I admit I haven't played alot of games by these other companies, like Nice Code. But we can all agree:
Yong Yong is a steaming pile of technoturds.Thanks for all replying, guys! :D[/quote]Woah! They made some decent games :(
They made Street Fighter Zero 4, and some other fighting games, and they're decent. AND they still make games today. :P[/quote]Well, I
will say with no sarcasm that gameplay-wise, their color titles aren't the worst. There's little to no moving platforms to worry about, the level design is fairly pedestrian so there's not that much crazy Megaman jumping, and most of the enemies just slowly amble along, only being a real threat if they're positioned next to a pit. I've played games that had even worse level design and obnoxious enemies with tons of projectiles and that chased you.
Yeah, they definitely improved later on. even their music got (slightly) better.
It's very clear from all this that I really need to put some time aside to play some more ROMs, I think I've fallen behind a little in the past year or so. xD
I guess I'll be off to the BootlegGames Wikia to find me some prospective games to play. :P

..Well some ARE dumped, but won't start up, so I'm trying to fix them. Either some are bad dumps, or just so glitchy (or have AP) they won't start in emulators. :'(
But looking in the ROMs I find hidden stuff, like I found MakonSoftStudios in the SRAM of all the platformers by Yong Yong that have palettes. ^_^
Update: I sorta fixed Sonic 8 but with glitched cutscenes then freezes :P

Though I only found two apps myself and they didn't seem all too spectacular but, eh, mobile games. xD
I'd like to add another company who I don't actually know the game of. The game I'm basing this off of is a Big 2 game for the SNES. It shares tunes from the MD game Super Big 2, has poor sprite art (save for maybe the guy you play as, who's art looks similar to what I've seen in Legend of Wukong) and while I'm not fully knowledgeable on the rules of Big 2, even with what I know about the game I feel like I'm playing the cardgame equivelant of Calvinball. (http://www.bartel.org/calvinball/) Worst part (aside from starting with half the credit the opponents are using as well as card matching minigames that give you random time limits as low as 2 seconds) is that the game will randomly mute the sound effect and if you win after that happens (not when anybody wins, specifically you) the game fades to black and hangs there. This is on a real system and with TWO copies of the game. I think we found the only 16-bit game developed by Yong Yong.
Edit: Found out it's Super Big 2, which is dumped. I'm betting the ROM version has these same problems as well.
Presumably it was someone associated with Gamtec, but I guess whoever they had working on SNES games wasn't exactly their A team anyway. Although they had a decent graphic artist for Pokemon GS and Digimon Adventure at least.
