Accurate High Quality Maps For Retro Video Games

[marxcore]

Calling all gamers! Recently, I did a playthrough of the classic JRPG Musashi no Bouken on the Famicom and boy, was it an adventure! As I sailed around the world, I needed accurate maps to guide me through the game. Usually, I turn to Google or sites like GameFAQs, RPG Shrine, and others for help. But guess what? I stumbled upon a new website that hosts video game maps for retro systems - talk about a jackpot! Not only did I find what I needed for Musashi no Bouken, but I also discovered maps for other obscure games on my playlist. There are many consoles and maps to choose from. Stuck in that maze-like dungeon and want help finding all the good loot?

This is a really big database for retro videogame maps

You obviously didn't read my post... i tagged the post with vgmaps, i shared a link to vgmaps as well as a screenshot of the site. That's what I'm discussing in my thread post.. I'm not sure how you missed that?

Neat! There's something about old 16-bit maps and overhead shots that are really pleasant to look at.

Exactly, map scans are the way to go!

YouTuber Ross Scott sometimes makes his own and shares them, plus people on the Accused Farms forums are working on extracting 3D data for games like Test Drive III (the fact that there's a whole map for the title screen and that you'll never see more than 0000000002% of it normally just blows my mind on so many levels).

The site you listed and the site Max listed appear to be completely different. At a cursory glance, Max's site has MSX and C64 maps, which the site you shared doesn't. I don't see a reason for hostility when ignoring the post would have taken less time and energy.

Fire Emblem 3: Mystery of the Emblem/Monsho No Nazo on the Super Famicom.

Which is, somewhat oddly, both an extended and abridged remake of the very first. Probably my favorite way to play, outside of a brave GBA fan made remake.

DKC got blue balloons. A fact I ignored for 30 years while it was under my nose the whole time.

Jungle Hijinxs level map

An animated map of the level 'Jungle Hijinxs' from Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo. Our DKC maps feature the original level music - perfect if you wish to get truly nostalgic!

Part of playing old games was drawing your own map. Thus without even realizing they forced gamers to turn into expert cartographers lolol.

Now I only keep a few video game map drawings of mine just because I replay them from time to time like Rings of Power, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, some Resident Evil games, Fallout 1-2-New Vegas, Radiata Stories, GTA SA, Persona 1... lol.

Close but these are actually from Fire Emblem 4: Geneology of the Holy War.

VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas is the original.

VGMaps.de is a site that rips off content from the original VGMaps. Everything that it has was originally hosted on VGMaps.com, which mappers actually contribute to, which is why VGMaps.com always has more content.

Support the original site, not a wannabe knockoff.

Thank you for acknowledging the one true VGMaps, which is VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas.

Seriously, the other knock-off site is pathetic. Just trying to harvest VGMaps.com's maps without even getting permission from all the original mappers.

I see, I was new to using vgmaps site, I realized now that it's a rip-off site. Thank you for clarifying. I'll support the actual site now. It's a shame that sites like this exist to rip off hard-working people :(
