We all know the first Twinbee game for the NES, right? It has 5 stages, then it loops. I've always wondered about something. How come in Stage 4 and 5, the graphics become freaked out? I mean, they have house parts and mountain parts for rivers and roads, farm parts and life-up parts for some of those ground targets, and even parts of the title for mountains. And the enemies are also freaked out. Some enemies do completely different things, and some enemies are mashed parts of 2 enemies. What is up with that?<P>The very first time I saw Stage 4, I thought I had been playing too long already and that the NES was overheating. After a few more gaming sessions, though, I realized that the freak out in Stage 4 and 5 were in fact intentional and not some manner of overheating. I dunno why, but it seems they really made it that way.<P>Have you guys ever wondered about this? Or have you never played Twinbee, in which case, I'm just sounding like an ass here?<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.digitalmzx.net/ikonboard/ava ... iehood.gif"> "If I wanted to, I could play Twinbee all day..."<P>------------------

Hood. Anyway, just stoping by to see if you are still there. Yes, I did notice the same thing on my Nesicle. Everything does goes fuzzy even on the Nesicle emulator. That's why I play the MAME version. BTW, did you know that Fighters.net is finding a new server, meaning the Message Board overthere doesn't work? Now most of the people of the Fighters.net board, including me, are now at the Shoryuken.com board. Anyway, just stoping by to say hi. <P>------------------

Nice too see you to Mr. Hibiki. Anyway, I have no clue why the freakout is still present on the Nesicle version. It seems like it is intentional BB. Maybe I'll play NES TwinBee again and see if it happens again.<P> <IMG SRC="http://members.tripod.com/bhosmillo/gwinbee.gif"> <P>------------------
