JB Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 The MSX version is horrible, not unlike the Sinclair Spectrum version in many ways, I'd imagine it was done in the UK at the same codeshop that did all the Euro hardware ports. Its not smooth, not silky, not a patch on the A8/5200 game! I just don't think the kinda hardware (in the MSX or Coleco) is good at this kind of display In fact I've not seen any port of the game (aside from the 7800 version) that was any good, the C64 one is pretty godawful IMHO... sTeVE 911656[/snapback] FamiCom one's pretty bad too. The game was really built around the 5200's graphical capabilities, IMO. Most other hardware offers diffrent features, and it has to be kludged to work at all.

After all, the 7800 version is superior to the 5200 version in every way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An SNES could do a nice BallBlazer too, though it'd approach it a totally diffrent way. B. "Higher-res sprites" is not "superior in every way." C. You're a douche.

ZylonBane Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 No, YOU'RE a douche. A double-dog douche. The 7800 version also runs at about double the frame rate of the 5200 version. Okay, so the music and sound effects are identical since the 7800 cart has a POKEY on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 So, would that be a douche that can freshen 2 dogs at once? Amazing! -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Thag Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I love always love a good, logical, fact-filled discussion The thing is, the hardware capabilities of a system are really secondary to the quality of games produced on it. Why do you thing the 2600 is still so popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
