@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

I believe Super Ghouls n Ghosts is seen as a sequel to Ghouls n Ghosts.

Hah! I’d never seen that before! I don’t think it looks too bad :)

I’ve certainly seen worse Amiga ports!

davetansley, to asklemmy in hey - trying to switch from Chrome to Firefox, what are your recommended extensions and/or quality of life addins, etc?
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

If, like me, you do a lot of Chromecasting from your browser, you’ll want to install fx_cast. You need to do a bit of manual installation to get it running, but it works great when you do.

@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

They 100% count!

davetansley, to asklemmy in What game did you play a ton of in the past, that you were never good enough to beat?
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much all of them… I have so many memories of old 80s computer games where all I remember is level 1. It appears that I was terrible and perfectly happy with that.

davetansley, to retrogaming in Retroid Pocket 2S
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t have the other devices to compare, but I understands that it should handle those platforms better than the 2+ and slightly worse than the 3+. So some playable games, but not all.

I tried a few GC games (Mario Kart Double Dash and Monkey Ball). They seemed to run okay. Monkey Ball ran worse than Mario Kart.

More powerful chipset and different dpad/left stick placement is the main one. Here’s a breakdown:

@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, it’s confusing, and not helped by the fact that they release a new one every couple of months.

@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

Funnily enough, that’s one of the reasons I went with the 2S over the 3+. I love the look of the old NGPC!

davetansley, to asklemmy in Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

Yep. Even when clicking the single checkbox captchas, I try really hard to click it “just like a human would”. Which is weird, because I am a human. I think.

davetansley, to technology in Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

I had a similar need, and it prevented me from moving to FireFox for a long while. Luckily, I did manage to get fx_cast to work, and it’s been flawless ever since. In fact, I’d say it work more reliably than Chrome’s casting!

davetansley, to retrogaming in The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit...
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

Except in the case of the Sega Master System, where the simplistic 8-bit graphics felt like a massive leap up from the terrible box art!

Ugh

davetansley, to retrogaming in Commando: A Home Port Comparison
@davetansley@lemmy.world avatar

Often it was because the ports were given to different companies to do… one would get the Spectrum/Amstrad and another would get the C64. Also, the whole sound and graphics systems would need to be rewritten, given the Spectrum’s lack of hardware sprites or scrolling, or decent sound. Presumably it just made sense to build them separately.

Can’t believe I missed that one! Sounds like it made some interesting compromises.
