Even though my next update will be something different, I'll still be ripping them for quite a while, let me explain:
- My first rips on tSR were from Master System/Game Gear games (Back in December 2006, I done two which are still on the site today) so they have always been around since the beginning with breaks in between.
- I have rips from Prince of Persia and Masters of Combat (the last unique fighting game on the console) that need to be finished if I have time and motivation plus I have a few that I might consider like Vigilante. Just need to do enough so it can be sustainable on the site.
- There are so few rippers ripping the console due to not many people grew up with it, there was one point that I had to teach another person to rip a sheet (Psychic World) and had to finish the sheet but then again my ripping skills to be honest are pretty bad. Rather like the Genesis, people only care about the Sonic games and a few other games (like Phantasy Star).
- I am waiting for the remaining Korean games to be released (most are dumped but currently hoarded) which means that I will get to rip The General's Son (a side scrolling beat em up) and the later version of Jang Pung 2.
- MS/GG games are more easier to rip and as the saying goes, get the easy rips out of the way so you can focus on the harder ones. Most don't even need disassembly (except the Mortal Kombat series, a couple of Taz games), just TileMolester and Meka. I won't be ripping every game due to some have a language barrier, hardly any sprites, games that use the SG-1000 mode (F-16 Fighting Falcon, Sherlock Holmes, Adventure Kid), Korean MSX ports, plus I wouldn't rip Alf and The Flintstones which are considered the two worst games for the system, the latter can even make the happiest person in the world become sucidal.
Knowing my unpredictable pattern however, I'll probably would end up ripping something else. Also I have a surprise on the way if I have the time
