Well the world geography in 3 was based on the actual real world. Or is it the other way around? Does life imitate art?

Was Ramia based in any legend? I mean, DQ had stuff like Orochi.
The part where you find its egg and the 2 guardian fairys or whatever reminded me of Godzilla vs Mothra.

>Some games have slowdown or sprite flicker due to the demands of the game exceeding what the console is capable of

Lag and slowdown on 8bit/16bit consoles is usually due to poor unoptimized programming. Some games have "lag reduction patches", romhacks which optimized the code and get rid of any lag, and they run on actual systems as such.

Anyway, FCEU X for NES can overlock and get rid of the sprite limit.

i remember master system games had sprite flickering a lot, i got so annoyed by it, i sold it in like 91, always wondered what the technical reason for flickering was

>>4200985
The hardware simply cannot handle that many sprites at once. There is likely an absolute upper limit (probably some multiple of 8) that could not be exceeded even with infinite processing power, but it was simply because it could not handle that many sprites. Nothing more.

Sounds like T.R.A.G. but worse

I hate something awful for making a retsupurae of this game and convincing the young generations that's a really bad game.

I've heard the GG version is basically the same, but stars a special-ops sort of dude instead of classic Grant

Never played it but I"m in the Jurassic Park mood.

I just played the GameGear Power Rangers game and I think it's better than the SNES/Genesis versions.

Why is the JP master system game good?

>>4200695
I played the GG version as a kid and the MS version as an adult and as far as I can tell that's the only difference...maybe the MS version looks a little better?

Man, that's indeed plain dumb. Never noticed this until now.
Wonder if even Nintendo forgot to check before licensing it, or forgot to set this as a rule. Then i wonder if they were pissed that they forgot to make this an official rule for license and maybe did then...

evidently they were quite proud of the games they made

It tapped into the 8th CPU interrupt and only sent data signals on the second clock cycle.

Every now and then a faggot tries to start a bunch of meta threads of "board culture" in hopes of no talking of videogames.

I think Emperor gets overlooked because it came out much later and the whole Sierra "city building" thing was played out at the time. It's a great game, but people tend to remember Caesar III/Zeus as being the defining games at the height of the craze. Out of all of them, the only one I can't go back to is Caesar III, due to the fact that it didn't have the roadblock feature which, to me, completely changed the way the later games in the series played - for the better.

Emperor is the most refined game out of the bunch.

It's the good ol' "I don't give a fuck, put everything in there, hopefully it'll work" philosophy

The word you're looking for is "brown".

Is it not possible to rip the laser component from a PSOne and substitute it? They're far more reliable and if you have any retro game shops around you they usually go for like 25-35 bucks (around here anyway)

Just a possible convenience thing

>Is it not possible to rip the laser component from a PSOne and substitute it?
I think that it could be very possible to rip/tear but I do not know enough about the differences between models. Some places say some things, and others sites say that the 1001 models had a different setup.....They are set up totally wonky (well documented). I have 2 of these beasts sitting around here....this is the guts of #2 that took a dump. My #1 system is still chugging away, but I really want to fix this and get replacements before they become unavailable.

Somewhat looking forward to the SD card serial attachments.....As soon as they get out of beta, we can move away from this gear-grinding cd reading format.

(op) yet again.

I may have to check with some audiophile forums....These things are popular enough there that I am sure one of them would also know what is what.
