Map Requests / Re: Capcom's Aladdin GBA Not Up?

« Last post by Cyartog959 on September 20, 2025, 10:12:38 pm »

LOL, wut

What is the story behind the maps for Looney Tunes games, and what do politics have to do with it?

Please pay no mind to that. It has nothing to do with the game's port in mind.

LTIan's trying to fish for attention lately because many Looney Tunes games aren't mapped yet, and many mappers seem to have plenty on their plates presently that's putting their tasks of mapping games on the back burner, albeit repeatedly, and keeps requesting them over and over again, and invoking matters we cannot, and are trying not to, talk about here in this post, or anywhere here. We're trying to maintain a clean, toxic-free place.

I mean, I get waiting until they're mapped and uploaded, but bothering people about the same thing too much(and, believe me, I try not to) doesn't help with anything, really.

He can take such matters outside of here, lest he pokes too much and messes with the bull... big time.

I won't bear responsibility for whatever LTIan's trying to stir. What he tries to do is on him, NOT me.

Gaming / Broken Relic (point-&-click adventure game on Kickstarter that I'll appear in!)

« Last post by JonLeung on September 20, 2025, 09:19:12 pm »

If you're like me and you like point-and-click computer games, this oldschool one called "Broken Relic" is worth checking out.

There's a demo available on Steam where you can play the first act.  Here's the Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3384820/Broken_Relic/

And it has a Kickstarter campaign (until October 9, 2025): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/broken-relic/broken-relic

I supported the Kickstarter campaign just in time to be the one to push it past 100%... and I'll be a voiced NPC!

Yup, I'll finally get to be a character in a computer game!

If it hits its stretch goals to be ported to mobile and the Switch, then I can finally say I'm in a Nintendo game!  Or at least a game you can play on a Nintendo platform!  You can help me fulfill that dream!

Or, you can be part of that dream... some voiced NPC spots are still available.

I spoke with the creator, and it will be a considerable part... many lines of dialogue, and involved in some puzzle chains.  So it's not just a tiny cameo!

It's pricey, but I'd rather regret a lighter wallet temporarily than regret missing an opportunity of being in a game.  A game in one of my favourite genres, no less!

Not sponsored (sort of the opposite, actually, as I'm giving THEM money), just spreading the word.

Maps In Progress / Re: FlyingArmor's Map Projects Present and Future

I'm new to these forums, but what I do know is that FlyingArmor does great maps, especially for RPGs.

Is Ultima: Warriors Of Destiny (NES) one of those current projects?

Too leftist and ableist to do anything about it.

Map Gab / Re: Bugs Bunny In Crazy Castle 4 (Game Boy/GBC)

The Crazy Castle series is an interesting one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Castle

Some have Bugs Bunny, but in other regions and later releases, so many other characters star in them.

There's Mickey Mouse, Garfield, The Real Ghostbusters, and Woody Woodpecker.

Also a European character named Hugo, and Kemco's own Kid Klown.

It's just an interesting note, that's all.

Not sure if I want to request the remaining ones to be mapped, but if I do, I know the correct board to do that in, don't worry.

Map Requests / Re: List of unmapped NES games

« Last post by RetroidPrimeX on September 19, 2025, 08:50:29 am »

It's now less than a month until the 40th anniversary of the NES in the United States!

Doesn't look like VGMaps will get all the NES games mapped by then.

Maybe the 45th?

Or maybe the 42nd?  (I've always liked that number.)

I don't know if it's better to map all the "easy" games first, like sports and puzzle games, or prioritize mapping the games that need them most, like RPGs/adventures.

On the one hand, it feels like the list is shrinking quicker if you knock out the simple one-screen or one-area games.

On the other hand, more people would take note of VGMaps if they knew they could find useful maps of dungeons and big overworlds and whatnot.

Or maybe just mix them up?  Do a few easy ones and then tackle a big one?

Gotta keep it interesting so that no one burns out (especially that zagato guy that seems to be doing most of the work).

Map Requests / Re: Mega Man Maps

Hello!  I'm a Mega Man and Metroid fan.

I hope you guys can map more Mega Man games!

It's surprising to me that the PSP games aren't mapped yet.

I know making maps isn't easy, and takes time to do, but I appreciate all your efforts!

Thanks for all your hard work so far!

I wouldn't bother.

They aren't too focused on ripping cartoon-themed video games these days. Not even for Looney Tunes-themed games.

Too leftist and ableist to do anything about it.

Maps Of The Month / Re: 2025/08: Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) - VGCartography

« Last post by Cyartog959 on September 18, 2025, 01:27:09 am »

Hey, I just had a little realization about the "Boos" from that game...

Those Boos in that game are not alike the regular Boos with their menacing faces. The Boos I've seen in Sirena Beach's Hotel Defino are kinda a different branch of 'em, and judging from their actions, I'd say they're quite more on drooling and scaring people than normal Boos, and their name that is shared is not quite original.

Even their branch's leader bears the same name, "King Boo", and I don't find him the one and the same King Boo Luigi thwarted time and again.

I feel they should have a more fitting, distinct name among the other varieties. Given their obvious nature, maybe they should be called "Slob-Boos", and their leader, "King Slob-Boo", just like how Super Mario 3D World finally gave the once long-dormant variant of Goombas from Super Mario World, "Galoombas". It combines the two words, "Boo" and "Slobber" together, because, well, they tend to slobber a lot, even their king. Makes it more original sounding that way.

Neat distinction, yes?
