The Neo Geo was weird, it was all sprites, it only had one non scrolling tile layer that was used for HUD elements. It had two banks of 256 color pallets with 16 colors per pallet, one of which could be used at any time. Sprites were 16 pixels wide and up to 512 pixels tall, 380 total sprites or enough to cover the screen width 4.8 times. The RGB color space was 16-bit with 3x5 bits for RGB with the leftover bit used for dark/light
I am an old old gamer -- Generation Z !! Awesome video !!! Thank you !! Wish I could have had this amazing system !! I prefer this over the Neo Geo ! Gamers who are interested -- there are some on EBay but super expensive !! This is a super impressive system !! Some games had great soundtracks !!
You can emulate it very easily not that hard Don't need to go FPGA or anything else. Need to be realistic these games are nice but realistically most of them are on other systems already and some of them better ports. Good to see at least a system that was not that popular at least here in the West probably not even available that much Neo Geo was ahead of its time but then again so was its price shows you that technology was there you just had to pay for it.
Naious,Scorpius,Granada,Galseed,Mid Garts,Nemesis90,Dive On,Last Batallion,i like Shoot em ups ... this system have very beautiful versions of some great Role Playing Games,Hydlide 3,the first Ys,Ys3,Emerald Dragon,Last Armageddon,a large etc.
very nice list. I read that the Sharp cost 3000 bucks in the 1980's. isn't that like 8000 bucks today? Great graphics and sound, but I think I'd stick with a good ol' pocket of quarters and just miss out on a bunch of titles. I dig that late 80's early 90's sprite art, similarly to games like Splatterhouse.
Wow. Never heard of this system, but I'm impressed at what I'm seeing from a system released in 1987, but based on my research the system costed about $3k at launch, which I why I never heard of it, nobody I knew back then could afford such a system.
Un sistema avanzado para su época, pero desgraciadamente muy caro y poco conocido fuera de Japón. Siempre me recordó al hardware del Amiga que por suerte sí pude disfrutar. Eran lo mas cercano a tener una recreativa en casa.
Lógico, costaba 3000 dólares americanos en esa época contra los 699 de la Amiga 500... si bien la Amiga es inferior, no lo es tanto si hablamos de precio y con la potencia que ofrecía en esa época... incluso la Amiga 1000 que fue la primera Amiga salida en 1985 pensada para profesionales y no tanto para home computing, costaba poco mas de 1000 dólares en aquella época.... la verdad esta Sharp era demasiada cara para triunfar en el hogar por eso nunca salió fuera de Japón...
La Sharp X68000 era el equivalente entre ordenadores a la Neo Geo entre las consolas, el sistema de los ricos aunque en su caso apenas se hablaba de esta máquina en la prensa de la época porque no salió de Japón.
I don't know what was more impressive: The Neo Geo in 1990 or the X68000 in 1987

Superior games to the neo geo. Best way to play one now is with a mister FPGA and an mt32pi for the audio

This system had the best Arcade ports. No comparison!!!😊
Always great to start a video with Cho Ren Cha music :)
Incredible system and games!

Simple absurd!!! Incredible graphics and sound for 1987!
One of the best systems ever created!!!
Nice upload and content. cheers.

Increíbles gráficos para su tiempo.
I need that Castlevania in a collection ❤️
Never even heard of this console. Space Harrier port looked so solid - no graphical break-up at all.
It was a computer sytem, like the Amiga or the Commodore.
Capcom used it as the development box for CPS2 arcade games. The CPS2 graphics hardware was designed around the low res mode of the X68000 graphics.

Oh my god Strider!
Gran compilación de juegos , algunos no los conocía , que shaders estás usando? Te animas a decirme el nombre así lo busco , se ve hermoso
The Last Tempest? Weird...😵
What is the cool & catchy music playing in the beginning of the video?! Thanks!
Ah final fight😊
No Illumination Laser?
Why is Gardis Light playing the theme from Golden Axe?!?!?!
I really wish Zuiki would do a deal with someone, ANYONE, to release the X68000 Z in europe/UK.
10:36 I thought the Sharp X68000 didn't play 8-Bit games. 🤨
min 30:00 hahahahaah graduis copy, xd....
Buster?
I should create another list or make another video to include perhaps more "obscure" games; I think it would be interesting
Hollanda sakin
