SlidellMan Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Great video as always, but I would like to mention that it was Sunsoft who gave Ringler Studios a cruel deadline of three months. http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/batman-return-revenge-of-the-joker/ That doesn't absolve it of being a horrid conversion.

Yakumo1975 Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 A game that appeared on practically every bootleg Famiclone game cartridge. This is Circus Charlie from Konami on this week's Battle of the Ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 I was surprised at how beautiful this place was. Plus, stick around until the end for some real life Ridge Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakumo1975 Posted April 2, 2022 Author Share Posted April 2, 2022 An SNK Classic and the worlds first game with singing on this week's Battle of the Ports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 There is just something about pre-Neo-Geo SNK games that makes me wish that they would do more than wash-rinse-repeat fighting games. I will also say that Psycho Soldier and Athena would be perfect for 7800, Lynx, and Jaguar homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monochrome sprites, awful collision detection. Ports would need to be built pretty much from scratch as even the coin op suffers in the controls department.

The Usotsuki Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The OP evolved into Athena's stage theme in one of the KOFs iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly California Games for the Lynx was a great pack-in game. Granted, I wish it had more events, but the ones it had save the skateboard ramp were really fun and worth replaying. Need to give the 2600 version a go sometime as supposedly it is pretty good for what it is. Take care and keep up the great work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish it also had more events but only f they were given to good developers. I feel the Surfing section on the Lynx is the best of all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends and i absolutely hammered the C64 version and being in the UK, this meant using the cassette version. To find the Lynx version had fewer events than an 8-bit, cassette based version, seemed unbelievable. Doesn't matter if it was due to coding issues, lack cartridge space or design choice, we felt short changed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just have to check out the SNES version as it looked to be pretty cool all things considered though I still have great nostalgia for Iron Soldier on the Jaguar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
