A few fixes and additions to report:
The missing sprites on the X-Men and Double Dragon sprite pages were uploaded.
Catwoman's 80's mini-logo was added to the Mini-logos page like it was supposed to be. Mini-logos for the Joker and Marvel's Black Cat were also added
The tip descriptions on the Golden Axe tip page was also fixed. The tips were right.

ScrollBoss is 8 years old!
19 Jul 2008 by PrimeOp
|
It's ScrollBoss' 8th Anniversary! My ability to put together special content for this update was cut short by my original PC's failure. Now that I have the files from the old system on the NewOld computer, I've made some improvements to the site. Here's what's new and improved.
Game Index - This brand new feature gathers nearly all of ScrollBoss' content related to a single game. Pick a game and find links to the sprites, sprite edits, review, mentions in the Minus World, M.U.G.E.N. stages, tips, external links and more. Some have features that others don't because I'm still unsure about what the final version of this section will look like. There are only 6 games for now but I'll try to make it a solid, convenient addition to the site.
Graphics - There are new Sprites (Ninja Warriors Again and Double Dragon 2 arcade), a few new Sprite Edits (Double Dragon, Growl and more), Logos and Mini-Logos. You expected that. What you didn't expect is that the Sprite and Sprite Edit start pages now tell you what's been updated and when it was added. Speaking of graphics, check out those crazy rectangular pics with the games on them. I used similar graphics in the MugenBoss game index pages, but they've all been redone and most look a lot better.
Artwork - A redrawn pic of Linda from Double Dragon was added to the ScrollBoss Gallery on Illmosis.
RSS Feed - FINALLY. People have been asking me to add this for a while and it's finally here. Check it out and add it to your "useless sites" feed! From now on, ScrollBoss will no longer keep a regular schedule except that the updates will be on a Wednesday. For the most part, they'll still be every two weeks but there will be some exceptions. If you want to stay up to date about when the updates drop, subscribe to the RSS feed.
There was a lot of code fixing, design clean-up and other minor stuff that took major time to do. The new style of side menus were added to more sections and I've added more of those little (link) functions so sites and message board posts can go straight to certain sections.
Most importantly, I'd like to thank everyone that visits the site, links to it or finds it useful somehow. As fun as this is, it's also hard to do at times and the fact that people dig the site is the only reason that I keep working on it. Through revivals like Bionic Commando, Golden Axe and Splatterhouse along with lots of older game content showing up in compilations and downloadable content, the kinds of games we enjoy are back. We're even getting a new regular Mega Man game with an NES look! So enjoy this second coming and I hope you keep enjoying this site.

No updates until July 19th
25 Jun 2008 by PrimeOp

The USB Hard Drive Enclosure that I need to get ScrollBoss off the old hard drive is on it's way. Even though I copied ScrollBoss off the Dreamhost servers onto my new system, the version on my hard drive had a few things that were much better that hadn't been uploaded yet. There's almost no sense in trying to add updates when I'm not 100% sure if I'm adding things to a proper version of a page.
I'm holding off until July 19th for two reasons. For one thing, it'll be the 8th Anniversary of the site. I was trying to get some special things finished for that, but the computer issues have hurt what I'll have done by then. The other thing is that I want to find out what's causing the random freezes on this new used machine. So I'll just save a lot of new things for a big anniversary update. So come back July 19th to see more improvements to the site, expanded sprite galleries and a surprise or two.

Micro-update: Logos and Links
18 Jun 2008 by PrimeOp
|
Updates to the site will continue to be tiny until I get some issues worked out with this new used computer that I have. That includes getting the stuff off of the old computer. Plus, I have a lot of commissioned artwork to do. Still, here's a tiny bit of newness:
Logos
Double Dragon arcade, ripped from the tiles for the sake of accuracy since the dragons and the lettering share the same black in the screenshots. Plus Gaia Crusaders and some Shadow Dancer variants.
Mini-Logos
Final Fight, Double Dragon (gold bevel version)
Tutorials
Added more links to the Tutorial index page including useful emulator links.
Links
G-Mode's official Data East website has been added to the Official Links section. Check out the cute lil' Peter Pepper artwork sprinkled throughout the site. AWWWWWWWW. Also added Grand NEStral Station (a link hub for NES-related sites) and the hub section of RANDOM HOO HAS.

Microscopic Final Fight sprite update and more
11 Jun 2008 by PrimeOp
|
First of all, I'd like to thank Retro Warp for adding ScrollBoss to the 'Friends of Retro Warp' list. If you haven't checked it out yet, go there now because it's fully win flavored. ou won't be missing much here. I added it to the Quick Links section that's in the side navigation menu and I'll try to get a link banner made for them once this new computer works 100%.
The Final Fight 1 page has a few additions. Shadi from the Capcom Arcade Shrine reminded me that I didn't have Uncle Andore or the Molotov version of Hollywood. Thankfully, this new computer doesn't crash when I use Kawaks' Shot Factory in Final Fight so I could get those two and add them. There's even an animated version of Molotov Hollywood with a burning bottle.
