Concerning ROMs....
March 19, 2008
OK. Felix was nice enough to recommend a few easy NES ROMs to download so I could write a review for this tourney. They included Bubble Bobble, Parasol Stars, and Rainbow Islands. I've been leading towards RI.
However, searching the 'net for this game, I discovered something...
That there are two "versions" of the game. There's an old version and a new version, the new one being at least 400kb more. I'm not sure which one to download because I don't know what the difference between the two is. And if there's a huge difference, that could determine how I rate the game.
Any suggestions?
Also, feel free to recommend more ROMs - I might want to check more out later after this thing.

Felix_Arabia - March 19, 2008 (09:58 PM) Isn't Bad Dudes supposed to suck? I'm pretty sure there is only one version of NES Rainbow Islands. It's officially called Rainbow Islands: The Story of Bubble Bobble 2. If there is another version that's larger, maybe it's an altered one? I don't know. The official one is JP only, and its graphics are its greatest weak point (I think). |

wolfqueen001 - March 20, 2008 (09:43 AM) Thanks, pup - I'll keep those in mind for later. And after talking for a bit with Felix about this, turns out I mistook any "old versions" for something else entirely. >_> I somehow didn't notice that what I was looking at was really the Arcade version. ^^; Silly me. Though I suppose I can blame part of my confusion for Gamefaqs' way of listing games - it had just "Rainbow Islands" listed under NES, so... yeah. >_> Anyway, ew - what happened to your avatar, Felix? You didn't... o.o; close your account and leave us for good, did you? Your blog's showing... nothing... I know you said in your tournament topic that stuff came up, but... I didn't know it'd be that bad... I hope everything's OK... |

Halon - March 20, 2008 (11:54 AM) I had a whole list of suggestions for you last night but my internet crashed as I went to submit it. I recommend (going by what you rated): Super C Super Mario Bros 3 Clash at Demonhead Dragon Warrior IV StarTropics Also get Gens and either SNES9x or ZNES so you can play Genesis and SNES ROMs respectively. 8-bit sucks for the most part. |

wolfqueen001 - March 20, 2008 (09:35 PM) Thanks sportsman. I'll keep those in mind, especially the Dragon Warrior one, too. Shame your computer lost the original list, though. |
