PANIC BOMBER
Typo - "...you have to clear the stage within a time limit." <--unless 'tasts' is another English colloquialism.

PC COCORON

Typo - "There is a wide variety of weapons..."

PC GENJIN 2
Typo - "...PC Genjin 2 keeps the formula and makes a few tweaks..."

POPULOUS - THE PROMISED LANDS

Yay! But why do they always miss the word 'Software' out of the title

SPIRAL WAVE
Screenshots under Version Comparisons are missing.

STRIP FIGHTER II
Typo - "Wholesale (and unofficial) rip-off of Street Fighter II..." <-- I'm guessing that was your intention and not that wholesale means unofficial.

No but I regret not doing a 'pumpkin' Zonk for Halloween. Maybe next year...

Typo - "You either love it or hate it..."

Typo - "...and compare it to other games that were at during it's release..." <-- Er, say that again slowly and in English please.

.....

ULTRABOX NO. 6

Nazi NecroPhile · 12/09/2008, 05:42 PM

A few more:

THE PRO YAKYU SUPER '94
Page title is missing a space between '94 and the hyphen.

WAR OF THE DEAD
Typo - "Horror role-playing game with side-scrolling action battle sequences."

WIZARDRY V
Why not try...Dungeon Master link ist kaput.

WORLD HEROES 2
Typo - "Conversion of a Neo Geo beat 'em up." <-- For consistency with Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury 2.

spenoza · 12/09/2008, 06:05 PM

I thought "beat 'em up" was more for games like Streets of Rage and "fighter" or "fighting game" was for one-on-ones.

Hmm, not from where I come from, it's pretty interchangeable. I would usually use 'scrolling beat 'em up' to describe a Double Dragon style of game.

Nazi NecroPhile · 12/17/2008, 12:47 PM

Here's the (hopefully) last few:

DORAEMON
Typo - "DORAEMON - MEIKYU DAISAKUSEN" <--game title

YAWARA! 2
External Links - Yawara! Manga Summaries is in 404 land.

YOKOYAMA MITSUTERU SHIN SANGOKUSHI
Why not try...Sengoku Kanto Sangokushi link is broken.

YS I.II
Typo - "...feels far more compelling than the usual..."
Typo - "...far more worth than a few extra background tiles."

ZERO4 CHAMP
Index page link leads to outdated page.

ZIPANG

guyjin · 12/22/2008, 09:28 AM

I've been browsing a site not unlike yours for the last couple of days:

http://www.nesguide.com/

I really like how it's organized, mostly. Not that I'm asking you to change yours to match, but it's most nifty feature is that you can list/search games by title, year of release, publisher, or genre.

I realize that would be a lot of work, but could you try it? pweeeese?
