Under construction This page and its contents are a work in progress.  These are the guides that are complete, more or less.

(For a more up-to-date status report, see the Status/To Do page.)

Questions or comments about the pages or the guides may be directed to insectoid (at) budwin (dot) net; please put IWP: in the subject line.  I do appreciate the feedback, folks, both good and bad.  However, any spam mail will be subject to immediate de-resolution!

Notes about file formats:

TXT — Plain-text, and meant to be viewed in a monospace (fixed-width) font, preferably with Unicode support.  (Courier New and Lucida Console are examples.)

ODT — These documents are all in OpenOffice Writer (.odt) format.  If you don't have OpenOffice, go to openoffice.org—it's free, and can read and save (most) Microsoft Office documents.

HTML — These guides are taken either from existing TXT or ODT documents and re-worked into web pages, so that they are more universally compatible.


Super Nintendo (SNES)

Super Metroid (Metroid 3)
Guide and walkthrough, with checklists, tips and tricks, and more.  When I get the time, I'll start transcribing this to the HTML guide.  In the meantime, there is also a formatted OpenOffice version.
Guide TXT, v1.1   

100%

Complete.  Makes heavy use of Unicode symbols for dividers and such.
Guide ODT, v1.1   

100%

Complete.  Uses the Lucida Console font, but Courier New also works.
Guide HTML, v0.6  

63%

In progress.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Basic guide, with hints for some of the levels.  I intend to revise it to include info on the GBA port.

Guide HTML, v0.1

Checklist ODT, v1.0   

100%

2-player checklist for marking down which secret exits you've done (the original SNES game doesn't have a built-in chart for keeping track, like the GBA version).  It's also good for 1P games.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Intended to be a complete guide and walkthrough.  A large number of graphics were created for the HTML version.
Guide ODT, v0.3   

30%

Incomplete.  Shelved for now, though I should probably convert this back to plain-text, complete it, and then start transcribing it to HTML, like I'm doing with the Super Metroid guide.
Guide HTML, v0.3  

30%

Shelved until I complete the plain-text version.
Checklist ODT, v1.0

Checklist for items, objectives, and Pieces of Heart.  I'll incorporate this into the HTML guide in due time.
