Darius Wiki

Post by devilmanozzy »

Unlike the Shoot Em Up Wiki, this one is trying to avoid copying from Wikipedia (however, the front page was copied from wikipedia but who could tell after all the changes). Here's a link to the wiki http://darius.wikia.com. It's only a week old, and at this point is barely started, so really what I'm hoping is interested fans give the wiki a chance. Thanks!

Side note, I'm a bit confused about Darius+ and Darius+ as they appear to be very different in looks, and neither of them look like Darius.

You may want to visit here:

I've not compared it to the wikipedia entry, but chances are, wikipedia authors ripped anything of value from there.

Yeah I've been there, its a useful resource, however its going down in october. I hope the guy finds out about geocities going down and moves his site. It would suck to lose that site.

Nice wiki. Are you intending it to be just an information database, or also have something like Strategy Wiki and have level guides and boss tips?

Well, yes strategy info for battling both bosses and the zones would be very useful for this wiki.

I might register then and post some articles. I've played all the original Darius arcade games and the SNES exclusives, plus the PC Engine Darius Plus. I can add some content.

I recall of an EGM issue from 1998 that had a two page spread of how to beat all the bosses featured in the PSX version of G-Darius. Lots of info to digress in it. Would apply to the G-Darius PCB iteration as well. ^_~
