Nestopia's Launcher can sort by mapper too. But this is cool and has several distinct uses.

Follin's music is awesome.

If you're considering making a video game whose setting spans an entire class M planet pole to pole, you have to be able to simulate tropical, desert, temperate, and polar climates. And if you skip doing the earth science research and try to project a typical console RPG patchwork map onto a sphere...

That's actuallly similar to the idea I had. It's not perfectly ideal of course, but at least it is something that covers the important aspects. And it would look pretty good in action.. There is also this: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HauyConstruction.html Which is kind of cool, but again, it's also...

Maybe it would have to be like 3-D WorldRunner or Cosmic Epsilon... and rely on sprites. I thought of the way that is apparently used in King's Quest as you have described it, rainwarrior. It's cool to hear of a game that actually has a spherical world, unless I am misunderstanding. The split scanli...

Yes.

But Final Fantasy II's overworld isn't a spheroid and the map doesn't function in real time. Edit: It doesn't matter if it looks like you are on a curved surface. Just that it is an actual globe, rather than a torus. An imprecise way of rendering it might be fine. An "overworld" that is on...

How feasible is it to make a program for the NES that lets the user explore the surface of a sphere? Such as a replica of planet Earth?

I doubt it would be possible for the NES to handle a nice RPG overworld in the shape of a spheroid. But maybe it could do something simpler?

I knew I should have checked to see if there already was an admin appreciation day before making that post!

There needs to ba an admin appreciation day.

Thanks, man! You must do all kinds of stuff that is totally invisible to users like me, but it makes my user experience much easier.

Thank you.

I have seen a lot more message board spam lately. It's kind of sad.

It's cool!

Search for the sprite and edit it to have nothing but transparent pixels?

Don't know what you're talking about, OP.

I am sure that people were working on that project a few years ago, but I guess it got abandoned.
