NGF Mailbag - Edition #5
Feb. 1st, 2001

Got a question, a rant, or just feel like seeing your letter in print? Forward all questions & letters to adrian@vgf.com.

From: <JSch867154@aol.com>

We have an old Gemini system we are trying to set up again, and cannot find the power plug. The Radio Shack here doesn't seem to have one to fit. Do you know the specifications needed for this plug? If not, any suggestions on where I could find them?

Thank you for your time. - Joe

It appears I may soon need to open a section for Ebay.com Handicaps.

If ebay doesn’t work for you, I suggest you use Altavista to do a search. I am not familiar with the system you refer to, so I can’t really be of much help.

What N64/SNES games would you recommend for a good, steady (but not impossible) challenge? I've grown agitated with my current collection, none of which took me more than a week to beat.

Well, it would have helped to see a handful of your favorite titles, but I’ll give this a shot.

I suggest, for longevity of the actual game:

Either Zelda title
Ogre Battle 64
Spider Man
Rayman 2
Harvest Moon 64
Body Harvest (it’s not the best game, but it’s only $10 at most Toys ‘R’ Us locations and it certainly takes a while to beat)

For replayability:

Mario Golf
Mario Tennis
Starcraft 64 (though you obviously have a PC and the PC version is far superior)
Excitebike 64
Wipeout 3
Star Wars Episode 1: Racer
Diddy Kong Racing

For replayability, in the sense that there are many things to do and unlock that aren’t required to complete the game:

Goldeneye
Perfect Dark
TWINE
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Banjo-Kazooie or Tooie
Jet Force Gemini
Donkey Kong 64

I’d also recommend you avoid:

Pokémon Snap!
Any wrestling game

Hi,

Do you know where I can find a map of the game publishing world (something that looks like the family tree of game publishers with all the mergers, acquisitions etc..).

Your help will be appreciated.

Jonathan Pantanowitz

Sure...because that won’t be sixty pages long. I don’t think anyone has ever tried to put something like that together, and if they did, it would take a few years. I have a couple of other things to do for the next decade, so I don’t think we can help you.

Thanks for your interest!

Dear Sir or Madam, This is my first time in the site and I like it. I have some question about the Buffy the vampire slayer for Playstation. First when is it supposed to be relesed.I've been checking fox interactive site and it says is SPRING2001. My second question is what will it be rated? I figure T (teen) since the vampire turn into dust (nothing bloody about that). I could be wrong and it could be like soul Reaver and still be bloody and gory. If you could answer my questions I'd be grateful. If its to early to say thank you for your time.

Sincerly,

Patrick Van Dyke

Well, first of all, I should think that from my attitude it was perfectly clear that I am a sir. Secondly, the spelling of my name is most definitely the masculine version. The female is Adrienne. Are we clear? I said; ARE WE CLEAR!!??

As for Buffy, well, I can’t help you. So sorry, but all my other sources were under the impression that Buffy would be out by the end of 2000, so the spring release makes your guess as good as ours. It will most likely have a teen rating, since it appears from all the screenshots that the vamps just explode into dust. However, keep in mind that the vampires have a pretty gory pastime themselves, so the rating may go up a notch. Especially since the WB clearly states that the show is intended for their older viewers, so the people behind the game know exactly who their target audience is.

my brother and myself have been trying to beat the wizard on Zelda a link to the past on the super Nintendo for quite some time and we were wondering if you could help in any way example:cheats,hints and,or codes. could you please help us by emailing me ASAP at stubbyman12@hotmail.com

yours truly Aaron and Ronald.

Well Aaron, I’m sorry I didn’t get to you earlier, but I’ve been working on some items for the site not related to the mailbag. However, I encourage everyone who has these questions to....screw this. You jagoffs know who you are and what website I’m going to send you to, so that’s it. I’m not saying it anymore. I’m starting a new section; The Gamefaqs.com handicapped. This is the inaugural issue.

Next!

_______________________________________

Welcome to the Gamefaqs.com Handicapped section! This will transcend the various sections of VGF, allowing everyone to view the shameful incompetence purveyed by owners of all systems right here in the Nintendo corner of our little world.

And now, on to the twits!

man, i bought this game scooby doo classic creep capers, and i can't get past the first level! normally i beat almost anything put before me. its an alright game if you like scooby doo. that was my favorite cartoon when I was little. if you can help me, send me anything to beat it, or just get past the first level..oh yeah, i forgot to tell you its for the n64..

First of all, why in the world would you purchase anything with Scooby-Doo on it? Thanks for telling me which system it’s for, that will help you when you finally figure out what website you’re supposed to be visiting. Note which section of the mailbag you have fallen under.

Scooby-doo. Sheesh.

yes i have a question about a game that i own. i have a sega dreamcast and the game that i love to play is wwf attitude but im having a little problem with it im playing the career mode and i can't figure out how the hell to call my run-in-partner in to help me when im gettin my ass beat can you please help me? thanks!

First off, you deserve to be beaten like a bag of powdered eggs for playing a wrestling game to begin with. Secondly, look where you are! Third, do you understand the concept behind the ‘shift’ button Spanky? I might have been able to keep you out of this shameful subset of the mailbag if it weren’t for the fact that I absolutely refuse to give any money to the idiocy that is ‘professional’ wrestling, and therefore haven’t played any of these freakin’ games. But don’t feel too bad, you’re surrounded by friends.

_______________________________________

From: "Earthlink" <father32@earthlink.net>

did you get my questions yet? Please send me the codes back? Thank U

Again, I say thee nay! Take heed young miscreant, of the section you have been relegated to in this mailbag edition!

Begone!

From: "Chris Burke" <bumrocky@qwestonline.com>

Hi. I just bought a refurbed NES, and I got the ultimate game, Zelda! It's been years since I've played this classic, and I can't remember where several things are. Do you know where I can find a players guide or walkthrough to this game? (assuming any still exist) Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Welcome to my new favorite section! Does anyone bother reading previous mailbag before submitting? Or perhaps trying a ***king search engine once in a while? Is that so much to ask? Is it?!

All right, you don’t seem quite as vapid as some of the other submissions, but come on people, use the tools that are out there.

i need to either get some inf o from you guys about D-@ on dream cast im on the second disc and i cand find the code words for the obzervatory or the pass word to the pharmasy or if you could send me a walk through i would be great thank

Did you mean ‘D2’ genius? Normally I get to complain about the lack of shift-key use, which is a crime of laziness you have also perpetrated, but now I see that people who don’t know when to let it go are just as god-awfully annoying. To round out your litany of shortcomings, you actually expect me to assemble a walk-through and send it to you? Ugh...I’ve seen too much.

How do you access the cheat menu on MADDEN 2001 for Playstation? I have tons of codes for the game but I cant find the cheat or code menu.

And the hits just keep on coming!

Yet another addition to the largest growing demographic here at the mailbag!
