Attack of the PETSCII Robots :: PAL SNES Review
1,170
Published 2023-07-15
Can you believe new games are still being released physically for systems as old as the SNES? In fact, Attack of the PETSCII Robots was released physically for many other platforms even older than the SNES, so maybe it's not so unusual.
As soon as it was announced for the SNES though, I immediately ordered my copy! It's a game I've been interested in for some time now, and I'm glad that I can now finally play it; and on my original SNES, no less!
So how did I take to the game? How does it play? And, most importantly, how does the PAL version fare? Is it running slower than it's NTSC counterpart, or has it been sped up for all of us playing games in 50hz?
(And before anyone asks... yes, I did happily pay the higher shipping costs. I don't want my support for another YouTuber to turn out to be costing them in the end)
Many thanks go out to The 8-Bit Guy for developing a great game, and for everyone involved in porting the game; to the SNES and to other platforms too!!

Which version of Attack of the PETSCII Robots did you get?? Stay safe ❤

Thank you for the great review!

I beat it a month ago. Its challenging yet fun. I wish more new games are being made for these older consoles like Petscii Robots. 8-Bit Guy in a previous video said he's bringing more games that he made to the SNES.

Games running 20% slower on the PAL SNES are period correct😂
-
get your console modded with 50/60hz switchless mod, easy to do

Of course it would work on a Mega Drive, if anything it should be easier to make a homebrew game on MD hardware that SNES hardware due to the Mega Drive hardware being more comptable for modern programming languages than the SNES stuff. It's just a matter of time...

This has been on my to-buy list for a while. After realizing via another video that David will not be making more of these, I just had to snatch up one of the remaining copies of PETSCII which happens to be the EU version. Won't matter to me since I made the switch to playing on clone systems, so I'm just glad to have this in the collection before it is too late. It's really cool that I could also put the ROM onto a flash cartridge, no additional cost!
