Mayhem Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The number of audio channels available. The SID generally had three, four at a push when samples appeared, so you sacrifice a channel for SFX, and thus writing a tune in only two channels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_convoy Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Always thought that Time Soldiers on the Master System was an underrated port. I mean, it probably isn't, but I have some nostalgic attachment to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 The Chinese have gone and tried to make a SNES / SFC Classics mini in typical style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) A loved Gain Ground back in 1990 on the Mega Drive. I'm surprised it's taken me 205 show to finally get around to covering it. Edited February 10, 2018 by Yakumo1975 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I'm liking the Master System sound on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Q*Bert? What's a Q*Bert? Find out what and how many on this week's Battle of the Ports. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derFunkenstein Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I had both the 2600 and VIC20 ports of QBert as a kid. Loved the VIC20, and glad to see it included here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yakumo1975 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Qix was a pretty fun but not really a looker of a game so Taito followed it up with Volfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I didn't realize that Qix had a sequel. Cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Clae Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I wish I could remember which version of Volfied I played. Kyros is cool. I wanted to use music from ADK's Super Stingray for my video but couldn't find any way to get it without sfx.

Yakumo1975 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 The Cool Baby RS-97 is the new Chinese handheld that everyone can afford at round $50 US. But should you buy one? Is it worth it if you can't mod a console with simple steps? Let's take a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Not bad that one of those things don't suck for once, at least when you put in the right programs to run the old games. Also surprising to see that Diablo proof of concept demo for the old GB on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also surprising to see that Diablo proof of concept demo for the old GB on there. I was very surprised to see that Diablo there too. Its funny what we can find on these clones at times. I'll be doing a hack video for next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 It was sold as an all new game and in some ways it was due to the new hardware but just how good were the ports of Race Drivin'?

Let's take a look on Battle of the Ports. Wow, I can't believe they even tried to make a Game Boy port, and I can't believe even more that it worked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 Wow, I can't believe they even tried to make a Game Boy port, and I can't believe even more that it worked. They did a great job on the GB game and it's what helped Argonaut get the deal with Nintendo to make Star Fox. Capcom made so many great games that were't fighters. Let's take a look at a true gem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebulon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Satan's Hollow would be a good one to compare across systems. The C64 port is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 This week’s Battle of the Ports is from that wacky developer, Data East. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Doesn't have an obstacle warning on the C64 version? That's damn near game breaking... Never really played it, though. Thought of it as a "cute-em-up" version of Spy Hunter which I played a lot of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yeah, I remember playing that C64 version with the weird, out-of-place music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 The C64 version wasn't official... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 The C64 version wasn't official... Yeah, and I also remember it being called Burning Rubbers instead of Bump-N-Jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
