From Sega Retro

http://sega-memories.blogspot.com/2012/02/comix-zone-promotional-comic-strip.html I think Mainman linked this but I know it was linked in IRC

I'm starting to think I should go back and rethink the naming system I used a year/two years ago and consider using the names Sega uses the most instead for the Japanese games or something IDK anymore :|

Going to be tough: recent Sega arcade games, as Sega of Japan doesn't centralize all the information in one place, but rather in at least three separate places (the arcade section of the main wesite, am-show.sega.jp, location.sega.jp, among others). In fact I should make a list of sega.jp subdomains and hotspots as well

http://web.archive.org/web/19990831115635/http://www.sega.com/cgi-bin/productdb/pdbproc.pl vastly incomplete list because both alexa and sega's webmasters are/were (respectively) gaynos

my user page: sonic:User:Andlabs

things:
User:Andlabs/Sega 32X rewriting this article
User:Andlabs/What I Have
User:Andlabs/Unlicensed and User:Andlabs/WIP Unlicensed Mega Drive All In One Resource help the world is a void
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
Mega Drive Unlicensed Game Emulation Notes

things to make:
a list of games that work properly in PAL but not NTSC and vice versa

things to do

  • coordinate grabbing scans (see forum {{replace}} topic)
  • 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
  • remaining Madou Monogatari I spells (one needs to be romanized)
  • Mega Drive game credits; also must be identical to original game, annotations if necessary
  • 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...
  • find some relationship between Taito/Toaplan's Flying Shark and Taito/Toaplan's Twin Hawk (and possibly even to Fire Shark)

Saturn Master List Notes

ヴァージンインタラクティブエンターテインメント It appears that Sega has replaced most of the EA entries on the Saturn master list with this (Virgin Interactive Entertainment). WTF? More reason to do these lists... but maybe I'll wait until I get everything on the DC one sorted

BIG TODO http://segaretro.org/Saturn_6_Player_Adaptor#Compatible_Games do third party 1996-2000 because fuck too many

Corrections to Other Sites

User:Andlabs/Mega Drive Regional Name Equivalents ... fuck.

things to confirm/tell no-intro that aren't mentioned in any of the above pages:

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

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
