I actually really like Cybermorph. It's got a pretty good spread of easy and difficult levels. The voices can be annoying. I love the variety of enemies and backgrounds and play the game quite occasionally. I really don't see it as the failed program-meant-to-be-a-demo that Trevor Mcfur was, maybe? It's pretty fun and it works. It's not Phase Zero or SkyHammer by any stretch, but it's the pack in and there wasn't any immediately available 16-bit version of anything like it. It proved that shaded polygon worlds and morphing ship animations were possible. I play it on my Jaguar cabinet readily and it's really very enjoyable if you aren't coming at it with a stereotype in waiting. How can we all dis and judge games where there really are only one of their kind? Who here really can't stand Dancing Eyes because it's just a copy of 'fill-in-the-blank-strip-anime-girl-game' but doesn't meet our expectations. Was Cybermorph supposed to, like, dethrone StarFox, or something? I don't think so. It has deeply shaded polygons and lots of them to prove that the system can do a lot with the hardware. It was supposed to be a demo that sold the system, right?

And even though it was soo much cheaper with the battery life and all you could be happy with the extra money your putting into Asprin and beer to cure your blackened eye-bags from squinting all over that blurry mess. The Gameboy is a piece of SHIT! It was a load of crap that sold for the catchy music and shuttle endings of Tetris and should have been the Wonderswan. I watch modern movies with the color turned all the way down so I can see new films in black and white, so you're still full of shite. The Gameboy was one of the first biggest rip-offs until the Tiger Game.Com (which was somehow technically superior) came out later. The Gameboy Advance made up for this but took a long time and had to be 32-Bit. I don't answer for everyone though. Like if I said "People all love NASCAR because they have cars.". I would be very careful when answering for EVERYONE! Like when saying 'people' do this or that. Your WRONG no matter what. I'm people. I don't do that. You have to be wrong. I agree that the Gameboy had good battery life. I don't agree that they had better games, because most of them were a big blurry mess. The Gameboy screen looks like every color that a turd pickle can create while smearing it across a windshield as a deadly distraction. I love SEGA. Please don't think me to be threatening, I'm just tired of people saying things that appear to answer for everyone.

The ghosts are smaller, too. This may have something to do with there being less 'flicker'. The amount of time for the two recreations of the second sprite (player 1) on the same scanline would be less, due to the smaller sprite. I still favor the chinky sounding pellets in the 7800 Ms. Pac-man. I often wonder why Ms. Pac-man ever divorced uh, Mr. Pac-Man!?! She's an awesome power woman of the eighties who eats green M&M's and drinks Diet Coke, okay? She wears high heels even though they are proven to gradually degrade your Achilles tendon over time! She can do what she wants! You could easily make your own Mrs. Pac-Man game using the Multisprite kernel and Visual Batari Basic. They could decide that child support is too much of a hassle and that Mr. Pac-Mans, uh.. problems are too much to deal with, so just get remarried to another Pac and be a Mrs again. It relieves that harpy-like moniker of Ms. that the eighties favored to loose up the wallets of pre-feminists.

Both are so much fun, though. When I was looking at arcade games to play, Pac-Man was good and quick while mom was waiting for groceries to be bagged. Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man on the VCS were fun babysitters that really got played way waaaaay more than arcade games for us. If you want to see what greatness can really be squeezed out using today's programming methods and things like Visual programming and Harmony carts with DPC+ support you could try 4K Pac-Man or Pac-Man Arcade Enhanced. Some of my favorite games today are the graphical hacks of 2600 latecomers like Xenophobe, Commando, Rampage, etc. The hacks available on AA make these games excellent and you won't want to go back to the old carts once you've changed up. The massive overhaul of color in Xenophobe, for instance, would have put it above several other versions back in the day. Most would disagree with such a statement when comparing such a seemingly downgraded title. When you see the other home offering of many of these games (the NES version was full of weird later-level and other-game stuff with off colors and tons of inner ship teleporting) and their lack of real original game-play, it makes the system shine. People think Pac-Man sucks for the VCS but we all have to admit that it got played a whole heck of a lot. Ms. Pac-Man was a pretty big improvement, sure. Moving prizes, better sounds, cleaner looking ghosts. It's all what could be squeezed out of what was meant to be the next multi-pong fly-by-night Magnavox copycat. Copying the player 1 sprite over and over again is really how it's all done.

I've been reading "Console Wars" and it details the problem you're talking about exactly. The real guns behind Sega of America at the time was Tom Kalinske. He was yanked out of his darling Hawaii vacation to be lulled by Japanese Game Gear images firstly and then ruling the proud hardware march of the Genesis. The Japanese had an excellent system in the GG and that extra bit of color over the Master System and bulky kid-toyish egg pod feel made it very appealing. Mine originally got little attention just because I was so into console games. I didn't like the blurriness of the Game Boy from the get go. The larger sprite games, like Castlevania, were tolerable. Games that were supposed to be big attracts, like Batman or Mario Land, were big let downs for me. I yearned for a clear picture. I see the best use of a Game Boy game today in the Super Game Boy or the GBA player for the GC. The Super Game Boy has so many extras built into games (like the excellent Donkey Kong, which has top notch color) and, of course, no blur! Game Gear has Sonic Triple Trouble. Arguable the best Sonic game when you get down to game play, graphics, story. It's fun. I got the MS converted rom for my EverDrive and have the handheld AT Games Master System version. GO GAME GEAR!!

The Gorgon got me Maw! Iz HARD!

I just pictured two big chubby guys picking up an old man in pajamas while still sitting in his chair and moving him up a ramp and into a big truck... ...'cause it's an Odyssey 2 game!?!

I missed Mania TV's chat when it went. It was a really fast and populated video chat forum that followed the Mania TV crew that were really creative actor types. Tom Green eventually jumped in from his home in the U.S. and they worked in the chatters while live. Anyway. A chat room where we could video chat with each other would be extra dope. One of the first things I did then was play with lightsabers which look like real ones on low res webcams. They were creative then and would say things like "I'mma eat me a Chinny Mcnugget" to this girl named Chinny who was really cute and bright and talk about phallic book slamming masochism. I think they dumped the video chat because it became an interrelated community that didn't need Mania TV to function, so was expendable. Maybe their guys stopped supported chat.

Oh, I forgot. This is an Odyssey 2 game. Sorry. I wasn't talking about anybody WE know. Like from here. I was talking about another guy who I thought was going to check out my stuff. This guy is totally different. His name is A$$bert. I'm truly sorry to everyone. I really didn't mean it. I've had a rough past few months. I remember really liking my Odyssey 2. Buttons and I had both, and if I remember correctly, the Odyssey 1 was really crappy. How would I try this game? (I really love Albert. He's an excellent human being.)

I definitely see her as a rebreathing of McCoy where Crusher may have yielded a more stale, motherly quality that was too connective for the beginning. I remember Picard seeming to try and be a grumpier more maladjusted old man in the start and this may have been intentional to promote the lack of a harder Strargazer backdrop that he would have come from, or part of his actor/character adjustment phase, I guess. The need for a comic relief character that is cynical seems like her placement. We were basically religious about watching this right as it came out and I remember her being a fun character. My favorite part of the show is Data. He's like Spock but the opposite, where he seeks emotion by being clogged with perfect logic. We just started watching Reading Rainbow with our two little golden robots and Buttons and I remembered how great it was to follow Levar Burton and his charismatic eternally youthful visage through the years and then have him become such a great part of TNG.

I can't deal with the greasy lining in my mouth after eating microwave popcorn. I like theater popcorn, as it is vegan. It goes stale fast, though. I think you should go ahead and make it a 32k bankswitching game. I'm just going to make everything 32k Bankswitching from now on so that when I buy the bulk chips to slap onto my 3D printed boards I can just make games all day. I never really needed some ludicrous assholey masonic fucktard bastard acting like charity on the livid to make my games. I wish I would have programmed Street Fight World in 32k from the beginning and left out the DPC+ extras as I would have been able to make the game myself by now. Don't ask the ever-important for their considerations and remember.. It's not the biggest man with the most friends and the loudest cry that catches gods ear but the smallest child in the darkest room on the bleakest night with the faintest whisper.
