I had my NES games out yesterday. I know nothing about game programming. (Did a little basic in my Commodore 64 years, but nothing to talk about) I was playing NES shooters. I have trouble understanding why some games can be so diverse in its playabliity. Gradius seems to play too fast for me. Parodius just boggs down and is so sluggish at points. Then there is Summer Carnival - Recca, plays great and is very enjoyable. And so is Crisis Force, plays great, no problem. I know having a lot of sprites on the screen can bogg the game down, but Gradius and Parodius are basically the same game. I know I am playing on a clone NES. Maybe that’s it. I need an actual NES. Not sure that's it, bad programming?
And I forgot about Gun Nac which has loads of sprites on screen and is a complete dream to play. (Playing it now during this added posting)
