« on: October 22, 2007, 03:34:34 AM »

I just watched this clip of It Came From the Desert for the Duo..    (Keep in mind I haven't gotten my Duo yet.. it's days away..)    good god - is the load time this long for all of the games !???


no wonder people say you can't play Bonk off of a CD !@

this is pretty sweet though:

RED is a developer. They developed games like the Bonk series, Air Zonk, Gate of Thunder, etc.

Also, all of the bonk games are available on CD. :P  Bonks I&II are on the 3 (4)-in-One cd, and Bonk III was released on SCD with minimal changes. :P

The load times are generally fine.  Some of the Arcade Card disks do have some hiccups during loading that can stretch it out, but generally load times are very tolerable... No where near NeoGeo-CD levels. :P

I can't view the video there because I'm at work, but I'll let you know how I feel in about seven hours.

Yes I'm horrible at loading times.

I didn't think the load times were too bad in that video, maybe when you first boot it. Other games load faster anyways.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I've only heard of a TurboGrafx game being in a thrift store only once in the history of the entire world.

As well as PC Engine. Its called Makai Prince Dorabocchan though, its a side scroller, and the graphics aren't anywhere near as nice. Kind of like the difference between Kikikaikai on PCE versus SFC.

Interesting the PCE game is from Naxat. How did Red become involved? The Hudson connection, obviously, but that's an odd thing to cross over.
