    TAKE THAT! Compare the screenshot of the title screen of Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog. The second in particular proves it.

    TAKE THAT! The Sonic the hedgehog picture is dithered around the edges of the flag!

    The video chip in the Genesis could only handle 256 colours, while the Super Nintendo could manage 16-bit colour and transparency! There's no way you could say those specs were similar!

  9. Make the interface not suck by Kamineko · · Score: 1 · on Resurrecting Old Games, What Works?

    If you're going for a 'change as little as possible' angle, try and improve the interface of some part of the game. Give it a decent level select so people can try different parts whenever. (If in doubt, look up Perfect Dark's level select rules.)

    That's basically the story behind the 'two D-pad scrolling method', level select, 'shoulder pause', 'frame advance' and zoom features in Lemmings DS.

    Make it so that people can focus on the game rather than battling against the keyboard for what they need to do. (Remember the DOS version of D/GENERATION?)

    I agree with what you are saying though. I don't buy flash carts or mod chips to play homebrew stuff. I might be buying a PSP very soon now as well.
