Re: [NEC_Avenue] Re: Worst TG16/PCE games

From Drake Woods <xxxxxx@yahoo.com>

I feel that the Turbo's potential was missed most of
the time with some lazy programmers.  There's alot of
games that could've had smooth paralax, or atleast
SOME paralax scrolling, like in Strider.  It's a
ficken Arcade CD.  Yeah, if you compare it to the Gen
version, there is more detail in the graphics
themselves, but, with no paralax.  Heck, just the fact
that the Turbo's Arcade card, loads 18 megabits in one
level(that includes the music), & the Gen version is 8
megabits, shows me that some of the programmers were
lazy.  Technically, they could've loaded the whole Gen
version in one shot(if they didn't use redbook audio).
 Just something to think about.  BTW, Ys 1 & 2, also
has some of that crappy scrolling.  Remember when you
are going up the bell tower?  In the sideview parts,
it scrolls the same crappy way.
