I think these are the same videos that I posted 10 years ago in post #01 of this thread. I don’t recall the AA member that was at CGE ‘99 and filmed these short clips, but he chimed in with a post early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youki Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Quote Wasn't one of the short videos shown, basically a video of the game "running", but the person who was recording the screen couldn't actually play the game, because he had to hold the camera? If only something like a "tripod" existed...or perhaps a 2nd person in existence in the world, wherein 1 person could hold the camera, and a 2nd person could pick up the controller and show some actual game-play! Eh, maybe next time in 30 years from now. a "Tripod"... you are crazy , don't you read or see "the war of worlds" from H.G Wells? ?

zyzzle Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Wow, I'm flabbergasted! At least 7 seconds of a video is progress! At this rate, in another 35 years, we just might have a one-minute video showing the actual gameplay at length! The actual rom will be locked away for centuries!

MotU is an average game at best, even on the Intellivision it's not one of the fondly remembered titles and almost no one talks about the 2600 port. I think all the interest in the Colecovision version is due to the hype surrounding the auction and the fact that some people want any new rom they can get a hold of.

Ikrananka Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Swami said: So strange: MOTU for MSX That's a straight port of the ZX Spectrum game "Masters of the Universe - The Movie". The poor MSX was plagued by straight Spectrum ports rather than being tailored to the strengths of the MSX. At least they avoided the dreaded Spectrum colour clash by making the play area monochrome - lol.

Ikrananka Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) And here's another awful MOTU game for the Spectrum. The YouTube comments with this one crack me up: The only sound this game has is the typical screeching during loading - after that - total silence. It does seem to be that many MOTU games left a lot to be desired....... Edited January 30, 2021 by Ikrananka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the holy grail of all rom images. The hype has been overwheming. I'd just like to play the .rom, see if it's actually fun to play, imagine what it would have been like back in '84, etc. Then, life would be complete, and we'd go back to boring normalicy! Proto roms and rarest of the rare have this allure, in spite of the quality of the game, or its playability. That goes in spades for the He-Man rom, even though I never like He-Man as a kid or even now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've played it much since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sn8k Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 And a rom "no one cares about" isn't exactly comparable to a vehicle let alone the whole line up of said vehicles. Just sayin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
