Title: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on October 19, 2019, 02:38:07 pm: The past few years have been slow, so I figured I'd throw in a topic of my requests, for what it's worth. These forums don't have a history of fulfilling requests, but I figured I'd at least get these out there, if someone's hankering to map.

There are already many requests here, and normally I'd prefer requests to be in their own topic, but as I run VGMaps, I feel I have some clout to say "I'd really like to see these mapped." Does that count for anything? It'd be nice if these maps will be on the site eventually, though there's no actual rush. Though I'd probably rush to get them up in my own excitement...

Some have been requested before, so I'm "seconding" those requests. There are obvious (popular) requests and obscure ones (I enjoyed but not well-known). Some may be partially mapped but appear abandoned. Some have technical challenges. But I think most of these are reasonable. I may update this at any time. Take them or leave them; they are what they are.

Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: TerraEsperZ on January 11, 2020, 08:41:46 pm: Hey JonLeung, it's been a while.

I don't want to make any promises on map projects because I tend to not follow through and especially since I just don't have that much available time anymore.

But I have a few projects from your list that are pretty far along and it's good to be reminded that there is interest in them. I tend to forget just how many unfinished project I have lying around...

The ones I'd like to commit myself to are the following:

Shantae (GBC): The whole overworld is 99% done but the labyrinths are only about 40% done. I'll see what I can do about it this year.
Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis): I'd really like to finish this, especially since I was on a roll for a while with almost 40% of the game mapped.

I've got a few other projects that might possibly be continued/done this year, but I won't even bother mentioning them otherwise it'll just be disappointing when I don't deliver.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: G.E.R. on January 13, 2020, 12:53:43 am: I looked at this list. There is no games familiar to me, but some projects is interested for me.
I can ripped Super Mario 64 (N64) with using Quad64 level editor. It can visualisate a full technical maps on one screen. As an example, map for Wing Cap area:
(http://ale-nov11.narod.ru/surgerabbit/Illust_130120_1.png)

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (GBC) including an unused levels.

Post by: FlyingArmor on January 22, 2020, 12:06:11 pm: I've been working on Dragon Warrior II on and off for the past year. I just have a few more dungeons to map out, then labeling can ensue.

Secret of Mana is also a game I've been thinking of working on for a long while. With all the hard work done thanks to Tropicon, arranging and labelling the maps should be a piece of cake.

And I see you're requesting the PC version of Ultima VI. :) Seeing that it will be 30 years old this year on June 1st, it would be a fitting time to have it all mapped out by then. Though listing out every item that can be picked up is going to be madness... I'll try mapping out a small area, like Cove, and see how crazy it gets! :D
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on January 31, 2020, 09:58:20 pm: Thanks, FlyingArmor!

Finishing off Dragon Warrior: Part 2 (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#DragonWarriorPart2) completes the Dragon Warrior NES quadrilogy!

I'm not sure how to deal with fulfilled requests from the list, but for now I'll just strike it through with a thanks, and keep that up for at least a little bit instead of unceremoniously removing it immediately...
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on March 07, 2020, 09:50:27 am: Hadoken! Thanks to George s, arcade fan, who has mapped the classic Street Fighter II: The World Warrior (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade/index.htm#StreetFighterIIWorldWarrior) (Arcade). As you can see, I've also updated the background of that page to Suzaku Castle, Ryu's arena.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on April 25, 2020, 02:12:32 am: Will Mallia has mapped the classic The Island Of Dr. Brain (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/index.htm#IslandOfDrBrain) (PC). I don't know if it is as much of a classic as Castle Of Dr. Brain (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/index.htm#CastleOfDrBrain) (which he also mapped the day before), but I believe I played the sequel first, back in the day, and replayed it more. Good times! I actually played it again recently (like within the past year) and on the hardest setting, but the copy I got is messed up at literally the final puzzle and therefore unfinishable...
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: TerraEsperZ on April 25, 2020, 10:13:53 am: Okay so I hope I'm not promising in vain but I think there's a good chance I might eventually check another request on that list *eventually*...

I don't want to bog down this thread with a ton of unnecessary details (I *do* tend to rant a lot) but I've been working on mapping Equinox (SNES) for the past few weeks. Long story short, this game finally forced me out of my comfort zone and I started using the BizHawk emulator which has made mapping this game possible. I've found a way to render the Mode 7 overworld in an isometric perspective with pixel-perfect accuracy (better than the actual game) and adding sprites over it as I go. I only have one dungeon done, but a lot of the time was spent experimenting with presentation so the rest *should* go faster and smoother but with me, you never know...

So yeah, I'm looking forward to sharing my progress in a dedicated thread :).
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on April 30, 2020, 02:05:37 pm: Thanks, to G.E.R. we now have maps of Kirby: Squeak Squad (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#KirbySqueakSquad). It's not the only DS Kirby game that G.E.R. has recently mapped, because I forgot to mention that we also have Kirby: Super Star Ultra (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#KirbySuperStarUltra), and upgraded version of the Super NES game (of the same name minus the "Ultra") (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#KirbySuperStar).

TerraEsperZ, I am very much looking forward to any Equinox maps you can do...

Today I edited the first post to have the release dates for the PC games to be clear about which ones I'm requesting. Noticing that there aren't currently any games I'm requesting from the first decade of the 2000s (reminds me about what I was saying about point and click games in that same time period (https://youtu.be/fxMXr3MSAuI?t=392)), and that the games in the 2010s are retro-style games that resemble late '80s or '90s games.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on June 03, 2020, 03:18:33 pm: G.E.R. has submitted the complete (I think) map for Light Crusader (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#LightCrusader)! Yay!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on July 22, 2020, 10:56:59 pm: Cleeem has submitted the maps of Equinox (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#Equinox)! It joins TerraEsperZ's world map from the other day, and that's another game checked off. Yay! Great work!

Post by: JonLeung on October 01, 2020, 09:01:13 pm: How is it October already? Thinking about Halloween gave me the idea to add some creepy games to this list, especially in the PC section, like the iconic games The 7th Guest, Alone In The Dark, and Phantasmagoria.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on November 14, 2020, 01:51:32 pm: Since near to the start of VGMaps.com's origin, or maybe 2006, only one original map for Zelda's Adventure made up the entirety of our CD-i Atlas.

But finally, yesterday, thanks to Jackster's submission of ripped maps from Link: The Faces Of Evil (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/CD-i/index.htm#LinkFacesOfEvil) that atlas isn't quite as sparse anymore. And that page now has a nice new background, too!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: TerraEsperZ on November 14, 2020, 03:19:53 pm: I'm super happy someone finally mapped one of the first two CD-i Zelda games.

Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: Jackster on November 14, 2020, 05:11:59 pm: I was super happy to actually beat one of the CD-i Zelda games TBH (unlike my first attempt many years ago when I use to own an actual CD-i myself). But yeah, I do plan on making more maps for the CD-i when I get the chance, but first I need to finish up Shining Wisdom.

That's true. On one hand, the games are maligned for their weird animated sequences, combined with them being for the unpopular and otherwise almost entirely unknown CD-i (especially in contrast to the very mainstream and very popular PlayStation of which its origins are linked) and the bizarreness that Nintendo would lend out the rights of their otherwise incredibly-polished and popular AAA franchises ever, not for one, but MULTIPLE games. The lack of availability of an actual CD-i adds even more intrigue to this, as does Nintendo's pretending that this never happened, so most people only know it for what makes it weird. (Sort of like the Star Wars Holiday Special, which is infamously bad, even joked as such by many people even if they haven't experienced it, though it does have its place in canon, and a LEGO "sequel" that comes out today on Disney+.)

But on the other hand, the face value of the maps themselves are that they are actually quite cool. Imagine, these were done by an artist or artists who are no longer limited to building worlds out of tiles. While you can tell there is still a need to create traversable landscapes, they went wild with the colours and shapes (compared to the "blocky" nature of tile-based graphics). At this point, pre-Ocarina Of Time, there were only a handful of Zelda games to reference, plus their art, and likely some inspiration from The Legend Of Zelda cartoon segment on the Friday episodes of the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. Considering that, I don't think they did bad at all. I guess now we're used to Zelda games being all over the place with their style, so this actually isn't too weird, really. I like them! Still have to really play them (sheesh, what kind of Zelda fan am I?), but I can at least say, and with Jackster's maps more confidently so, that this at least looks good!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on November 24, 2020, 09:13:35 pm: Jackster's submission of ripped maps from Zelda's Adventure (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/CD-i/index.htm#ZeldasAdventure) is exciting. As a Zelda fan, I'll have to play this game one day.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: Jackster on November 24, 2020, 11:26:21 pm: Thanks! Let me tell you all that that Tolemac map took FOREVER to save. The original PSD file was almost 160 MB big and would take 10-20 seconds to save it every time. There were even times when my computer monitor will black out while it's in the middle of saving. It was kind of frightening and frustrating.

To think this was all in the span of only two weeks, as a fortnight ago we first got Link: The Faces Of Evil (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/CD-i/index.htm#LinkFacesOfEvil) maps, but now have the unmarked maps of that as well.

Thanks so much, Jackster!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on December 04, 2020, 07:54:58 am: Relatively new contributor Jackster can do more than just CD-i games, and submitted maps from Kirby: Nightmare In Dream Land (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#KirbyNightmareInDreamLand) (GBA), the remake of the NES game, Kirby's Adventure.

There are a few Kirby games still not mapped, so I'm glad that Jackster's Map Projects topic (https://www.vgmaps.com/forums/index.php?topic=3578.0) shows that he plans to do three more!

Quote from: JonLeung on February 11, 2020, 10:53:01 am
If you haven't played Kirby: Super Star before, you should! It's one of the better Kirby games, if not the best (though the DS remake, Kirby: Super Star Ultra, has even more stuff).
The game is really interesting, I like it.

So, what is games is need to rip now? May be it need to some Kirby's game, or Sega Genesis Mini games?
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on January 14, 2021, 12:27:07 am: Jackster has done it again - another Kirby GBA game under his belt - this time, it's Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#KirbyTheAmazingMirror) (GBA). I love Metroidvanias!

George s loves arcade games and has finished Dragon Buster (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade/index.htm#DraginBuster) (Arcade). I hear it repeats some rounds after Round 12.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on January 26, 2021, 11:49:49 pm: Jackster has completed a non-Kirby game... though it's cute and colourful all the same. (Hey, that rhymes!) We now have SmartBall (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#SmartBall) (Super NES).

Funny thing is, as I was copying the Skyblazer (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#Skyblazer) table nearby to make the SmartBall one, coincidentally it turned out to be the same developer - Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc.!

Post by: JonLeung on February 06, 2021, 04:57:41 pm: Jackster knocks out another Kirby game, one that I'm surprised we didn't have any maps for until now, Kirby's Dream Land 3 (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#KirbysDreamLand3) (Super NES)! Love the tips for getting each of the Heart Stars! 5-2 features Samus Aran and the Metroids from the Metroid series, and there are other cameos like the Japanese characters Donbe and Hikari. Thanks for doing this so thoroughly!

zagato blackfist took out my only three ColecoVision requests (as of now, or rather, just now, since they're now complete)... Donkey Kong (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/ColecoVision/index.htm#DonkeyKong) (our family's first video game!), Front Line (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/ColecoVision/index.htm#FrontLine) and Jumpman Junior (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/ColecoVision/index.htm#JumpmanJunior), two of my brother's favourites on this classic console.

It has since spawned several sequels, but for a while it really felt like a one-off cult classic. Limited Run Games has recently rereleased this as an actual playable GBC cartridge, so at least a few more people might be experiencing this (unless they are just collectors that buy things just to never open them). In any case, thanks, Cleeem!

Confession: I don't think I've ever finished this legitimately, I'm always tempted to say "spam" x3 and "humbug" to Iolo...

Coincidentally, Pac-Man 99 was just announced the other day and released yesterday for the Switch. At 2:01 in the trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ2c-6CJ-tM&t=121s), you can see there is even a The Tower Of Druaga theme for it!

Okay, I didn't request Baby Pac-Man specifically, but sure, I'm not going to say no to more of the Pac-Family!

Thanks yet again, George s!

Post by: JonLeung on May 15, 2021, 01:06:49 pm: George s fulfills some more classic arcade requests, including Frogger (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade/index.htm#Frogger), Q*bert (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade/index.htm#Qbert), and the original Pac-Man (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade/index.htm#PacMan), which we didn't have until now, believe it or not! Yes, the original arcade version! Isn't it, like, one of the most iconic video games ever? Also, though I didn't specifically request it, he also mapped Pac & Pal (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade/index.htm#PacPal) for good measure, because why not get some more "Pac" games packed away? Thanks as always, George s!

(I'll be publishing a review of "Coin-Op: The Arcade Guide" on my YouTube channel, most likely later today. One of my concerns is the lack of coverage of classic games such as Pac-Man, Frogger, and Q*bert. Then I realized how bad it looks saying that but not having maps of those games here on VGMaps.com...)
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: Grizzly on May 16, 2021, 01:39:11 am: While most Pac-Man stages look identically to the mapped stage 1, it also has the infamous final level 256 (https://pacman.fandom.com/wiki/Map_256_Glitch) which looks half different. If it needs an extra map though is debatable because it is unbeatable, even with a map. :)
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on May 17, 2021, 08:59:27 am: I would certainly accept a map of that. Perhaps there could be a raw one and one that highlights the areas that Pac-Man can actually traverse.

Is the proper name "Maze 256" or "Level 256" or "Round 256" or "Stage 256"? I always like to use the in-game terminology, but if there isn't any, I would prefer to use something more accurate, like "Maze" in this particular case. I would also use "Level" if that is indeed the accepted term for something like this that I imagine must be talked about a lot, I just usually avoid "Level" unless it is explicitly said somewhere within the game, as I feel the word is overused.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on February 18, 2022, 10:38:31 pm: G.E.R. has been on a NES/Famicom mapping craze lately, and has fulfilled an odd request of mine, maps for Armadillo (J) (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#Armadillo)!

Though I'm not usually a huge fan of pirate/bootleg/unlicensed games, I have (sort of) fond memories of being lent a Famicom game that claimed to be Super Mario Bros. IV, which didn't seem right. Playing it was definitely different than what I would expect from a Mario game. Mario rolls up into a ball? What is this? And actually, I didn't know for a while. Only in recent years did I learn that the game was a bootleg hack of a game called "Armadillo", which would explain the rolling-up mechanic. I'm glad to say that we now have maps of the real game, though I'm not sure how many people know of or would appreciate this the same way as I do. Thanks again, G.E.R.!

Post by: JonLeung on March 28, 2022, 11:15:53 am: Thanks so much to Sonic fan and mapper G.E.R., we've now got maps for Knuckles The Echidna In Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#KnucklesTheEchidnaInSonicTheHedgehog2), sometimes known as "Sonic & Knuckles (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#SonicKnuckles) + Sonic The Hedgehog 2 (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#SonicTheHedgehog2)", due to it being those cartridges linked together with the former's "Lock-On Technology".

Who doesn't want some Knuckles in their Sonic The Hedgehog 2, am I right?

Post by: JonLeung on May 04, 2022, 09:57:26 am: Thanks to Jackster, we now have fully-marked maps of The Great Cave Offensive chapter of Kirby: Super Star (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#KirbySuperStar)!

Nothing wrong with Tropicon's maps which are usually unmarked, but in this case, I felt it was really important to have the treasures marked in that. This awesome late-era Super NES Kirby game is now truly complete! :D

Post by: JonLeung on May 12, 2022, 06:07:09 pm: Thanks to zagato blackfist, we now have 1:1 scale maps of Crystalis (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#Crystalis) for the NES! Really surprising we haven't gotten a full map set at the correct scale earlier...

Not long ago, zagato also mapped out Crystalis (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GB-GBC/index.htm#Crystalis) for the Game Boy Color, so we can compare them and see the differences! I heard the music is different (well, you can't tell that here)...
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on May 19, 2022, 08:14:04 pm: zagato blackfist comes through with a double dose of Turtle Power, as of this evening, we now have complete map sets for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesHyperstoneHeist) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters), both for the Genesis! Cowabunga! And thanks again!

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters games are completely different between the NES (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters), Super NES (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters), and Genesis (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTournamentFighters) versions, so it's nice to now have all three to compare.

I wonder if anyone will ever consider mapping Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Missions (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/index.htm#TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesManhattanMissions), a 1991 game for DOS? It's a rather clunky game, I know...
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on June 07, 2022, 08:48:13 pm: Thanks to Jackster, we now have maps of Plok! (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#Plok) I remember renting this a couple of times back in the day. Rarely played much farther than the Bobbin Bros. rematch - or since it was the past, the prematch? I do remember those annoying Penkinos, though. I don't think I ever finished it for real... but now we can all at least enjoy seeing every stage!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: Jackster on June 09, 2022, 04:51:54 pm: I remember first hearing about Plok when it was advertised through Burger King Kids Club. I definitely remember this comic page that was in the Kids Club Adventures magazine (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CtCpdinWYAE-wJD.jpg?format=jpg&name=orig). Unfortunately, I never played it (that is until now).

One fun fact I found out when researching this game, is that the original creators of the game, John and Ste Pickford, now own the IP to the game as well as the Plok characters and has since created an ongoing webcomic based off of it (http://www.zee-3.com/plok/index.php?comic=721), drawn by Ste Pickford himself.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on June 28, 2022, 06:18:29 pm: A good day for some requests being fulfilled!

Thanks to zagato blackfist, we have maps of Dashin' Desperadoes (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#DashinDesperadoes) which Hugbot originally requested, but which I seconded because it seemed interesting to me since I hadn't played that game until I heard about it just then. Those are some long maps!

Thanks to G.E.R., continuing his DS conquest, we now have maps of the DS Castlevania games, which include Castlevania: Dawn Of Sorrow (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#CastlevaniaDawnOfSorrow), Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin), and Castlevania: Order Of Ecclesia (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia). There probably aren't many 2D Castlevania games left... are there?

Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on July 08, 2022, 10:42:27 pm: Fresh off of mapping the three Castlevania DS games, G.E.R. continues with another three games in a long-running franchise, again on a Nintendo handheld, this time contributing maps for Final Fantasy IV Advance (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#FinalFantasyIVAdvance), Final Fantasy V Advance (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#FinalFantasyVAdvance), and Final Fantasy VI Advance (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#FinalFantasyVIAdvance) on the GBA.

Have you played these refurbished classics? You may have played them on the Super NES/Super Famicom, but these versions have extra areas and bosses, and other tweaks like better translations. Plus, portability! (I know there have since been mobile versions and the "Pixel Remaster" versions, but the characters are redrawn and seem... off.) Final Fantasy VI Advance might be my favourite Final Fantasy game of all.

Thanks again, G.E.R. There probably aren't many 2D Final Fantasy games left to map, are there?

Post by: JonLeung on July 20, 2022, 10:21:09 pm: G.E.R. continues the DS streak with the Mario & Luigi games. Today, I only had time to put up the maps for Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#MarioLuigiPartnersInTime). Bowser's Inside Story was also submitted, but I'll have to put that up tomorrow or soon after. Ironic that I ran out of time...

I remember playing this, but it was quite a while ago. I do remember some amusing time hijinks, like Bowser in the past teaming up with Baby Bowser (his younger self), not knowing that they are the same person, and then even as they are defeated, Baby Bowser is inspired and vows to be as strong as Bowser... a bootstrapping paradox whereby it seems Baby Bowser is strong because he sees that his future self is strong... Time shenanigans are always fun.

When they remade the first and third Mario & Luigi games for the 3DS, I wonder why they skipped over Partners In Time?
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests

Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on August 23, 2022, 01:16:46 pm: I wonder if I should sort out my requests somehow, LOL. I want maps of EVERYTHING that is popular or cool. Some of my requests are purely nostalgic for me personally, while some of them are popular games where I think "why haven't they been mapped by now?", etc.

Return To Monkey Island (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAxxj_moz18) just got a release date of September 19 (less than four weeks from today!) and I was just talking in the VGMaps discord server about how surprising it is that we don't have full maps of ANY Monkey Island game. Those are definitely high on a "why haven't they been mapped by now?" list.

No. I had to look this up, since I wasn't a Sonic fan at the peak of his success, to be able to say offhand.

Taking a quick look at this list I found:
https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Sonic_games#2D_Platformer (https://sega.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Sonic_games#2D_Platformer)

...I immediately noticed Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble and Sonic Labyrinth, which I already know that we don't have here on VGMaps.com. Those games are both on Game Gear (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GameGear/index.htm#S). Might have to scour that list if you want a definitive answer of what else we might still be missing.

We all know this game is infamous. But at least it's done! Perhaps there is hope that every official NES game can be mapped after all, if this one is. That's a commentary on the game itself, not of FlyingArmor's map, which is perfect as usual.

Speaking of the NES atlas, I haven't updated my spreadsheet that tracks the completeness of the American released titles since February 2020. There's probably been a number of NES games that've been submitted since then, so I'll be sure to find some time to update the numbers. ;)

My count of official North American NES games featured on VGMaps.com is 322 games. I didn't check the completeness, just counted the title images. So hopefully I don't have a title screen here for some reason that I don't currently have maps for. That number could be 323 if you count Conquest Of The Crystal Palace, which is listed here by its Japanese name, Matendouji (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#Matendouji), which GameFAQs lists as "Maten Douji" and now I'm wondering why the submitter's name is different than the name on the maps, and if I should just list it as "Conquest Of The Crystal Palace" if the maps are the same...

The official count of North American NES cartridges is 677 games, but a few of those are compilations. Still, we're close to halfway to getting at least one thing from each game (released in North America).

Then I've also counted:
9 PAL region games,
98 Japanese games, and
49 Unlicensed/bootleg/cancelled/unreleased games.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: FlyingArmor on March 20, 2023, 05:08:14 pm: Hmm... my spreadsheet gives me 319 games, so I probably missed a few when updating it. I'll go through it again when I have some time to spare.

But with what I have at the moment, the current total percentage coverage is 47.47% right now, and that's including both complete (44.79%) and incomplete (2.68%) map sets. So it looks like it went up from 41.69% in February 2019 by 5.78%. We're slowly getting there! ;D

Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: FlyingArmor on March 20, 2023, 07:47:41 pm: Thanks Jon! I managed to find the ones I was missing: Punch-Out!!, Robocop, and RoboWarrior. Now the total comes to 47.92%.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on March 21, 2023, 01:46:23 pm: You're welcome! :)

As mentioned in the email, I'm surprised I don't have more NES RPGs listed. Unless you count stuff like Majou Densetsu II: Daimashikyou Galious (J) on the Famicom. But I guess it's not surprising if all the popular ones are done already.

I was thinking about adding Ultima (V): Warriors Of Destiny, but I don't think I personally want that as much as anything else listed. You've heard me say so many times that I LOVE Ultima VI: The False Prophet, but I have had trouble getting into any of the earlier games, to be honest, and I'm generally not sure about the console conversions. So Ultima (III): Exodus and Ultima (V): Warriors Of Destiny on the NES don't pique my interest much. But Ultima (IV): Quest Of The Avatar, which you have already mapped, actually looks like it's meant to be a NES RPG, and so it's one of those games that I've been curious about, that maybe I should get to it one of these days.

I'm sure I can think of more stuff on the NES that I'm surprised we don't yet have, since we're not even halfway there (though we are close). There are a lot of generic/unmemorable games (as is the case of most platforms, especially if they're really popular), so I don't know if we will ever get enough interest to map absolutely everything - unless people are dedicated enough to make that an actual goal. Are you saying you'd like to lead that effort, FlyingArmor? It would certainly be neat to have all the games mapped for one platform, and the NES is popular enough to be a good one to put effort behind!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: FlyingArmor on March 22, 2023, 04:24:57 pm: The NES version of Ultima V is so incredibly lackluster that it's more or less not worth looking at; the computer versions are far superior in pretty much every way. Though saying that, I do wanna try my hand at mapping it anyway, along with Ultima: Exodus, and maybe even the SNES port of The Black Gate while we're at it, haha.

Yeah, Ultima IV on the NES plays very much like a JRPG, and as I was playing through it to at least get to one of the dungeons, I noticed a lot of changes from the computer versions that I liked quite a bit. It streamlines a lot of stuff, like not having to mix reagents before casting spells, not having to worry about food, etc. One aspect I really liked was being able to equip both melee and long range weapons at the same time, so no need unready and ready them in the middle of combat if there's need for that. But compared to the PC version, some things were stripped out. While I only have mapped one dungeon so far, the magic fields, and a number of dungeon rooms were removed. It at least made mapping it easier.

While I won't promise anything, I'll at least tackle whatever catches my fancy, like the aforementioned Ultima games. :D
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on March 29, 2023, 10:40:22 am: Alwa's Awakening, a NES-like Metroidvania which has been on my request list, is on GOG's giveaway (https://www.gog.com/#giveaway) today. I think it's for everyone that uses GOG, but it's worth looking into. Probably should have GOG Galaxy installed if you are a PC gamer anyway... I earlier bought this on Steam, so I guess I now have two copies...

And also available on Steam, and on sale right now on GOG, is another version, "Alwa's Awakening: The 8-Bit Edition". This version is literally provided as an NES ROM, playable in an NES emulator, or a flash cart to play on an actual NES. The original game is very NES-like to begin with, so the NES ROM is very faithful. It's made to fit in the NES's resolution, so it's downsized in that sense, but then there's also additional content, including new areas and new music. I'm not hugely into aftermarket NES games, but here, that seems like a good fit and a neat option. Now I wonder if I should also request maps for the NES version because of the new content, but that's just strange to me because I don't think I've ever requested anything unlicensed/homebrew/aftermarket before, in preference for "official" games. And I guess depending on how people map, like if they are good at extracting assets from the NES ROM, then maybe the NES one will be easier to map?

Post by: JonLeung on July 23, 2023, 02:25:22 pm: A couple of HUGE maps for DS games just went up...

A 160 MB JPEG image showing all of Johto as seen in Pokémon: HeartGold Version (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#PokemonHeartGoldVersion) and Pokémon: SoulSilver Version (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#PokemonSoulSilverVersion), the DS remakes of second-gen main Pokémon games from the Game Boy Color, and
a 154 MB JPEG image showing all of Sinnoh as seen in Pokémon: Diamond Version (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#PokemonDiamondVersion) and Pokémon: Pearl Version (http://vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/index.htm#PokemonPearlVersion), the DS games of fourth-gen Pokémon.

I've always felt that we need more Pokémon games mapped, and it's good to see that the slight foray into three dimensions with the DS entries isn't an unsurmountable obstacle keeping these from being mapped. So thanks for these, G.E.R.!

Post by: G.E.R. on July 30, 2023, 06:33:11 am: I check it and compared two games on a level editor. There aren't fundamental differences between Platinum and Pearl versions, I found only textures differences:

Gray or brown sidewalk
(http://ale-nov11.narod.ru/Host/Image_1_300723.png)

Blue or violet jetty
(http://ale-nov11.narod.ru/Host/Image_2_300723.png)

Gray or light-yellow road
(http://ale-nov11.narod.ru/Host/Image_3_300723.png)

Buildings design
(http://ale-nov11.narod.ru/Host/Image_4_300723.png)
(http://ale-nov11.narod.ru/Host/Image_5_300723.png)

If you will play the Platinum version you can use the Pearl map.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on July 30, 2023, 08:34:21 am: Well, true, but for people who look at these maps because they want to see the actual graphics... then I would consider Platinum to be worth its own entry.

It's the same reason that I put Pokémon: Emerald Version (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#PokemonEmeraldVersion) as a separate entry apart from the Pokémon: Ruby & Sapphire Versions (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#PokemonRubyVersion). I think anyone playing Platinum would know they can look at Diamond/Pearl maps for navigation purposes, but if I list Platinum with them, that could be confusing for people that want the Platinum graphics.

Post by: JonLeung on August 01, 2023, 01:49:46 pm: G.E.R. has submitted full map sets for various Genesis games in the past few days, including my request for Gunstar Heroes (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#GunstarHeroes)!

This cult classic is also on the Genesis Mini, so, while it is of course awesome to finally see mapped in any case, it's nice to also be able to have that checked off there too. Thanks yet again, G.E.R.!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on August 08, 2023, 03:48:35 pm: On the heels of mapping out one-quarter of the Genesis Mini (https://www.vgmaps.com/forums/index.php?topic=2461.0) all on his own within eight days, G.E.R. has submitted maps for Blaster Master 2 (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#BlasterMaster2)!

The original on the NES is one of the games I grew up with, and so I love it a lot. The sequel is definitely different, and at least we now have the maps to easily see how stylistically different it is. This time around, all stages (except for the last) have a top-down view for the vehicle (as opposed to the top-down view for the on-foot exploration sections in the original) and they are kind of maze-like. These maps will certainly come in handy. Thanks yet again, G.E.R.!

Boy, there's not much left for my personal Genesis requests at the moment... just one game, really... unless/until I think of more... :P
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on August 15, 2023, 11:33:07 am: One of the weird requests here, for the Famicom game Booby Kids (J) (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#BoobyKids), has been fulfilled by zagato blackfist!

I have memories of playing this on my NES, even though I don't remember how. Did I borrow a multicart from someone? Why don't I remember who? But what I do also remember is that music from this game is also used in some bootleg multicart menus for some reason. I guess it's catchy! And yes, while the name "Booby Kids" is unfortunate, it likely refers to the "booby traps" as the game involves trapping bad guys in holes that you dig, and the Japanese didn't think of it any other way. It actually has another name for the arcade version, "Kid no Hore Hore Daisakusen" or "Kid's HoreHore Daisakusen", which to an English speaker, is actually worse...

Regardless of its name and what we think about it, we can thank zagato blackfist for getting it checked off. So thanks again, zagato!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on September 03, 2023, 05:30:02 pm: zagato blackfist has sent in the maps of Milon's Secret Castle (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#MilonsSecretCastle).

I remember renting this game, and I don't remember if my friends had it, but I know I somehow played it more than once. Not sure if I would have rented it a second time because I never could figure out how to get anywhere beyond the first floor. (Or maybe its difficulty and vagueness really imprinted in my memory...) Maybe with these maps I can try again one day! Thanks, zagato blackfist!

There's also a sequel on the Super Famicom known as Do-Re-Mi Fantasy: Milon no DokiDoki Daibouken (J) (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperNES/index.htm#DoReMiFantasyMilonnoDokiDokiDaibouken). It definitely looks more colourful and is probably not as vague as the original. We only have the world maps by Tropicon. It would be nice to see that game fully mapped one day, too!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: TerraEsperZ on September 04, 2023, 03:36:52 pm: Milon's Secret Castle was also one of the game I once rented as a kid. It was such an unintuitive and frustrating game because it was so unlike the kind of NES games I used to play at the time, mostly those made by Nintendo, Konami and Capcom.

I think I made it past the first boss before getting stuck down the well without a lamp and just couldn't figure out how to progress further before bringing the cartridge back to the rental store. It's nice to finally see what else I've missed thanks to zagato blackfist but it's unfortunately not enough to make me want to play it all the way through!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: dark_lord_zagato@yahoo.co on September 04, 2023, 10:34:46 pm: I had the same problem back then. I rented it when I was maybe 6 years old and rage quit before I made it to the second floor. You have no i-frames and the enemies can juggle you so I kept getting killed in seconds.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on October 07, 2023, 04:52:42 pm: qwert_vs_qwerty has submitted a few things today (they aren't all up yet), and one of those things is a map set for Sigma Star Saga (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#SigmaStarSaga)!

How often do you see a top-down adventure game with RPG-like "random encounters" for spaceship shooting? It's certainly an interesting mashup that I don't think I've seen anywhere else, so it makes it a unique game that is nice to now have mapped. Thanks, qwert_vs_qwerty!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on November 24, 2023, 09:07:04 am: John Brain, who has mapped many Genesis games, has submitted a full map set for The Revenge Of Shinobi (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#RevengeOfShinobi)!

I didn't have a Sega Genesis growing up, but a few friends did, and as this seemed to be a common game in their collections, so I'd quickly understood this to be a Genesis classic! So it's surprising that it's taken this long to be mapped, but now it's finally immortalized in map form, so all is well! Thanks yet again, John Brain!

As of now, my Genesis requests are almost totally fulfilled. All I have left is Treasure's intriguing McDonald's Treasureland Adventure (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/Genesis/index.htm#McDonaldsTreasurelandAdventure)... I'm sure if I took the time to look over the Genesis library, I might be able to find more, but at the moment, for what it's worth, I'd really like to see this licensed McDonald's game - from the makers of Gunstar Heroes, no less - to be fully mapped, so maybe leaving that as the only one of Genesis requests will make that more likely to be fulfilled sooner...

I just played this game, and I think it's quite interesting with all its secrets and collectibles. I can do this, if no one else is started already.

That also does it for my personal Genesis requests at this time. Wow!

That's not to say there aren't more Genesis games worth mapping, of course. I didn't have a Genesis growing up, so there's a lot of stuff I'm not familiar with and not particularly nostalgic for, but I'm sure there's more I would appreciate once I see it. And, obviously, this whole site's not about me. (Just this topic...) ;) I ALWAYS want more maps from any game on any platform, I just don't know what else I would specifically want to see in particular from the Genesis/Mega Drive at this time. I do love that era, though, so anything's good.

Thanks again for your ongoing hard work, particularly on the Genesis front, John Brain! I look forward to what else you may have in store!

I originally requested the Super NES one, but the Genesis one is apparently pretty much identical. But only released in Australia for some reason... (where Christmas is in the summertime. Hmmm.)

There really aren't many Christmas games, especially on consoles, so this is a nice one to have mapped. Thanks again for supporting that Genesis page, John Brain!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on February 16, 2024, 10:12:28 pm: zagato blackfist, no stranger to NES mapping, submitted maps for Cowboy Kid (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#CowboyKid) today!

Though many of my requests include popular games that I'm surprised haven't been mapped yet after all this time, some games are on the list BECAUSE they're obscure, like this one. Cowboy Kid is a rare NES game that plays somewhat like The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja / Ganbare Goemon games. Though while those games are very Japanese, Cowboy Kid is very Western... the Japanese title is literally "Western Kids". Like the Goemon games, there sure are a lot of buildings you can enter... zagato's maps will help with that. Anyway, I'm glad that a rare game gets some maps, it means that more people can see and experience this game!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on February 24, 2024, 04:02:58 pm: zagato blackfist has awesomely fulfilled a long-standing request of mine, maps for the totally rad NES game, Totally Rad (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#TotallyRad)!

Also as requested, the cutscenes with all the dialogue are included, because it's way cool slang that is essential to its whole vibe. No mention of Totally Rad can go without referring to its bodacious text! No duh, am I right? But colour-coding the text is a really dope choice I hadn't thought of; wicked!

The game came out in 1991, and I made maps for it in 2005 before giving up on it. That's 14 years. I'd said a few times that I probably wouldn't get around to it, but that it would still be nice to see it mapped. Then, 19 years after that, it finally has! Still surprised it took so long (as the game is totally decent), but in any case, it's all done now! Gnarly! Tubular! Awesome! Way Cool! ...And other such '80s/'90s surfer/valley girl slang.

Thanks yet again for fulfilling a request, zagato!
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: JonLeung on March 26, 2024, 11:34:01 am: zagato blackfist keeps the NES request fulfillment train going with two LJN NES horror games based on slasher films: Friday The 13th (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#FridayThe13th) and A Nightmare On Elm Street (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#NightmareOnElmStreet)!

I maintain that Friday The 13th is not as bad of a game as so many people make it out to be. I don't know why I like the repetitive music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoLTzC48x9I&t=13080s) to it. That same track is also heard at 0:24 in one of my favourite videos of Felicia Day, "The 8-Bit Haunted Dance Party" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irBD30O-FmM&t=24s).
The "Happily Ever After" NES game that was never finished and released has some Friday The 13th music too, as heard here at 5:44 in this video playthrough of that prototype (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMrqIUOn9mc&t=344s).

A Nightmare On Elm Street is notable for being the only NES platformer with four-player support. (Most other four-player NES games are sports, other than Bomberman II, Gauntlet II, and Swords & Serpents, I guess. It's still in rare company. Speaking of which, it is by Rare Ltd.)

For an upcoming project, I wanted to get all the LJN NES "black box" games, and potentially for a later project, these two games specifically. So I ordered these two NES cartridges on eBay recently, along with a few other LJN games that I didn't already have. It'd be a neat coincidence if they arrive today, too!
(https://vgmaps.com/forums/images/LJN.png)

EDIT: I just NOW got today's mail, and I received the NES cartridges of Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street! What a fluke that I would get the games themselves AND the maps on the same day! No word of a lie!
(I also got T&C Surf Designs and The Uncanny X-Men, which isn't a coincidence, other than that I have an X-Men/'97 opening comparison YouTube Short that's doing extremely well this week (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NWu_sPSkIRU)...) I'd say getting these games on the same day as getting the maps is an even bigger coincidence than the time I bought the "Left Bros." variant of Super Mario Bros. 3 before I realized that the seller I was buying it from is "Two Brothers Games", LOL. If only I got these games/maps on an actual Friday the 13th from someone who lives on Elm Street, but that'd really be too freaky...
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: dark_lord_zagato@yahoo.co on March 26, 2024, 06:56:23 pm: That is one spooky coincidence. Even if I had known that you were buying these games I never would have guessed the exact day they would show up in the mail.
Title: Re: JonLeung's Requests
Post by: TerraEsperZ on March 27, 2024, 04:41:16 pm: Even weirder coincidence: I've been slowly making my way through Hardcore Gaming 101's Top 47k Games of All Time podcast over the last three years and just yesterday, I listened to their episode on Nightmare on Elm Street for the NES.

I remember starting to map Friday the 13th in 2009, thinking I was clever in handling the "parallax" background by doubling the lenght of every segment. I remember giving up after starting the cave because I really wasn't a fan of game in the end. My goal would have been to try and make a unified map covering the whole game but the way the game is structured, what with featuring several concentric circles, would have made the whole thing quite inelegant.

Anyway, great work as always zagato blackfist, finally providing maps to so many overlooked "classics"!

Post by: JonLeung on April 26, 2024, 02:28:44 pm: zagato blackfist comes through with yet another of my NES requests, this time for Culture Brain's Flying Warriors (https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#FlyingWarriors)!

Culture Brain had some interesting marketing back in the day, like some text-heavy magazine spreads, and I remember this game having a 16-page comic (https://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/u8qtfc/flying_warriors_nes_comic_chapter_one_from/?rdt=64086) in the first video game magazine I ever had, the December 1990 issue of GamePro (a month before I started subscribing to Nintendo Power).

Despite my fondness for this, I don't think I've ever actually finished the game - perhaps zagato blackfist's maps will be of help if I try again. Personal interest aside, Culture Brain's stuff is underappreciated, so it's nice to have another game of theirs mapped.

Thanks again, zagato!

EDIT: Some more "Flying Warriors" trivia of sorts. When I made my "One Minute of Music from EVERY NES Game" video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoLTzC48x9I&t=12840s), it initially got four copyright claims at the start. They were all eventually dropped, but then I got one more... for the Flying Warriors tune that is heard at 3:34:00 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoLTzC48x9I&t=12840s). Interesting that of all the NES tunes, that would be the only one that is an issue. It has no dire consequences for my video - it's a copyright claim, not a copyright strike - but it's still interesting.
