PC Engine Pixelization

Falcon joins the fray. (lol if the game DOES have realtime sprite scaling but the framerate is so choppy it's impossible to tell the difference between that and faked scaling with different sprites)

Yeah, i wonder what type of effect the Mega CD used on that same scene.

I don't know if it's the emulator or just the fact that the sega CD redoes lots of new stuff but removes on others...

This was all I could find for Sega CD





Completely forgot about Falcon

Seeing some of these awesome graphical tricks (scaling, wavy patterns, etc) brings me back.

But that begs the question...why WAS the background scrolling so damn choppy in YS III?  And in YS Book 2 if you recall the choppy parallax background when you're racing towards the bell.

Do the 3d globe from SimEarth, it's neat because it is a textured 3d globe.

Like Ys III, it was ported from the MSX version, which used dynamic tiles for those scrolling backgrounds. Hudson didn't bother to redo the animation, because it wasn't so unusual in Japan.

need to spend some time with that game but I haven't had a chance to even touch that big manual

Why haven't I come across this thread before? It's amazing!!
You know, this stuff is one of the reasons why I love the PC engine so much, all of these sweet visual effects impress the heck out of me! I mean seriously, we're talking about a 1987 game system with an 8 bit CPU and a single Background Layer doing all of this! Scaling, Stretching, line-scrolling, overlapping parallax scrolling, holy crap, this is witchcraft! And I LOVE it!

This effect in particular:

I don't remember who originally posted it, but it left me at awe, my jaw literally dropped, this is some Super Castlevania IV / Axelay stuff!
I kinda know how it's being done but holy s*** seeing it in action, actually being done in a playable game... I'm at a loss of words... And I didn't even catch what game it was, can someone tell me?
