Re: Technically impressive games?

For me, technically impressive doesn't always equal syncscroll, border killing or 1 vbl.

But Enchanted Land is a marvel for sure, what I admire the most is that it runs on 512k and from what I understand uses a single screen buffer with sprite-sorting that fit the electron beam to avoid tearing. I don't think it plays nearly as bad as you guys say. However, it's not always 1 vbl, when you encounter a boss, certainly that big sprite does not update each frame?


But the game that always wows me is No Second Prize. The intro is just epic. Someone told me that NSP uses the same polyfiller as TCB's Flashback demo. That makes me curious; does TCB use Jungens polyfiller or does Jungen use TCB's (without giving credits in the game)?
