Topic: New maps from a new member

[ricardosallin]

Hello there, VGMaps!

I'm a longtime reader of the site, but I only registered recently. In fact, just a few days ago.

I've made some maps for games I like from the NES and SMS, and I'll be posting them soon:
- Gain Ground (SMS): All stages and characters (done)
- Battle City (NES): All areas (done). Also known as Tank'90
- Monster Truck Rally (NES): Default track (95% done)
- Rainbow Silkroad (NES): Overworld done; currently working on cities/areas and items. Based on a translated version from Japanese
- Makai Island (Famicom): Overworld done; currently working on areas and items. Based on a translated NES version of the original Japanese release. There’s already a map of Higemaru Makaijima (MSX version) published on VGMaps by Fabio Albergaria. The NES version I used is a cancelled port. As far as I can tell, the maps are identical, but the graphics are slightly different.
- Valkyrie no Bouken (Famicom): Overworld done; currently working on areas and items. The overworld has already been published on VGMaps by George_sn

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your maps.

I played Battle City (NES) a lot with my brother when we were young. It was one of the games on a 31-1 multicart my older brother bought from a shady ad. Good times!

Welcome! Happy to see new faces picking up the hobby.

Hello everyone!

After finishing some of the maps on my to-do list, I’ve been checking through the list of unmapped games and a few of them really caught my interest. I wanted to ask: is anyone currently working on any of these?

Of course, it’s quite a few games — I expect this project will keep me busy for a few years! But I’d like to avoid doubling up on work if someone else is already mapping any of them.

Hi Ricardo. It's great to see more people getting involved in this. I've been grinding away at the NES index for the last few years but most of the games you listed are fine if you want them.

The only one of these games i've been working on is Klash Ball. Actually, i've already ripped all the backgrounds, so i'll send it in today.


I have codes for Zippy race that might be helpful to you. They make you invulnerable to crashing so you'll be able to focus on getting screenshots.
