Room 34 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 This is a good one... http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/su...ario_bros_h.txt I learned a lot from it. Ah, I just saw that you want graphical maps... I don't know about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Today is your LUCKY DAY. http://www.classicgaming.com/tmk/smb_breakdown.shtml The maps are almost halfway down in GIF format. That page explains everything, including how many of each enemy a level contains, why there are 8 Bowsers, how high to hit the flag pole for points...

Jasoco Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 excellent, now I just have to figure out how to print those map. they only show around 1/4 of the map.What do you mean? They're the whole map. You have to scroll. Print? Use a graphics program to break it up and put it on one page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Wow, that site is really impressive! I always wondered why there weren't more fan sites that did stuff like that. It's like a strategy guide for old games. One of these days, I'd love to see someone publish a book (or series of books) with stuff like this for games like Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man and so on... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raijin Z Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Apparently you never bought gaming magazines in the eighties. VGCE had all of Megaman 2 mapped out, back before it was possible to use video capturing and image editing software to do so. Every screen was photographed and pieced together. Looked like shit, but helped tremendously. Nintendo's Big Black Book had almost all of the first generation of Nintendo's NES games mapped out...

Jasoco Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I used to have an NES Players Guide that had a ton of games in it. Super Mario 1, 2, 3, Castlevania, Zelda 1, 2, Rescue Rangers and a ton more. But I wore it out and it disintegrated. It's gone now, but it was helpful. I also had a GameBoy version but only had like 1 or 2 games from that one. And when I got Nintendo Power, I had received the SMB3 Players Guide and also wore that out. Then I got another and tabbed it and used it religiously. Now it's lost. Hopefully not forever. It was still mostly together. It told EVERYTHING about the game. I used it to cheat at the card game. Won every item every time. Just had to notice the pattern and figure out which board you were playing. Then use the guide to turn over every correct card.

GrizzLee Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 it was also the first side-scrolling, run-and-jump platform game. I just read this on the site. I thought Pitfall! was the first. Maybe my definition is different than theirs -Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my definition is different than theirs -Lee Pitfall is not side-scrolling because it does not scroll. It does not count. The screen needs to move. It is still a platformer, but not a side-scroller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VGCE had all of Megaman 2 mapped out, back before it was possible to use video capturing and image editing software to do so. Well, I have quite a few Nintendo Power's that have some nicely done maps in them... as well as a 2-part SMB2 strategy guide that I'm very pleased with... but it would be really nice to have a big all-in-one NES strategy book for the most popular games. Pitfall is not side-scrolling because it does not scroll. Sure it does... it just does it in steps. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasoco Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 No. It is not a "Scroller". There is no scrolling. It's as much a Side Scroller as Adventure and Haunted House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 No. It is not a "Scroller". There is no scrolling. It's as much a Side Scroller as Adventure and Haunted House. You're right, Pitfall! is not a scroller... but your fervor is pushing you dangerously close to "fanboy" territory. Ah... the age-old rivalry. Pitfall!-loving Atari fanboys vs. SMB-loving Nintendo fanboys. I'm from the Atari generation. But I unflinchingly admit I consider Super Mario Bros. to be a much better game than Pitfall! That doesn't mean Pitfall! wasn't revolutionary... and it most certainly set the stage for SMB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Actually, I believe the first side-scrolling game on a home video game system was Grand Prix. That's not true scrolling! That's just moving the cars to make it look like it's scrolling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenshi Posted December 16, 2003 Share Posted December 16, 2003 I recently dug through my magazine collections for my old gaming magazines. Apparently I only have a few left, unless the others are hidden somewhere. I was subscribed to Game Player for almost 10 years, and I had a few Game Pro ones from the 80's as well. Anyone remember the comic strip with the boy that got trapped in the video games? Oh what I'd do to have all my old magazines again... Those were the days...
