About the game
This has to be one of the most random and entertaining games ever released on the Famicom. Think of a multiplayer RPG mixed with a board game, and a strategy game, and you have The 100 World Story. There are three missions to choose from, with randomly generated maps, and multiple endings and plot twists for each one. The later on the list you choose, the bigger the map gets, and more possible endings are available too! It's anywhere from 2 to 4 human and/or computer players, working either as a team to complete the main mission, or in brutal competition to see who ends the game with the highest score! Though you have one important goal in the story line, there are many smaller goals which randomly come at you over the course of the game. Gain experience, win new magics and weaponry, and help or hurt the other players to come out on top! Don't miss out on one of the most exciting games we never got!

   

Explanation for this release
My completed 100.world version released in 2000 had a few nasty bugs in it. Most of these were typos. To be honest I had the almost typo free version sitting on my computer waiting to be uploaded mere moments after the final release. In fact, I actually released that version on my site the next day. Due to extreme laziness however I never changed the version number(thinking foolishly that one night would be far too short a time for my translation to spread anyway). Needless to say, I was wrong. (Sorry about that one everybody) But laziness prevailed and I decided I would look for more typos before updating again. This task was soon forgotten however, and so while my website had a better version on it, nobody knew and many of the other translation sites kept distributing the typo-filled version. So the years went by, and as new emulators emerged, there was another bug that I hadn't noticed. Trying to remove a few unwanted pieces of hidden text, I fooled around with a lot areas in the game I really knew nothing about. I evidently leaked a few of these into my working version without noticing. Thanks to these mistakes, the patch was no longer playable in most emulators. Finally however, I think that the typos are done with, and the necessary pointers and such fixed, so here will hopefully be a fully working version for you all to enjoy. To the best of my knowledge all typos and bad pointers have been fixed.

   

Version naming scheme
The version name, in case you're curious, comes from the two hidden text entities which caused all of this trouble. The letters VQ are the first I dealt with, and appeared in the starting menus. I couldn't find those two stupid letters for the life of me, which is why I started messing with uncharted territory in the ROM. I did eventually clear it up, but a few bad pointers were left in their wake. The BS actually came up when the game was basically complete. When transferring items, the two middle letters of Pack, were swapped with a BS sometimes, even though I clearly put "Pack" into the game wherever I thought it fit. Rather than playing with things I didn't know about this time, after looking in the reasonably close areas for the answer, I decided to simply swap the letter a with B, and S with c. I went through the text changing everything I saw, but missed several cases along the way, leading to several B/a's and S/c's being misplaced. So in honour of these horrible evil evil evil things, have I named this version BS.VQ. The t is on the end because this release is just a fix of like 2 or 3 typos.

   

Just in case there's still bugs
There's always a chance that I've still missed something. So if you find something wrong, please let me know about it so I can at least try to fix it. Someone also emailed me a bugfixed patch, around a year ago or something like that. I'm afraid I lost the email/patch, and don't remember who sent it. I hope I have everything from it fixed anyway, but there's always the chance I missed something. If you still care enough about this thing I would appreciate it a lot if you could tell me where/what the locations/changes you had to make were, so I can fix anything I might have missed.
