Here's some more stuff I noticed that needs fixing.

Easter Egg errors (AKA check your facts before you print them):
Altered Beast: "For extra lives" should be replaced with "For 2 extra units of health"
Double Dragon: "on the first screen of round 4, do 20-30 leaping reverse kicks" The actual number of kicks you need to do is only 10
Monopoly: "this game is most famous for not being able to say "no" to buying a property" If you set the buying price to 0, you don't have to buy.
Sonic the Hedgehog: this code dosen't work, in fact, it's a code for the Genesis version, exept someone replaced "A" with "1". The SMS doesn't have a start button.
Wonderboy: "press 1,1,2,2 1+2" For clarity, you should state that it's 1,1,2,2, then hold 1+2.
Wonderboy in Monster Land: the level select code doesn't work, because it's actually the code for Wonderboy 1. And the "Japanese version" code has pretty much been proven a fake.

Also:
Miracle Warriors: "in fact, the only other RPG's we can think of besides Phantasy star and Wonderboy 3 weren't released in the states" Since when is WB3 an RPG?, and what about Y's and others?
Montezuma's Revenge: contrary to what you wrote, this DOES work with the power base converter, it's a Genesis joystick pinout conflict that won't let it play. It works fine if you use a SMS pad, or if you cut the wire to pin 7 on the Genny pad.
Rambo 3 "this title was a packed into the light phaser master system" should read "was packed"

Hey Keith,
YOU have the SMS section... can you make these changes and just send the file back to me for the "master" DB?

BTW the SMS section was previously edited by Clint Dyer, who has pretty much abandoned this hobby. He worked at Sega for years though and had lots of good info, it never seemed necessary to check his tricks b/c he would get most of them from the "inside". As we all know though, a programmer's recollection of a trick they put in a game is often FAR from perfectly accurate.

So I trust you implicitly with this section! Also wondering how you made out with updates to the Euro SMS section.

So update me! Let me know here or e-mail me...

That reminds me, what ever happened to Clint? I wanted to ask him a few questions about his time at Sega, but as you said he sorta dissappeared one day.

He's still around ICQ. Look him up - I don't have his number with me - he's online quite a lot.

Yeah, I was just making sure you'd get that stuff in time for the admendumumunumn. As for that list, Captain Planet is widely believed to not exist. And there's still the mystery of Hook, which appears online as a rom, but no one's ever claimed to have a copy of it! The section's gonna take me a while, I'm compiling data for the Euro rarity list, and to have a good accuracy on the rarity numbers, I'm gonna note EVERY SMS game on ALL the EURO Ebay Auctions, including the lots for a few months. Though I can tell you already that Sonic 1 and 2 are tied for the most common Euro game, and The Ninja is in second place for most common.

Keith, if you just make the corrections above and send me the file that should be good enough for the addendum. The Euro stuff we'll address later. Sound OK?
