/vr/ - Retro Games

It's probably half nostalgia, but I think the graphics generally look nicer on the NES than the arcade version. The arcade game uses more colors than the 3-color sprites on the NES, but somehow I think the artist was less talented. It reminds me of certain computer games in the '90s that were pretty, but kind of badly drawn.

Big exception: That thing on the left. Good god, what a muddled Rorschach of pixels.

Unclear pixels, okay there's this thing from the NES version of Karnov. I kinda thought it looked like the lower half of a helmet-wearing face; my sister saw a full head; my mom saw a Giger-ish alien and my dad didn't know what the fuck.

Later I found the arcade version and their equivalent looks pretty damn different.
