My Tribute To Bloodlust
Thanks Buddy!
|
I'd like to start off saying if you only know Bloodlust for its emulators you are really missing out. You should try some of the great games they made. I personally have been a Bloodlust Software fan since the original Noggin Nockers. Despite the cheesie graphics and not exactally great sound i still found it quite fun. One of my friends recommended it to me and we played it hours at a time. Noggin Nockers 2 came out shortly after i found out about the original and I also found it enjoyable. Then later on Executioners came out. It was different, and I never really did seem to get into it. Its sortof a pun on Final Fight except its a bit more violent. I didn't here much from Bloodlust much untill someone was telling me all about emulation and Zophar's Domain. There i picked up a copy of Nesticle 020 the first version. "The only NES emu with elephantitus" : ). I regret that i no longer have this. My oldest version is 021 and i would appreciate it if someone would send it to me. I was amazed with the whole concept of emulation like so many newbies are learning today. The speed was good and the emulator was pretty decent though there was no sound. Then later 021 was released and the source code was given out. The whole project was threatened and was supposedly cancelled for a while. Later on the project was picked up and version 030 was released. Sound quality was then superior to any other emulator. From then on it was smooth sailing with improvements in each version. Some time during June or July the first version of Genecyst came out. Its quality (not compatibility) was superior to any existing genises emulator. The sound is now comparible to my original genises which is impressive. I haven't kept up as much with genecyst because Sega Genises personally isn't my favorite system. Id really rather be playing Coleco Vision. Genecyst though faces tough competition, not dominating like Nesticle did and as. Even later Callus 010 came out. In the first version only Final Fight came out. I could strongly relate to this emulator because it was video games from my generation. The graphics aren't too shabby and the gameplay is pretty good. Most of the game quality look close to that of the Neo Geo system. Its not exactally 32bit but its better than the 16bit of Super Nintendo or Genises. Even the first version was enough to impress me. It ran the games smoothly on my pentium 120. Then and currently no snes emulator can match this. I was amazed. Then in the second version my all time favorite game Street Fighter 2 The Wold Warrior. Every version keeps supporting more and more versions. Im just so happy its hard to express it but this is a shot at it. |
