Ok, I had a look at the list of games on SMSpower at:
http://www.smspower.org/Games/SMS
And cross-referenced them to the gameFAQs list of SMS games.

These are all the possible games that could be added to the gameFAQs database by odino or others (but need to be investigated fully first of course):

* 45 Hap
* 4-in-1 M202
* 4-IN-1 M205
* Alibaba and 40 Thieves
* Block Hole
* Comic Bakery
* C_So! [MSX]
* Dr. HELLO
* E.I. – Exa Innova
* Galaxian
* Giem Moeumjip 188 Hap
* The Goonies
* Gun.Smoke
* Janggun-ui Adeul
* Jang Pung 2 (which appears on the compilation Piguwang 7 Hap so may have to be listed like Twin Mouse was despite only being on a compilation as far as I can tell)
* Jang Pung 3
* King & Balloon
* Knightmare II: The Maze of Galious
* The Micro Xevious
* Nemesis
* Piguwang 7 Hap (which is a compilation of the Korean dodgeball game, Jang Pung 2, 94 Super World Cup Soccer, Suho Jeonsa, Dinosaur Dooley, Flash Point)
* Pooyan
* Pro Yagu
* Puznic
* Puzzle (which is possibly Puznic)
* Sky Jaguar
* Super Bioman I
* Super Boy I
* Super Boy II
* Super Boy III
* Super Boy 4
* Super Drink
* Tank Battalion
* Xyzolog

Some of these do look dodgy though (like they could be just MSX games rather than definite releases for the SMS) whilst others look more genuine (e.g. Janggun-ui Adeul)

Other games on the SMSpower list were unreleased:
* The A-team
* Color & Switch Test
* Dinobasher – starring Bignose the Caveman
* The Excellent Dizzy Collection
* Game de check! Koutsuu Anzen
* Lethal Weapon 3
* NBA Jam
* M. System III Compact (this might be the hardware)
* Super Basketball

Again some of these are more dodgy than others (A-Team just has music for example, that could have come from anywhere).

So please add the genuine ones to the list now rather than drip-feed them through without telling anyone, so that we know what we are working with.

In addition to the obvious problem of pirate hacks (which also extends to at least one game already on the list--Wonsiin is an unabashed ripoff of The Adventures of Dino Riki for the NES), many of the games on the above list, despite being packaged and sold as SMS games, are actually SG-1000 games that use the SMS' backwards compatibility. This again extends to at least one game on the current list, Doksuri 5 Hyeongjae. I would argue that these games need to be put on the SG-1000 list instead.

See, you all wanted him to have his Internet back to cover a single game. He got the Internet back and has repaid us with more games.

Still, it's better to get the games added while there is a focus on this project and not in a couple of month's time when people have forgot about it. I just hope he doesn't add any cancelled games.


Thank you. I have seen real boxes for the games I added, rest looks more like unofficial MSX ports. I'm quite sure those games all have dumps too. SB (that's not my alt account) wouldn't accept "Canceled" without a link to a proto anyway. Even if you add all those listed above it's not like thaaaaat much extra work. Good thing no Korean text adventures exist.


p.s. I'm a she...play with me on White Knight Chronicles some time to get to know me :) It has voice chat too. (oops now I revealed I'm still online)

Thanks Rob. Can you help us sort through the list of games so that they are all correct (although that may be harder said than done unless you are from Korea). So for example Doksuri 5 Hyeongjae - how can we be sure that it is a SG-1000 game?

And what are the rules on hacked games? One of the games I covered already for the project - Flash Point - was an unlicensed version of a SEGA arcade game (although it was different but the idea was the same as was the name, so maybe this isn't defined as a hack?).

FA Tetris looks like an easy one to do if it is just a Tetris clone. All the text seems to be in English too:
http://www.smspower.org/Games/FATetris-SMS
if anyone wants to knock off a quick guide.

I wonder if Odino got them all this time or whether there are still games out there that aren't on gameFAQs yet? Maybe we should ask her?


I'll claim this one and try and do it this weekend.

Will be doing a news report tomorrow, but thought it should be mentioned that NA and JP games are now complete (once the site is corrected with the remaining "Game" SA compliations).

EDIT: Just noted that the "Game Box Serie Esportes" does not affect NA or JP completion stats.

There is no failure, only feedback.
