Oh am sad now,I ment to say in the title WHY didn’t parker brothers this or that rather then saying who didn’t parker brothers this or that, how could i have oversight such simple mistake i checked everything, well i guess because of fast typing on the iphone and then often times incidentally hitting a different letter then intended, well again this goes to show that we do need a unlimited editing button like on youtube, not only per se for correcting unintended words or spelling issues or sentence issues but in case you do regret about your title you may could always decide to change it, HOT DAMNIT.

Well good luck remembering all this, well yeah if you are all familiar with all these type of shaped cartrides for each different system, then it shouldn’t be all that hard to remember i suppose, now i never said that parker brothers should,ve do this with the second market on the internet or BBS in mind, but they should,ve done it for a gerenal purpose as well, like what if you bought many parker brothers games for different systems and you put those games next to each other to save on space, then how could you tell for wich system each one belongs to? in case you’re not familiar with those different cartride shapes for each different system, now am personally stun that parker brothers found it sufficient enough to only tell it on the box for wich system their games belongs to, now if they also stated on the cartride for wich system it belongs to, not only would it have become handy now on the second market but also on the second digital market 40 years later as well, it’s nothing forward thinking if they did so anyway since atari already marketed their cartride labels with a reference to wich system it belongs to, sure it not only comes handy now because of the digital second market but in general as well and that’s all what’s matters.

While parker brothers did released cool & exciting games for many systems with games such as popeye Frogger erc,,, BUT what bugs me is that they don’t tell on their cartrides for wich system it belongs to, may ask WHY??? Because each cartride just looks similar in design & shape, unless you pay attention and do remember each shape from each parker brothers cartride for each system, it’s otherwise very very hard to distinguish them from each other, last time I wanted to buy an atari 400 cartride of popeye but that person who sold it just couldn’t tell for wich system it belongs to, it said in it’s title ‘unknown mysterious cartride looks like a atari 400/800 cartride’ so i suckered in buying it not realising that he didn’t know for wich system it belongs to because i only payed my attention out of hastyness on the those words ‘atari 400/800’ in the title (hahaha), but once i looked again in my emails i than did realze that it said those words ‘unknown and mysterious’in it’s tile as well, i was like ‘huh what are they talking about’ i just couldn’t believe my eyes, so i decided to compare that ‘mysterious’ cartride and just hope that he had it right, but sadly i found out that it is ment for the C64, so once i recieved that cartride i shipped it back to that person and told him that it is ment for the C64 and so he rectified that and now he sells it again and so i got my money back and so i found it oke that we had solved that problem, BUT it clearly goes to show how confusing it could be because once i readed all those cartride lables from each version of popeye etc,, it says nowhere to wich system it belongs to, WHY??? heck am already amazed that even on the game pakage of atari 2600 sky skippier ( as opposed on it’s cartride label) that it does not say nintendo anywhere on the box, wich is just weird, it could,ve otherwise attract more nintendo fans to buy that game it case they don’t know it’s from nintendo, if parker brothers just used some extra inkt to print out to wich system their games belongs to it would,ve save lots of frustrations and confusion among buyers and sellers. Well i finally do got my copy of popeye for the atari 400, but still trough who ever triught that because of some essential missing information on it’s box and/or cartride label that it could cause sooo much confusion to wich system it belong to,phew🤣

I remember once i saw that kid beating tetris, i just couldn’t believe my eyes, i was like ‘huh no it just can’t be he WTH how could a new generation kid do this’’ i was not expecting any new generation kids to like any retro games, let alone beating it, but then i was thinking that that kid might have superpowers to be able to beat that game,because you do need to have quick eyes and quick responses to be able to beat nes tetris with the kill screen, it’s just that incredible from that kid, amezing😁

I did let my nes 2 toploader be modded with av out as well 15 years ago (probably by the same guy like your) as the rf out has been disabled, not only that but he also didn’t added an extra capacitor to filter out those vertical lines wich become very appearent on blue or black backgrounds,but even worse that av port seems to be loose connected internally because i sometimes do get an distorbed image wich i only can fix once retouching that av cable ( i personally do believe that that guy didn’t soldered that video line properly inside causing those random distortions over times) not only that but am actually angry for the fact that he disabled the rf output, why he didn’t told me about this and why he just not kept it in case i want to play and record something atonce??? not mention those shipping costs, still trough i am happy with my modded nes 2 but these are those minor complains what does sometimes annoys me at times, but i also do sometimes wich that i kept my nes2 original and not bother let av modding it and instead just buy a rf demodulator but back in 2009 i couldn’t find one,not untill 2022 when it was just 13 years too late wich could,ve saved me some money because av modding it costed me $40 while that rf demodulator only costed me $10, oh well it is what it is😁

Haha, yep with dozens of those rattling atari xegs cartrides, you can certainly do sose great samba dances with it😁

Well atari 5200 cartrides are atleast 5200 times more robust then atari xegs cartrides so hahaaa🤣🤣

I remember when i bought donkeykong junior for the atari xegs system but once i was shaking the cartride , i all the sudden did hear rattling inside that cartride, i was like ‘huh what the heck is that’ i was worrying that that was a broken screw inside it to potentially ruin the pcb board inside, but as it turns out after doing some research, atari used hot glue in favor over screws just to save some pennies, but still it does makes me wonder didn’t atari just used zip toies instead to make sure it will never wear out and make thing going lose inside just by designing the cartride and it’s pcb’s with zip ties in mind, also i always trought that the handle on those later ribbed xegs cartrides were intended to make them next to impossible to fit them inside an atari 400 or 800, take mariobros for xegs mariobros for example, not only is that game incompatible with with the atari 400 but it also fits much harder inside it because of that handle, is that a coincidence?? I don’t think so, but take for example donkeykong jr for example, that game is not only just compatible with the atari 400 but it also does not have that handle on it’s back, some do say that jack tramiel just removed that handle on several xegs cartrides just to produce them cheaper but i think theres more behind it. but about that hot glue in later atari xegs cartrides is something interesting, heres some interesting link about it, https://forums.atari.io/blogs/entry/520-why-do-atari-xegs-cartridges-rattle/#:~:text=If you want to know,is the rattle you hear.

Am actually AMEZED that nintendo didn’t bother to put their seal of quality aproval logo on those cartrides, considering that they wanted to assure people that they are buying real official products from nintendo, also since many perfect iligal copies of nes games do exist complete with the nintendo seal logo slapped on top of it, wich are hardly distinguable from official copies, mmmm, now what i have done is moddified those original labels/coverart from those games for wich i was always imagining at how they should,ve looked like including adding those missing seal of quality labels on it, for instance i wich always bothered why on earth nintendo did made the word ‘super’ small while the rest of those words ‘mariobros’ is just large, so i was wondering for decades ‘could they not fit the whole title properly within inside that space?’ well they could and they should,ve it done that whay because in my opinion at how they have done it just looked cheap ass to my eyes🙁🙁 well hopefully this will give us a taste at how it should,ve looked like😁

Well it’s very confusing but if you ask me i would mean the atari XEGS system if i say atari xe, the confusing part is that i first trought that the latest atari 8bit computer system was called the atar 65XE and that the consolized version was the called XE but if it was ment to be called atari XEGS, then atari should,ve put that name on both their console and box art,in fact i am already amezed that atari did even called their atari 65XE a videogame system, why not calling it a computer system? Well i guess they tried to cetch in on the nes craze, but still they should,ve call it a computer system and also say on it’s box ‘it also serves as a videogame system’ in order to attract both business people and parents with kids who wanna buy a game console for their kids, well i don’t know where nicronomic word XE does stand for ‘extra enhanced’ or something like that but either way atari created alooot of confusoon with their line up of XE systems wich were just old computers from the 70’s been put with some extra ram into new modern model cases and it was not the first time they did this as there were also thosecheapized LX models!

Well apart from this improved hack, i found the nes version of lemming more difficult to play because you can only build bridges in a certain grid and if you wanted to build a bridge on top on another bridge like in those corners like in that level as shown in the video, you have to time it frame and pixel perfectly to do so, i found it soooo anoying to run out of building blocks for these bridges to buld, all because of miss timings,ouch, also once i discovered these other versions of lemmings i then did realize that i had many things from it, such as voices,brighter colors and levels being more stretched horizontally along with slightly more friendly controls, heck even the mastersystem version did had voices in it despite lacking a digital soundchannel for it while the nes and even the gameboy does have a dedicated soundchannel for voice samples for it but those versions of it does at average lack voices in it.

Well then blame it on wikipedia because i already did knew that pacman,ms pacman,frogger 1 & 2,popeye etc,, were also on the atari 400/800 so that’s why i did’t put those games in the list, but even so i didn’t fully trust my findings that much, especially since i counted sooo many games that seems to be not ported to the atari 400, but then i was wondering ‘no it can’t be that much because the 5200 didn’t had many games for it and most games were crossported from or to the atari 5200’ but still i consider it somewhat believible since i checked everything twice, but as expected my findings didn’t turned out to be that reliable, but i do put the blame on wikipedia as well👎

Well i did remember that thread wich i did had made 4 days ago but not any similar thread before it,maybe about pac land a while ago but i am not sure about that,.

Well i can’t remember that i created such thread in the past,maybe about pac land? i don’t know but i do remember that i did mistakingly 2 threads about the nes for wich i was astonished about at why it won the 3th gen because eventrough i did know why it won the 3th gen, but i just trought that it was interesting/fun to look at it at a different perspective, but at the end it turned out to be a big mistake since nobody liked it for many reasons, but still,,, i also do remember that i responded on many other peoples on two similar thread about supermariobros for being questionally the first true sode scrolling platformer or not but nothing else, well am gonna do my research on tracking down my old threads and see if i could find it to see if i indead already made such similar thread about it or not, but either way it’s mind boggling that before supermariobros there were so far to my knowledge at minimum 11 platform games am mean just wooow i never knew that.

Well there was actually also jungle hunt but it scrolls from right to ldft and there was no actually stop and go in that game as you have to keep going, whether you have to swing,swimming or rund and jump, , there was gumshoe wich did scroll both horizontal and vertically,there was spelunker wich scrolls in sections and there was circus charlie etc,,, so while supermariobros may have redefined side scrolling platform games and make other companies to jealously took inspiration of it by making their own platform games (whether it’s a SMB knock off,rip off or direct clone of it or otherwise) thus increasing the popularity of side scroliing platform games, but it is just mind blowing that side scrolling platform games already dates back to 1982 and that a few other side scrolling platformers already started to pop up on home consoles in 1983 and 1984 before supermariobros, am mean for 24 years i trought that supermariobros from 1985 was the first ever side scrolling platform game but man what was i wrong🤣
