Darius Plus works properly and it does have the sprite flicker reduction. I think Darius Alpha was the first game I played on my SuperGrafx when I got the system and it's definitely unchanged from how it is on the regular PC Engine. It's been about a year since I looked into it, but Chris Covell looked into the code and found that Alpha has an earlier build date than Plus does. Not sure if that's related, but I suppose it's possible that they hadn't implemented the sprite flicker reduction before they printed the HuCARDs. Maybe they forgot or something. Not really sure what happened, but Chris Covell is the dude to ask about it if you want to learn more.

ok cool, Chris is on this forum im guessing?

Interesting. One thing that I'd probably recommend fixing is Darius Alpha; it's not actually SuperGrafx enhanced. It seems it was meant to be, but it's identical on both the PC Engine and on the SuperGrafx. There is no reduction in sprite flicker at all on the SuperGrafx. Chris Covell can tell you more about that.

good to know how about Darius plus, is that the same?

I have a little tip. Maybe you could add a page to explain the items i circled in the picture. Or better the full layout of the page explained. Just to get people up to speed. In the front of the book just before the alphabet listing.

 

Some i got after a few pages, like the green circle around the disc displaying the amount of space the game uses on the disc, and the logo’s in the bottom showing on what other systems the game is available. I know the logo’s but maybe for those not into logo’s it would be nice to add a list of logo’s and the system they represent.

 

But i don’t know what the little icons mean that are shown at the trivia section. Found them in the back of the book. But it would be better to put this in front of the reviews.

Other add-ons: make a list of peripherals one can expect.

You mention cheats available, but you do not list them. Would be nice to included them, maybe as a addendum in the back of the book.

Funny you should say that I did have at one time a layout page detailing the game page layout but I could never get it 100% perfect and yes it was going right before the contents.

And yes the 3 reasons you pointed out were the reason for it, I decided against it in the end because I couldn't justify a whole page for 1just these 3 things.

 

I figured the ring around the cd would be pretty self explanatory or if it didn't it stood out enough to make the reader look into it  like you guys have and quickly figured it out.

 

As for the icons I added a page dedicated to this in the stats section at the back to explain this, that said I could link those icons to the page in the back to take you straight there (could be done in an update).

 

Lastly the port logos I tried to keep as recognizable as possible, I was really close to linking those to a page on the website giving the details of each system but in the end that would have delayed the book further so I canned it, but again this could be added in an update.

 

Cheats, hmmm I guess time was my biggest issue here testing every cheat takes time especially for the finicky ones, as for where to put them I was going to put them in trivia if there wasn't much in there for a chosen game but then some would have it and some wouldn't and that would annoy me, pages at the back of the book isn't a bad idea though.

 

Thanks for the feedback it really helps, I will give it some thought and maybe add some of these for future updates to the book!

Just gotta say got the email for the Supergrafx, pleasantly surprised it was free (I know it's only 7 games but still!) so grabbed it straight away. I know this is not a totally new idea, but tends to only be for the "popular" systems. You just need to do a complete set of every console ever made now ?

Yep Im working on it

[NEC SuperGrafx Motherboard image]

Im putting together my next Screenpedia encyclopedia on the NEC SuperGrafx and I was wondering if anyone had a hires image of a SuperGrafx motherboard I can use in the book.

Also if you know where I could find one online that could work too.

I had only seen them when I lived in Toronto Ontario back then, huge city and yet I seen one in Sam the Record Man top floor on a dusty shelf and another on the outskirts of the city in a tiny little PC shop, they at least knew what they had. I was in no position to buy though I wanted one badly. But they were certainly rare but consider even the regular AMIGA brand was not much of a thing for us outside of circles of fans into multimedia computers or if you were in some type of technical business that used them of  production. 

The Amiga brand in Australia was pretty big and we generally got things last! Its kind of weird to think it wasn't big over there they had some awesome tech!

Perfect figured it might be the case, I guess they were pretty rare in Canada?

Are the systems that were meant for the US obviously different than Canadian ones?

Not sure if Canada uses the ntsc format and same power voltages but if they do should work

My local game store just got a boxed CD32 in. Were these actually released in the US? If so, is it hard to tell a US system from a UK system?

Never released in the US officially, alot were imported from Canada back in the day though. All the stock that was due for the US got auctioned of in the late 90s so there will be some floating around.

After 2 long years my Amiga CD32 Digital Encyclopedia (found here https://screenpedia.online/?product=album ) is finally finished! I would like to thank everybody that helped along the way whether it was answering one of my hundreds of questions or simply lending support. As a thankyou to the Amiga community I have added a discount code "amigalove" that can be added at the checkout to save around 28% off the purchase. Lastly for those that purchase the book and find any mistakes or missing facts about any of the games I will fix them and release an updated version at no extra charge for life. I hope you enjoy the Amiga CD32 Digital Encyclopedia!

[Missing Master System game developers]

Some of the "great" series of games have been proven by http://gdri.smspower.orgto be developed by other companies and not just Sega.

 

Great Golf - Whiteboard

Great Volleyball - Sanritsu

 

Makes sense as Sega probably couldn't have developed them all in house in a short amount of time

[Missing Master System game developers]

I am currently working on a project to list all the Sega Master system games and the people who created them.

I am having trouble finding the developers for the following games and was hoping someone could help me out.

I have cross referenced my information with the leading SMS sites and they have either conflicting information or suspect someone else did it.

Proof would be awesome if you have it otherwise just your reason why would be great!

 

Great Basketball

Klax

Montazumas Revenge

Ms Pacman

PGA Tour Golf

The Pro Yakyuu - Pennant Race

Sega World Tournament Golf

Streets of Rage

Submarine Attack

Ultima IV

Wonder Boy in Monster World

World Games

 

 

[Your Top 3 Sega Master System games?]

Kenseiden

Shinobi

Phantasy Star

 

Honorable Mention:

Wonder Boy 3

Rastan

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

 

The Sega Master System was a great little console. Very underrated

Played Kenseiden for the first time the other day and man its a hard game. Also I thought Wonderboy 3 would have turned up more, very surprised!

[Your Top 3 Sega Master System games?]

Hang-On - it come with it and was the only game I had for some time, so loved it.

Choplifter - Best version I think, great pick up and play game, and just feels so mastersystemy

Enduro Racer - Again not much actual game, but so different from all the others as well as adding upgrades etc

 

I recently reviewed Choplifter on my channel, if anybody is interested you can see the link in my sig... Enduro Racer is on my soon to do list also, love the Mastersystem...

Man I loved Enduro Racer and I only found out recently that in the west we got a cut down version of the game!!

In the western version we had 5 levels repeated twice on a 128kb cart, where as in Japan they had 10 individual levels with addition graphics on a 256kb cart.

[Your Top 3 Sega Master System games?]

So you guys that like Sonic on the SMS.. did you also have the Genesis version (since that came out before the SMS version) prior, and yet still enjoy it on the SMS? Just curious

I had it first on the sms as I didnt have a Genesis at the time and it was a pretty good version keeping in mind the levels were totally different to the genesis version.

Mind you once I upgraded to a Genesis I never went back.

Wow didnt think Parlour games would feature,nice.
