It really is. Gives me kinda Streets of Rage vibes, in a way...

Yeah, and as much of a fan of AA as I am, it is only really now I'm seeing this inconsistency... But no, no matter how much frustration, no cheating here...

I guess I'll have to play more of it then :)

Thanks for the kind words! I was surprised to find that out about GBII as well, but yeah I guess tastes had changed in those intervening 5 years... I for one don't think it THAT bad, but what do I know... Thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying the videos 👍

Same. This and Oh Mummy...

I enjoyed it, if it was a little bit frustrating... but I think with time and patience you could get a lot out of this game

That sounds like something I probably don't wanna Google...

@@retrobutionSHG you don't remember the PPAP guy? I will give this a go to see what I think, but I'll admit that the bright colours in some rooms made be feel nauseous, and I had to skip past them. Quick question (and not a slight, I promise) - why did you decide to use graphics smoothing? I know some people prefer it, and some don't, but I was just wondering the reasons.

@whetphish yeah, I was the same, and being epileptic too the flashing colours didn't help much either... But I ploughed on through for the sake of the review... As for graphics smoothing, I don't know what you mean. I did run this on an emulator, so maybe it was just a default setting?

@@retrobutionSHG ah okay, I guess the smoothing is on by default. I prefer it in its blocky originality, even if it does look different to how it would on a CRT. I know some people have smoothing and even emulated CRT lines. I will ask the question on the FB group and see what people's preferences are.

As you can tell, still is for me :)

I know my playthrough didn't show a lot of the game, but I did enjoy it and will return to again definitely. Do wanna see more of it. Still don't know which I prefer though, this or RoboCop...

@@retrobutionSHG interesting you should mention RoboCop when the level skip for Batman is ED209 😂

I did not know that 🤣

@@retrobutionSHG I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if the same development team were involved in both projects. They were both licences from Ocean.

Maybe something to do with bigger / more detailed sprites in other games? But that doesn't matter here, as the graphics nicely portray the characters and enemies... It really is a great version

Yep! Definitely enjoying revisiting my Amstrad days, also playing a few titles I didn't the first time round... Good times back then, and now as well! 👍

Eek, my mistake!

@@retrobutionSHG - no worries. It was otherwise a very well crafted review! And, like you, I never had this on my Amstrad at the time either, but I played it on my friend's Spectrum version and loved it. I didn't feel too bad though as I got the - also excellent - Batman The Movie by Ocean not much later on and that produced a very similar game 'feel' that happily satisfied me. Cheers.

@zeeox keep an eye out this week then - Batman is on the list!

@@retrobutionSHG - Will do!

thanks :)

Thanks!

I haven't seen any of the Prime Directive movies, so I had to look this one up... But yeah, I see what you're getting at...

​@@retrobutionSHG I like the dark feel of the prime directives show, taking place in the future after lots of Robocop's fellow human friends and officers have died, with the police force, and even his own son looking at him as being antiquated, and in need of replacing!!!

Yeah the premise does sound interesting... Might have to look into it

​@@retrobutionSHG Robocop literally screaming in rage after not being able to resist a directive telling him to kill his officer friend, John Cable, and then pounding a nearby criminal to death with his hands is a disturbing moment!!! :(

If there's one thing the franchise does right, it's disturbing moments... Robocop 2 was pretty much Disturbing Moments: The Movie...

Thanks for the info. I didnt know that, but tbf I've played a few versions of this now, and they've all been good. Deffo AAA

Thanks for the info! Maybe they couldn't get the licensing... I mean, they never called the VW Beetle by name either, even though it clearly is...

Hudson Hawk? 🤣

It's ET, isn't it. Best game for the 2600.

Of course! Best adaptation ever...

yet no ghosts appeared??

​@@retrobutionSHGif you play it on an emulator it doesn't seem to play the same for some reason. I had the original clam case cassette back in the day and completed it. The buildings used to flash and once the gate keeper and key master got together the floating ghosts on the screen started to multiply into Zuul and then created the Stay Puft man.

Maybe it's just the way the graphics are handled... 🤷🏻‍♂️

i am no so familiar with Famicom disk games, tbh...

There were a load of great conversions for the CPC.. And I hope to cover a load of them too... I will only be looking at the official releases, but I might look at unofficial ones in the future :)

Yeah, it is a struggle...

Yeah I found this out shortly after. I think I might have picked hard mode lol

Thanks! Yeah it's hard work, lots of kinks to work out and hurdles to overcome, but it's interesting :)

How do you mean?

I do like Icecap Zone, barring that one jump, but yeah. Is fun :)

Yeah. Spiky Chickens. Who'd have thought 🤣

Because my voice is horrible, and I don't really have the means to record a voice over anyway

@@retrobutionSHG thats pretty crunk

Thanks!

Thanks for the nice comments! Unfortunately I don't have the facility to record a voice over, but you wouldn't want to hear my voice anyway - it sounds damn awful when it's recorded!

@@retrobutionSHG Well, our recorded voices are different from our voices that we hear.

You don't wanna hear mine in person, let alone recorded lol 😅

@@retrobutionSHG Is the letter between mine and person an i or L?

Considering they're the same. :/

Always called it Hydro City since I was a kid, so why change now? But yeah I agree, they do leave it ambiguous

Yep, and legitimately my favourite of the classic Sonic games. I'm gonna enjoy this one

Thank you! Glad you like it :)

@@retrobutionSHG with the same method i beat eggman the first time😀

Yep - although two challenges still stand in the way...

They do look similar, but they could also be robotic Octoroks from Zelda? Lol

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate it's not for everyone, but it's what I'm going with for now

great vid :D

Thanks! :)

It's a weird compulsion, what can I say 😅

🤣🤣🤣 True though...

Thanks 😊

Thanks! It took its time, and was plagued with technical issues, but we got there! Hopefully, there won't be as many problems next time 😅

Gotta keep you guys on your toes! 😁

Is proper chaotic. Really not a fan of that one, especially the boss fight....

What is that?

Hope you enjoy this playthrough then :)
