  As someone who has programmed on the nes, <b>it’s harder than it looks to even achieve 4 way scrolling, much less of the non-glitchy variety without using extra RAM.</b> That was one of the reasons I switched over to 7800, however none of my games scroll there except It’s Cyrus Time 3.

  The extra channel you are hearing on Gremlins 2 is actually the NES&apos;s DPCM channel. While it is normally used for percussion, Sunsoft figured out how to squeeze a passable Roland slap bass through it, and many of their later titles use this.

  These games look so good, that I almost thought they were modern games trying to mimic the NES style.

  The speedruns of Mr Gimmick have an insanely high skill ceiling. They are amazing to watch.

  Fun fact: &nbsp;The NES CAN handle the cartridges with audio expansion. &nbsp;But you have to do a hardware modification inside the system, basically jumper some traces together that were cut. &nbsp;Then you can run Famicom games with an adapter and get the extra sound channels.

  I consider Blaster Master to be bar none the best game on the NES with incredible graphics, sound, game play, and progression beats that hit all the right notes. &nbsp;It&apos;s a game that I always love going back to because it&apos;s so fun to play.

  Gimmick also had DRM, which would not allow you to finish with a good ending if the game detected it is in a bootleg cart.

  Gimmick is actually getting a US release on Switch.

  I always loved Sunsoft, I have no idea how they dropped off the face off the Earth once the 16 bit wars began, especially since all of their titles had a lot of TLC.

  It&apos;s a crying shame Uforia and Mr Gimmick were not released in North America.

  How fitting that I got a mail today saying that my copy of Sunsoft Collection 1 on Evercade will be delivered during the night.
