I'm looking to convert ''a lot'' of screenshots and you're responsible for a lot of em. Do you remember if you captured any of the screenshots below? If not, remember where they came from? I would share more, but can only generate 500 at a time!

:Hi {{user|Trig Jegman}}. Yeah, I captured a lot of those images personally, especially the single screen games like Combat, Bubble Bobble, Lode Runner, and Chack'n Pop.  Other games like Castle Excellent and Athena were done so long ago, I'm not sure I'd be able to locate them again if I tried.  I have a tendency to add markup to them in the process of making them consumable for a walkthrough.  I know this isn't the most satisfactory answer, but it's the best I have right now.  If I somehow conjure up the source for some of the other images, I'll let you know.  But I'm more likely to stumble across them accidentally than intentionally.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 03:01, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I merged "Power-ups" and "Modes" into single pages and removed the sections from the ToC. Things may need to be moved around, but I'm unfamiliar with the formatting, so I'm gonna need a little help.

Hey Procyon,


== Re: DW3 ==
No problem! After I finish the RSE guide, I'm going to apply the new templates me and Prod made to the FRLG pages too - Hopefully, it'll decrease the file size for them. Then I'll probably check out the other Pokémon guides to see what they're like, and maybe go onto a different franchise. [[User:Pakuchi|Pakuchi -- ''Someone! Anyone! Respond!'']] 13:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

==I need some guidance==
Hi Procyon! Um, honestly I am kind of embarrassed on pinging you about this considering that you are the head of StrategyWiki, but the thing is, I want to ask for guidance from you regarding about some of my guides because recently I have been thinking of something, I want to know what you think and what will be your advice to me regarding about this, this will be somewhat long so I hope you have time to read, also thank you very much for writing on my Talk page along with Prod, so here it is, I've been thinking of this for quite a while now.


Can you take a look at http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Ms._Pac-Man/Walkthrough&curid=8000&diff=288854&oldid=236849&rcid=271873 and http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Galaga/Walkthrough&curid=17966&diff=288852&oldid=251016&rcid=271871.  They need cleanup for sure, though I'm not sure how to merge the content in. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 23:54, 12 July 2008 (CDT)
You see, I have these 2 games named Astrobatics and Alien Sky that I made a Stage 2 guide from, and what bothers me is that no matter how much I think of how to improve the guides for these 2 (I can still improve them, in fact 2 more overhauls each but it is not that significant anymore) I can't really think of what more I can provide for these 2 games to make the guides for them Stage 3 eligible, the issue I am thinking about is its levels, or missions as what the games refer, it is some sort of a real time mission


==Featured article ideas==
Here are some samples of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRzhucERGqE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7X_VzuQG14


I was looking through your page here: [[User:Procyon/Famicom]], and I think games such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong could be featured. The Wiki has been at 5 featured guides for a while, and it certainly needs some new ones. What do you think? [[User:RobJ1981|RobJ1981]] 14:30, 28 July 2008 (CDT)
The problem with these missions is that they really can't be described anymore with text + picture, while these games have predictable pacing as what I mentioned in its Walkthrough page, this is a roadblock that I feel like its unnecessary to break through
:I added Donkey Kong to the requests for featured guides. While it is a retro game, it isn't known only for that. Newer gamers experience it for the first time, due to the Virtual Console and the recent Donkey Kong documentary: King of Kong. I'm not going to request any older games until the wiki has a lot of more modern/recent games as featured. So, games from the 1990s-present, is what I'm going by for future requests. [[User:RobJ1981|RobJ1981]] 03:11, 30 July 2008 (CDT)


== New Wiki ==
Explaining these missions "down to the bone" as in referring to where would enemies come in, come out, and all that, just feels like unnecessary information and nobody would basically read it, a good example of a game just like this is '''Sky Force Reloaded''', a game I have also nearly mastered a few months ago, I even have my runs in this game uploaded in my YouTube account and I can provide a sample, and just like these 2 games, Sky Force Reloaded also has the same kind of level, basically real time, it has predictable pacing but the levels are way too complex to be torn apart into text + picture form, if you want to recognize the levels of this game you would rather want to just do a trial and error, train your mind memory and muscle memory until you recognize where will enemies appear since enemy positions and appearances don't change, only drops do.


Hey Procyon, I'm a little bit out of the loop.  You mentioned [[User:Echelon|Echelon]] is starting up second wiki? What for, may I ask?--'''[[User:Dukeruckley|<font color="blue">Duke</font><font color="red">Ruckley</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_talk:Dukeruckley|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Dukeruckley|Contribs]]</small></sup>''' 11:56, 14 August 2008 (CDT)
I have been thinking just now that what if the guides for Astrobatics and Alien Sky are already Stage 3 eligible at this point? I will still have to improve them but I believe once I did, they should be at least Stage 3 eligible, but I am afraid that some people may attempt to dispute its ranking and say that it may miss an information, which is also a big problem on my part because I cannot look for someone who has played these 2 games, finished it completely, and then decide to pay my guide a visit and judge it
:Wow!  Very exciting indeed!  I can't wait to see it up and running.--'''[[User:Dukeruckley|<font color="blue">Duke</font><font color="red">Ruckley</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_talk:Dukeruckley|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Dukeruckley|Contribs]]</small></sup>''' 13:19, 14 August 2008 (CDT)


==Bot==
Assuming that you gave me a go signal to make these guides Stage 3 eligible, I will take that into mind and once I have finally provided 2 more major overhauls I will upgrade it to Stage 3, then, if I was able to find someone who can read these guides and tell me how it is, if it came out as having a really good review saying that it is comprehensive enough, then I will upgrade it to Stage 4 but this is a process that I won't be able to do in just days unless if I am lucky enough to find one quick.
Probably could have been botted, but it wasn't that much effort and it was much easier going than trying to do the [[User:Green_Fig/Log/200608|misspellings log]]. I only found the page when I was looking through [[Template:Future]] and thought it had been there for a long time, I didn't realise that it had only been there a month. Oh well... I'll finish it off.--<small>The preceding signed comment was added by [[User:Rocky|Rocky]] ([[User talk:Rocky|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rocky|contribs]]).</small> 12:49, 14 August 2008 (CDT)

Press B, A, then B on Controller 1 after a game over, but before title screen appears. (Continue)
Yo, I just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on {{t|wip}}. I'll use it when in the middle of major edits from now on. [[User:Pakuchi|Pakuchi -- ''Someone! Anyone! Respond!'']] 13:14, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Inside the shop, press A + B simulataneously on Controller #2. (Lower Prices in Shop). Since those are the only controller cheats (that I could find at least), perhaps [[Kid Icarus/Passwords]] should be renamed so they can be in that page. Good job on the guide, it looks complete to me. [[User:RobJ1981|RobJ1981]] 02:45, 21 August 2008 (CDT)

Couldn't [[Castle Excellent/Walkthrough]] use template:scrolling map for its page now? Having that giant sprite doesn't seem like it is very helpful. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 21:12, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
:Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I didn't realize that the file name was repurposed.  I went ahead and fixed it without the scrolling map part.  Not sure scrolling map would be very effective there, especially considering it's in a spoiler collapse.  Could be a good idea, I'm not sure.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 00:51, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, yes I think I'm going to make multiple pages. I was thinking of making these sections:
== Re message ==


1-Intro, Contents and Emulation
Ok I’ll try to check before I submit any edits[[User:Sclera1|Sclera1]] ([[User talk:Sclera1|talk]]) 02:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)


2-Controls
== Question ==


3-Character Selection
Hi i was wondering, would you prefer when writing an article (e.g. enemies guide), if i had to make a quick change and I didn’t have the time to go through an entire thing at once, would you prefer me to initially either list them as headers that are empty underneath or list them in dots points (in case) and then expand on them when i have the chance? Thank you [[User:Sclera1|Sclera1]] ([[User talk:Sclera1|talk]]) 06:28, 9 July 2022 (UTC)


4-Difficulty

Couldn't see what the page contained but I found some things that *might* have been the game?
*[https://farawaytimes.itch.io/kikai Kikai by Far Away Times]
*[https://www.indiedb.com/games/kikai This thing on IndieDB]
*[https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/hisui-no-kikai Hisui No Kikai on Metacritic]; came out this year

*[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/917289-kikai-shikake-no-kan Kikai Shikake No Kan, appears to be an NSFW game? couldn't find more besides gameFAQs]
Maybe this helps find if this was a legitimate game or not. Worst to worst, maybe we don't have one of these games and it can be added instead. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 02:24, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
:I appreciate you digging in to see if there was any real world examples of a game named Kikai.  None of these seem to relate to the content that the user added, so it's difficult to determine whether the user's content was based on a real game in development, or more of a fantasy wish-list game.  I'm not going to worry much about it though.  '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 17:45, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

== I need help on the New Zealand Story Enemies ==


7-Scoring
Procyon, I need your help, there is a lot of enemies in the New Zealand Story, And the art program I use can only hold 700 pixels and will get the picture blurry, Can you help me please. Also can you make all the character sprites what yo did to that Pac-Man Sprites it looks more cool.


8-Secrets (with trivia added)
By Game Player500


But anyway how do you normally create the pages? just typing for example http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Star_Fox_2/Controls and editing it? How then do you put them in order for the table of contents?
== TY for work on the Mighty Bomb Jack page ==


Thanks for the help ; ) ~ [[User:Galaxy|Galaxy]] 20:19, 24 August 2008 (CDT)
Hey. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you did on the Mighty Bomb Jack page. I recently discovered it while trying to make a full game map. All I came for was the images of all the rooms so I could layer them together in a GIMP project... but then I noticed that crazy shortcut from 5 to 11! Turns out it saves time in speedruns compared to warping between the Palace Rooms. It helped me recently get World Record!


---
I was hoping you could tell me where you found that trick. Seems crazy to think someone could discover it by accident. Did you do a code disassembly or was it in some sort of Nintendo Power or old school strategy guide? [[User:SpaceColonizer|SpaceColonizer]] ([[User talk:SpaceColonizer|talk]]) 19:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

No problem, I'm a big fan of their work, and their guides are pretty much the only guides I buy any more. I'm just happy that the template has finally been put to good use. --[[User:Vizeroth|Vizeroth]] 22:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for bringing the file size to my attention. Do you think I could compress the existing file? I can't find any other good scans for the Mother 1+2 box online. Thanks for your time. [[User:GamingBound|GamingBound]] ([[User talk:GamingBound|talk]]) 19:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)


Er, that reminds me Procyon, I realise I never told you about {{t|DoubleJump}} being made functional, but you've probably noticed that by now. :P It's not very good but it's a start, and it's probably more noticeable than the sidebar idea anyway since it's not competing for attention with the Flash ad.

Just one short Question: Is there any reason why the KOF Orochi ToC got deleted?
Hey....sorry about the callousness for my last message. I felt very frustrated and irritant at the time, so forgive the snarky-ness inherent in the message. I thank you for taking the time to respond to my queries, and I truly respect and appreciate everything you guys do here on this wiki (despite what my desires for it were).

== Zelda II strategy ==
 
You sure have a wealth of knowledge to put into your Famicom guides... do you know so much by just playing the game or what?  Anyway, I know the Zelda II guide is incomplete, so I hope I'm not jumping the gun here, but I seemed to remember that you can use the ''Fairy'' spell to unlock doors by flying into the keyhole. A quick google search tells me that it won't unlock doors, it'll just allow Link to get to the other side.  You may want to incorporate this into your guide. [[User:New User|New User]] 22:49, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 
== Sorry again ==
 
I don't expect you to accept my apologies, but I apologize nonetheless.  I forgot to take my mood stabilizing medicine that day.

Check out [[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link/Hearts and Potions]]... those thumbs don't look right.  All of that white should be black, click the thumbs to see what the image ''should'' look like. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 04:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:This issue is GIF-specific--I've swapped one of the images with a PNG and it displays as intended. StrategyWiki is currently using an inaccurate image handler. It causes similar problems with SVG.

It says it's saying you need 4 silver arrows to kill Ganon, but it seems he's replaced the instance of "4" with a "1", so we don't know what to do. --[[User:Arrow|Arrow Windwhistler]] ([[User talk:Arrow|talk]]) 16:17, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
:Each hit does 1 damage instead of 4. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 16:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, the number next to the weapon reflects how much damage the weapon does to the opponent.  Since Ganon has 4 HP, and the player must hit Ganon with four silver arrows, one silver arrows does 1HP of damage to him.  The anon edit was correct, it was my mistake initially.

== Arcade images ==
 
I heard you were the one to talk to about getting some more arcade images. We could use an omnidirectional joystick (with all eight direction arrows) or a neutral joystick (maybe not a top-down view?). Also "1P", "2P", etc. buttons in the same style as the "A" and "B" buttons. I don't know if you make these yourself or just know where to get them. I had an idea for dealing with all the variations of button colors and types: maybe a bunch of blank buttons with different colors and a separate background-transparent image overlayed. So if you put in like '''<nowiki>{{cade|Blue|1P}}</nowiki>''' you'd get the blue button with the "1P" image on top. Just an idea.

I understand. If you want me to do it without any help than that's fine. I apologise to put them through their paces. I just feel guilty and scared a lot. I won't do that sort again and if I make anything else worse than I'm sorry. If you want me to quit this site than I'll understand. [[User:Johnnyauau2000|Johnnyauau2000]] 01:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
 
Thanks. Now that I considered that, I took some major time figuring out all the links for Quantum of Solace and did the content setup for Call of Duty and Quantum of Solace. I also learn to do the header and footer off by heart. I understand the process of images but I know I can't produce the box art out of thin air. Maybe I overlooked something. I'm just wondering if you download the image first than upload it to this site or is the process is very different? Is the source in anything other than Gamespot? I'm just puzzled that's all.
 
To tell the truth, its not that I don't wanna do those things but whether I ever have the guts to do it. Like when you go into editing world, people you meet might be evil at first but later it turns out to be nice people. To make it harder, I do have mild autism. I don't know who to trust in this world nowadays. So its the sort of criticisms I'm used to nowadays. Not to mention that I do like to cry a lot over my problems. Anyway, thank you for giving me a wake up call. [[User:Johnnyauau2000|Johnnyauau2000]] 05:46, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually it got worst. The password rule is not what I was hoping. It requires a mix of small/big cases numbers and the computer symbols which makes it too complex. So on second thoughts, I wouldn't register to a forum without screwing up my password. So sorry about that. Maybe if they relax the password rule than I won't have to memorise two passwords for the rest of my life. [[User:Johnnyauau2000|Johnnyauau2000]] 06:26, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 
==Street Fighter EX bios==
Which sources? I've been translating the character profiles from the waybacked versions of the [http://web.archive.org/web/20000510020654/http://www.arika.co.jp/prod/ex2index.html EX2] and [http://web.archive.org/web/20000510020654/http://www.arika.co.jp/prod/ex2p_index.html EX2 Plus] sites, as well as the ending transcriptions from ''All About Capcom Fighting Games'' ([http://streetfighterex.info/SFEXEndings.htm which you can see here as well]) and none of the backstories given match up. For example, I have yet to see an official source from Capcom or Arika which states that Sharon and Blair are sisters. Or that Hayate and Hokuto are lovers? [[User:Jonny2x4|Jonny2x4]] 23:07, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 
:Like I said. I own All About Capcom Head-to-Head Fighting Game book myself and none of those character connections I've brought up are mentioned, having just look up Blair Dame and Sharon's bios right now. Sharon's bio implies she has a relative she doesn't know of, but its a relative who works for a crime syndicate.

I did wonder about that, but a lot of the information I found claimed "the NES version is significantly different" and said it had much longer stages. Based on what you've said merging them makes sense, and once you get up to 1988 you can sort out any elements that need clarifying.

Sourcing[edit]

I'm looking to convert a lot of screenshots and you're responsible for a lot of em. Do you remember if you captured any of the screenshots below? If not, remember where they came from? I would share more, but can only generate 500 at a time!

Much thanks! Trig - 06:20, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi Trig Jegman (talk · contribs). Yeah, I captured a lot of those images personally, especially the single screen games like Combat, Bubble Bobble, Lode Runner, and Chack'n Pop. Other games like Castle Excellent and Athena were done so long ago, I'm not sure I'd be able to locate them again if I tried. I have a tendency to add markup to them in the process of making them consumable for a walkthrough. I know this isn't the most satisfactory answer, but it's the best I have right now. If I somehow conjure up the source for some of the other images, I'll let you know. But I'm more likely to stumble across them accidentally than intentionally. Procyon 03:01, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
Maybe to put this another way, are there any significant examples you can think of where you didn't self capture them? Trig - 04:17, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the Thanks[edit]

Hey Procyon,

No problem! After I finish the RSE guide, I'm going to apply the new templates me and Prod made to the FRLG pages too - Hopefully, it'll decrease the file size for them. Then I'll probably check out the other Pokémon guides to see what they're like, and maybe go onto a different franchise. Pakuchi -- Someone! Anyone! Respond! 13:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I need some guidance[edit]

Hi Procyon! Um, honestly I am kind of embarrassed on pinging you about this considering that you are the head of StrategyWiki, but the thing is, I want to ask for guidance from you regarding about some of my guides because recently I have been thinking of something, I want to know what you think and what will be your advice to me regarding about this, this will be somewhat long so I hope you have time to read, also thank you very much for writing on my Talk page along with Prod, so here it is, I've been thinking of this for quite a while now.

You see, I have these 2 games named Astrobatics and Alien Sky that I made a Stage 2 guide from, and what bothers me is that no matter how much I think of how to improve the guides for these 2 (I can still improve them, in fact 2 more overhauls each but it is not that significant anymore) I can't really think of what more I can provide for these 2 games to make the guides for them Stage 3 eligible, the issue I am thinking about is its levels, or missions as what the games refer, it is some sort of a real time mission

Here are some samples of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRzhucERGqE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7X_VzuQG14

The problem with these missions is that they really can't be described anymore with text + picture, while these games have predictable pacing as what I mentioned in its Walkthrough page, this is a roadblock that I feel like its unnecessary to break through

Explaining these missions "down to the bone" as in referring to where would enemies come in, come out, and all that, just feels like unnecessary information and nobody would basically read it, a good example of a game just like this is Sky Force Reloaded, a game I have also nearly mastered a few months ago, I even have my runs in this game uploaded in my YouTube account and I can provide a sample, and just like these 2 games, Sky Force Reloaded also has the same kind of level, basically real time, it has predictable pacing but the levels are way too complex to be torn apart into text + picture form, if you want to recognize the levels of this game you would rather want to just do a trial and error, train your mind memory and muscle memory until you recognize where will enemies appear since enemy positions and appearances don't change, only drops do.

I have been thinking just now that what if the guides for Astrobatics and Alien Sky are already Stage 3 eligible at this point? I will still have to improve them but I believe once I did, they should be at least Stage 3 eligible, but I am afraid that some people may attempt to dispute its ranking and say that it may miss an information, which is also a big problem on my part because I cannot look for someone who has played these 2 games, finished it completely, and then decide to pay my guide a visit and judge it

Assuming that you gave me a go signal to make these guides Stage 3 eligible, I will take that into mind and once I have finally provided 2 more major overhauls I will upgrade it to Stage 3, then, if I was able to find someone who can read these guides and tell me how it is, if it came out as having a really good review saying that it is comprehensive enough, then I will upgrade it to Stage 4 but this is a process that I won't be able to do in just days unless if I am lucky enough to find one quick.

I am really sorry for the inconvenience Procyon, I have mentioned you on Discord about this but it seems that you are already not active in there, thank you. Stormshadow429 (talk) 07:24, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up[edit]

Yo, I just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on {{wip}}. I'll use it when in the middle of major edits from now on. Pakuchi -- Someone! Anyone! Respond! 13:14, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Make Betterer[edit]

Couldn't Castle Excellent/Walkthrough use template:scrolling map for its page now? Having that giant sprite doesn't seem like it is very helpful. Trig - 21:12, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I didn't realize that the file name was repurposed. I went ahead and fixed it without the scrolling map part. Not sure scrolling map would be very effective there, especially considering it's in a spoiler collapse. Could be a good idea, I'm not sure. Procyon 00:51, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Regardless, better have a usable map than a not-usable map. Thanks for the change. Trig - 02:12, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Re message[edit]

Ok I’ll try to check before I submit any editsSclera1 (talk) 02:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Question[edit]

Hi i was wondering, would you prefer when writing an article (e.g. enemies guide), if i had to make a quick change and I didn’t have the time to go through an entire thing at once, would you prefer me to initially either list them as headers that are empty underneath or list them in dots points (in case) and then expand on them when i have the chance? Thank you Sclera1 (talk) 06:28, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

It's out of scope[edit]

User:MrNemesis/sandbox covers an out of scope game: Fandom Nintendo Page for Extreme Cross. Trig - 16:53, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Kikai[edit]

Couldn't see what the page contained but I found some things that *might* have been the game?

Maybe this helps find if this was a legitimate game or not. Worst to worst, maybe we don't have one of these games and it can be added instead. Trig - 02:24, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate you digging in to see if there was any real world examples of a game named Kikai. None of these seem to relate to the content that the user added, so it's difficult to determine whether the user's content was based on a real game in development, or more of a fantasy wish-list game. I'm not going to worry much about it though. Procyon 17:45, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

I need help on the New Zealand Story Enemies[edit]

Procyon, I need your help, there is a lot of enemies in the New Zealand Story, And the art program I use can only hold 700 pixels and will get the picture blurry, Can you help me please. Also can you make all the character sprites what yo did to that Pac-Man Sprites it looks more cool.

TY for work on the Mighty Bomb Jack page[edit]

Hey. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you did on the Mighty Bomb Jack page. I recently discovered it while trying to make a full game map. All I came for was the images of all the rooms so I could layer them together in a GIMP project... but then I noticed that crazy shortcut from 5 to 11! Turns out it saves time in speedruns compared to warping between the Palace Rooms. It helped me recently get World Record!

I was hoping you could tell me where you found that trick. Seems crazy to think someone could discover it by accident. Did you do a code disassembly or was it in some sort of Nintendo Power or old school strategy guide? SpaceColonizer (talk) 19:33, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

That information was sourced from a Japanese guide. I don't recall which one, it was a long time ago. Procyon 00:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Mother 1+2 Box[edit]

Thanks for bringing the file size to my attention. Do you think I could compress the existing file? I can't find any other good scans for the Mother 1+2 box online. Thanks for your time. GamingBound (talk) 19:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Magazine pages[edit]

Thanks for letting me know about the magazine scans. I will delete them shortly. (Edit: Actually, I can't delete them. I'll leave that up to you. Here are the pages I provided magazine pics to: Zelda, Zelda II, Mega Man 2, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, R.C. Pro-Am, Track and Field II, TMNT, and Castlevania II.)GamingBound (talk) 21:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Zelda II Box[edit]

Hello! Could you please find a way to fix the file for the Zelda II: The Adventure of Link box? I am not sure of how to properly downscale it so its file size isn't so big. Thank you. GamingBound (talk) 00:08, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Bye Bye![edit]

Hey....sorry about the callousness for my last message. I felt very frustrated and irritant at the time, so forgive the snarky-ness inherent in the message. I thank you for taking the time to respond to my queries, and I truly respect and appreciate everything you guys do here on this wiki (despite what my desires for it were). I hope we can part (and possibly meet again if I come back) on good terms. All my thanks, GamingBound (talk) 19:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
