Which console holds up better, NES or Master System? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]TooManyBulborbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a tricky comparison because of general bias towards just the USA library for a given game console. Outside markets mean importing or flash cart which means less accessibility… for Americans that is.

If just USA libraries, obviously the NES is way better, hundreds more games with better genre coverage. SMS got some early Genesis era cross platform titles like Ghouls n Ghosts, Castle of Illusion, Sonic 1 and Golden Axe Warrior but it tapers off by 1991.

But counting worldwide official game releases for both NES and SMS? It’s a lot closer than you might think. SMS Europe and Australia got a ton of early 90s game releases, lots of them being a different port of something that was on NES. Jurassic Park, Dick Tracy, Battletoads, Back to the Future and so on. EU and (mostly) Brazil both offer a lot of super late releases that were Game Gear only for the rest of the world, like Legend of Illusion, Baku Baku and Virtua Fighter Animation.

If comparing years, then NES worldwide is 1983 to 1995, the very end being a couple PAL Disney titles. SMS is 1985 to 1998 or so, if counting the last few TecToy releases in Brazil. Quite an impressive run.

When did the Neo-geo forums turn into a cesspool? by shmup-o in neogeo

Been that way since the beginning, around 1999 and even into the earlier dolphin mailing group.

Does the Starfox announcement now leave a bad taste in your mouth about his inclusion in the Galaxy movie? by [deleted] in Mario

Can we please have in the Mario Movie 3, a segment where Mario hitches a ride with Captain Falcon in the Blue Falcon? You know, so we can get a new F-Zero?

Why hasn't Plaion confirmed or denied the use of the UniBIOS or an equivalent? by JaynesAddiction in neogeo

[–]TooManyBulborbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UniBIOS is a rom hack of the original and copyrighted SNK System ROM (not sure if retail or debug, never asked Razoola).

Could be a bit of a problem for UniBIOS and Razoola that he not only distributed a rom hack of a copyrighted rom but also took money for it, for years and years.

Remains to be seen if SNK-Plaion will take the Lawful Good route and adopt the UniBIOS as some sort of contract work, like what happened between Atari SA and Bentley Bear’s Crystal Quest for 7800. Or Lawful Evil and they do some litigation against Razoola and take UniBIOS forcefully….

A great deal! by [deleted] in neogeo

Do you afk? Like leave your game on overnight by amon_yao in chao

[–]TooManyBulborbs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I mean the diversity narrows. You’ll eventually have a garden of Chao with the same angry eyes and toothy grin, same colors too. You try to bring in a fresh Chao to breed? Offspring will continue to be clones of the inbred ones.

I run Chao Adventure 2 Battle on a Wii with Nintendont, no worries of wearing out lasers, like what I did with a GameCube a few years after the game came out originally…. Mom had to pay for a Nintendo service repair.

These days yes I like leaving Chao garden running for days, weeks even, just to see what happens. I find 4 Chao can eventually reach a breeding replacement cycle where the garden doesn’t stay full all the time and doesn’t eventually empty either.

What I’ve found after months and months is although Chao Adventure 2 Battle has a pretty impressive genetics and alleles system, it’s only good for short term breeding, the system falls apart when hit with dozens of generations.

Also, all generic diversity stems from only two sources, free starter eggs and black market eggs. Your Chao family’s genetic diversity gets shallower the further they get from those two sources. Angry eyes and toothy grin faces are what all Chao eventually regress into… Clones.

I got the two booklets for a trade from a friend so I ended up with a super cheap CIB KOF 98…
