Ninja Gaiden is still on my to-do list, I think I have a couple of games to update before I get to this one. Nearly there...

Update : Damn ! you're totally right, I initially put this one on hold because... I never scanned it ! I'll do that at the end of December, when I'll be with my *beloved* collection :)

More updates and manuals:

Granzort - PC Engine
Wonderboy III Monster Lair - PC Engine

As a side note, I've included a new ad for Monster Lair (in the Omake section) that uses a different illustration than the final release of the game ! It features 'older characters', this is an interesting find I think, Hudson probably decided to make them look 'cuter' before release to attract a larger audience or something...

That alternate ad is really interesting, I don't think I've seen that before - the cuter characters that they used later are a better match for the game graphics.

Great updates, Ikermel. :)

I have a couple editing notes for ya, too. For now, just on the Monster Lair write up:

I could only spot a couple minor mistakes:

- The legendary amour and weapons of valor have been stolen and the thieves have vanished without a trace. Just when all hopes appear to be lost,

You just forgot the "r" in armour, and I believe it should read "Just when all hope appears to be lost,..."

I'll keep adding more edits as I go through them. I'm just on a major Wonderboy kick right now and read that one right away. heh

@sunteam_paul

Yeah, I really like this alternate ad, but I also think the cuter characters fit the game a lot better - I found it in a Gekkan from August 1989, which is exactly when Monster Lair was released :)

@ceti alpha

Thanks mate ! I really appreciate your edits, as always. A Wonderboy kick ? Are you going through all the Monster World as well ?

Well, I have New Adventure Island (Wonderboy for my purposes ;)) and Bikkuriman World (Wonderboy in Monsterland) under my belt. Just working on Dragon's Curse right now. :)

Very minor edits. :)

1. ...and a student of the Oh-Lin school of martial arts - Add the "s" to art.

2. One day, the warriors of the Dragon God went... - Add "e" to On.

3. The bald and axe-swinging monk doesn't have much choice; he must now go through five long areas, and save the children and reclaim the Oh-Lin scrolls. - Just added a semicolon between "choice and he". Added "and" before save.

4. Lee comes equipped with an axe - a weapon of limited range and accuracy. - Just added a dash, instead of the comma. They're two independent clauses and the dash serves as a stronger punctuation.

5. Other special items are also available for the taking - Health Bottles, Invincibility Crystal Balls, Lives, keys (to unlock spedial doors) or Capcom's trademark POW icon - which upgrades Lee's current weapon. - There were a lot of commas, so I just separated the weapon list from the sentence with a couple of dashes.

----------

Some of the reviews I read about this game say the collision detection in this game is absolutely terrible. But there's just something about this game. I remember it from the arcade and I'd like to see how the TG/PCE fairs.

Thanks for the uploads, Ikermel. :)

Thanks a lot for the edits Ceti ! :D

No problem. :)

But don't thank me too soon. I actually noticed an error in one of my edit suggestions.   :-" :lol:

3. The bald and axe-swinging monk doesn't have much choice; he must now go through five long areas, and save the children and reclaim the Oh-Lin scrolls. - Just added a semicolon between "choice and he". Added "and" before save.

That "and" before "save the children" is not needed. You can keep the comma, but remove the "and".

So here is what it should read like:

Sorry for the confusion, Ikermel.  :oops:  :lol:
