Blaster Master (other)
''Blaster Master'' is a video game series that was originally developed and published by Sunsoft. It began with the 1988 video game ''Blaster Master'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System, and the series has been rebooted twice. The first reboot, '' Blaster Master: Overdrive'', was released in 2010 and intended to "rebuild the Sunsoft brand in North America", but it received mediocre reception from critics and did not see a follow-up. After another hiatus, the series was rebooted again by developer Inti Creates with the 2017 video game '' Blaster Master Zero'', which retained an 8-bit style of graphics alongside similar gameplay and level design to the original, serving as a sort of reimagining of the title. The game was a collaborative effort between Sunsoft and Inti Creates, with Sunsoft still owning the property but Inti Creates handling full development and publishing. Its success led to it receiving two fully original sequels, '' Blaster Master Zero 2'' in 2019 and ''Blas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Video Game
Video games, also known as computer games, are electronic games that involves interaction with a user interface or input device such as a joystick, controller, keyboard, or motion sensing device to generate visual feedback. This feedback mostly commonly is shown on a video display device, such as a TV set, monitor, touchscreen, or virtual reality headset. Some computer games do not always depend on a graphics display, for example text adventure games and computer chess can be played through teletype printers. Video games are often augmented with audio feedback delivered through speakers or headphones, and sometimes with other types of feedback, including haptic technology. Video games are defined based on their platform, which include arcade video games, console games, and personal computer (PC) games. More recently, the industry has expanded onto mobile gaming through smartphones and tablet computers, virtual and augmented reality systems, and remote c ...

Porting Of Video Games
In software engineering, porting is the process of adapting software for the purpose of achieving some form of execution in a computing environment that is different from the one that a given program (meant for such execution) was originally designed for (e.g., different CPU, operating system, or third party library). The term is also used when software/hardware is changed to make them usable in different environments. Software is ''portable'' when the cost of porting it to a new platform is significantly less than the cost of writing it from scratch. The lower the cost of porting software relative to its implementation cost, the more portable it is said to be. Etymology The term "port" is derived from the Latin '' portāre'', meaning "to carry". When code is not compatible with a particular operating system or architecture, the code must be "carried" to the new system. The term is not generally applied to the process of adapting software to run with less memory on the same ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
