This video does not include unofficial versions, homebrews and several versions that are mere emulation, such as the one present in the Namco 50 Anniversary compilations and the virtual shops of the most recent systems.
There are official versions that unfortunately could not be included in the video, such as Palm OS, J2ME or iOS. If we get them one day, maybe we'll publish an updated version of this video.
Unfortunately, the only version of Super Cassette Vision available is corrupt and for this reason you can appreciate graphical and sound errors in the footage.
You are surely freaking out about the MZ-700's graphics. Without the PCG chip, this system could only display letters, numbers, and basic geometric shapes. This version, in fact, was originally created just for fun by GAME ROMAN, but due to its playability so faithful to the original game, NAMCO decided to release it.
Which is your favourite version?
