THEN it's not so bad! Of course, Japanese TVs were typically smaller back then and the arcade's monitor wasn't that large. I think it does scroll much better than Space Harrier II and Panorama Cotton even, but they should have redrawn some of the graphics. The best port is the Saturn version I guess because of the extra levels and cool CG opening, but it doesn't have the weird laid-back Mega CD exclusive soundtrack. <br /><br />I really like this game and oddly I feel it's the only game to really capture the Blade Runner type futurism right without being cheesy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742813618758333424.post-57256714001320161882012-05-07T02:25:23.675-03:002012-05-07T02:25:23.675-03:00I've never been sure why the graphics are so b...I've never been sure why the graphics are so bad. Lazy port or was it the only way they could keep the gameplay smooth? I'm convinced they could have redrawn the sprites (at least your ship/car and the common enemies?) because it looks like they used a computer program to automatically translate the arcade graphics to the Genesis's color palette without adjustments. There's just a lot of graphics in it that have no excuse for being so pixellated because they aren't even used for scaling, like when it shows the boss readouts in the corner. <br /><br />At the same time though I wasn't convinced it was a sloppy port because it was the only one during its time and they added the extra, new soundtrack plus the live-action opening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
