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 QUESTION: HI!!! I had just bought a new game called Resident evil code veronica. I was going to buy the strategy bool but they don't have anymore of them. So know I am all confused about what I am doing in the game play. So far I have gotten to the palace and the prisoner facility. I have been shot at by Alfred and been attack by bats in the submarine underwater. I have gotten the navy proof and the army proof and have no idea where they go. I have collected the bow gun and ammo,knife,lighter,hemostate,files,notes,etc.... Now I am in the office where the two amgnums open the door in there. Not to mention I have been running all over the place and I have no idea where to start from now. I need your help the best help if possible!!!!!! plz? and thank you.
ANSWER: Hi there, Shauni!
First off, let me apologize for the delay in answering. A week emergency kept me unable to get to a computer. Now that I'm back, though, let's see what I can do about this issue you have.
The Navy Proof should be left where it is when you first find it. For now (and for quite some time) you won't need it, so it can be left right where it is. You'll backtrack for it much later (as in, later than this snippet will take you). The Army Proof, on the other hand, you will need much sooner, so grab it as soon as you find it.
To get rid of the bats, while you can shoot them, use the lighter that you've found. It will keep them at a distance, and save ammo for the *scary* things you need to face!
The door that you're after, I'm assuming, is the same one where you use the Gold Lugers (rather than Magnums; they're a rather big punch). Within this office, there is a computer. Input the code '1971' into this computer and a new passage will open for you. Have your weapons ready, though; you're certainly not out of the woods yet!
That should help you get past your 'stick point'. I have to give you full credit for making sure I knew exactly where you were; it made it so easy for me to wriggle you out of the spot! If you end up caught elsewhere, feel free to send another and I'll see what I can do. Remember that I can't give a step by step through the whole game; I'm mostly here for tactics and 'stick points'. :)
Any other questions, comments, feedback, follow-ups, are just as welcome!

QUESTION: Thanx alot it really helped me out big time. But I'm stuck aganin only this time not only in this game but in resident evil 4. But first I will ask about recv. Well I had gotten the sluggers and used them and hurt Alfred and he let loose a tyrant... well I some what killed the tyrant while trying to get to the plane before the island blows up.I finally make it to the plane and used the proofs, then helped raise the bridge so I can take off. Did that and took off. Well after we (claire and steve) get more into each other the tyrant is back again so I have to push him off the plane with the cargo button. My question is, is there an easier way to beat the tyrant b/c I only I have a grenade launcher w/6 flame rounds,and 3 acid round 1 bow gun powder thing and 15 bullets, lastly I have the guns I had picked up from the prison facility from the zombie I had shot.So I think I am up creek without a paddle in this one.
My last question is about resident evil 4. Now I have played and beat the game alot. I have the infinite launcher and the chicago typewriter.I almost have all the guns in my inventory except one the handcannon wich I don't have. I also have the strategy guide and it says that I can get that in replay. Okay, here is where I'm lost I have went back to replay the main game and have gotten it yet. I was wondering if I have to the main game over so many times in order for me to get it???? I really am glad you help me out if you can help me out on these two questions I be glad and happy that you did. Thanx alot!!!!!!!!!
Answer Hi there, Shauni!
First off, let me apologize for how long it took for me to get to this, I hope you managed to get an answer while I've been 'away'. As the game's not one of the ones I know, I've been frantically scrambling to answer other questions and catch up with life. Amazing how much a week in hospital can throw off one's life!
For your first question, I wish I could give you better news. However, you're pretty much correct: you need to be throwing some heavy artillery at the bugger to take him down, and you've not got a lot of them left. You aren't totally and utterly without hope, as even the knife can take him down given enough time, but it's going to be an extended battle. Keep moving, don't let yourself be knocked out of the plane, and lead him around rather than letting him cross the 'short way' to get to you. Once he's damaged enough, just hit the button to smack him with a crate and throw him off the plane.
As for Resident Evil 4, the Hand Cannon can be gotten in a single replay. You do not need to win the game more than the once to be able to obtain. However, to unlock it in your game, you need to get all the characters in the Mercenaries minigame 5 stars in rank, in all stages. So good luck with that!
I wish you the best! Questions, comments, feedback, follow-ups, are welcome!
