I see there's some kind of a discussion about game resources being reused that's going on. I mean, it only makes sense to have something that a team can reuse. Why reinvent everything every single time?

 Sun Nov 04 20:26:03 +0000 2018

Before we accepted the term "engine" as something that's completely separated from the game logic & resource matters, "engine" was mostly a piece(s) of code that could be reused.

 Sun Nov 04 20:29:21 +0000 2018

It happens all the time of course, but in retro games it's even more noticeable. Like, take a look at Disney games by Capcom for the NES.

It is such a weird choice, and such a jarring one tonally, that I have to warn people about it when I recommend the movie. On my first viewing, past the half hour mark I was like "why isn't this movie a modern day classic?," and then at the end I found out why.

Pretty sure you're imagining things. It's just the renderer (which is software) is going beyond 256 colors in this case.

It's a good game (except for dreadful fighting). And it was cool of them to include the original on the disc as well.
