Honestly, you should probably stop reviewing old console ports in these reviews/documentaries/videos since you're not giving them proper perspective. I'm not even an MSX fan, but the colors make your eyes bleed? What??? The XL or whatever port has choppy scrolling? Do you even know anything about these systems??? :confused:
No, they should be mentioned, because some of those ports shouldn’t have ever been released. The DOS and Apple II versions look like half assed ports.
Ms. PAC-MAN proved that Atari could have brought a decent port of the original PAC-MAN on the 2600, if they hadn’t rushed it.
Right, I'm not giving them the proper perspective….I've been playing arcade game since 1976 and watched it grow from this tiny little niche audience into what we have today. I guess If that Is your opinion you don't have to watch my videos but I will continue to put as many conversions in as possible Because people enjoy them.Quote:

Nothing wrong with the video.Quote:

So no, you're not giving proper perspective and in the context of these old system - some yes, others no - it's a crap shoot with you and comments in your videos when it comes to ports. Or is it you just trying to be entertaining/funny as your shtick, port damned?Quote:

Ok while I understand you want to be critical of the man's work, if you want him to take your advice to heart, please don't act like a dick when you're trying to make commentary. It makes people want to listen to you less.Quote:

If he even put in the time to play past the first area on any of these port "reviews", I'd be shocked. Apparently "documentary" is the new synonymous "entertainment". But "I guess If that Is your opinion you don't have to watch my videos" - note taken.Quote:

Just because you don't like the tone, doesn't mean I'm being a dick for the sake for being a dick - read what I posted. My tone is "matter of fact". I stated my criticism. I don't really have anything else to say. Drop it.Quote:

I guess I'm going to have to start putting a disclaimer at the beginning of each video stating that these are only my opinions and I am by no means an authority.
If the conversion is crap I'm going to say it's crap regardless of what hardware it's on.
That is all.
Keep up the good work Pat! I appreciate your videos.
