I always wanted to live in that one alternate universe where either this or the PC Engine just really tore the fuck off across the marketscape and became that ever-so-elusive "fourth console".

We always seem to get stuck with a max of three with a fourth guest-starring.

this, the pce color specs are a fat lie. Especially when the pce lacks the palette to have colorful shading like the snes

It was a broadcasting class that wound up being focused mostly into advertising. I had to pick a print ad and break down how it was trying to sell it's product, and then decide if the ad worked. I said it didn't work because it made me want to buy a hotdog more than it made me want to buy a Neo Geo. My professor agreed.

Yah Neo Geo rendered backgrounds entirely by using big ass sprites. Plenty of games on the Neo Geo had parallax, though, it was just costly to implement.

Multi layered parallax on the neo geo by using sprites.

Don't get me wrong though I do think the lack of dedicate background layer hardware on the Neo Geo was a mistake and the main reason why it underperformed compared to the CPS1.

I'm more like a cocktail weenie, on account of my alarmingly small penis. So, me on the top since my penis is smooth and no frills, but that would be vastly overstating the length and girth. Are dicklets like me even allowed to play NeoGeo? Whenever I see this ad I feel very guilty about having a small penis but still trying to play NeoGeo games.

>Neo Geo couldn't do real parallax

Wrong. It just had no hardware backgrounds. But the sprite engine was so strong, that it could do all of that with sprites, anyway.

Plenty of Neogeo games have multiple background layers.

And the machine could do scanline effects too, although it was uncommon. Garou uses them in the pre-fight dialog and on Terry's 3rd stage (the bridge). I think Metal Slug 2 or X had a desert effect that way too, but it was unused in the final game.

>> No.4354972

>>4354913
That's the fault of the artists, not the hardware. Theorically the PC Engine couldn't do parallax either but most of the later titles such as Valis IV achieved parallax by using raster effects or whatever.

>> No.4355003

>>4354965
The shitty downside is that making backgrounds that way fucked with their performance speed AND limited sprite count.

Yes, and they should have made the top one very small to make a good comparison.
