its easy to critiise the A500 here as its the worst but my attention goes to how sucky the A1200 is, especially compared to certain Acorn machines that were being released around the same time. It really should of come with an 030.

I prefer the standard better because that's what i heard in my childhood. Also pal is 50hz so you lose 10fps and it slows down the music.

Este juego en amiga era injugable, como casi todos los que eran 3d. Pocos se salvaban.

EIN THE MIRACLE BALL

The Vampire 600 makes the game much faster and smoother, but it can't fix the MANY problems with this game. I fooled around with this on my A500 with Supra Turbo 28 accelerator, which made it smoother, but as smooth as the Vampire. Unfortunately, most of my sessions with it ended in crashes. Even when they didn't, I thought it was a really impressive tech demo, but a pretty poor game.

Run this comparison against the A500 with a PiStorm - wouldn't even be fair on the Vampire!

Fantasy Zone II: The Tears Of Opa Opa Also Used FM Sound

I had amiga 1200 and it was decent. On 500 unplayable

FM makes alien syndrome even worse, it's not just a farting noise haha

I had a SMS as a kid and at the time felt it was a wise choice against the competition (in Australia anyway). But in retrospect, I find the music on the system to be a big turn off. I don’t find it charming like I do with the graphics. The FM sound fixes that issue for many of these games. In particular with Wonder Boy III the Dragon’s Trap (not shown here) which you could be playing for hours in one sitting.

Honestly this would've been impressive for the 3DO to handle, or the Sega 32X even.

4:45 Double Dragon comparisons. Remember the Double Dragon arcade board used Yamaha FM synth. So the FM version on SMS sounds closer by far. It's vibrant, rich.

Depending on the game, FM sound isn't always the best choice.

The FM sound almost sounds like an Adlib Sound Card

Just as laggy as odyseey I see the resemblance.

Funny like i have not so bad memories of playing it at the time on a bare Amiga 500 Plus. However, the video is not fair to compare the Vampire 600 to a bare A1200. Any 68020/68030 accelerator with FAST Ram also gives a smooth 3D similar to the V600. The plain A1200 has no FAST RAM.

I know this is an ooold video, but I'm trying to work this stuff out. Would I be able to load Disk Keeper this way and write my disks with english versions of my games? I can't seem to find a copy of Disk Keeper for sale, and I'm not about to give out my address to a stranger so they can make me one..

I'll never get over how slow everything sounds in PAL.

How did they use the voice sample on the SMS at 0:15?

Dramatic improvement

0:22 i kinda like the music here, PAL or NTSC.

One really noticing thing that I saw was that the side bars on the famicom family system, it had blue bars, but on the PAL version it does not have the blue bars. Also on the pal version the logo for when the demo starts, Mario goes away from the logo and the right side of the logo duplicates for a little, this was a glitch left on the PAL version where the famicom’s graphics were not the same as the PAL’s one, because the famicom has a different name and has diffrent graphics

There's no way that's a real SMS FM chip. It's too clean, and sounds exactly like the Genesis.

VERY good comparison. Having uploaded a video today that should show the performance of the Vampire I've seen your one. - I will show it the guy who asked me to demonstrate the performance of the Vampire... @the guy who asked for FAST RAM for the A1200: No! This will speed up the FPS of the A1200 (max.) by 1.5 - 2.0. => The Vampire lives in an other world... ;->

PSG of the Master System is awful. FM sounds much nicer overall. Phantasy Star, for example, is borderline unlistenable on PSG. Wrong tones, overly shrill notes, noise channel drowns everything out, etc

Interesting. The FM made the music on Double Dragon sound immensely better. But the sound effects were actually worse and more high pitched.

Wow! That A600 kicks ass!

Sega n Nintendo 8 bit had it's own unique sound we always will remember and prefer. No enhancements needed

Заебок!!!

I wasn't even born yet when this game came out but even to me it looks impressive for 1993

0:16 What the heck that sound is loud?!

Alex Kidds agonising "AAAAAAAAAGH!" is always hilarious.

Thank you so much for uploading this. It made my day. I was listening to Soundgarden and memories of this game came flooding back. I was 15 when it came out and it turned out to be a rather bad (awesome) influence on me.

Interesting comparison. Was the audio identical, or is this just audio from the Vampire 600?

0:36 アッー！

Can you do a part 2, with Ghostbusters as one of them please?

I never understood why sega just didn’t use the fm sound when they first brought out the sms especially after hearing the nes amazing sound chip. It would’ve made the sms hands down have a better chance of winning more fans and customers and may have changed the 8bit race a little in the U.S. Damnit Sega!

FM BGM is great! Too bad FM SFX are not.

trash, trash and serviceable

Not bad! The C64 did not get a proper port of this one.

I played dos version........ I think it's underated. And TBH I like the music on dos a lot better, idk if it's just nostalgia speaking but I genuinely like it better.

If someone could hack the slowdown out of the SNES version this, much like was done with the SNES Gradius III SA-1 version, it would certainly hold up as the best version of this game on the 16-bit consoles. I'd love to see that happen.

Shouldn't the PC Engine version actually have better colours than the SNES since it was capable of putting nearly 2x as many colours onscreen at any time? If it doesn't have that then this is maybe a bit of a lazy port imo. Also, since the PC Engine has a much faster graphics processor than the SNES it should also suffer much less from any slowdown too.

0:36 Aaaoo Scream

The FM synth used sounds similar to a lot of PC games using the Adlib card.

0:05 Standard Sound Sega Master System = Texas Instrument SN76489, Gameboy Advance = DAC(DirectSound A & B) + Gameboy Sounds. 0:46 FM Sound Sega Master System = YM2413 OPLL, Gameboy Advance = YMF262 OPL3.

Wow, the 1200 is slower than an early Archie from 1987, and on the Archie it would be in 256 colours, and 320 x 256 Crappy C= hardware.

double dragon sounds very close to the arcade with the FM

Ahem, best ever ZX Spectrum game? 3D Deathchase? Well, well, that ist a tiny bit too much praise for it. Still it is a remarkable milestone of gaming since it is the first real 3D FPS (first person shooter). Amazing achievement just like Ant Attack which preceded this by just around two months and features 4 different camera angles.

Can this feature be download on the net somewhere? They've never told us Non Jap customers about this. I got some Master System roms that can play this sound
