I’ve heard this before from a Russian speaker. I don’t understand how it got written this way. It drives me a little nuts trying to imagine how it became written as such. A translation that got fucked repeatedly until finally it was only bots reprinting it?
It also helps that the Genesis/Mega Drive was designed after the System 16 arcade board that many of these games used (and was also not a far stretch from the System 18).
Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to dig up all the old ports and play them.
I’m fascinated by the way the older ones in particular were basically completely different games… it’s a far cry from these days where the main versions differ only in whether they’re 1080p or 900p or something.
This was a fun comparison and reminds me of the old gaming mags with ads that showed screenshots side by side of each system for a given game. There was an ad for Batman: The Movie and I always thought I was getting screwed with only having access to the NES version…
This was especially a problem with for ZX Spectrum owners… they were, shall we say, a little bit reluctant to show Speccy buyers exactly what they were getting.
Sorry about that, following so many communities at first after joining Lemmy good stuff dropped off the bottom. Unsubscribed to a few so I can catch what I need.
I’ll look up that R-Type post, I spent a fortune on that cab as a bairn I should have shares in Irem.
