Site Updates

Friday, May 7, 2021
Hello, everyone. No, I didn't die on the bike tour. I just haven't updated this site for a while. The blog I kept for the tour is still up in anyone is interested.
I haven't made any significant updates, but I've fixed up a few things. My site should now work properly through HTTPS, and page elements on the top and side of my site shouldn't be getting jumbled anymore.
I've also removed my contact page. My apologies to anyone who has emailed me in the last few years, but I haven't been monitoring this email account in a long time, and I don't intend to start doing so any time soon.
I hope everyone is staying safe during this time of pandemic.

Hey, everyone! This summer I'll be participating in a bike tour across North America to raise money and awareness to help fight poverty. Unfortunately, that means I won't be able to spend very much time on my site over the next several months, but it's for a great cause. I need to raise at least $10000, so please consider sponsoring me. You can do so here. Every little bit helps. You can find more information about the bike tour here. I've also started a blog to document my preparation for the tour and to help raise money. Please visit. Thanks!

I'm sorry I haven't been updating my site very often lately, but I've been busy with other stuff. I've gone through my Genesis guides and cleaned them up like I had done for my NES guides last year.
Although there hasn't been much new activity on my site for the past while, there's no need to be concerned that it will disappear any time soon. I make enough money from the ads to pay all my hosting costs, so I have no reason to take down the site.
Saturday, Jul 21, 2012
I've gone over all my NES guides and cleaned them up. Specifically, I've redone all my maps to make them look a little cleaner and have added watermarks to them, since many people have been copying them to other sites within my permission and without giving me credit. I spent a lot of time on the Zelda maps in particular, so they should be much easier to use. I've also moved the list of maps to the root page for each game to speed up navigation. Finally, I've added quick links to the top of each walkthrough so you can jump quickly to the section you're looking for.
Saturday, Dec 10, 2011
My site was looking a little dated, so I've given it a more modern look. I've left the layout basically the same, so it should still be easy to navigate. I've also removed the link at the bottom of most pages to a printable version of the page. Instead, each page can now be printed directly.
I've also created a guide for Lagoon, one of the first action-RPGs for the Super Nintendo.
Saturday, Jun 4, 2011
It's taken me a while, but I've finally finished redoing my 7th Saga guide. I've added a lot of missing information, corrected incorrect information, and added detailed maps of the world and every town and dungeon.
Thursday, Nov 25, 2010
A new guide for Sword of Vermilion has been uploaded. This unique RPG features real-time battles and mixes 1st and 3rd person perspectives.

I've redone my guide for Willow, adding maps for every area and dungeon and have added a bestiary and a list of game characters and experience levels.
Wednesday, May 5, 2010
I've finished a guide for Risen. This game is made by the same developer that made the Gothic games, so if you enjoyed them, then I definitely recommend you give Risen a try.
Wednesday, Jan 20, 2010
I've created maps of all the dungeons and towns for Mystic Quest and made several other miscallaneous improvements to the guide.
Wednesday, Aug 26, 2009
I've redone my Destiny of an Emperor guide. The maps have all been redone, an item list has been added, and portaits of all the characters in the game have been added as well.
Also, I've split my guides list in two. The first section lists my full, high-quality guides, while the second section lists the guides that are incomplete.
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
The Crystalis guide has been redone. Several new things have been added including lists of magic spells and enemies and maps for all the towns and dungeons.
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
I've created a guide for the classic PC RPG Gothic. This is one of my favorite RPGs! Though a little buggy, it has one of the most open and interactive worlds you'll ever see with a great setting and interesting characters.
Monday, Feb 16, 2009
I've replaced the text manuals in my Manuals section with scans of the manuals in pdf format. Text versions of the manuals were required when I started my website many years ago since everyone was using dial-up, but that is no longer the case.
Saturday, Jan 17, 2009

Monday, Jun 30, 2008
I've added Google ads to my site to help cover the costs of maintaining it and have made some changes to the appearance of the left panel, including the removal of the Maps and Links pages. I've also redone my Ultima Exodus section, with new maps of the overworld and of all the towns and dungeons. The walkthrough has been rewritten and several new pages have been added as well.
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Good news! I've decided to begin updating my site again and have been hard at work for the last few months on a new guide for The Witcher.

Saturday, Mar 15, 2008
With the help of a fan, I've been able to restore the lost content. My Dragon Warrior II and Super Mario RPG guides are back up.
Thursday, Feb 7, 2008
My site was down for several weeks as I searched for a new host, but it's up and running again now. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost some stuff along the way, including my Dragon Warrior II and Super Mario RPG guides and several other miscallaneous files.
Tuesday, Aug 15, 2006
As you've probably already noticed, I'm no longer updating this site. It's just too time consuming and I'd rather spend my time on other things. I will continue to keep this site up, but will no longer be adding new game guides, nor will I be making updates to my existing guides.
Saturday, Jan 15, 2005
Well, it's taken a while, but I've finally finished my Neverwinter Nights section. I've spent so much time working on this game, I've gotten quite sick of it, so don't expect me to add any of the expansion packs. Enjoy!
Wednesday, July 07, 2004
I've gone through my Links page, removing bad links and adding a number of new ones. I'm afraid I don't have anything else at the moment, even through it's been almost a year since the last new game. Don't worry, though, I haven't been idle in this time.
Wednesday, September 17, 2003
I've added a new section for Fallout. This was a fun and well-made game!

I apologize for not updating my site in a while and for not answering many emails I had received, but I have been having serious computer problems for the past month. I am slowly getting things up and running again, but it may still be another week or two until things are totally back to normal again.
Thursday, July 4, 2002
I've made some changes to my website. The "Webrings" and "Email Me" links have been removed from the scroll of the left side of screen and I have removed the ads from the tops of all of my pages. Nobody was clicking on any of the ads, so I wasn't making any money off of them. I guess this site will still have to funded from my own pocket.
