Is the Trial of Kharzoid finished ROM going to be compatible with the oryNES paddle controller that was bundled with Arkanoid? If not could you please at least think about it for a future update or sequel?

@@CannabisKiddThe problem is that I use more than one paddle, sometimes up to 5 paddles in one level! It would be impossible to control them with a single arkanoid controller. And I use all 4 buttons, and the special controller only has one. So I decided not to support it. I really tried to come up with solutions! Even creating a custom controller! But I'm just a lone small indie game dev, it was becoming too much of a project. But I will work hard to make it fun to play with a regular NES controller. Thanks for the comment.

The best advice I can give when it comes to this is to either reach out to a few devs or have a look at NES Maker which is way to get into making your own games.

Anyone know what the game was in the intro? Not Pelusas Saga or Shera and the 40 thieves. But the shooter at the very beginning and the platformer right before Pelusa. Was that also Pelusas Saga? I haven’t played through it yet so I wasn’t really sure. Thanks

I always knew that those systems back in the day had some more to show,the companies didn't dried them out good enough as we can see here! I do however know as well that in some cartridges they can enhance them with extra chip power those years which wasn't possible back in the day due to nintendo's tight ass way of thinking,suppressing the developers even back then to be more creative! That's why also not many releases saw the light of day to other regions besides japan etc! One of the consoles you can say was gone to its limit was snes,with games like donkey kong country in the end of its circle! The thing is though that they could made even better arcade ports those years but the costs would be too risky & high for the companies,that's why you see in many cases butchered games we loved in those 16bit systems! I would love to play those on my nes they are and look really nice! Well done to those ppl responsible behind those games!
