    It still blows my mind that tim follin was able to achieve this on the original hardware. I mean, this sounds like modern fan-made chiptunes that don't have to work within the strict limitations of the NES. Seriously, you could only have 4 sounds playing at once, 1 being restricted to noise (drums, usually), and 1 having no control for tone or volume (bass, usually). It's a shame he was constantly lending his talents to games that were otherwise terrible, he was so ahead of his time

    If you made me listen to this without me knowing anything about, I'd immediately think it was made by a modern day chiptune artist or it was a rejected track from an indie throwback game. It sounds way more complex than what I've been used to hearing from the NES
    So the fact that it's music from _1990_ running on native NES hardware is mind boggling. How was Tim Follin not setting the soundchip ablaze?

      I would say that the problem with the difficulty in this game is that it is rather unbalanced and unfair.
      Silver Surfer moves slowly and has a huge hit box, and this makes the player rather handicapped from the start.
      Personally I really enjoy the scrolling shooters "Space Megaforce" and "U.N. Squadron" for the SNES.
      Those games are fantastic, and they also allow several different difficulties, so you can choose if you want to make it easy or very hard.

      but seriously there's a safe zone where the scrolling stops, in the middle of the screen just above the water surface. you can stay still, put the controller down, and the fish won't touch you. the music loops perfectly without skipping an intro bar.
      other options:
      option 1: use a NSF player to generate a sound file to use in video.
      option 2: record twice, pause at different times, edit recording together.

      There are tons of games that are much worse than Silver Surfer.
      It seems to me like most people hate on this game just because of that AVGN video, but it really isn't THAT bad.
      Silver Surfer is a very typical space shooter that just happens to have some annoying problems, like the overly large sprite of Silver Surfer himself, the lack of autofire and the ambiguous backgrounds, but apart from those problems it is just like any other old-school space shooter.
      And yes, this includes the one-hit-deaths-from-anything and the overwhelming number of enemies.

      The NES sound chip had a very limited sound chip,due to having pre-set instruments. Although Konami for instance had custom sound chips,the vanilla NES chip was very limited.
      The SID chip (the c64 chip) was more capable and had a 4th audio channel,although it is just an exploit.

    • @RAKtheUndead

      The NES didn't have a better sound chip than the C64 - in fact, the NES sound chip was very average for its time. Tim Follin was just that much of a genius; hell, the man could compose passable rock music and orchestras on a 1-bit beeper! Listen to his theme to Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the C64 and you'll realise what he could do with the superior sound hardware available to him with the SID.
