Why didn't Rare get into Turbob?

I wish Skate or Die had been ported to the turbob.

HAha was it you I sent that C64 Skate or Die I found in the dumpster?

[Arkhan]

no, wtf, give me it

[turboswimbz]

no, wtf, give me it

Ahhh, it's long gone by about 5 years.  I found a bunch of educational games, and C64 sticks in a dumpster behind my work.  Someone had apparently used our dumpster to get rid of boxes from their house.  The only interesting thing in it was Skate or Die.  Cover is Boss!

So much 80s tude

That should be Tom's next hackup with new art.   

Or I could finally get around to doing it myself, but that sounds like work.

The SOD2 ramp had too much animation for our sanity.

Man, I'd kill for a tweaked Skate or Die 2 on the Turbob.  I've said that before, but it must be emphasized!

The ramp part, or the adventure-game part?

I would make the adventure game part before the ramp part, myself.

That ramp has too many frames of animation and shit lol.    The McTwist animation, and the footplant especially.


Skate or Die 2 as a whole is another one of those rarely mentioned games for the NES that was surprisingly good.

The adventure part, I love both, but yeah, the adventure.  My only complaint would be that the adventure maybe needs some slight tweaking on the controls, but, maybe I'm wrong on that.  Love the music & the sound in that game in general!

[Arkhan]

The controls on the adventure part are pretty stiff until you get enough board upgrades from Rodney, and enough useful tricks from Lester, like the 180 ollie and shit so you can whip around better.

I am pretty sure Lester is basically Lester Kasai

EA put madden out right? What other major publishers/developers that were not japanese make games for it? LucasArts (loom?)

I think EA licensed Madden to TTI/NEC and they had a Western outside developer port it.

That's what I always thought until someone pointed out that the building in the ending fmv is actually Hudson Soft.

This article From the other thread touches on DUO madden.

https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/225466/stalled_engine_the_turbografx16_.php

It appears the game was licensed by NEC and converted by Hudson Soft when NEC was still involved and then published eventually by TTI, when they were still working on all the old NEC deals.

The Hudson Soft thing is interesting, well all the FMV is in that game.

I was searching around that dirt DUO whata phile site and found this:  (THANKS NULL)



The article here states licenced from EA and Published by Hudson.

I wonder if the reason Robotech/Macross 2036 never came out is because of Harmony Gold.  That would be one more thing to blame them for.

Ugh, I'd never thought of that.  I read about that in an EGM special about all the games at CES one year and always wondered what happened to it.  That sounds highly likely and abysmally shitty.

One of those games I used to love as a kid but going back into it there really isn't much there. I think gameplay wise Ski Or Die was slightly better.
