Rainbow Islands DS
Quite an interesting idea. It seems you draw the rainbows with the stylus!

That actually looks like a bit of fun. I picked up a DS when they first came out.
Impulse purchase that hardly gets any use. |

Nice find Dast!
 I'd be very interested to experience how this plays. Sounds quite tricky to me... |

Yeah drawing rainbows with the stylus is good, but I can't imagine trying to walk, jump, dodge enemies and hold the stylus!

This post inspired me to dig up the Rainbow Islands ROM for the Gameboy Advance. I didn't even know it existed 'til now. It was labelled 'PD'. I wonder if that's an attempt to evade the anti-piracy org's wrath or if this was really converted by non-Taito people.
Interesting that collision with the enemies is non-existent. |

its 3d power seems like a N64 with expansion pack.. what also surprised me is that can be 3d in both screens at same time. |

I cannot see the point of the dual screens myself... so find the DS a waste of time.
Now if they had upped the screen res of the GBA-SP to 256*192 (from 240*160) it would have made a perfect ZX Spectrum emu toy.... and I prefer the look of the SP to the DS |
