AboutTrey McGowan Expertise I can answer strategy questions for just about any video games. RPGs and collecting/raising sims are my major specialty, though I am also experienced in general strategy games, a variety of MMORPGs, and possibly even some much more esoteric ones. I can't promise that I'll be able to answer all your questions from personal experience, but I can promise that if I can't, I will do my utmost to research the answer before I give it to you.
Best consoles to ask about: NES, SNES, GB/GBC, GBA, Playstation, Playstation II. If you are asking outside of this list, please give a little extra time for some research to be done on the game.
Please note: if you are wanting a particular version of strategy (i.e. a *fast* playthrough, a powerful playthrough, a challenge game, a specific boss beat in a specific way), make sure the details are added. The more I know about what *you* want to know, the better.
Experience I am an avid player of video games of various types, including RPGs, strategy games, MMORPGs, et cetera. I have been playing since the Atari 1300 days, and even back then, learning the strategy and the like of the games was as interesting as beating it.

Question I'm where you have to save the guys wife. It requires capture beetles and I used
a lot trying to capture monsters. I have none left! Is there anywhere to get more
of these beetles in the area I'm in? Any suggestions?
Answer Hi there, Kathleen!
Fear not! There's a lot of areas in the game where you can get yourself some capture beetles. It may take a little searching in pots, trees, vases, and the like, but you should be able to grab them a little at a time by poking through and backtracking if *really* low.
I'm not sure how far you've gotten, but if you are actually *at* the man's wife, in Uruk Canyon, then there's a location not too far off with a statue that continuously respawns Capture Beetles or Bronze Ankhs. From the cage, cross the lava pools and go through the archway. You'll be in a circular area with a fenced-off switch and a Fire Armadillo. Go right, smash the statue, rinse and repeat. You should have all the Capture Beetles (and ankhs!) you could ever need.
