Part One: Intro
[1-1] A forward from the author
This looks like this is going to be the final version of this FAQ/Player's
Guide. I have finally put in the Christmas NiGHTS info into this document,
and unless Sega feels like pulling some weird thing out of their hats,
this is it. I also got off my lazy butt and did a text version. Texting
a HTML doc is harder than the other way around. =(. Until next time, enjoy
the NiGHTS.... -Dipper
[1-2] About the NiGHTS Playing Guide/FAQ
This was done out of the spare time of the two of us, and we don't know
everything. If you also know of another Player's Guide (I know, this looks
like an FAQ), for the sake of redunancy, I would also like to know. If
you have anything to add, please see the outro section, expecially if you
can answer one of my unanswered questions.
The reason that I wrote this was because I felt the other ones out there
were really thin on information. Mostly to help people through the japanese
in the game manual. This game deserved better. So with my wealth of knowledge
(heh) I contacted Dustin, who had written one his site and co-authered
another one. He's had a part in 3 of these documents, you would think he
knew everything. Oh well.
[1-3] Where to get the NiGHTS Player's Guide/FAQ
The NiGHTS HTML FAQ is mirrored at:
http://www.erols.com/rdustin/saturn/saturn.html
http://www.sega-saturn.com
http://shell.idt.net/~edlc19/saturn.htm
http://www.infinet.com/~keichena/qframe.htm
It will also be anywhere I run a page. Right now, that's nowhere.
The NiGHTS TXT FAQ is mirrored at:
http://www.gamefaqs.com (pending posting)
Again, this will also be anywhere I run a page.
If you have any other places where this guide is avabile, or that you would
like to tell me about someplace that could use it, or you want to make
a text version, contact one of us and we'll add it. It is on no FTP, BBS,
or UseNet sites that I know up. Now that NiGHTS is one of Sega's flagship
games now (and about the only non-arcade one =( ), this guide will
be posted on a monthly basis to rec.games.video.sega.
