the shit thing about ASIC mappers is you never know what ROM bank is going to be switched in at power on so you have to include redundant code+CPU vectors in each bank. say if you have a 256k MMC1 game then there's 16 different 16k ROM banks and you have no idea which one will be in $C000-$FFFF when the NES is powered on. for MMC3/MMC5 it gets worse as banks are 8k in size that means for a 256k game there's no less than 32 different banks each of which has to include CPU vectors and other such bric a brac.

The first online posts I ever made were to alt.tv.simpsons when I was 15. I never ever want to see those posts again.

30 FOR A=0 TO PI*2 STEP PI/30
40 X1 = INT(280/2) + COS(A)*40 + 0.5
50 Y1 = 30 + SIN(A)*20 + 0.5
60 X2 = INT(280/2) + COS(A + D) * 50 + 0.5
70 Y2 = 140 + SIN(A + D)*40 + 0.5
80 HPLOT X1,Y1 TO X2,Y2

Program in Apple II BASIC to draw a hyperboloid. Now try doing this on a C64 in just straight BASIC with no extenders like Simons BASIC. The horror, the horror...

I don't even want to think about the idea of defending my base from Ethereals.

Ok, beat the damn thing. The last guy was near the east side of the map (the command center being out on the west end) and he just had a plasma rifle. Eight goddamn casualties. And this was just Floaters. I don't even want to think about what would happen if this were a Sectoid base.

Don't try that shit unless you have Power Suits and your whole squad armed with Heavy Plasma.

These support the C128 and MMU expanders, which is highly recommended. You really, really don't want to play them on a straight C64+1541 setup. The load times...

Good thing this was a daytime mission. Nighttime missions suck balls (the aliens have fucking night vision, but you don't) but when it's a Terror attack, you gotta do it.
