Let's stop it with the bickering and name calling, shall we? |

To each their own. I personally love demakes! If they ever make a good rom demake hack of MegaMan 7 for the nes i'd be all over it (even if it was very stripped down). I'm referring to a hack that was actually playable on the hardware ... not the pc demakes. |

Heck they could just hack Mega Man 5 or something. There's got to be some Mega Man level editing tools out there. |

Bringing this thread back on topic... I mentioned this earlier, but just now dug it up: http://www.intellivisiongames.com/bluesky/games/credits/colecoint.shtml#Anchor-Donkey-57224 --- Quote ---When the programmers at Mattel Electronics saw the Intellivision version of Donkey Kong, they were shocked at how bad it was. They actually suspected a conspiracy: that Coleco released an awful version for Intellivision so that the ColecoVision version - and the ColecoVision itself - would look that much better. Far more likely it was the result of a rushed development schedule and having no experienced Intellivision programmers on staff. But whatever the reason, the programmers (specifically Bill Fisher, Steve Roney, Mark Urbaniec and Keith Robinson) begged management for the opportunity to program their own version of Donkey Kong - not for release, obviously, but to demonstrate for the press what Intellivision could do when programmed properly. They were confident they could put together a version more faithful in feel and gameplay to the original arcade game than even the ColecoVision version. Management said no, feeling the programmers' time could be better spent. --- End quote --- |
