I can apparently make it through the first couple of levels without taking a hit but never got past that.

Most of em only had bootlegs back in the day I believe

I'll take a guess that legitimate stuff is ludicrously expensive and only imported by the trendy nouveau riche while the usual counterfeits are as cheap and plentiful as they were in the '90s.

Eastern europeans -like southamericans- used consoles that were either clones of popular ones -Atari 2600 and NES bootlegs- or consoles that flopped in the US-EU market, and were sold cheaper there just to get rid of them -Like the Atari XE or the Master System-. Of course the famiclones were by far the most popular ones because his low price and amount of games.

4 through 6 are supposedly notorious for butchering the art style of the original SNES games.

>>3618112
At least 1-3 are safe then?
Do you think it's worth it considering this may be the only chance I'll actually play the game?

I have put in some time on it, but due to the fact that it is just 100% objectively inferior to every other entry (doesn't even have seasons) there is kinda just no reason to touch it.

Gotta say though. Seeing this pop up on the threads list made me have a "Man, good taste, anon" moment. Good on you.

Sorry, I'm this post >>3617950, but I meant to tell you that this is a better cart overall (pic relate):

Obviously a N8 is even better, but this cart will secure you the jist of the games at least excluding a couple. (CVIII and Kid Dracula off the top of my head)

Kirby and Blaster Master also use PAL versions which play much faster than they should.

>>3617982
If that doesn't have similar PAL rom issues, and actually comes with the pictured pin adapter, that seems like it really would be a nice deal.

>>3617914

For one thing, this is hardware that predates the NES. Also, the cartridges are generally just the ROM data plus maybe an enhancement chip, this has to cover not just the ROM data, but also the processor, sound, etc. Also, yes, a lot of times arcade games were more powerful than equivalent home consoles at the time.

>>3617914
Lets talk production. Let's take Ms. Pac Man for example. You'll need about 35KBs of storage space for graphics, code, and sound, some amount of RAM, a CPU, controller interface, power handling, and some audio and video hardware on the board itself to create the right signal for the speakers and monitor. A 64K ROM chip cost around $500 back in 1981. 1K, 2K, and 4K ROM chips were far cheaper, even moreso when bought in bulk. Hence it made more sense financially to produce Ms Pac Man boards with 8 4K chips, 1 2K chip, and 4 1K chips than to use a single 64K. PCB space is cheap, large capacity chips are not. This is still true to this day, where many video cards will have 8-16 chips for RAM rather than 1 or 2.

Those consoles came out about years later, when you could get 256K chips for the price 64K used to be. Memory in general was 10 times cheaper than it was in '81, at which point it was cheaper to get chips larger than 4K.

>The home console releases could come fairly close on a technical level with maybe 5 chips total.
1) There are a bunch of additional chips in the console that execute the code stored on the cartridges
2) Home console ports in the early 80s are not fairly close and especially not on a technical level

tr 1&2 are def better on playstation, all the other games are about the same

>>3617882
Just got this for the 20th anniversary and cleared the first 3 levels. Never played it before. It's bullshit on keyboard so I mapped it to a Dualshock and it's surprisingly pretty managable. The only problems are the ledge auto jumping sometimes doesn't work, strafe speed is stupidly slow, and you have to be standing over an item directly to pick it up. Using the ATI Rage Windows version with FLAC music, widescreen FOV, and windowed mode.

Oh yeah, and having to combo jump + punch is just a nightmare

>>3617848
You're either trolling or you're completely retarded, because Genesis Altered Beast is one of the easiest games ever made.

Remember when you were 12 and you all thought this? And then you turned 15 and you realized how dumb you were to think that in the first place?

Good times.

yes

Miyamoto also had little to nothing to do with the development of 'The Lost Levels'/JP SMB2 but he was hands-on with this game.
