I'll be honest, I don't remember any actual music, so much as I remember sound starting whenever a character was moving. It was repetitive, sure, but I had a lot of fun with it. It was no "Sonic & Knuckles," obviously, but it was still a pretty solid game. The SNES game does look like a lot of fun, but just from looking at it, I get the feeling the controls are probably a little "slippery"; like the Roadrunner doesn't control quite as nicely as he did in Desert Demolition. Am I the only one who feels that way?<BR/><BR/>Do you plan on writing about any other Looney Tunes games? I can't record any footage, but I'd be happy to supply other material for other games.Arunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963903014958999855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-86623303628164747532008-11-21T16:33:00.000-08:002008-11-21T16:33:00.000-08:00I actually prefer the animation in the Sega versio...I actually prefer the animation in the Sega version but the nintendo version has better music, especially the boss theme.Ricardo Cantoralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518171797365794688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-33876200407649573862008-11-15T18:55:00.000-08:002008-11-15T18:55:00.000-08:00The problem with Desert Demolition's music is that...The problem with Desert Demolition's music is that it literally reacted to your footsteps. So with every step you take, a new note is played. I understand they were trying to go for that scene specific Stalling/Franklyn style, but it just doesn't work for games. At least, not these older ones. If you've ever played Dig Dug, it's the same deal.

The Genesis was better at games with a lot of speed but it's sound chip wasn't as good or color pallet as deep as the Super Nintendo. The SNES games looked prettier but I remember a lot of heavy action games having a lot of slowdown.<BR/><BR/>Plus the first clip is from an emulator, not a real Genesis. The sound might be better on the real deal, but I kind of doubt it.Rob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03389079991952510620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5052525513598295339.post-76711682323502444292008-11-15T02:31:00.000-08:002008-11-15T02:31:00.000-08:00I won't say that the Sega's one was the worst, is ...I won't say that the Sega's one was the worst, is preety nice though, but could not exceed the work at Nintendo's.<BR/>First, by watching the video of Desert Demolition I didn't get what's the main mission of the game: the classic chase of RR or a sort of "trip" with our beloved bird across different scenarios, in which Wile E. has to make a sort of testing of the various Acme products?<BR/>Secondly, it's about the scenario: I really enjoyed them, but what does the "mexican" scenario in the level 3 has to do with the original cartoon series? As I remind, I never see a RR short taking place between those sort of "kasbahs" that strongly remind me famous video games like Aladin or Prince of Persia!<BR/>Finally, the End: the concept of it's nice, but the programers could had develop more by using more animations!Silvia Lisantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14388056546990393959noreply@blogger.com
