I have Super Monaco GP for sale for the Genesis.
I will take the best offer over $20.  I would really like to 
trade it for 1*9 70ns SIMMs 3 chip.  I may even settle for
2 256*9 70ns 3 chp SIMMs. Make me an offer.  I am also selling a Mega Drive to  
Genesis converter that lets you play Mega Drive games on your Genesis for
$20 (shipping included) or a 1*9 70ns 3 chp SIMM module or maybe even some
game software for the IBM compatibles.  In the way of games, I am looking
for Karateka (yes I know it's old but I love that game) and X-Men:
Madness in Murderworld.  Reguardless, send me your offer.  Thanks.

I must be missing something real basic here.  I get the King's Sword,
Shield, and Armor and hang them on the statue.  I am told that I get
a Sphere.  However I cannot find this sphere anywhere in my inventory.
The manual shows a picture of the Items screen with a trash can at the
bottom and the word Sphere.  These do not appear on my game.

Thanks.

Has anybody ever seen an American version of 'Xevious'?  It was a great
game on the Famicon, and I wonder if it ever made it to the states.  It's
probably more than 6 years old now.  Couple of engineer friends I had in
Tokyo played it every day, and even made a rapid fire shooting game paddle
for it.

They seemed serious about beating the game.  By the way their section
made games for various platforms, and they were allowed to do anything
since they were making money.

as far as 'gems of knowledge goes', this is a cubic zirconia.  nonetheless, i
'found' a method of playing SMW that creates an added challenge -- complete as
many levels as possible WITHOUT ever using a switch palace.

the ultimate test is to get beyond the star worlds to tubular, et al without
any switching.  give it a try.

>   SWITCHBLADE II? Whatever happened to SWITCHBLADE I?

Both games have been out for the Amiga for ages.  The first one was pretty
sorry... made by what I believe to be Anime fans (two things tell me this...
first, the intro is like a cartridge-based intro, complete with an Anime-
looking guy... second, the guy's name is Hiro, which is a romanjization of
"Hero" [at least, *I* think so :) ]).  The second one was like the first,
with larger characters and different weapons.  I didn't play much of
either.  They must have decided that the 2nd one was the only one worth
porting.

BTW, IMHO, the Lynx programmers really should start concentrating on using
the digital audio hardware, even if it means sacrificing half their rom to
do it... because, if one thing blows someone away about portable (or ANY)
gaming, it's digitized sound.  Klax is an excellent example.

  The card is called DEFENDER / STARGATE / DEFENDER II. It's essentally a Lynx
adaptation of a computer game of the same name, which is (natch) based on
the Williams' classics.

  For the record, the computer version of D/S/D2 offers the following game
modes:

        * Regular DEFENDER (just like the arcade)
        * Regular STARGATE (just like the arcade)
        * "Defender II" - A 'sequel' to the above games, with even more
             enemies. You get the whole array of STARGATE weaponry.
        * All three of the above games, but with enhanced graphics and
             sound effects.

>If the Robotron conversion is any indication,

  Lynx ROBOTRON was done by Shadowsoft, a third-party developer. D/S/D2 is
being done by Atari, so there's not necessarily a correlation that the
triple-card will be as good as ROBOTRON. One can hope, though.

  On the other hand, Shadowsoft's next Lynx game is supposed to be a version
of JOUST. If this is as good as their ROBOTRON game, I'll be stoked...

Organization: Seattle Online Public Access Unix (206) 328-4944
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 1992 18:32:25 GMT


Well I've had this Mega-CD for about a week.   My system is a Genesis with
jumpers cut, when I press RESET it turns back into a Genesis.   At power-on
it's a Megadrive.

-

Pressing RESET during any of these games causes a screen that says "NTSC game
for Japan only".   It has this effect on Thunderforce 4 as well.

THUNDER STORM FX (Cobra Command, Renovation 12/92)

I played the coin-op, in fact I'm a big LD game fan.     My brother finished
the arcade game and got to the last level (but never quite finished it).  He
was very upset when I took the Sega back (I lent him the system for a week
while he was recovering from having his wisdmo teeth removed, but I degress)
:)

Anyway Stereo (with Dolby Surround encoding) sound (CD quality obviously) and
full motion video throughout the game.   The palette is a little limited 
(64/512 colors instead of NTSC's 1.6 Million but since it's animated the effect
isn't as extreme as it might've been).   The game is *COMPLETE* which IS a 
first for LD-to-home.    If you liked the arcade game, this is for you.

Incidentally, since I have a Genedrive or a Megasis :) it had the ENGLISH title
"Cobra Command" already when I loaded it up.   On my friend's MEGADRIVE the
Japanese title came up.   TF4 was similar and said "LICENSED FOR PLAY ON 
THE SEGA GENESIS".   So translation time on these should be zero (except for
the lame-o manuals).

PRINCE OF PERSIA

I played the IBM version.    I think ULTIMATELY i like the IBM version better
mostly due to controls.   I play the IBM one with keyboard because you can be
VERY specific on where you want him to go.   On the joystick this precision
doesn't come without some very special effort.    The cinemas on the CD version
are OK I suppose but nothing special.  The music is ok.

HEAVY NOVA

The cart sucked and so does the CD>

ERNEST EVANS

What a *BAD* game, if you've thought about buying the US-release (cart) think
again.

SOL-FEACE

It's ok, but Thunderforce 4 is *MUCH* better.

I saw several new games out for most systems. These are some of the titles that
caught my eyes :
  - Cosmic Fantasy 3 (PC-Engine Super CD-ROM)
  - Exile 2 (PC-Engine Super CD-ROM) -> graphics are cool but I spent my money
					on the next title.
  - Dragon Quest V (Yes! 5! for the Super Famicom) -> costs me C$207

I have played DQV quite a bit so if anyone wants the review, I'll post it soon.

   Wow!  That brought back some memories.  There was this newstand
near my elementary school (I was in fourth grade then) that had
the game.  I used to go there after school with this girl everyday,
and we'd both play that game for the better part of a year.  

   I'm sorry I can't help you, but if you do learn anything, please post
it, as I'd be really curious to know!  

Thanks,

Does anyone know if game images saved under the Super Magicom are
compatible with the newer (renamed?) SuperCom?

In other words could you use a disk that was written to (or copied)
using the Magicom on the SuperCom?

Thanks
