 Okay, this is the first time I have posted anywhere on these forums. Dr. Unne, I have been a long-time fan of your site(s). I think I discovered them when I was in, oh, seventh or eighth grade, which I believe was sometime in 2001. Since then, I followed faithfully, and always found entertainment and a crapload of use in your walkthroughs, etc. Then you disappeared around 2004, and I have had to rely on a mirror of your old site until now, when I finally discovered the new version. Your site inspired me to eventually buy a new working NES, and especially to replay what has always been my favorite game nearly my entire life (I mean, crap, I learned to read off of this thing. Probably the first word I could ever read was "Terminated.") I just finished DoS about a week ago, and as much as I didn't like it (much too easy, screwed with a lot of the names [Gigas = wtf], stupid pool of magic), I would concur that the addition of DoS stat differences and such would be quite welcome, as well as perhaps a chart that shows the before and after of the names, since sometimes I couldn't tell what some weapons were. The version of the strategy guide in the downloads section doesn't seem to be the full version, or maybe a different version, since I remember using one as a kid (that is long lost) that included stuff waaayy past Gurgu Volcano, which is where yours stops. It also had some awesome artwork. Perhaps you could post that as well? And, one last thing (for this has become rather long): Does Warmech even frikkin appear in DoS. Cuz I've been wandering around that hall for forever and still I get nothing.

| Thanks for following the site. I'm glad someone gets use out of it. Warmech is in DoS from what I remember. I think they probably tweaked the monster encounter rates. In the NES if you wandered around for enough battles you were 100% guaranteed to find Warmech, because the encounter table was just an unchanging list that was incremented through. The remakes seem to be more truly random. But I don't know this for sure. The strategies page is somewhat out of date (like much of the rest of the site). It could do with some updates. I will add it to The List. I am adding remake info as I get the time. Sadly I work all day and I'm in the process of moving a few thousand miles west, so that may disrupt some of my FF1 website plans. I recently put all the remakes' monster names into my DB, but I haven't uploaded it yet. I'm working on making a whole new, updated and more detailed walkthrough using the DoS version. Might take some time though. I think most of the fanart I used to have is probably not going to be reposted. Keeping fanart updated was too much work and at this point I'd have to track down too many people to get their permission to post all their artwork again. Probably not doable for most of it.

| Well, actually, I wasn't referring to the Strategies section, but the strategy guide in the Downloads section. The one you have available for download is a different thing, I'm not sure what, though. I was just wondering if you could somehow get a hold of the Nintendo Power Strategy Guide or whatever it was. Here, I found the cover online:  I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is the whole strategy guide, that goes from the beginning all the way to Chaos. I, however, know for a fact that there is a guide that goes all the way to the end, so it should be out there somewhere even if this isn't it.

| Ah yes, Warmech is there, though he's renamed Death Machine and it seems like he's a lot harder to find. Anyway, the reason I made this post. I noticed that your "Remakes" enemy rips were pretty incomplete, and I've ripped all of them and will have them organized (by sprites and their recolours) by tonight. I was wondering if you'd like me to send them to you, or if you had already ripped them and just not updated. Fun fact: The enemy sprites are actually part of the background. I was wondering how they had so much detail in the WSC version.

| FF1BlackMage14: I own a copy that guide actually. It was largely the basis for the first version of my site a good 8 years ago. Much of the information in that guide is inaccurate. Did I really used to have it for download on my site? I can't recall. I know I don't have a scanned copy of it now. What I have in my downloads section now is the instruction manual and maps that came with FF1 when you bought it. The instruction manual included a walkthrough up to the Volcano I think. MetoolX597: I have all the sprites from the WSC version (I shouldn't be missing any); I don't have any from the DoS version. I will gladly take DoS sprites if you have them. I have not yet ripped them myself. What method did you use for ripping them?

| That would be Visual Boy Advanced using a complete bestiary. Pretty simple actually, for all of the enemies in the game. Just organizing them that takes some time. Speaking of, would you like me to separate the sprites that are new to DoS into individual images, give a big sheet that's just a sprawl of all the monsters, or just give them to you as I had planned to upload them (all of the sprites and their recolours in the same image)? Edit: Well, here's how I planned to do it. I can reorganize if necessary, but if not: LINK Terribly sorry about the lack of transparency, but the only program that would allow me to do it in a reasonable amount of time wasn't working.
