What does it all mean?

It's telling the player to cope with the Mega Drive's CPU because Spring Yard Zone is home to the most slowdown and graphical glitches in the game

[Anonymous No.5003483]

Cope with the fact that Sonic 1 is the best entry in the Sonic series.

COPE with the fact you'll be waiting decades for Sonic to finally die

[Anonymous No.5003513]

>>5003485

There were only two relevant sides back in the day. If you were not a Ninturdo fan, you were a Sega fan.

Bing Bing.

I doubt you were even alive when these systems were relevant, kiddo.

[Anonymous No.5003519]

>>5003517
Or just liked vidya enough to save up and buy a new system or games instead of wasting it on shit from the grocery store like every other kid.
>>5003518
>nobody could have ever been an idort!
Well tough luck, I'm one, the real deal.
At least during 4th and 5th gen. On 5th gen I was even more of an idort because of Saturn. I didn't really own a TG16.

Don't have it at home, does not count

This was the absolute state of early 90's PC gaming. I'll stick with Sonic, thanks.

>>Don't have it at home, does not count
That's why I said perspective.
>This was the absolute state of early 90's PC gaming.
I had that fucking Mega Man game on DOS
But PC also had shit like Doom or the lucasarts adventure games, it was different kind of games from consoles, which were more arcade-y/japanese.
Best of both worls.
>I'll stick with Sonic
I also played Sonic! on the MD when they were new, I awaited each entry.
Also, around 1996, Sonic got some PC Windows ports.

yeah man i could do that with my 10 dollar allowance

Nobody cares about you or what you owned. Why do you try to police what people's taste in gaming companies should be?

>taste in gaming companies
PC isn't a company, anon. Neither is Arcade.
And even though MD and SNES were made by Sega and Nintendo, who make video games, their systems have games by other companies as well.

[Anonymous No.5003828]

Every time a PC fag shows up to endlessly yap about shit unrelated to a thread I get a little bit disappointed.

>it's a sonic thread so I need to show up and talk about fucking Doom and Lucasart games because my childhood is special and important
>it doesn't deserve to be in it's own thread that nobody will ever care about or reply to, no way! shitting up threads for nostalgic console fags is much better

It's getting a bit old already, you self important dipshit.

I was an idort console-wise as a teen during the 4th gen but people who actually gamed seriously on PC had to be for-real richfags so it's no surprise they and those larping as them would behave as such.

It's not amazing at all, it makes perfect sense in every way, what wouldn't make sense is if optical and harddrive happened to have the exact same price. Also it's not "we" at all, dumb post.

There's just a very big difference between what can be done with removable media (especially unwritable media like a cd-rom) and what can be done with a hard drive

Cope with the decades of autism that will be going through your CPU. Pic related.

That one is for S100, the Altair computer Bill Gates originally licensed DOS for. That ad would be from right around the time he was cinching his deal with IBM. No hobbyist could have afforded a real IBM though and Asia hadn't started cloning them quite yet.

That Nintendo has to COPE with SEGA giving a one UP on them with a better CPU because this rivalry is ON.
>>5003483
This as well.

[Anonymous No.5005993]

Sega's subliminals.

[Anonymous No.5007454]

Argentinian here, here there's a sort of slang word, "copado", which means something like, cool or dope. "Cope" is also another way to refer to something copado, so as a kid I just read that in the way I knew it and not in english.

[Anonymous No.5008379]

its a message to nintendo, UP ON CPU COPE

[Anonymous No.5008491]

>>5008379
The blast processing marketing shtick was done by SoA, and Sonic was made by SoJ.

[Anonymous No.5008496]

>>5008491
doesn't mean it didn't have some truth to it, the snes is slowdown central

[Anonymous No.5008501]

>>5008496
Mega Drive also has a lot of slowdown, the whole "blast processing" was just a marketing stunt americans ate.

[Anonymous No.5008504]

>>5008501
Not as bad as SNES, kiddo.

[Anonymous No.5008505]

>>5008504
Eh, pretty similar. Sometimes devs managed to make the MD's slowdown less noticeable, but in other cases it's worse than on SNES.
Either way, and back on topic, I doubt the guys at SoJ developing Sonic were interested in adding some graphical backgrounds to send a cryptic message to Nintendo mandated by the marketing team at SoA.

[Anonymous No.5008506]

>>5008505
>Eh, pretty similar.
Wrong.

[Anonymous No.5008509]

>>5008506
Okay, continue with your console warring somewhere else, I'm not focusing on the Sega vs Nintendo here, but on SoJ vs SoA.

[Anonymous No.5008513]

>>5008509
I'm not warring though, if you hang out with the TAS and speedrun communities you'll notice they often prefer the SNES over Genesis versions of multiplats and vice-versa because lag management is more complex.

[Anonymous No.5008516]

>>5008513
That's fine, I don't hang with these people, but again I was talking SoJ vs SoA.
