Flo, does your game&watch book include any information about the rarer versions like the white spitball sparky, pokka mario or the 20,000,000 greenhouse that we don't know about? We would be interested to know whether any of your contributors know something about these releases!!

Yes there is some good stuff to read about those rare editions. Especially about the 20.000.000 Green House. I got some very nice explanation from one of the guy who was in charge of this model. That's why there is 2 pages for that and not just one little piece of corner.

I can understand if Flo doesn't want to reveal the book's secrets. After all, we are his target audience and he wants us to buy copies (those of us who haven't been given one). But I don't read French so there's no point in me buying a copy.
I'm sure that someone with a copy could use a translation tool to get enough info to work out what is being said. Looking at it from Flo's point of view, though, he wouldn't want it revealed as it may affect his sales.
I'm very surprised that Flo didn't already provide us with teasers about what secrets were in there, though.

Well, I'm not asking him to reveal any specific details, some generic stuff would be helpful. For example, how many anniversary greenhouse games were produced (my guess is only one).. I don't need information on why it was released, history behind it or who owns it or how it was produced etc. Well, this information would be most welcome of course but I understand that Flo wouldn't want to reveal everything..
Oh well, I think I'd need to type everything into a translator I guess..

Michael Hi Mike, I sent you an email once with information about the special Green House, asking you to update the FAQ, but I guess you never got it.

I'll try to get it translated soon. I'm planning on paying a visit to a good friend of mine soon, who speaks French fluently, so, she should be able to tell me exactly what it says!!! AC

Hi everybody! No, be sure that I'm not such a guy who don't want to "reveal" some interesting facts just toavoid some "sales". I know you are all collectors. That's not because one fact is revealed here that you won't be interested with such a G&W history book, containing 200 pages of funny stuff! It's just because I thought that some of you here, would do it for me. And because this Green House 20.000.000 model is just one of the numerous incredible episodes of the unknown G&W history. So if I wanted to tell you all the funny things inside the book, I would have to translate ALL the pages! The other reason is that I've no time to explain it correctly in English. My vocabulary is poor and I do prefer that someone in the forum (a French speaker) translate it directly. But to answer to the question of the exact number of model existing, the guy just told me that it was less than 100. This model has been created in secret by Gunpei Yokoi (without the permission of the President of Nintendo) just for the people working on the G&W). By the way, the book will certainly be translated in English in the next month (maybe until the summer of 2010).

Why don't you inform us where we can buy your book in French and how much does it cost? There are some people here who understands french and would like to buy it. Thanks.
