Alien Soldier and Daze Before Christmas

[gaMEthuselah]

What's with the Alien Soldier hate all of a sudden? If anything, it's the raving mad prices AS is going for on E-Bay that most are complaining about. Yes, the Treasure hype is overrated, and sure, it's probably one of the reasons the price is that high.

Nevertheless, I find it hard to understand one can fault the game for that. While it might not be the pinnacle in shooter bliss it's hyped up to be, I think it's still a very, very solid run 'n gun shooter, with fresh presentation and a lot of creativity. It's just a victim of the Treasure obsession and its own rarity.

Why?

I did it to my system and it overheated,the oscilator went broke or something,it was a 13,4 mhz mod.

i truly think it sucks,the graphics seem all nice and stuff but how more levels you pass how uglyer it gets the game has no deth and the detial in the wrong things,i find a ranger x ways m,ore impressive and that came out in 93,nonthesless of it beeing a treasure game i really dont like it that much,altought it has some nifty graphical tricks that makes you at least look at the game but i find the overall run trough game so boring.

I can understand that, but I was talking about the 60 Hz mod, which makes PAL games run at the proper speed. I think 13,4 MHz is a little bit too much. 9-10 MHz is probably enough to eliminate slowdown in most games, but that's another thing. You don't need a overclock mod to make PAL games as good as NTSC games, only the aforementioned mod.

To each his own, I guess. Personally, I'd rather have Alien Soldier than Ranger-X. Even on heavy mode Ranger-X is pretty easy, not that fast paced and just not that long.

Here´s Daze before Christmas without manual for 60,-€, if anybody really wants such a crap-game.

One day I am going to get a copy of Daze Before Christmas, however, it will have to be in perfect condition.

But the game is so crappy...

But it's rare and would be an awesome addition to my collection. If memory serves there are also pointless reindeer sprites in the game, which is awesome.

Yeah, one day. 1 just went on Ebay.com.au for just over $100 and it was in mint condition. the 2nd copy went for about 70 I think, but the cover was in crap condition and the instruction manual had game codes written on it.

There´s an SNES-version in Germany; listed ONLY as a German version on dp...

Just a quick question about Daze,

If it was only released as PAL, why does the game still have borders above and below? Does this mean it was designed under NTSC and then just released as PAL?

[Zebbe]

ALL PAL games have borders.
