- Do all 256 color action games SUCK THE BIG ONE?
-
- I just brought _Comanche - Maximum Overkill_ back to Egghead. Game
- play was cool, the 256 color graphics were nice BUT the game CLUNKS
- ALONG with a screen refresh only once a second! 'Scuze me, but on a
- 386/25 w/8MB, THIS SUCKS! I picked up F15 Strike Eagle III thinking
- this had to be better, but there's the same CRAPPY one frame per sec
- animation! What gives? Can't someone design a 256 color game that's
- worth a SHIT?!
-
- I've been spoiled by Jet Fighter II... it is STILL the smoothest
- scrolling flight simulator on the market and it's over a year old!
- Granted there's little ground detail and no neat clouds, but if this
- is the price one pays for detail, they can keep it. That's over $100
- worth of games returned in less than a week... I still contend that
- most games written for the PC architecture SUCK!
-
- My friends laugh at what I consider acceptable and state-of-the-art
- in PC games. How can I argue since they play Super Nintendo and SEGA
- Genesis games with supercharged graphics processors? These game
- machines cost less than $150... When will someone mass produce a
- "Video Game Blaster" card with a DECENT graphics processor AND
- integrated Sound Blaster AND joystick port(s). I'd buy one in a city
- minute! This is a vast untapped market just waiting for some oriental
- mass marketer. I wonder if Ninetendo has anything in the works along
- these lines? Any comments?
