Would really like to have it, but no space

@MontyCircus

One of the Pictures shows him in a Stadium, so he could go full speed there on private Ground.

It is a Option many don't use or know and rather go illegal.

No special Edition with Bimmy?

I just wait and see, good entertainment

@IceClimbersMain

I want that Godzilla game and it is not available or very very expansive -,-

@GrailUK
Some of the oldest preserved and most known books are just entertainment, see Homer.
But even if, you can learn much from that.
It seems not as obvious, because it is contemporary at the moment, but in 50 years, it will show much.
Be it the way people talk or write, the aesthetics, the music, the code used and the hardware... Or just how people had fun back then. Just look at the board game found in egyptian Graves.
And you do learn from games.
Be it problem solving, reading the environment, or tactics.
I learned how to manage money from Sim City 2000, also about infrastructure and needs.
I learned simple programming from Starcraft's level editor (if unit x in amount y is in zone z, than this).
By making maps for doom (dos) i learned how to manage hardware ressources, as it will just crash, if you have too much on the screen.
So you learn how to overcome such things with clever level design.

"dodgy files from unknown sources"
Thats a bit dramatic
Mostly fan pages and many games have such fan patches on fan pages
But glad that there is a better patch now, the old one really wasn't perfect.
Worms 2 has some nice insane option, you can make every bullet of the minigun as huge with its impact as the holy granate

I personally like the Super Nintendo Game more, the Megadrive Game feels just as western Plattformers do of that Time, a bit chaotic and lacking a good Level Design (telling the Players via Indicators where they can or can't go).

Hmm these look interesting

@WileyDragonfly

It seems the game is a homage to 80s Movies and games that are a homage to 80s movies.

Is it a Mega Duke?

Yeah it rotates!
Looking forward into new Super Nintendo Games

@Steel76

I agree, i want badass Lara, not the whiney and especially not the Netflix Version.
Guess it will get only worse.

Nah, was ok but than got boring, rather stop before it will get even more boring

@LowDefAl

But it seems that the CEO is trying to be a real Successor to the old Microprose and one of the original Founders did help out.
So its more legit than others.

But i have to see the Products, to judge it

@RadioHedgeFund

It is not a Masterpiece, but far far away from being awful.
I have played many Games on the C64 and Super Nintendo that could be called awful.
I even count the Ninja Turtles on NES as a very awful Game.

@MasterChiefWiggum
There were some Scenes that were bad, but overall the Prequels had many very good outstanding ones, be it the Battle with Darth Maul, the Pod Racers or the Colosseum Battle.

@AJB83

I like that Cruisn Game on the Switch very mutch and it has no Weapons.
Missed such games
This here has very nice Grafics and does stand out, maybe i'll give it a try

@RetroGames
I am looking at Plok and other Games, that have no Save or Password Feature

Beyond Shadowgate is really good, i can't enjoy Shadowgate as much, because the Mechnic with the Torches is nothing that matches my personal Taste.
I am looking to play the VR Game next

@DestructoDisk

I know what you mean.
I had read a comment in a discussion that was about vinyl Records, that one discribed it perfectly.
Using old hardware is not about the comfort or quality, it is about the whole ritual that sorrounds it.
Taking out the records, turning on the hardware, having all the stuff in your hands and handling it.
As we are human beings in a physical world, it triggers something in us, that scrolling through a digital list does not.

Back to the CD Rom, I have a Memcard Pro 2 and it recognizes games with the seriel number of the games, i guess the project here in the article does the same, it starts the cd to check the sles, slus et cetera code and searches for it on the SD card afterwards

Taking another turn, i guess i will get the NFC Reader some day.
My son is now 2,5 years old and searching through some NFC Cards with nice pictures on it to start a game will be more reliable and somewhat of a physical ritual.
Also, i am too afraid of letting a youngling* handle my Super Nintendo Games, nor want i explain my wife how to use the OSSC and Console.

*When i was 4 or 5, i painted over my Copy of Turtles in Time XP

@Cyber_Akuma

Also a bit strange, as it should be possible to make it read from the Disc.
Playstation (2) Emulators on PC for Example are also able to play the original Games from Disc.
Or Dosbox from real Floppies^^
In the End, the Core shouldn't care from where it gets the Data, it only proceeds it.

Oh and i could swear there was even an Adaptor for the Mister to run original C64 Floppy Drives.
Let me search....

Here it is
https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=4469

Edit:
I could imagine that the Data can't be transferred fast enough.
And in the End, such Projects as in the Topics are just to have Fun snd and toy around

Great Work.
Now i want something similar for my beloved Super Nintendo, as a Satallaview is way too expansive and useless

@JohnnyMind
I wanted to buy one for my Wife, but they are expansive, seems as People are holding to this System like crazy

@Sketcz

hehe it is on my List to play on that core
Haven't updated it, but worked fine so far.
Would wish it can change the Region automatically.

@Madcore

I bought some Repros for the Super Nintendo this Year, mostly japan only Games with Fan Translations on it.
Do you know what? They have a MUCH better Quality than some official Rereleases i bought for much more Money.
The official Rerelease of Wild Guns and Cotton doesn't even fit properly into the Super Nintendo, the Plastic is too thick (and feels Cheap).
The Repros from China are even so nice, you can exchange the Battery completely without Soldering.

So i am not sure if these PSX Repros in the End are able to boot on Stock Playstations.
Maybe they found a Way to do the Wobble.

The Prices of some Games are insane, so i am glad if People can at least get some very good Repros.

@BionicDodo

Strange that it hasn't happened yet, those are good Games.

@slider1983

Than prove it.
You said Games have DRM, name a few, i have 650 Games on Gog, i will look if i can't download the Installer or can't play it without Internet Connection.

@slider1983
No, Games on Gog do not have DRM, you can play them all offline without any DRM to deal with.

The Article should Mention Gog, as the new Law doesn't affect Gog, this Store is doing Customers a big Service.

@-wc-

You can also get it on Gog for a bit more than a Euro.
Overall i would say it is also worth on the Evercade.

I would say the Game is also a Take on Zelda, but the top down ones
You get Spells and Items to get into Zones you couldn't before and you are going through Temples, instead of Maidens you get some, ehm, magical Thingy to make a Pillar shine.
Atmosphere is very good, gameplay isn't perfect, but does its Job.

@Razieluigi

Yep, they really should have done

I am more than five Hours in and can really recommend this Game to Point and Click Fans.
The Puzzles are all solvable by Observing and Thinking (so far) and dieing resets you a Step behind, so it is very fair and focuses more on you using your Brain and Curiosity.
Was stuck only once, because i didn't see that there was an Exit behind me in the Castle ...

It sold a few Days because you must Drive 3 Days till you reach Racoon City

Cool, i think i will give it a try.
Saw that Ultima Underground also got a English Patch, but i got a Heart Attack when seing the Button Layout ...

@RootsGenoa

Well, this will change by Time, as Technology gets better.
My PC with Win 98 did need a 400 Watt Power Supply to run a Pentium 2 with 366 MHz to run some 3D Games barely
The Wii U has a 34 Watt Power Supply and the Stuff it puts out are Worlds apart.

Processors get better in Capabilities and Energy Efficiency, Codes get smarter, Algorithms get better.

And as you say, even Chips for the local PC are coming around.

In the End theres even coming something around with that, i would count that Critic more with Crypto Currencies, where you could get the same Results with a simple Data Bank.

@RootsGenoa

It is the same as "Game X in Unreal" Videos, it will not die so fast.

Besides of that it becomes very boring fast, i don't see such a Problem with it.
It is just People messing around with Technology, did it myself with Editors that came with Games back then.
This leads in the End to Mods and other creative Stuff.

@DeciderVT

The PS2 i have tested only on Emulation
Would be big Sorcery to have it on Mister haha

Will take a look if i find the same Demo Disc online and see if something is wrong with my own Rip and than report it

I ripped two Demos yesterday and the Mister does not play them
They have also some graphical Issues over Emulation in the Menu.

Also ripped a PS2 Demo, has also Issues on Emulation, but here they are even bigger.

Hmm but does Aliexpress buy out defective Consoles off the Market?
Sounds not so plausible.

Would be really interesting to see where they really get the Stock from.

I see AI as a good Tool to generate generic Parts of a Town.

The Artist creates the Artstyle and maybe the Streets, the AI makes than all the Buildings, Trash Cans etc.

Special Land Marks, important Streets and so on will than be made by Hand by the Artist.

Just look at Daggerfall, there it is made in a more primitive Way, but as explained above.

And lets be honest, as bigger the Map, more Copy and Paste you 'll see
Also, in real Life you see many samy Buildings
Especially Brands you see in every City.

So don't dismiss AI completely, it can help Artists a lot to concentrate on the important Stuff, instead of putting Trash Cans, Litter and Posters in Corners Player will pass on 5 Seconds.

Interesting.

For everyone that wants to save some Money.

You can accomplish that with your a Smartphone and some Tags :>

@bicbuck

Guess they also count in the illegal Software contained and the Risk cheaply made Batteries and AC Adapters bring.

In the End it is also a Wrong against the Competition, that has to undergo many (costly) Certification Processes.

A Mister or similiar inside would be great.
Or a small factor PC.

@Rudy_Manchego

Some of those Coders are real Magicians and also very passionate.
As it is often, this also means those People can get themself too much into something and this can become toxic.

A nice Qoute is also, it is only a small Step between Geniality and Insanity.

Edit:
Not meant specifically about the circumstances here.
I am not into the Topic and probably never will.

Edit2:
I could swear that i have once read that MK is coming to the Mister and that similiar Boards were in the Work.
As even the PSX and N64 work, would ne a bit strange that MK doesn't.
Maybe i just misremembering

Don't put your own Believings into your Research, it will bring you wrong Results.

It was a Game that featured different Characters around the World, just to have fun.
There was no "hidden" Meaning.

Btw. i can recommend the Video from Splash Wave, very very good done with many actual Infos about the Development of the Game.

Great to have it preserved

@SlangWon
You are right, could be because they changed from being a japanese Company to being a US one.

@JankPickle
Haven't tested this one in particular, but i play many on thr SD2SNES/FXPak.. and they work fine.

The next Sega Console will launch at 22.22.22

@Poodlestargenerica

He wasn't rude, he did not say that People have to vote in this or that way, he showed respect to Walz for his non political Gusto.
I think it is everything ok with that Comment.

Great! Tried to play it this Year and sadly it crashes after the first Island.
Yes, i have a Fan Patch, seems to not work.

I have a small Win 98 PC, guess i could try it out there.
