  • Amiga > X68k

  • is the whole version purely slowdown or have my eyes gone wrong?

  • @ojideagu Didn't know about that, but seems to be true somehow. Nintendo somehow controlled almost every game that was released for NES, just take a look a title/credits screens.

  • @Airiin14 Yeh, only banned for Legal reasons hence the value now. I have no idea how the DS version was allowed! Nintendo must have mellowed in their old age, or bought the rights.

    I've read from the old Namco boss that Nintendo were tyrants in Japan in the 80's, holding 98%

    of the market. Namco tried to sue them but lost so the Boss of Nintendo made him crawl back on his knee's

    to apologise and continue making games for them at for awful rates. They controlled every single NES release.

  • @ojideagu Yeah, Giana is one of my top ten best games ever created. Only a few sold out? Doesn't matter, as it's as popular (amongst old school fans of course) as Final Fantasy. And now it has a new NDS version.

    And sure, Konami released quite a few ports of their own games for C=64. But it's hard to track all the releases for all the platforms, it needs to be a real game geek. Just like me for example.

  • @Airiin14 HA wow! You've heard of the Great Giana sisters? That was an official game that was removed from sale after a week, it was a total ripp off of Mario bros but with girls. They even taunted Nintendo in their adverts!! It's one of the most valuable games to find now as so few sold.

    Sure, Konami probably had no clue it existed lol although they did release Games for commodore i think.

  • @ojideagu It was also a commercial game, but I think Konami don't even know about it. :)

  • @Airiin14 Oh right, you didn't say one person made it. I'm surprised he wasn't sued, unless

    it was given away free. Although plenty of games on the BBC micro were rip offs of

    official games!!

  • @ojideagu Was he - this is generally a one person project from A to Z (I think even the voice of Gunbee is his). No, he wasn't. How could he afford to buy a license from Konami?

  • @Airiin14 So this is a version of Twinbee Yahho! ? Were they not allowed to call it Twinbee?
