The last 2 or 3 minutes of this video (episode 22) covering Spy Hunter, for example, looks terrible, with artifacting everywhere. <br /><br />Just now, out of curiosity, I checked out the same video on your Youtube channel, and it looks great. I haven't checked all of the previous videos, but assuming the same holds true, it looks like I'll have to delete all of the copies I got from archive.org and get them from Youtube, instead. I wonder why the video quality seems corrupted on the archive.org downloads?kitsunebihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481456493097730055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-34937207432681294582010-07-07T23:22:04.122-07:002010-07-07T23:22:04.122-07:00There was some speculation a couple of years ago i...There was some speculation a couple of years ago in the online gaming magazine Retrogaming Times Monthly that Millipede, Stargate/Defender II, and the other HAL-designed classic arcade ports were prepared at Nintendo's behest during negotiations with Atari as potential launch titles for what eventually became the NES. The insanely tiny cartridge memory sizes, the credits in the Japanese versions, and the music cues were all pointed out.Garretthttp://www.cartoonreviewsite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-55520731186182888692010-05-13T19:32:11.106-07:002010-05-13T19:32:11.106-07:00SPELUNKER II

Being reminded a version of the regular "Defender" was released on the ColecoVision through Atarisoft.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-72221024047931494062009-07-22T23:35:40.698-07:002009-07-22T23:35:40.698-07:00You are a gift from heaven.You are a gift from heaven.Godnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-22334614734775670782009-07-21T18:35:40.423-07:002009-07-21T18:35:40.423-07:00Mr Vampire is pretty much worth its weight it gold...Mr Vampire is pretty much worth its weight it gold.

I had to look it up on youtube. <a href="http://www.photon-qei.com/" rel="nofollow">Here is a better Photon site</a>, by the way. It supposedly has a link to the first episode of the TV show as well, but their link doesn't work.

While the game clearly has nothing to do with the show as far as I can tell, I assume Takara must have released Photon toys in Japan. I'm sure there were no Photon laser tag centers in Japan. Sounds like I need to do an update at some point.Doctor Sparklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328442015557051088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186345736950611814.post-51651977427919134042009-07-16T14:36:09.457-07:002009-07-16T14:36:09.457-07:00I was really interested to see what sort of tie-in...I was really interested to see what sort of tie-in Photon was. However, like the vast majority it looks like it was not only not very good but completely unrelated to its namesake. What tie-in you say? Only the very first commercial laser tag venture. Today we have places like Laser Quest, but back in 1985 (first one opened in 1984 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon:_The_Ultimate_Game_on_Planet_Earth" rel="nofollow">according to Wikipedia</a> but the one in my area opened much later) we had the 20-pound battery packs and helmets and enjoyed it.
