You describe it really well... the characters have to stay inside the "sprites"... You simply don't get enough of HW sprites on C-64 and not enough of CPU power to go software either... add those washed out colour of the VIC-II and you are left with nothing really usable apart from SID... C-64 was a gaming computer but in fact, gaming on Speccy was a clever decision!

I put more faith in the timewarp project but that seemingly will never turn into a real game either beyond the melee portion. lame. why wouldnt these guys just want to make one themselves? even as a side-project type secondary company idea or something.. i mean their other games are crap and starcon ruled. this will never happen :( – i remember hearing this news a few years ago and getting excited but it’ll never happen.

]]> Comment on Some games I want by Donna L. Haas http://www.thegamesofmylife.com/2005/11/23/some-games-i-want/comment-page-1/#comment-9164 Donna L. Haas Wed, 09 Dec 2009 04:27:05 +0000 http://www.thegamesofmylife.com/?p=46#comment-9164 A long time ago, when I was little, I saw a few episodes of this show. At the time, I felt it was too "kiddy", so I avoided watching it. Since then, I've seen the websites devoted entirely to it's memory, and they've definetly had an effect on me. Seeing the devotion so many people pay to this show, I must say I regret the childish attitude I had when I was a little. This show has made a lasting impression on everyone who saw it for what it was, a mature show made for everyone about a near hopeless struggle to take back paradise from a madman. I urge you to see this show, and experience what I once missed out on. A long time ago, when I was little, I saw a few episodes of this show.
