Papa

You seem to like to insult people, don't you? Like I haven't worked on computers for most of my life. Both are measured in bytes, that's all I'm saying. I know exactly what I'm talking about. I have repaired computers, built computers, programmed computers and loved computers since my early teens. I've worked as a computer repair technition and fixed peoples computers as side work. I've spoken to computer programmers and builders and that's the lingo that we use. This takes up that much RAM or that takes up this much RAM. I have programmed games in several languages.

OH, you've never heard that this or that game was, say, a 4 gig game. That means the ROM (I.E. DVD Read Only Memory) is 4 GIGs of RAM (measured). If I move a ROM to my computer, it takes up RAM space on my hard disk. I can measure it and say.. "HEY, this game is such and such ammount of RAM on my computer!"

Actually the Japanese system is different from the U.S. and the Euro. Also, the home systems have a diffent kind of RAM which sometimes displays a tad less sprites in things like explosions or repetitious effects, like fire from a flamethrower, energy waves..etc. The home version displays a different screen rate and has slightly cheaper components than the MVS board. The MVS is easily fixed and can even be slightly upgraded with higher quality caps and bios. The Japanese systems have blood and some extra animations, too. The differences are very minor, but they are there! They are not absolutely identical. You will find that most of the different variations of the games are on the AES cart, whereas it is just one variant on an MVS cart. You can often choose what version you want with a unibios or button codes,and this makes the AES a nice choice. I have an MVS multicart that is very good and sports most of the best games.

I took the flashing out of the Warp screens and animated them, too. This was because I liked the cleaner look and felt it actually looked like you were being pulled into a different place, like a warp gate could look. One way to test the gate (albeit a trap) is to use magic against the second appearance of the Titan boss in the Emerald city. There is a trap there that will yank you back to an earlier place in the game.

Is that a chubby Lars Ulrich smoking a joint with a roadie? Lynx ROCKS!! YEAAAAH YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! WOAAAAAAHHH WOAHHHH!! RRRRRROOOFFF TO NEVUH NEVUH LAAAAAAAAAND!! (*reeeeow)

I was frustrated by it. ROM carts are measurable in RAM. If you got a NEO GEO MVS or AES cartridge without RAM (I mean the Read Only Memory, measurable in RAM) then there was no game in it! The systems have a little bit different RAM, and this effects the number of sprites occasionally displayed on screen. When you've played a Neo-Geo in the arcade and then bought the CD system it could have been frustrating to have to wait minutes for the game to load. It's darn near impossible to tell the difference between an MVS game and an AES one. Also, on the note of 'back ups'. The 3DO games are pretty easy to back up. Usually you just rip 'em. Sega CD's sometimes have to have the tracks added, as do PC-Engine games. It's a bit like having to add Security Sectors to a 360 disk. It also can be frustrating (meaning, I, personally, was frustrated by it.). I would recommend backing up everything you buy and never playing the original, though (Amiga rules, as I call them).

A good start! Gravity is FUN!

Rampage (2600)..I expected it to suck but it turned out to be a very fun port. Double Dragon (7800). I played the living crap-lights outta this game until my hands hurt (1 1/2 minutes.. jk) and I beat it with help from my coaxed kid brother. Joust (VCS). I was not a big fan of the arcade game, but was pleasantly surprised by how the simplified VCS port was. Bird A$$, as it's called. Now I like the arcade game a bit, too. Kaboom. I thought it looked stupid but was actually hooked pretty hard. Defender (VCS). I also thought the arcade game was just full of distractions and very hard to play. I thought the VCS port was funner (I'm weird like that). Asteroids (A$$-turd-roids.. ) (VCS). The arcade game was frustrating for me due to the lack of any real controls, but I could play the VCS one well and my wife and I enjoy it (oops, I teleported..). She cannot be beaten in this game and I really need to put up a picture of one of her scores, 'cause it's ridiculous. Galaga (7800).. I didn't like the box art and thought they should have tried to accurately portray the ship, but was surprised at how great it plays and, again, the wife loves it big time and plays it in our arcade. Pacman..I wasn't really into ol' Puckman when it was all over the arcades, but really had fun with the VCS version. I played it a lot and am currently loving the 4K and 8K versions. 8K is just awesome!

This game works on the SuperCharger, and is pretty FUN!

This game also works on the SuperCharger! (..been testing lotsa stuff on it..)

This game works on the SuperCharger! (Just FYI)..

This game works on the SuperCharger!

..Also, I tried this on the SuperCharger and it worked fine!

I was always bothered by the angled perspective of Zaxxon, so the 2600 version is my favorite.. I also have it for the SG-1000, and darn it if I can barely play it..

I just meant that the Neo-Geo CD took a frustratingly long time to load anything. Pulstar is the worst, I've heard. You can recap a Neo Geo and they sell cards to let you play MVS on AES. When I think of the Genesis and how awesome the arcade ports were and then how it blew my mind how different they really were (usually less color) when compared side by side, I am also reminded that the Neo Geo AES stuff was the ever tiniest ,barely noticeably, little bit different than the MVS. Mostly just a little less splashy stuff here and there due to a tiny bit less RAM. I really like a lot of the fighters for it! Voltage Fighter Gowkaizer was one of my favs (lots of hot chicks in wedgie-ware), and the hack jobs like King of Gladiator are really fun (and Mai rips out her rack every time you blaze across the screen ). Some of the KOF series are better than others, if you can even tell them apart aside from the titles. Metal Slug is a great game, but the arcade demo screen is so annoying with the "AHHHH... AHHHHH. AHHHHH...AHHHHHH" ever repetitious death WAV screaming every couple of seconds. There are a LOT of faithful multicarts for those games, too. It seems that a lot of these carts start with Neo-Geo emulation and then work their way around other titles afterwards. I really loved League Bowling and Magician Lord back in the day. I still play them both in my arcade at times. League Bowling just never gets boring to me.. I'm sure the Jag could keep up (prolly the CD over carts, though)!

Ah..yes..I believe I screwed that up, yup. I think when I did this for another game I was working on I switched control over to the player1 sprite and forgot. Yeah..you lose some colors!! (and missiles, yup..) (..and your mind..)

They're all pretty fun in one way or another! Pending they still work, and your internet is out (no DLC or logging in to your Windows, 360, PS3, PS4, XboxOne games..), and your 360 just went RROD, or your PS3 BSOD, or your PS4 won't connect to PSN, or you just want to play a fun game that's not drinking your soul or replacing your life while requiring a headset, subscription, and a portable urinal!! It would be great to somehow port Neo-Geo stuff over to the Jag just to see what that would be like.. I think Neo-Geo is still pretty awesome (although the NeoGeoCD was a wreck).

The only thing I would change is the part where playing the music too loud causes all the stray dogs in a five block radius to encircle your house and run in a counterclockwise ring.. ..just kidding, the game is a radical feat!!

I always hold the box up in the air with the razor right next to the tape and say out loud the value..say.."TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS"..and then snip the tape and say "WORTHLESS!!!" It gives me great joy. I find that playing with things makes them truly worth more. I also like to hold my face really close to sealed packages and then right as I rip them open take a big deep breath and go "FREEEESH AIR!! AIR FROM LONG AGO WHEN THE WORLD WAS CLEAN!!"

srsly..

Ah..my documentary..

King of Gladiator is a BLAST! Mia Shiranui is HOT! I really love Shock Troopers 2nd Squad. I want Crossed Swords II! I have the first one,but it's sans hot chick.. Gen gives a real Bronx cheer in Samurai Showdown!!

"cuntywoofer"

Yeah..this was the first thing I ever programmed in Bb. I've done a few PC games, like a game where I took a 1/6 figure and, in Resident Evil style, made it so you can go from room to room in our own house. It also details the front, back, and side yards (from a few years ago). I did a Golden Axe clone with some pretty good graphics, although it remains, like the other, incomplete. I've done programming on XBox game mods and hacks, some stuff in Visual C++, played with assembly on the Coco3, and done BASIC on all sorts of systems: the Amiga, the C64, all the way to the Trash-80. My favorite to program on is the VCS as there are enough limitations to force you into imagining just how to get something to work and Visual Bb is really fun to draw graphics for! On other higher RAM systems there are just so many different ways to do things that you can get lost in options and code. I plan on making a game similar to this with some more advanced graphics and more to do. Thanks!!
