@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up... |

Giving a tax break to people who already hide money in foreign banks gives them more money to hide in foreign banks. Raising taxes on the super rich and on corporations can allow the government to spend money and put it in the hands of Americans like teachers, construction workers, soldiers, police, etc.Bullshit. "Trickle down economics" is the ONLY system that works. Industry creates wealth. Industry creates jobs. The government doesn't create wealth, it only takes wealth. As much as you might not like corporations like Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Home Depot or whatever, they provide millions of jobs and service millions of people. As we're seeing in so many socialist countries in Western Europe where social programs and high taxation have stalled their economies and lead them to financial ruin, the same thing has happened to the United States. The rich already pay the majority of taxes while half of Americans pay no federal taxes and often receive more in benefits than they've ever paid in. In case you haven't noticed the government receives trillions of dollars in tax revenue and still our infrastructure and education systems are crap. The government could confiscate all the wealth of all the billionaires and they'd still blow it. Now, I'm all for closing loopholes used to avoid paying taxes but this whole "fair share" stuff is bullshit. We have millions of people fucking their lives up, flunking school, having kids they can't afford, get fucked up on drugs, etc etc etc and the American taxpayer is expected to take care of them, not to mention the illegal immigrants competing for low wage jobs, burdening the education system, receiving benefits that they shouldn't be eligible for, etc. We already spend a substantial amount of the budget on countless government programs and we're headed over the cliff with ballooning Social Security costs. What was meant to be safety net programs have become a way of life for millions and we're pretty much screwed because of it.
We can have better education, infrastructure, and defense or the multi billionaires can add more zeroes to their bank accounts. I think one idea is better than the other but maybe I'm not being fair to the multi billionaires and should put myself in their shoes before arguing over the internet about taxation.
Lastly, the whole idea behind lowering the corporate tax rates is to make America more competitive with other companies like South Korea, China, and Japan. So many jobs have been sent elsewhere because it's cheaper for corporations to make their products in other countries and import them back to the US. Whereas our current rate is 38%, with the effective rate being about 25% after deductions, many other companies are much lower. With a lower tax rate here in the US companies will keep jobs here and possibly bring them back here. That means more jobs for Americans, more expenditures by corporations, more competition and hopefully better wages. As Margaret Thatcher famously said, "The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." That's what is happening across Western Europe and here in the US as well. The left loves to portray rich people as the devil, at least corporate rich people but not celebrities. Are there abuses? Yes, and they need to be changed but capitalism is the most successful economic system the world has ever known and provided the most good for the greatest amount of people.

Anyway, clearly, you are one of the few bastards with enough balls to post a photo! Also, you inspired me to shave my beard and bleach my eyebrows (just kidding).

We need more folks to post a photo, goddammit. I don't use Bookface or InstaTwitter, so I have no VirtualStalking material for my Dropbox folder.

JJ and Jeff is the BEST platformer on the system. What are you on?
Seriously though, there's nothing that can be said to convince me that's a good game. I'd rather play Impossamole. It's better than Darkwing Duck and Bravoman, so that's a win, right?

Great job!
I was going to complain about the resolution for a while, and then I realized that you'd drawn it in 2x2 pixels.
OK ... so it that graphic can look that good (there's a small loss in the outline shape, but nothing significant, and the colors do make up for it IMHO), then a lo-res port would probably be possible.
The next issue is screen-overdraw.
That's where touko is pointing out that 64 sprites are nowhere near enough for the overdraw that's going on in FZK.
I agree ... I really can't see how to make that game work on a PCE, even with dynamic drawing into the background, without causing a ton of flicker.
As he said ... even the SGX would be pushed at times (IMHO), but in the case of the SGX, we'd use the 2nd background plane to create those full-screen bomb effects, which would save the extra SGX sprites for other things ... like some of the parallax or layered enemies.
But you really don't seem to like the SGX proposal.
No problem ... I understand that I'm one of the few people that really love that PCE variant.
I just can't see how you can get that particular game to look decent on a standard PCE.
Maybe I'm just not being creative-enough.
Back-in-the-day, it was all about doing what-you-could with the hardware that was out-there.
And so compromises were inevitable, and expected, and part-of-the-job.
But these days ... for someone like me anyway, it's all about the quality of the end-result. And I'm just too damned stupid to figure out how to make Kotsujin look really *good* on a regular PCE.
You see, I REALLY LOVE the idea of pushing the weaker hardware and getting as much out of it as possible! Heck, one of the biggest reasons why I love the PCE so much (other than the sound, and the really fun games it has) is because I know (or at least have an idea of) how limited its hardware is, especially in comparison to its contemporaries, and yet I see it pulling off mind-blowing stuff both with and without the CD add-on that compares with, and sometimes (often?) even surpasses its more technically advanced competitors!
So making a good-enough port of a 1996 computer game into a 1987 console, without any add-ons, but taking advantage of some of the add-on features if detected, is a VERY attractive idea to me, not only because it would show off what the system can do, but also because it would maximise the amount of people who could experience it!
Personally I wouldn't mind having less bullets on-screen, or less enemies, or a little bit of flickering here and there, so long as we could somehow capture the essence of the game and put it on a system that I love and where it would feel right at home~♥
Also, I didn't draw at 2x2 pixels, I just took a screenshot at 2x resolution and put it on my sta.sh because I find it easier to look at that way >w>
Oh and, I did this a few months back:

He at the time of this video was riding for Tony Hawk's company called Birdhouse. He also worked for TTI. I had him sign my copy of Lords Of Thunder and thought I was crazy for having him sign it. Lol I laughed and told him whatever dude just sign the damn thing !!
