Mind Master Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 ...that is, why can only one fisherman reel in at a time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Cause the other Fisherman is busy cusing him out or talking trash about how small a fish he's reeling in - Takes 2 hands and a brain to work the rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrit2 Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I think it's to prevent sprite flicker. If both players happen to be reeling in fish at about the same height, and the pair of fish pass upward through a scanline with a third fish, some flickering will have to be used to display them all. I think this is probably generally why it can't be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I was wondering - if it was a flicker issue, or if it was done to make the game more competitive (there's a mini-race to get the next fish at all times).
