Support NeoGAF

[theSlacker]

Such as? Not being a smart ass, I'd like to hear what you might think is problematic.

Input lag. No matter how good you make it there will always be some in the conversion along with whatever your TV natively has. The rest depends just on how good they get it, like scanlines on 1080p and what not. Along with stuff you would expect to not make the change, like light gun support.

The NES seems like a good place to start this on, since the options are already expensive, and I do hope it turns out good. I've just noticed him being really down on RGB and SCART in a few videos since the work started on the hdmi thing.

Spoiler

Also every time someone says "problematic" all I can think of is an old timey Rube Goldberg machine that just makes problems.

So are you duders more interested in his HDMI mod or Bunnyboy's AVS.

Both for different reasons. I like still using the original hardware since part of my nostalgia is still tied to that, but part of the appeal of Bunnyboy's thing is that it isn't tied to being able to continuously find and mod something that has been out of production for decades.

Edit: Dammit, just noticed we are in the wrong thread too...

I know Smash TV was on both, but think they were both (bad) attempted ports of the arcade version, not of each other.

Snake Rattle n Roll. Wily Wars.

Ghouls and Ghosts.
Batman
Ghostbusters

I find it fascinating that there were no Star Wars games on the Genesis but one on the Game Gear.

As long as nobody brings up any other system in the PC Engine thread. THAT THREAD IS SACRED AND NOTHING ELSE IS WORTHY.

 

[IrishNinja]

yeah, i personally think doing that in the PCE or neo geo threads is just mean, those both get criminally slept on in the average YT retro talk where it's generally NINTENDO NINTENDO sahnic OH MAN HOW BOUT SUPAH METROIDS

 

[Friend of Sonic]

I'm in a store with first party Genesis wireless controllers, two and the receiver for 40. Should I get them?

HEY GUYS, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MOST OVERLOOKED GAMES OF THE 16-BIT GENERATION

1. HAGANE
2. WILD GUNS
3. METAL WARRIORS
4. SPARKSTER
5. SUPER BONK

 

[MrCunningham]

Ghouls and Ghosts.
Batman
Ghostbusters

Batman and Ghostbusters are completely different games on the Genesis. Ghostbusters on the NES is a really terrible port of the Commodore 64 game, while the Genesis game is an original sidescroller made by Sega. Both Batman games were made by Sunsoft, but they played and looked different from each other. The NES game is the better one of the two.

Interesting that there wasn't a Star Wars game on the Genesis, the Game Gear game is a port of the NES game. There were two Star Wars games on the Sega CD and one of the 32x.

RC Pro AM has a Genesis port as well.

Do people really think that? Sparkster is minced ass compared to the original RKA.

 

[Xbudz]

It needs voltage to pin 16 on the scart to switch from Composite to RGB

I have that box, is there an easy way to add voltage to the scart cable?

Specialist boards and retro threads here are 1000% better places for retro enthusiasts.

Aren't the gng two totally different games?

Yep.

Ghosts 'n Goblins - Ghouls 'n Ghosts - Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts are three different games.

Ghouls and Ghosts.

All of those games are different from their NES counterparts.

Well since only the first two are actually worth talking about, no.

You know, I just realized this yesterday, too.

I bashed my brain against the wall for thirty minutes trying to think of one. I think the arcade game was the only Sega Star Wars game...ever?

edit: looked it up and was corrected. Fascinating.

Sega Lucasarts games:

Master System
Star Wars (American & European version)

Game Gear
Star Wars (American & European version)
Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Sega CD
Star Wars: Rebel Assault

32 X
Star Wars Arcade

Dreamcast
Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Star Wars: Demolition

Other games

Master System
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Action Game

Mega Drive
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Action Game
Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Game Gear
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Action Game

Sega CD
The Secret of Monkey Island

Saturn
Herc's Adventures

 

[GuyKazama]

The Sega CD also had a Star Wars chess game (by Software Toolworks).

 

[Timu]

Are they? I haven't played the NES version since launch.

Yes, the Genesis game is based off the arcade game from 1988 and is a sequel to the 1st game.

 

[Noahd41]

Yep.

Ghosts 'n Goblins - Ghouls 'n Ghosts - Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts are three different games.

Genesis version is the best by far. NES is brutal and the SNES is plagued by horrible slowdown. I felt it was near unplayable. The GBA iteration is very good though.

 

[stewy]

I do my best to give the Genesis its due on YouTube.

 

[Noahd41]

I tallied up my Sega collection today. I have 103 Genesis games (59 loose and 44 CIB), 17 Sega CD games, 2 32X games, 13 Saturn games and 2 Game Gear games. 137 total. Plus I've got a Game Genie, so I'm going to play a few games with infinite lives today...

 

[blast processed]

I have 79 Genesis games, all in a box most are complete & 30 Saturn games all complete. Never owned or used a game genie for either system, ever.

 

[A Black Falcon]

Sega games I have? These should be close:

Genesis + Sega CD + 32X + 32X CD Combined Total 279
Genesis 198 (inc. one Japanese import game)
Saturn 137 (inc. some Japanese import games)
Dreamcast 124 (inc. some Japanese import games)
Game Gear 75 (inc. some import games)
Sega CD 60 (inc. some Japanese import games)
Master System 45
Sega 32X 17
Sega 32X CD 4

I have more games for the Genesis+SCD+32X than any other console (ie not counting PC games), if the three count as one combined system.

which NES games got Genesis ports?

Battletoads
Batman: Revenge of the Joker? man im forgetting a bunch

Yeah, those two did. Some more from Rare, along with the first Battletoads:

RC Pro-Am has been mentioned; it's on Genesis as Championship Pro-Am.
Snake Rattle & Roll also has a Genesis version, though it was only released in Europe.
Battletoads Double Dragon for Genesis and SNES are clearly both based on the NES version.

A few from others:

Cosmic Spacehead (Genesis and others) is a port/remake of Linus Spacehead's Cosmic Crusade for the NES.

Micro Machines was originally a NES game before being ported to many platforms, including the Genesis.

I know Smash TV was on both, but think they were both (bad) attempted ports of the arcade version, not of each other.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd count something like Smash T.V. or Toki where both platforms got a port of an arcade game.

 

[ZealousD]

Do people really think that? Sparkster is minced ass compared to the original RKA.

Spoiler

The list was all SNES games. I chose Sparkster and Super Bonk to show how they ignore the Genesis and TG-16

 

[sixteen-bit]

Eh, OK. There was a Genesis Sparkster too (which was worse!).

 

[Spades]

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I really want a 32X. Sadly they're ridiculously expensive here in the UK.

Sounds like a serious illness. Consult a doctor immediately. Or just look at it's game lineup to induce vomiting and get whatever sickness you are going through out of your system.

 

[IrishNinja]

totally didn't know about RC pro am port, thanks ABF

also fuck how did i forget micro machines, love the shit outta that one

I do my best to give the Genesis its due on YouTube.

again, you do some of my favorite work, man~

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Hello Gen/Mega thread. It is I, Mikey "F-Bomb" Fassbender.

In your opinion, is there any better track on the console as a "FUCK THE FUCK OFF" portent than this one from Alien Soldier?

Thanks and have a great day/week/night/year.

 

[Evenball]

Another couple of games from the NES:

Bart Simpson vs The Space Mutants
Double Dribble TE (though it was an arcade game first)
Action 52

Edit: I would have picked The Adventures of Batman & Robin but each Boss has a different theme.

Maybe he wants to write some software for it. The hardware wasn't bad, just the library.
