pretty shitty port of Dankey Kang tbqh and Nintendo claim they couldn't fit all 4 screens in the available ROM space. poo.
Almost all arcade ports were dogshit until the 90s. Even the atari ones felt off.
Wasn't this like the first game ever made for NES and they were totally inexperienced with programming it?
>>947060832that is true though DK Jr did get all four screen, so you tell me
>>947061086So did home computer ports of DK like the Atari 800 version which had only 16k cartridge while NES had a good 24k of space to use.
>>947060832Space on those early Famicom carts was very limited. None of the games that have 16kb PRG ROM even have full scrolling, they're single screen or else only move one screen width.
>>947060734In case you dont know /vr/ is one of the better niche boards here. >>>/vr/
>>947061603not OP but why don't you tell all the anons making thread about Trump and Iran whatever to post on /pol/ instead?
>>947061683>not OP but why don't you tell all the anons making thread about Trump and Iran whatever to post on /pol/ instead?oh, i don't condone those threads either
>>947061683Because those /pol/ threads are shit and /b/ is shit. OPs thread is sincere so im suggesting he check that board if he doesnt know about it.
>>947061086I think DK Jr had a better programming team on it. Also it's worth noting that Nintendo did not have the arcade source code because Ikegami owned it, not them (there was a later lawsuit over that).
it's a crap port, also totally inaccurate and doesn't play anything like the arcade
>>947060734Try and fit that in 16,384 bytes of space I dare you. I thought the arcade ROM was at least 32k iirc.
>>947062240>Try and fit that in 16,384 bytes of space I dare youthe ports on C64 and A8 fitted the pie factory in 16k though?
>>947062436I think it was just a shitty port job and not done very efficiently. Those home computer ports had less space because they also had to fit the graphics in the ROM while the NES had a separate graphics ROM.
>>947062523The Famicom actually had more because the separated graphics ROM so you didn't have to put graphics in the main program ROM and could fit more game logic or other shit in there.
>>947062240>I thought the arcade ROM was at least 32k iircit also uses like 30% of its space just for the Donkey Kong grunting sample
>>947062790Cartridge based game consoles usually used graphics compression of various kinds and on the 16-bit consoles it was near-universal due to the large size of tile sets. A SNES tile set was 1,000 tiles and 32k of space while a NES one was only 256 tiles and 4k of space.
>>947062972LOZ is funny because the game is only 64k although it's a 128k ROM, the thing is half empty.
>>947063460was that because it was FDS originally?
>>947063510I thought so.
