Desperado will no longer be "desperate" but "patched"
Just last night during the live show on YouTube, I was told about the existence of a project to improve the success of Topo Soft Desperado . I quickly went to X to check it out from araubi's profile, where you can see a comparison video of before and after .
Let's remember that Desperado is a free adaptation to home computers of Capcom's arcade game Gun Smoke (in fact it was sold outside our borders as Gunsmoke).
And as was the custom back in the eighties of the last century, the MSX version, if we compare it with its "brother" the ZX Spectrum, is slower . But it also came with some bugs that ruined the experience in front of the computer screen. A little disappointing, really.
37 years later, someone has taken the time to fix what others didn't want to/didn't know how to/weren't allowed to do at the time . So this improved version finally offers us a more fluid movement, closer to the Spectrum experience, more colorful sprites and scenarios (which is appreciated to forget the monochromatic tedium) and fixes bugs here and there like the behavior of some enemies at the end of the level or the flickering of the sprites.
Maybe now is my time to return to the Wild West to finish this Desperado.
