‘Maniacs Moments Contest, Cell Phone Games

posted by Gauntlet101010

July 1st, 2006

First off …. Happy Canada day to all the Canucks out there!

Secondly, the first winner of our ‘Maniacs Moments contest is Ace Spark of Sprites INC! Congrats on his really amazing custom sprites! Keep on submitting your own entries – this contest is ongoing! There’s no limit on how many times you can submit to the contest!

Also, more screens from the Megaman Cell Phone games have been added. Including one from a Christmas version of Kobun Flies. The mystery of the bigger NES screenshots has also been solved – it’s just a better version of the game O_o. No lie. There’s a 100K version and a 256K version.

Quint, of Sprites INC also informs me that the “Megaman Mania” screens with boarders use something called “GP Player”, so that bit of info has been added to the Misc. Classic Mysteries article.

Pirate Games!

The pirate games pages have ALL been updated!

It’s been a long time coming. And this is likely the last update, unless there’s one REALLY interesting update to make to that section. After all …. there’s only so many ways you can cover crap. I think what we have gives a pretty good impression of the different sorts of pirate games out there.

Moreover, it’s been reorganized a little. So things are easier to find.

Oh, on a totally unrelated note: Quickman found out the game for the latest Rockman Cell Phone Game is “Capcom Girls Mind Puzzle” doing some fancy translating. Good job!

More MM3 Mysteries, MM manga scans

Alright, a double update feature!

The update to MM3 Mysteries isn’t really big. I just merged my ancient article on the Megaman 3 Prototype rom into the section (as I probably should have done in the first place). There’s no new information given. Of course if you haven’t read the article, then you may find a few things interesting. I also added chapter links to the beginning of the article, it’s gotten quite long.

The Megaman manga scans have been updated for the first time in YEARS! They now feature some old scans once seen on Ariga’s own site and a sew section – Character Profiles. The bulk of that was on Ariga’s site once, but give me a bit of time and I’ll scan all the profiles found in the mangas for that section.

The Cell phone games list has been updated and now features more screenshots for older games. I think I may actually have to make a second page JUST for the screenshots soon.

Well, I’m sort of back ….. but not fully. Don’t expect a massive online presence, but …. there will be *a* presence.

Rockman Strategy

Rockman Strategy receives it’s last sprite update featuring the second half of the Constellation Droids and the Classic Bad Guys. This will be the last RMS update for a few weeks. I’m sick of giving the one section all the updates.

On a side note – Happy Halloween! The banner at the top will be as festive as it gets.

Rockman Strategy, MM2 Book

October 14th, 2005

Welp, this ends week one of our time at a new domain and a new server. This happens every two or three years. I hope this time to keep the domain if we ever move again. It’s pretty inconvenient to lose it every time we move. Still, it’s nice to be on our own and all.

Continuing Rockman Strategy coverage this week. The second set of robot masters that make an appearance in the game are now online! And with them this conclusion: Rockman Strategy was sent out unfinished. The robot master sprites and the lack of encryption spell out an unfinished game no matter how you slice it. Nevertheless, it’s a point in my favour! I’ve solved the mystery of why the in-game text is garbles ….. and along with it I have found the entire script for the game! I’ve sent it to Sparks to translate. It’s in you’re hands now Spark! Next week I’ll start showing the sprites of the Constellation Droids.

The “article” on the Rockman 2 book has been deleted. I’ve collected all scanned pages into ONE PDF file and it’s now available in the downloads section. Maybe sometimes I’ll re-read the book and write a REAL article on it.

TheMechanicalManiacs.com!! Moving from PMM! Oh and Rockman Strategy.

Alright. Well, Nyne (of Planet Megaman) has decided to buy his own server (at which PMM will be hosted soon enough) and so I’m jumping the PMM ship and climbing aboard Nyne’s Megaman Community project (as is the Sinister Six, by the way). Although we’ll be on the same physical server, the site will no longer be under Planet Megaman as a sub-hosted site. Nyne’s deal is totally and completely separate from Planet Megaman, although he is a staff member there. Our destiny will be our own!

*huttah!*

To further this end I have done what I should have done a LONG time ago – purchased a .com redirect. You can now, and forever more, reach us at …..

www.TheMechanicalManiacs.com!

Please, update all bookmarks and links.

Right now the .com redirect doesn’t function 100% properly (in that it acts like our free .cjb.net redirect, although it does still point to us). This is because we’re still just a sub-hosted site. Once we’re on our own it’ll work great.

In regards to PMM, I have decided to leave as a staff member. I don’t want to cause trouble for them or for myself so, to put it simply, it’s due to artistic differences and I’ll leave it at that. Good luck, Planet Megaman! Fight for everlasting peace!

Oh, and that Rockman Strategy game has more sprites. This time of half the classic robot masters featured in the game (I know some have been waiting for this)! I’ve also added some new fun facts pertaining to the game as well as large, high quality, scans of the front and back of the box. Also, the “Chinese Games” article is now, more accurately, called the “Asian games” article. The article itself has been reworked slightly, but there’s really no new information.

The milking of one game for all it’s worth continues! And by that I mean Rockman Strategy now has sprites for all the minor enemies found in the game!

Yeah, I’ve been dragging these updates out. I’ve been busy.

On a side note – PMM blew up again! Whose surprised? Raise your hands?

*crickets chirp*

That’s what I thought. Well, keep looking to the CJB.NET redirect and you’ll always find this site.

Rockman Strategy coverage continues!

Surprised at all the robot masters? How about Gemini? I know that one will be the butt of many a joke to come. Well, there’s more coverage now! Sprites (if they can really be called sprites) of the main characters have been uploaded! More to come so stay tuned for all the RM Strategy news!
