An absolute classic of the C64 for me. That version really does shine, though the Master System also looks great!
I feel the Amiga (can you tell we were a Commodore family?) looks put to shame by the Mega Drive a little, for the 16bit ones, but it’s interesting to hear your thoughts on it being more like a reimagining.
Thanks so much for doing these write ups, they’re really fascinating and in depth.
Wow, I totally forgot about this one. I used to play it all the time when I was a kid. I think I bonded with it because my family moved to California around that time and I had trouble fitting in (a-la Daniel-san), so I think partially it was my way of simulating being a native as silly as that sounds. Anyway, I had the NES version, but your write-up is making me want to try a Sega ROM of it. Thanks for the nostalgia blast!
I mean, I didn’t take notes or anything, but given how much I played, looking back I think it was some sort of coping mechanism. Moving can be tough on kids.
Thats a very creative way of using old Laptop parts where I would probably not manage to pull one of them off. I have already ordered 8gb of ram and a 500gb SSD to give it a few more years of life.
A thing you didn’t mention to improve thermals is to take it apart remove the dust from the cooler and maybe change the thermal past, that laptop came with windows 8 (released in 2013) literally 10 years ago.
