Hi all,

Do any of you remember The Codeman. I use to visit his website and ftp constantly a year or 2 ago and then they both just disappeard into thin air.

I remember him. Don't know the story behind why he left without a trace, though I know It was a while ago now. Sometime towards the end of 2002 I tried to find his site but had no luck.

Biggest 3do ftp ive ever seen also

Some people come and go... Remember Alexx Kidd, the guy who translated Ninpen Manmaru into English ? And TheMorph, who had one of the first Saturn FTP around ?

NINPEN MANMARU? IN ENGLISH??? HOW?

WHERE?!?

His message board used to be here... but it is no more. I don't ever remember there being very much traffic on it though. It is weird how some people just disappear. Do they just forget completely about the sites they used to visit all the time? Don't you think they'd come back once in a while to see what was up? Hmm.

The translated Ninpen Manmaru ISO must be floating in the FTPs... It's called Ninpen Manmaru beta.

I know that some people "just disappear" when they stop beeing students or find a girlfriend

I remember the Codeman said once that his FTP was located on his own computer connected to his university network...

Haha, I still remember Alex Kid. He was here when SX was still using Ikonboard 2.X. His website used to be here..., but it's been long dead.

Also, I want to clarify that the English translation was actually done by Simon Fang (see excerpts below). It was Alex Kid who applied the translation into the ISO of the game and released a 144KB hack. This reminds me, I should email IceMan2k to have him put up Alex Kid's Ninpen Manmaru English hack on the translation... page.
