gauauu Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Simple question: How much (if any) of the left and right edges of the screen should be reserved as "unimportant", due to being possibly covered by the edges of old TVs? I've been using a single playfield pixel on the left and right for walls, but then started to wonder if I'd run into problems on older TVs, and should use 2 instead? It looks like Combat just used 1, but Adventure used 2. Is there standard advice for this? (If this has been hashed out here a thousand times, I apologize, I searched but didn't find anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 There is a border left and right from the screen, so you do not have to worry about pixels missing on real TVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiki Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 But I would be worried about scanlines. There is at least one game - the Supercharger conversion of Planet Patrol, that is way off the screen at the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
