What are some arcade ports you'd like to see covered?
@NightSprinter8 ай бұрын
Three I can think of would definitely be Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ikari Warriors, and Commando. Mostly because oddly enough the Atari ST and Amiga ports of those three are some of the best ports to those two computers (due to Elite being the developers). I'd go as far as to say the ports of Commando to Amiga/ST and GnG to Amiga were literally THE best before the PS1 and Saturn "Capcom Generation" series came out.

"Rampage" for the Lynx uses the system's link cable to play with up to 4 players simultaneously. Having actually done this a few times, it may just be my favorite way to play the game. Having the ability to "hide" from other players by trying to avoid their screen adds some strategy to the play. Incidentally, it started as a different game but was licensed and converted into a "Rampage" port. Thanks for posting!

That wasn't just the Amiga, all the British Micros had such issues. That is, when the publisher didn't instead just decide to get some high school student to do the "port", or alternatively, just pay some bedroom coder for an already existing game and quickly slap in some text linking it to the franchise. British Micros had it tough back in the day, which is why you find so many more UK fans of weird Euro-jank such as Zool and James Pond. They didn't know any better, and we should pity them, not judge them. We can also chuckle a bit too, politely, as long as it's not to their faces.

Ah, Amiga versions, my childhood. Usually ported very cheaply by three guys, with the music done by a friend who did electronic music as a hobby hence not caring about being authentic, he just wanted to put his own tunes out there, it's why you get things like the RoboCop music many of you know from the GB port of the 1988 Arcade. This also explains why a lot of games would be music *or* sound effects, as the composer was used to having all four channel to themselves. Better games would either use three and leave one for sound, or put higher pitched instruments on a shared channel as it's less obvious when they get supressed by SFX. Without sprite limits to contend with you could usually sling everything on screen (and look good in screenshots), but at the cost of performance. Crushing the viewport was common so you could save some power and didn't have to rescale the game for PAL and NTSC, but the games were often developed in PAL-land leaving the speed feeling a bit too fast and jerky in NTSC like Rampage here. Generally it could do okay on on 80s arcades if the budget was there (the port of Golden Axe is perfectly servicable), but these were games made to a price point of £15 and often lower, so you were unlikely to get parity with the consoles.

In the case of RoboCop, Jonathan Dunn was one of Ocean's in-house musicians, so that's not quite the case here. The title track is in both the GB and C64 versions of the game. The reason it's linked to the GB version is that's what the Ariston exec who came up with the idea of using it in an ad heard. The C64 version is better as the SID is a more capable synthesiser (and Dunn made great use of it) than the GB's PSG, but they're both great!

I love Time Soldiers. It was the first arcade cabinet I bought when I started getting a few as an adult years ago. I still play it regularly. There's a lot of nuance to the power-up system, especially in how the P icon gives you rapid fire. It not pnly does that, but also uses your power up meter as a life bar, which you can refill by grabbing another P or any weapon. The tricky part is that you can stack each of the 3 weapons up to 3 times to dramatically increase their power, which makes boss fight dramatically easier. However, getting hit in Power Up mode lowers your weapon meter imstead of losing a life. So, grabbing a new weapon can save your life, but could make you weaker if it isn't the same weapon you were using. It's a great risk-reward mechanic that can affect your routing quite a bit. It also has a random element, where the first stage is randomly chosen from the first 3, and when you clear them all, stages 4 and 5 are then shuffled as well. This makes managing your power ups amd learning what weapons appear frequently in each stage very rewarding, allowing you to stay powered up for pretty much the whole game if you're savvy enough with it. Also, in the Powered-up mode, your weapon bar gradually depletes not as you shoot, but as you move. This rewards you for mastering the rotary controls amd moving efficiently, which is cool. That final stage is nasty no matter how you slice it. There are versions on PSP and the SNK 40th Anniversary collection for Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam as well. These are easy to write off as emulation, but in absence of rotary sticks, it's notable that they handle the controls differently. On PSP, you use the shoulder buttons to cycle through the 12 rotary positions one by one. It can feel very slow and clunky. SNK 40th treats it more like a twin stick shooter with some tweaks. Neither work as well as the rotary stick. There is a new rotary stick controller that only works on PC, although it has its issues, it's as close as there is available in absence of the real deal. The emulators on PSP and SNK 40th are not the same either, and actually screw up the randomization of the levels.

I get the impression that the mostly European developers working on Commodore computers just liked going crazy with the soundtracks more than anything else (some of them even went on to have real careers as composers), which is why you get so many cases of otherwise awful games having great music that may or may not be adapted from the original arcades, and the soundtracks took priority over the effects, so the music would hog all the sound channels and leave you with a choice between either music or effects but not both. People who grew up with those computers would just turn the game on so they could hear the music and not bother playing the games.

The reason you don’t usually hear both the PSG & FM together is due to a technical issue with the original Japanese FM add-on. The register to enable both simultaneously wasn’t implemented correctly until the later JP Master System, meaning that all retail games set the soundtrack to FM only for compatibility. The only game which sets the register to use both is the fanmade hack of Sonic 1 on the SMS by Valley Bell.

In the tradition of eating things while watching GameSack, I wolfed down a can of black beans with copius amounts Tabasco. Don't judge me yo. It's the middle of the night and I don't wanna cook.

I just toss a couple cans of spicy chicken noodle on the stove for like 5 minutes and chow down lol

The ultimate game - a game that plays itself! What it's all about? Beating the game! Awesome show, Joe!

You have to praise Atari to try different things, even between ports

Never play arcade ports on the Amiga unless the port is done by Ocean. There might be here and there a good port made by another company but generally you can be sure to have a bad time. Btw. the Amiga is by far my favorite system.

Now that I've watched the episode, I can properly comment on 😅 Whenever I see those old arcade ports and what people have been doing today with original games in the retrogaming community, I keep wondering: If development time and memory cost weren't an issue, how many of those games could've been "arcade perfect" or nearly so. I mean, for example, when you see people working on ports of Final Fight or Sunset Riders for the Genesis, there was clearly more potential there.

Oh yeah, definitely! These all could have been much better if they weren't constrained by money and time.

I played so much Rampage on the C64 before I even knew it was an arcade!

I love it how Joe's doing retro games videos predominantly, because he can't grasp analog stick controls :D!

The older the game the easier it is to explain it.

I wonder at the relevance of Actraiser (his t-shirt). Any theories regarding how he wore it deliberately the way he and Dave used to have somewhat on-theme shirts in older videos? I think Dave might have done their review of it back in the day but it's not very arcade-like or even Game Sack - ish game.
