| == Baby Pac-Man in MAME ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi Garrett. If you want to be technical, Baby Pac-Man does not belong to the MAME category. It ''is'' supported in PinMAME, but that's considered a separate build of MAME, and no one who downloads one of the "regular" MAME builds will be able to play Babe Pac-Man. Ultimately, I'll leave the call up to you, but I would remove the category. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 21:35, 1 July 2008 (CDT)

| == Why did you take away my credit? ==
| |
|
| |
| I was told by the proprietor of this site Echelon that I could put that link in because this is a contribution from my site and you go and take it out. I don't appreciate it. Is this how you treat your contributors? I am sure this was just a misunderstanding, as you were probably influenced by some of the ideologues on this site who like to tell the contributors what to do and how to do it.
| |
|
| |
| I have put this back in as I was given permission to. Please don't delete my contribution lines unless you get direct permission from the proprietor of this site -- not from this demi-god or this know-it-all, but from the proprietor. Thank you.
| |
|
| |
| Sorry for the stridency in this post, but it is a very irritating situation. Next time you delete my authorized "by line," delete the whole damned contributed walkthrough that goes with it.
| |
|
| |
| By the way, here is a copy of the permission I got.
| |
|
| |
| Hey Karl. If your guides from another site were made freely available (free as in freedom) and are anywhere on this website, then you absolutely have a right to put a link on the guide. I would suggest putting it on the bottom of the main guide page where it is visible above any other external links, or perhaps as the kind of template we use for "Wikipedia has more on...". In fact, a template might be a good idea for this. I'll talk with Prod again, and I suggest that you join us at our meeting this weekend so that we can address this in a way where you not only get credited, but you get credited in a fitting way.

| :Karl, the link would be better suited as specifically recommended by ech: on the main page of the guide, under the external links section. This provides your site with blanket coverage on the C&C guide, and helps maintain our policies of keeping visual crediting (names and such in the content of the guide) to a minimum. Remember that your contributions have been saved in the history, and will remain there indefinitely unless there is some sort of legal violation with the content. However, just a comment, didn't you write the guide here first? --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 20:29, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

| == Merge Contra? ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi Garrett. I noticed the hard work you did to change and rearrange Contra, but I was thinking about it. The difference between the Arcade version and the NES version really isn't as big as everyone thinks. The only ''major'' difference between the two games is that the last four stages in the NES version is actually one gigantic stage in the arcade version. That's really it. it still has the same bosses, so technically, each stage in the NES version is still a "leg" in the arcade stage. The other difference is that the underground bases in the arcade version "twist and turn", but that only affects the non-fighting portions of the stage. Other than that, everything else is identical; the enemies, the controls, the power-ups, etc. By comparison, the guide I'm writing for [[Dragon Buster]] has many more differences between the Arcade and the Famicom version, but I'm still containing them in one guide because despite a slight difference in how the inventory system works, and a few enemies, the game is essentially the same. What do you think? '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 19:39, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
