Wondering if there ever was a lawsuit about it. | tenebrisalietum wrote: | Probably not. The characters are very dissimilar and have only | one common attribute: | | Differences: | | - Mickey Mouse has small eyes, Sonic has big eyes. | | - Sonic is blue, Mickey Mouse is black. | | - Sonic has spiked hair, Mickey Mouse has big ears. | | - Sonic has red pointy shoes, Mickey Mouse has yellow round | shoes. | | - Sonic has no shorts, Mickey Mouse has red shorts. | | - Mickey Mouse has a mouse tail, Sonic has a stubby hedgehog | tail. | | - Sonic wears socks, not Mickey. | | The only thing that's common is the fact both have white | gloves. | [deleted] | minimaxir wrote: | This is a joke, but the original concept for Sonic was a | character named "Mr. Needlemouse." | http://info.sonicretro.org/Mr._Needlemouse | ipaddr wrote: | Anyone remember the best mario type clone (Mayham in | monsterland). | http://www.psytronik.net/newsite/index.php/c64/96-mayhem25 | reificator wrote: | I didn't know the C64 had blast processing! | | The levels and characters look great, the gameplay pieces are | mostly there, and the music at least sounds authentic, if not | exactly pleasant. Something was definitely lost in translation | there but short of writing new music I don't know what else they | could have done. | | Great work all around. | kwertyoowiyop wrote: | Zero page = blast processing! ;-) | pupppet wrote: | Are devs somehow cheating at these games made for retro consoles? | They look so much nicer than games made during the console's era. | detaro wrote: | The hardcore communities today have a few decades extra | experience and time to find tricks, that does help with many | retro machines. | nigerian1981 wrote: | I believe this requires the RAM expansion unit | beschizza wrote: | No, but it requires a RAM expansion that was not very | affordable in the 80s, costing more than the c64 itself. | | Compare to Amstrad CPC Sonic, for a similar 8-bit machine--but | only the final and most expensive models. | nigerian1981 wrote: | Looks a bit better than the previous attempt | https://youtu.be/B1UpBjITF1I | zamadatix wrote: | Forum seems to be going in and out so here is the YouTube video | linked in the post if it's not loading: | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGp4a00OeRs | detaro wrote: | and archive mirrors of the post itself: | https://web.archive.org/web/20211213153537/https://www.lemon... | / https://archive.md/3WFnX | bitwize wrote: | Way past cool!
