User:Andlabs/Things_I_could_possibly_replace let me know if you can do these before I do
User:Andlabs/Unlicensed and User:Andlabs/WIP Unlicensed Mega Drive All In One Resource help the world is a void
User:Andlabs/Shoot-'em-Ups because Sega loves being consistent
User:Andlabs/Sega of Japan Mega Drive Master List to make sure everything in the articles are correct (and partially because Sega loves being consistent)
User:Andlabs/Sega of Japan Mega CD Master List same, plus to make sure we have all our romanized names right
User:Andlabs/Game Gear Name Organization because AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HOW COULD SOMETHING WITH THIS FEW GAMES BE SO CONFUSING

Bubsy should this have a colon (or a dash in their case) in the name?

is it "G-LOC: Air Battle" or "G-LOC Air Battle"?
is it "Gadget Twins" or "The Gadget Twins"?
rename "Lotus II" to "Lotus II: RECS"
"Tougi Ou King Colossus" should be, according to SS, the proper romanization (as Tougi == contest and Ou == king) but I wonder why everyone goes about it differently
is it "Second Samurai" or "The Second Samurai"?
is it "Wild Snake" (MD proto) or "WildSnake" (SNES final)?
"Yuu Yuu Hakusho"? "Yu Yu Hakusho"? "YuuYuu Hakusho"? WHAT IS IT FOR GOD'S SAKE

it should be Game no Kanzume
should the a in Rent a Hero be capitalized or not?

shouldn't it be "Boxing Legends of The Ring" and not "the Ring" ?
figure out what to do with R.B.I. Baseball 4's Japanese name
add "True Golf Classics" to the "Pebble Beach Golf Links" name as "New 3D Golf Simulation" is on the "Pebble Beach no Hatou" name?
Galahad stuff
rename EU ROMs of World Class Leaderboard Golf to World Class Leader Board
Captain Planet saw no US release; did they confuse the Asian version and label that ROM as US?
ダイナブラザーズ２スペシャル says Dyna Brothers 2 Special, not Dyna Brothers 2: Sega Channel Special...
"Pelé II: World Tournament Soccer" is "Pelé's World Tournament Soccer" in Europe
change "FIFA 98: Road to World Cup" to "FIFA Road to World Cup 98" TODO find out if there should be a colon in there
should there be "Great Circus Mystery" in the JP title too?
HardBall III should have "Al Michaels Presents" or whatever it is before it (also it is unlicensed? huh)
TechnoClash should be one word according to copyrights (but is the C capital? US says yes, EU says no)

"NHL '94" is "NHL Hockey '94" in Europe
"Mig-29 Fighter Pilot" should be "MiG-29 Fighter Pilot"
"Mega Games 6 Vol. 3" should be "Mega 6 Vol. 3" or "Mega 6 vol. 3"

"CutThroat Island" should be "Cutthroat Island" (as with the other sets)
Fun 'n' Games on EU back of box
"FIFA Soccer 97" is "FIFA 97" in Europe
Bubba'n'Stix should be Bubba 'N' Stix (and there probably shouldn't be a subtitle in the US one)

is it "ResQ" or "Resq"?

it should be "Where in ____ is Carmen Sandiego", not "Where in ____ Is Carmen Sandiego" (TODO find proof for all the mistaken sets)
"Tale Spin" should probably be "TaleSpin" (error in GG set)
should it be "Ozaki Naomichi no Super Masters"

things to tell Guardiana:
this is this
this is this
this is not the right cover
the Japanese John Madden Football is actually '92

things to make:
Unlicensed Mega Drive Game Emulation Notes
Mega Drive Game PAL/NTSC Notes
User:Andlabs/Sega of Japan Dreamcast Master List because http://sega.jp/dc/ is a bit unwieldy
User:Andlabs/Sega Arcade ROM Sizes to work with romsize=; what I know now is System C has main ROM and System C2 has main ROM and muPD7759 ROM

things to do

  • coordinate grabbing scans (see forum {{replace}} topic)
  • NAOMI undump list
  • more MD games
  • gameplay specifics on SMS/GG/arcade games
  • try to get Top Shooter (pirate arcade game running on raw MD hardware and unknown coin circuitry) to work with Gens/GS II now that someone (Eke?) figured out how it works and Eke added it to Genesis Plus/GX (I don't have a Wii...)
  • try to get those last two Zemina games to work
  • ask System 16 if "Sega Z80 Hardware" all ran on the same motherboard or not
  • remaining Madou Monogatari I spells (one needs to be romanized)
  • Sansan, Puyo Puyo Tsu MD, Madou Monogatari I credits (need translating)
  • Dragon's Fury credits (all are Tecnosoft staff btw)
  • put original credits back on Sonic Retro pages
  • add credits to other pages
  • add Japanese names and prices to everything
  • add US names and prices to everything from NOA support list link to one page of such list
  • find out about The Dinosaur Dooley (unlicensed) as Hardcore Gaming 101 says this supposed SK-US partnership went unreleased while its original Korean version did... but no-intro has a ROM of it marked Korea...
  • other Puyo Puyo articles
    • Puyo Puyo!! (though everyone's going to call it Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary in the end)
  • find some relationship between Taito/Toaplan's Flying Shark and Taito/Toaplan's Twin Hawk (and possibly even to Fire Shark)
