When I played MM1, I mapped out the entire game... every square, every special event, everything. In color. Notated.
And sadly, those maps are probably sitting in a landfill somewhere, because I haven't seen them in about six moves.
I got the MM1-5 cheat manual (okay, strategy guide), but all it offered for MM1 & 2 was a two-page summary of what happened -- absolutely no game assistance. That stunk...
