the 'trick' is that it uses sprites over a picture which has new attribute memory selected each 2 lines. that means you can use 2 colors in each 8x2 'cells' plus one color coming from sprites. the sprites are only in the 160x resolution, but its hidden by turning them under the '1' bits. furthermore...

Reminds me of what I thought when I first saw the demos: technically, this looks amazing, but the level design looks dreadful. well, sadly its not even technically THAT ammazing. the game could run on a multicolor bitmap screen easily, instead it uses charmode and wastes most of the cpu time on pla...

what I hate is when you are forced to do unnessesary repetitive keypresses to start a game/new round, or having to rewatch the same cutscene or effect before you are let into the playing part until you want to chew down your own leg. fex. need for speed most wanted: when you want to go to the next r...

I dunno why the C64 is so resource hungry when it comes to emulation, maybe it's the SID? Speccy was good though like you say. 1. the c64 disk drive is basically a standalone computer, and custom loaders upload a program into the drive to fasten up loading. so multiload games has to emulate even th...

of course neither of those lists should be taken too seriously, they just show a rough direction. both of them were done through freewill voters on the net which obviously does not represent anything seriously. and I'm pretty sure a list of 200-400 tunes could be filled with each one being a masterp...

rather funny than annoying, but definitely makes you feel you're in a game and not in the real world: - in COD2 when one died from your squad you got an instant replacement with no limits. - you had to approach enemy first and then your squad followed you this boiled down playing the game with this ...
