It's EarthBound. Like how "Nintendo GameCube" is officially spelled.

 Nintendo Power says otherwise.  But I digress. It's not really important. |

As far as I'm concerned, the more familiar name is more important. I've never seen anyone refer to it as Earth Bound (two words) outside of that original news piece. Everyone calls it Earthbound or EarthBound. Or EarthBound Zero... But we can ignore that one.
Remember, magazines are sometimes wrong too.

Looks great, Fry! Enjoyed the Color TV Game piece - any chance of screen grabs of the games?

I don't mean to alarm you all, but... It's Another Update!This time Game Boy has received the update treatment, with new game lists, new hardware page and a page about the cancelled games (I had 2 in my list before, but turns out I was missing a bunch). Also, while writing this I got out my boxed original model Game Boy I purchased a couple of years ago. I didn't realise at the time, but it came with an untouched original link cable and headphones, which are still sealed in a little bag! Shame the Game Boy itself is a bit knackered. Someone sent me some grainy screenshots from Color TV Game 6 years ago, but I seem to have misplaced them. I'm sure they could be easily mocked up though. |

More good stuff, there, Fry.  I like the way you've broken the games up by genre on the main page. |

Keep "alarming" us, Fry. For forum people like us, the first place we'd visit would be the forum and this way we can check updates without looking into the main site to see what has happened there.
Anyone with any graphic program can make up Color TV screens. I don't think clean screenshots are common; but shots of the TV showing the game aren't uncommon at all.
It's great to see these pages coming back with even more info. Nice idea on using GBC colour schemes on the GB games too; but would you use SGB scehems for games compatible with that? You used the SGB scheme in KDL2 and G&WG1, but not DK94, which looks a bit unusual to me.

I think my favourite bits from across my many designs are coming together. I wish I had every week off work! Look how much I'm getting done! Such as the Tokimeki Highschool gamepage and walkthough I just added to the site. I thought I had finished huge updates to the All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. and Dokidoki Panic pages a while ago, but they still need a fair amount of work. I will probably go back and make some alterations to the game guides I did last year to fix them as well. The intention is to use the SGB colour schemes where available, but that means retaking all of the screenshots, which is a right pain in the bum, and not top of my agenda. |

Wow - had no idea about that game. Interesting stuff. That's why I like this site! |

Looking good, and finally a new update!
I'm kinda missing the old game-lists though, those where games where sorted by first release, regardless of region. While these are more functional, the old ones made a more complete timeline which I will be missing.

Holy Crapoli! Even More Updates You Say?Long overdue updates to Dokidoki Panic and All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. just went online. And with that, that's the last of my stockpiled big updates. So... I guess Super Famicom & SNES next!

Seeing the ANNSMB page again gave me some new information. It was quite a while ago that I read that info, and I was rather surprised to see Beat Takeshi in the game - because he seemed to have a liking to make nigh unbeatable games.

Hehe, sorry I guess Love the Doki Doki panic page! One thing I always wondered is if Nintendo created the heroes, or if they existed before. I have tried to find images of them, but I never found anything that wasn't from or related to the game. |

They were based on mascots or a TV show or something.

The Doki Doki Panic page was nice. IIRC, there was one change from SMB2 that you didn't mention, and isn't immediately obvious: The albino Mouser in W5 was replaced with, IIRC, Clawgrip. Can anyone verify this?
The sprite changes to the enemies are pretty cool. I've known about them, but have never seen them.
