Not the best port, but i liked it, as it was long and difficult..I had infinite lives, and it was still difficult as hell...

The one major problem that most other 8 bit computers had versus the 64 was lack of hardware sprites and hardware scrolling capabilities. In my opinion, that makes a lot of games on the 64 "look better" than on similar systems from other companies.

what are the best examples of 1 pixel scrolling for the 8-bit micros?

Commando, now that was a good game on the Speccy, I'll download it and do the same.

The way I see it, you both seem like clever people, but its not worth arguing to this length over machines that are 20 or so years old... you both seem sure of what your saying, I haven't got a clue what your both on about, I owned a C64 as a kid but never even heard of an Amstrad until a year ago. The CPC is good, seems as good as the C64 -- but things have moved on... maybe this conversion about old computers should.

anyway..... at first when he said it can do everyhing the 64 can do, i just said "that's not true"he wanted me to explain so i gave the 1 pixel horizontal scroll @ 50 f.p.s. as an example.so that's how we got on to that. :/

but i don't think the amstrad is "pants". lolukmark said the amstrad can do everything the 64 can.i asked a specific question.... can the amstrad do a 1 pixel horizontal scroll @ 50 f.p.s with a whole bunch of sprites all moving @ 50 f.p.s..?i asked this to show his claim was false. instead of saying 'OK it can't do that' he went on a rant and kept trying to dodge the truth.maybe i look like a jerk to u, but all i did was call him out on his propiganda. i don't think the amstrad sucks!

I think your being unfair on the CPC... I kinda get the impression that your hanging onto one of its smallest weaknesess and trying to say 'look everyone, the CPC is pants'. UKMARKH has shown some fine examples of CPC games that look as good if not play better than similar games on the C64. I don't know what all this pixel this, or pixel that is about, I just know if it looks good or bad.

so u had to ask some one else the question but then reworded his answer cos u THINK it could be done on the cpc???but u can't show 1 game that does it.i'm not going to do this any more because u don't even have the sense to be embarassed and it hurts to watch.u have way too much emotion invested in this old computer my friend. just think about that PLEASE!!!!kthnxbai!!!
