gonna have to go back and play it.

@@gamingquarterly6353 you have to keep using the temporary invincibility from the gold orbs to move in real close and then you back off. Hammer dukes 6 ability is very powerful but it doesn’t have good range.

Damm. I completely forgot about that. I'm working on my next video about advergames and that one will be a nice addition to it. Thanks!

Not if you're Sony or Sega.😆

@@gamingquarterly6353 😂

Atari did not cause the crash, but they had a huge part in it. You are also correct in stating the crash did not happen across the pond. This was a north american thing. However, companies did take notice of what had happened. In Japan, they call it the Atari Shock. I go into some detail on this on my Nintendo video and the 10NES system.

I gotta check it out. Interesting. Thanks for the heads up!

That phrase alone is iconic now to all retro gamers.

@@gamingquarterly6353 100%

I agree. How it is not on the switch NES lineup is a crime.

Very true. Gameplay is the same, but I wanted to seperate the two to make sure I gave as much titles the spotlight as opposed to me cramming way too many titles into one video series. I do have a Hack and Slash series as well.

@@gamingquarterly6353 great video

not the original. I forgot where I found this one. I will look for it and reply back once I do find it.

@@phoenixmixgaming4625 I cant find the dump but tomorrow I can upload the folder which is 1.23GBs to me Mega account and you can take it from there. I will send you more info once you get the files.

@@gamingquarterly6353 thx

I would not be surprised. Those hints and the translation overall were awful. I am one of the few that actually still likes this game despite the flaws.

I hear you. Physical collections are my thing as well. I still have my original Master System and Phantasy Star, CIB. Some systems I have sold over the years along with my games and I regret that.

@@gamingquarterly6353 aye same here bro, but I have manage now when one is older and wiser and have more money to buy some of them back 😅

Glad to be of help!

Can't say that I have. But I am defintetly gonna look that one up. thanks!

@@gamingquarterly6353 i would definitely play it on mobile not on pc,the story is cool,and the dlc lets you buy a space station to dock all your loot and space ships ,definitely play with the dlcs. Collecting loot to build the unique gear to make your spaceship better is the fun part,the story is funny. The controls are great .

I had to look this up. You aren't kidding. 😄

no doubt. I actually liked it and wish I could have played it back then to truly enjoy it and not see it from a retrospective point of view, especially the tank like controls that were prevalent and considered normal back then.

I had to look that up. Interesting stuff. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Cards were a big deal back then. I recall collecting the Garbage Pail Kids and the TMNT tv show cards, which I still own. I also have the Lion King collection...for some reason. A cheesy Tim Burton dinosaur movie sounds like something I would have enjoyed back then.

Don't forget far Side also has cows, mosquitoes, aliens, worms, lions...😄 The flintstones did make a big comeback in the late 80s and early 90s. Weird to think about it. I have never played Eternal Champions but I do recall the big brute in Time Killers. What a weird time that was.

I agree. I loved both games when they came out. That translation in CV2 was just criminal. Penty of recent rom hacks fix many issues in those games if you wish to revisit them. check out my ROM Hacks episode for a peek at some options out there. Battle of Olympus is great. Gonna be covering that one down the road at some point in time.

AHHHH! How did I miss out on DIno Riders??? Had to Google it and it brought back memories! I didn't remember the name but once I saw pictures of the toys...oh man. My friend had a few of those. I completely missed EVO Theory of Evolution. Dang. Thanks for the heads up.

I did not take that into consideration. Interesting. Conan was huge in the late 70s and early 80s in comics before the movies. I guess in some ways, that led to He-Man being popular as well.

The Geico commercials came out in the early 2000s. I assume you mean those. If there are others, I have not seen them.

I thought about adding Chrono Trigger to the list, but instead just used the OST music for that era in the background.

😄

Glad you found it. I had not played that game for the longest time before I was able to find an image of the laserdisc and a specificically made emulator to run it. Thanks for watching!

I got the info from Wikipedia. It says 4 channels x 8 bits per channel= 32 bits. You are right, I am sure it wasn;t used to full specifications. Maybe this was a situation like the Intellevision, which has a 16 bit CPU but was never fully utilized. thanks for the info. I know nothing about audio specs or underlying technology. 😁

@@gamingquarterly6353 Nah, there's 4 separate channels with an 8-bit DAC each, giving 256 levels of sound. That's all, you can't combine them together to make 16 bits or anything. Their outputs are just mixed together to play at the same time. You could technically do the same with jst one DAC, and combine the values of your 4 channels together in software, just averaging the values out. But that's a lot of maths (well, not THAT much on a 16MHz CPU). So for whatever reason, they put 4 DACs in there. Because it was cheap enough, probably. Later changes apparently gave them volume controls so you could do stereo panning on the Lynx II. So, 4 x 8 bits, it doesn't make any sense to multiply them together, it doesn't correspond to the real hardware. Just 4 DACs, each playing it's own sound, together, independent of each other.

@@greenaum I see your point. Makes a little more sense now. I guess the Lynx placed them there for maybe future use, assuming the handheld got popular, allowing them to do more sophisticated sounds in later games? Who knows.

@@gamingquarterly6353 I think they were there intended for use straight away and probably were used. The N64, for example, claimed hundreds of sound channels, all output through one DAC, mixing them using software like I described earlier. Obviously the N64 had a lot more CPU power than the Lynx, but the Lynx still had plenty. Then again, DOS games used to offer slower sound mixing rates on slower computers, around the time of the 386 and 486, so it's probably more difficult than I gave it credit for. So probably having 4 is an advantage for programmers, you just assign 4 sound channels to their own DAC each. It makes sense, really. Cuts down on processing. Also I've read some more, and the Lynx's sound wasn't just generated in software, it had sound-generating hardware using modified counter circuits, and those could output to the DACs too. Similar to the analogue sound channels on older consoles, but in this case generated entirely digitally, using digital circuits, then only turned to analogue by the DAC at the final stage. So it gives it digital synthesis. Using 4 separate generators would be a reason to have 4 DACs. They still could have mixed it all in the digital domain, then fed it to just one DAC (or two for stereo), but they decided one DAC per channel and do the mixing in analogue, after the DACs, instead. There probably wasn't a lot of advantage in one way over the other, so they chose for their own reasons.

You know I learned about the pendant thing afterwards. I guess I should feel really proud for finishing the game all these years many times with the pendant. so should everyone out there that did so as well.
