No i modded my systems.

Did I just read right, Neo CD, at last my Neo top loader can get something new to play. Instead of being left out by the AES/MVS. I don't get why the Neo CD doesn't get the love, yes I know it has limits compared to the cart system. But surely amazing games can be produced on it. The tech is more or less the same. With games like Earthion coming to Megadrive, which look stunning. Surely devs could bring amazing shmups/platformers to Neo CD, must be cheaper to produce as well being CD format.

Yes I remember visiting the Rathbone shop. Downstairs was F**cking retro heaven. It was incredible. Wish I would of bought a lot more then. Now that shop would of been Cleaned out in days I'm sure. Back then most were only interested in the new stuff.

Amazing system, if like me you love 2D gaming. This beast is a sprite shifter, with some of best shmups & beat em ups ever made. Unfortunately the PS1 got all the hype & the rest is history. Personally I prefer the Saturn hands down.

Looks brilliant, another amazing megadrive shmup.

Damn looks amazing!! This needs to happen regardless of a 3D remake. Look at Metroid both 2D & 3D. So this definitely needs to happen.

Amazing game, Amazing system, Amazing programming. And in a 4 MB rom, and they moan like F**k nowadays about storage & specs.

Has potential for sure, but it ain't like the mighty Earthion coming Megadrive.

Miyamoto wouldn't lower himself to make dross like that anyway.

@Jimgamer8 totally agree, also checkout Earthion on Megadrive. Going to something very special.

Incredible times, amazing magazine, the best era of gaming period the 8/16 bit era will never be matched. The magic of gaming & consoles is long gone unfortunately.

God this looks stunning, better every time I see it. This is classic Thunderforce style design that oozes replayability you tell straight away. Cant wait to get my hands on this beauty.

Would be great for expansion to house more power, unabling the Nes to do more. Similar to the FX chip.

Another quality looking indie megadrive game:)

Potential purchase for my steam deck:)

Great to hear Atari are going back to the arcades.

Go's to show how the tide is turning, the 8 & 16 bit era is the true golden era of gaming. With physical media slowing dying thanks to the download generation. Owning the real kit will eventually be a thing of the past.

Would be great to see Streets of rage get the same treatment:)

These look brilliant 👏

@CasePB couldn't agree more mate, it's all about making maximum profit now. With endless open world crap. No passion or real commitment to the hardware. I really do believe the devs in the 16bit era really loved the tech & wanted to exploit it.

And that's what makes the 16Bit era even more amazing. The games & the boxart are unmatched. Nothing today comes close. The guy is a genius.

It's great now I have Steam deck & Switch the choice is great 👍

Can't believe its 30 years old, still incredible. The Sega model tech is the stuff of legend.

Love Atari of old, new Atari doesn't convince me. Not keen on the recharged series. For me personally all these new versions completely loose the charm of the originals. Neo sprint looks dire. I will stick to Super Sprint thanks.

Something Nintendo should of released years ago on 3DS.

Great & all, I have Vectrex emulation. I also have the real system. Emulation just doesn't compare with the vector display.

Looks great wonder if its ok to run on steam deck.

Great to hear, definitely buying a Steam deck soon anyway for the emulation builds you can buy on SD cards. Looks like the ultimate handheld for us retrogamers, plenty of power no compromises.

Rare have certainly made some amazing games, unfortunately when they sold out to Microsoft. The magic & originality disappeared. Nintendo missed an opportunity they should of snapped up Rare.

Great list, Sega rally, Thunderforce V, personally I would put Sega ages Outrun, Raystorm up there.

Amazing magazine, just such an exciting time to be a gamer. Especially with the Japanese console invasion coming, to grab the industry by the balls and change it forever. The 16Bit era the best there ever was & will be.

@Azuris I'm sure some quality shmups could be made for it. Games like Alpha mission 2, Last Resort, Ghost pilots, viewpoint. More or less loaded in a single load. Obviously they would charge the extortionate cartridge prices. Yes I know the AES/MVS has the advantages, but there is definitely a market for Neo CD.

Looks fantastic, but why no NEOGEO CD. Cant understand why the CD system never gets any love.

Well even more reason to keep my physical collection & keep growing it. Its the fools that keep downloading that have created this problem. The funny thing is most games cost more to download than to buy on physical. I guess its the throw away society we live in. It will definitely effect gamers who can't afford to buy new all the time.

Looks fantastic, shame it never happened for Saturn officially.

More shooters the better, Earthion & ZPF look amazing!!!

@Hairlesswookiee totally agree my friend

The Saturn should of always had the best version its 2D capability was Better than PS1.

Not good news, it's horrible to think of all my legacy hardware dying eventually.

@RetroGames couldn't agree more, would love the Snes to get proper support like the Megadrive.

Remember the Edge article, think I still have the magazine somewhere. What an amazing era, Sony were on the ball, they still are.

Looks amazing, hopefully an Nes/Famicom cartridge release will be available.

Looks a great system, but availability & price is a joke. I have a mini pc that has practically all the best arcade games ever. Including Sega model 1 2,3, I will stick with that. Also my Atgames legends cab for the real arcsde experience.

Nice system, screen is to small for me personally. Dpad is a bit finicky as well. Should of bought the XP or VS.

@RetroGames couldn't agree more, imagine the Snes pushed technically like the Megadrive is getting.

New Gunstar heroes, Sin & and Punishment, Gradius. Any would be welcome.

Brilliant game, have it on my mame setup.

Looks great will purchase this, love Silpheed. Would really love to see a new Silpheed or a remastered Mega CD version.

Would be great to see Polymega consoles available in the UK & affordable. Maybe with the Atari partnership things may change.

@Agent_P like i said i prefer the original tech I'm a purist. I have emulation systems, but its the original gear I like in my collection.
