ShadeCS's channel

@mitzibishi

It's not pure scaling, it's just a line duplication effect (which every 16bit era system can do easily, even the Atari-ST).

As I've said like 3 million times, go see a Sonic 3D Blast special stage, it does the same effect.

If you want to see full "mode-7" on the genesis check out Pi...

@Pirochiro

The VDP can do 16px column scrolling on the backgrounds. You can to a 30º tilt by mixing that with line scrolling.

You don't need prerendering for horizontal scaling, with fixed animation speed you can store which columns need doubling and update only those tiles, packed pixels make ...

@ShadeCS continued:

SOUND: 6 channel WSG chip with PCM capabilities, can do PCM just as well as the genesis but far easier to program (used in very few games, dunno why), see: watch?v=jdWYOHPV6Uw (it's not CD audio). WSG is only slightly weaker than FM (extra code for certain effects), it's easie...

@sonhighguy

Oh I'm not trying to sell you the Sega CD, just pointing out there's some really powerful hardware in there. It simply was not explored enough due to all the FMV craze and quick Genesis+CD audio ports.

I do think this game looks really good though, very nice selection of colors. And ...

"SNES had a more powerful sound chip"

No, the snes had a sample based soundchip with severe filtering and little available ram for samples, therefore the sound was muffled, A LOT. It was more advanced, which is not the same as more powerful, there are a lot of things you can do o...

Hum... we're in agreement that their's no transition possible "junior", I've graduated high school a long time ago with great grades I might add, thanks for caring.

I'm talking about the studies that show the impact of environment in human behavior, largely disproving "human nature"

You must be REALLY good at adventure games

Man the 5th zone music is just amazing, that PSG chip is getting raped!

And I thought TLA 2 had good music... I really need to finish this game.

Der Langrisser (SNES), Langrisser 2 (Mega Drive), and the remake of the original langrisser for the PC Engine are all amazing games.

Langrisser 2 for the Mega Drive is the best though.

@mistertitanic

The genesis sound chip can output better quality music than the snes, it's just a lot harder to work with.

geckoyamori has made renditions of megaman and other games (like axelay) on a YM2612/SN76489 emulator and they sound just as good or even better than the snes counterparts. ...

@ShivaIndis

Upon further investigation, you're correct.

Sounds like complete ASS compared to both the PC engine and Mega Drive versions, and yet it's still great.. heh.
