Recorded this for you guys....gotta love Pirates, no?  Unlicensed hack of an unlicensed Taiwanese Chip and Dale game.....what is this double stuffing!?

That is just so wrong, on so many levels.

Pretty nice engine, Koh. I feel like you should improve the jumping collision, though. Also I feel like you could do something more creative with the bosses than just giant Bowser. Giant Bowser has been done to death.

I can't believe you think (or are being sarcastic about) I shat this out XD.  I can do way better than this, and you've seen so XD.  In all honesty, isn't not too bad, but definitely needs a ton of improvement.

Who the heck is this "Mario" character? He looks like a ripoff of Somari.

Whoops. The video took up so much of the page, I didn't see the part saying it was a hack at first. Something about the engine looked very GameMaker-like, so I assumed it was something you created. lol

How many times must I say and show it XD?  There's nothing wrong with Game Maker, and if you know what you're doing, you can easily make very professional games.  Have you not seen the latest video in my Zelda Engine thread?  Take a look at that to see, it doesn't look clunky at all o.o.

Yes, I have seen it. Much like this engine, something about the way the player character moves feels clunky. I don't know if has to do with how you specifically advertised it as a gameboy engine and yet it feels very little like the gameboy games or if it's just a problem with the engine itself, but it still looks a bit clunky to me. It's better than the majority of the horrible crap people make with GameMaker, but it's still far from what I'd consider a professional tier engine. So what I mean is less that GameMaker is inherently awful, merely that a lot of the engines people make with it are clunky or poorly thought out. Not that this is always the developer of the engine's fault. I assume GameMaker is fairly difficult to learn?

 

Getting back on topic, what exactly is the deal with that last world in the video? Did the people who made the hack just give up partway through and leave the rest of the levels unchanged?

Not really hard to learn, just takes a bunch of practice like any programming language does.  Not sure what you mean by the movement feels clunky lol.  But oh well.

 

That's exactly what I felt, researched and it's true.  From what it looks like, it's almost as if they said "Eh, the first two levels are Mario, that's good enough." and sold it that way XD.

SUPER BOY 4 (SEGA MASTER SYSTEM)

What does this look like to you?  Another pirate thing I recorded for you guys, and let me tell you, DEM CONTROLS.  You have no idea until you experience it for yourself =(.

Well, I suppose it's a better effort than the Chip and Dale pirated version you showed on the other thread. You know, a lot of these pirate games look like with a bit of tweaking, they wouldn't be all that bad. I mean, if you were to fix the controls and physics on this game so they matched up with Mario behavior, it looks like it could be a fairly passable game.

 

I'm kind of tempted to ask where you're finding all of these, but I'm going to guess that it would be against the rules even though they're pirated games, right?

[Kite]

BootlegGames Wiki has a lot of info on pirated and bootlegged games (but no download links). I honestly find the effort that is put into several unlicensed games rather interesting. For instance, Somari is a near unplayable trainwreck, but some of the stuff it attempts to do to emulate Sonic is near completely unheard of for NES games. Of course it was probably rarely done because it was a weird way to push the NES hardware and they definitely didn't consider playability (hence why it's a trainwreck), but the technical aspects (and glitches) honestly interest me more than the actual gameplay for most of these.

 

Also just a heads up, but two different topics were merged into this one topic.

[SpacemanDan]

Indeed, the Super Mario World (Sega Genesis) and Super Boy 4 (Sega Master System) were combined together upon request.

 

I can't think of any boot-legs I've played off-hand aside from one of those multi-carts, though I'm not sure that entirely counts. X3

[Koh]

Thanks for the merge, and yeah, they can be interesting, but they can also just be a bucket of lols.  Like this next one.

I tried to be as delicate as possible with this, but...just, no, you CAN'T be delicate lol.

That Mario is most certainly an improvement.
