GREAT guide!!!! What a pleasure to read and look at, seriously
@ Darkcity: Ys Special Edition was never sold, he gave away CD-Rs to anyone who sent him a SASE. I have one or two copies (he gave me an extra one, though I may have sent it to my brother).
It was very kool idea to play Ys with different music ... though I can't remember actually playing the game (I just listened to the Redbook audio tracks). At the time, I hadn't heard any of the different versions of Ys tunes, just the TG-CD games, so it was a blast to hear new versions.
Speaking of the Valis pages (I love 'em too... I can't think of any other Valis pages out there) -- The last time I contacted darkman was when I stumbled across a Valis strategy guide on ebay. It was $20 and he was hoping to find a cheaper auction. Shortly after that he totally stopped updating his site.
