Spectrum Computing

The closest graphics mode on the c64 is the standard bitmap mode 320x200 (also referred to hires) and it's not linear either. The bitmap stores each 8x8 character as 8 consecutive bytes, it then has an area of screen memory that handles the colour, much like the Spectrum attributes.

That's absolutely right, forgot about that Simpsons game. It also saw numerous ports on the home micros.

The available on other platforms for the Batman game needs NES removing if that is the case. The only thing in common between Ocean's Batman and Sunsoft's NES version is the movie license. But maybe that's enough to warrant a mention in the database, I don't know. :? Looking at the NES maps ( http:...

Ocean's Batman has nothing to do with the NES games. Ghost and Goblins, Bionic Commando and Bubble Bobble are ports of the arcade games not of the NES versions.

Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles was ported from the NES to various home computers, including the Spectrum. Can't think of any other ports that originated on the NES.

Somebody, feel free to take my turn.

Yup, nicely done.

nay.

nope.

Yay!

Here's mine then...

Is it Vectron?

Darn. Your turn.

Nice!

This one might be a bit sneaky, probably not the first thing that pops into one's head when thinking of the game...

Nihilist? Looks a bit like Paradroid.

Correct! You're up.

Ok, my turn...

Ole, toro :/

Nice game! Though I don't see the point of having lives. This doesn't seem to feature the rewind function of the Game Boy game so I guess it's closer to the original Sharp MZ-700 version. Maybe that's something you could add in the future?

Correct! Yes, a bit short, but a fun little game.

Nice. Let's go with this one then..

Adventureland

The cutscene that plays when the pumpkin falls down from one of the high towers in Cauldron 2, it's missing some frames when compared to the c64 version, but it's neat nonetheless. The witch's cackle after the fall or when you lose a life also adds something.

a bootleg power pellet (or dot rather).

Let's go with this one then...

Hungry Horace?

Congratulations on the Italia 1944 release Alessandro! Always refreshing to see and play something different, and this genuinely is something else. The icon based user-interface is very intuitive, so while being a game with quite some depth, it's rather easy to get into. There are many hours of game...

Correct!
