Downland1983

Oh, I didn't doubt that a higher end (at the time) 1987 computer would have better graphics than the NES, which itself was based on 1983 Famicom hardware. I can see your point regarding the cheapness of the ST/Amiga software compared to NES cart prices in the UK making up for the hardware price disparity though. I guess it would even out in the long run from that perspective.

1987 US Population: 242.3 million 1987 Japan Population: 122.1 million Of course it was going to sell more in the US than it's home country. With more than double the consumers available to sell to, that's a fact for nearly every major console released globally. If Japan outsells the US as a territory on a worldwide system, it's usually because the system itself failed like the Sega Saturn or Play Station Vita. By the way, with a choice between this: (ZX Spectrum), and this: (NES) or this: (Commodore 64), and this: (NES) I really don't understand how "The NES didn't looked like the thing you'd like to buy." I realize that's how it went down, but I still don't get it. To each their own though, I guess.

Those tiny white bullets can easily get lost in the clouds as they approach you. I never had Time Pilot in the 80's, so this is my first experience with it. I'm very much enjoying it though.
