I hope you enjoy reviewing it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

And then nobody posts for two days.

I found this very informative, though I'm not sure about the lists of bosses' names, sometimes with no acompanying detail.

Some external links would be good; a quick Google suggests that there are some decent fan sites around.

I liked it also, no suggestions!

I watch the cartoon with my son, but we've never played the game - it sounds fun.

So external links?

I don't know about boss info. Maybe one of the links would have a more in depth look at the bosses and boss strategy?

What do you think?

Where depth in game coverage is concerned I tand to look at GameFAQs; there does seem to be quite a lot of stuff in http://www.gamefaqs.com/search/index.html?game=rockman&x=0&y=0 . Not very pictorial, though, and a lot of information to wade through.

Otherwise, from the first page of a Google search:

Coverage at Planet Mega Man appears quite variable: compare http://www.planet-megaman.com/mm/megaman/megaman1.php and http://www.planet-megaman.com/mm/megaman8/bosses.php .

http://mmco.megaman-network.com/charbios/ has boss coverage, but, again, without images.

http://www.megaman.co.uk is another possibility.

www.mmhp.net doesn't seem too hot on boss coverage, but is possibly worth considering as a general link.

I was thinking http://mmco.megaman-network.com/ because of its story analysises... so hmmm....

The bosses tend to be rather two dimensional charecters in the MM classic series. I'll see if i can find pictures.

How did this pass me by? I'm the one who suggested EC should submit it.

Anyway, a link section would be good. Just three or four to external sites.

GodBen you are, and will always be, a big help ! So the overwhelming consensus is links then...

I always thought I was a big gobsh*te, not a big help.

Not to me GodBen. Not to me

I'll have to try harder then.

This is probably not the best place to discuss this...

Well hurry up and add the links then so that we can move on and critisise something else.

*takes a flying leap into thread to bring it back under control*

First things first...you can't have that subheader right at the beginnning. Always start an entry with a paragraph. If you're starting with a subheader there's something odd going on.

There's also some spelling issues and the like dotted around. Perhaps chuck the entry through Word or something? (Make sure it's set to British English)

Titles and the like need to either be in inverted commas or italics.

However this is a good start. I look forward to seeing this with the changes.

A good thing (though I hate to admit it of course) would be to look at A3795627 which is GB's GTA entry (which I sent back to the italics yesterday by the way). It might give you an idea of how to bulk out and detail this entry a bit more.

Good luck

My entry is being used as an example?!

Shhhh don't tell GB, he'll get all excited and bouncy.

Besides...if your entry is so fab...then start being constructive about this one

You mean . . . help other people?

Hmmm.... I have to have it typed in British English?

*nods*
Yup, this is the BBC ya know

Let us know when you've done all those things (did you ever put the links in?), what you haven't changed etc.
