghost

Well Folks,

I'm looking for the same thing but for a different reason.  I recently have
had my Lynx stolen.  I don't quite know how or where, all I know is that it
is gone.  I have had it for over two years and had about 24 carts to go with
it and yes they are gone too.  I had the thing in the latest carrying case,
which as a matter of fact was a recent gift.  

I am at a loss, I just went and purchased Rampart and this is how I found
out that my Lynx was gone.  I have been looking for an excuse to buy a new
Lynx and I guess now I have it, what I don't want to do is buy all the carts
again, at least not a full price.  

If any of you kind souls are getting rid of some of your carts, please keep
me in mind.  And may the person who stole my Lynx lose his/her hands.

Subject: Nintendo Delays CDROM
Date: 28 Aug 92 17:33:50 GMT
Organization: apple computer

FYI: From the newswire:

TOKYO, JAPAN, 1992 AUG 27 (NB) -- Nintendo has announced plans to delay
 the release of an adaptor that would have allowed its game machines to
 play CD-ROMs. The decision is attributed to both a slump in the
 industry, and what Nintendo calls an immature market for CD-ROM games.
 
 Nintendo was planning to release the CD-ROM game machine adaptor for
 its "Super NES" or the "Super Famicom" in January, 1993. Nintendo's
 president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, has told at the press meeting in Tokyo
 that the adaptor will not come out until August 1993. Both the belief
 that the CD-ROM market is not mature and a shortage of quality game
 programs on CD-ROMs were cited as reasons for the delay.
 
 The CD-ROM adaptor is expected to be sold at 27,000 yen ($215).
 Its basic design was developed in cooperation with Sony in January
 1991. Nintendo was planning to release 300,000 units per month starting
 in January 1993.
 
 The delay of the release date may not be a surprise to consumers.
 Nintendo had delayed for a year and half the release of the
 current "Super NES" machine.

Subject: Game copier:Survey
Date: 28 Aug 92 18:15:30 GMT
Organization: Netcom - Online Communication Services  (408 241-9760 guest)

Hi everybody,

I guess a survey might be in order just to see what usage people have for
their Game copiers. And I have set up some kind of a tallying system.

If you want to contribute to this survey, please email me with a subject
in the following format:

    Copier survey:<usage_type>:<number>

 where <usage_type> is one of the following one letter code:

    B - Backup of a cart which you own
    H - Hacking
    P - Backup of a cart which you never owned (==pirate)
    T - Try out a game on a disk, but erased it later due to
        the fact that you didn't like it
    S - Try out a game on a disk, liked it and went out to buy it
    X - Other uses which is not covered by the above, I'll read your
        mail to see what it is.

 and <number> is the number of times which you have enaged in such an
 activity.

Example:

If you have hacked 1 game, pirated 2 games and backup'd 3 of your own games.
Then you should send me 3 different emails with the following subjects:

Cs:H:1
Cs:P:2
Cs:B:3

I promised that your name will not be disclosed to anyone else in this
world, so please participate and see if we canfind out something interesting.


I'll give this a try for 2 weeks, if I can gather enough response. (By that
I mean more than 50 replies.) I'll post the result 2 weeks from now. (If ther
is not enough response, the survey won't mean much anyway.)

Thanks alot for all of you who's going to participate.

Yeah, I've seen it.  I personally try to think of it as one of the great

I have a friend who owns a shop that sells japanese and US games for the Super
Famicom in France. He's got a copier to try all games before ordering them
(games travel faster through phone lines than through air).
Sometimes he ordered 20 copies of such bad games that he never could sell them
at the price he paid them. For him it's a tool for his work. He told me that
almost all shop owners have a copier too.

I have a friend who owns a game copier because he was really fed up to have
spent a lot of money for really crap games. It's a kind of revenge against the
society in his case. Face it, when you buy Ultraman or Xardion at full price,
you'll think twice before buying your next game. Of course, Street Fighter II
worths its price...

Well, though things are relative, I have seen more good games for the Genesis
lately than the SNES.  I bought the SNES specifically because of SFII, which
was a great game (but gets boring as 1 player after awhile), but haven't
seen a whole heck of a lot else out YET.  I agree that there are some good
looking games coming out, but when!!  Turtles was an apparant disappointment
and many of the other titles plain bite.  What are some other available titles
for the SNES that give it the "quality"???  I have played Super Tennis,
which was pretty good.  I thought SMW was ok.  Contra is good so far, not
incredible, but better than most games of the type.  Smash TV is fun, but
not a "great" game, IMHO.   I thought many of the others sucked.  

For the Genesis, I recently got and liked Taz-Mania, WonderBoy, Chuck Rock
and thought they were all excellent.  I have played Fatal Rewind recently
and thought it was kinda poor.  While the number of good Genesis titles coming
out recently has dropped off, the SNES has not had many good ones come out yet,
at least from my opinion.  The Genesis has Alien III, Spiderman vs. XMen, 
Sonic II, USA Basketball, etc.. coming out that look great.  SNES has 
Battletoads, Aliens vs Predator, Hook, and Axelay coming out that look good.

When I look at my library of games I want to play, I still have many more 
Genesis games I enjoy than SNES, and still want more of the upcoming Genesis
titles than SNES ones.

     I'm looking for an expert to tell me how to make the characters
do the special moves in Fatal Fury for the Neo Geo. The puny instruction
booklet doesn't do the game justice. They have instructions like an arrow
pointed up, an arrow pointed down, and the letter A. Does this mean you
point the joystick up, then down, then press A? Or press A and either up
or down? I tried playing it last night and couldn't perform many moves.
Maybe it was because I was getting the shit kicked out of me while I was
trying to execute the moves :). Any Help?
