Remember reading an article in 1995 where some Nintendo rep estimated that 2% of their customers used copiers in Europe (probably a lot more in Asia). EDIT: Here's Jackie Chan using a copier back in the day, looks like he is playing UN Squadron. Last edited by modrobert; 18 February 2024 at 17:05. Reason: Remembering the double standards, added Jackie. |

If you were a gamer back in the early 90s, besides the arcades (coin-up), consoles was the way to play, home computers were second (no offense intended, sometimes buggy releases, less quality overall). Last edited by modrobert; 14 December 2023 at 06:36. |

Worms is one of those games, like Lemmings, that are particularly suited to bitmap based displays (because of the destructibility of the scenery). Porting it to a tile based console is a pretty challenging feat.

The hacked Xenon 2 ROM definitely looks better than the released version. |
