A-Team what great moments i have on this show.
Sadly it is not good as Amstrad Version.

It needs a remake version.

It needs a different game. Looks like a small Spanish studio got their hands on the license and they gave us an "Operation Wolf" clone. Guess Ocean didn't think of grabbing this one.

And there's a C64 game of the A-Team, but it a different game by a different company. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKodedZIZ_I

Can't say which one is better than the other.

From what I've seen, the C64 release wins the "golden palm", by far... as worst version!  :biggrin:

The C64 was really marginalised in Spain at the time. Many software house didn't bother to program for the C64 or outsourced those versions of their games to another company. Surely this explains why there's a different game for the C64. Someone noticed there wasn't a proper C64 "A-Team" game and published their own rubish.

Being European, I was very surprised when I found out the C64 was such a success in the USA.

IIRC: during the 80s, the Commodore 64 was a big success in Germany and Italy too... ;)

I can only speak for Spain, where I think the C64 was rare compared to the Amstrad and the Speccy.

Just learned a few NES games won't play their sound samples correctly, it has to be with something called bit-reversal. Luckily (or not luckily for FBN developers), there a bunch of patches that aim to fix those games.

Here they are.

EDIT: Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition Enhanced for the MD also got updated to v1.4.

IMO the proper way to do this would be to add the function to the emulator as a dip option to reverse the dmc-channel bits.
..instead of adding a bunch of patches/new romsets.  A lot of emulators are doing this now-adays :)

Let's see what Gab75 thinks?  Should we have dip-option or the hacks?

I'm leaning towards the first option: "a dip option to reverse the dmc-channel bits".
In my humble opinion, when possible, it's better emulate/use the original ROM images and not the patched/hacked versions... :)

DIP option is now available :)
(quick test with Double Dribble)
