I do not understand why people would go to such lengths as to hack developers and just throw their stuff on the street, basically.

It's not for you. It's scummy to do so. I guess it is sort of fun for us readers to read about unreleased stuff, but if we don't know, we don't know.

Hacking is a skill that can be used for good and bad. Please just use it for good.

This? This isn't very nice.

I remember drawing SO MANY Worms in my notebooks when I was in high school. I had my own style but they did sort of resemble the ones shown here in the art.

I still draw them sometimes.

I LOVED Worms. I can't get into it anymore though. I bought a newer one a while back on GOG, and it just no longer clicked with me. I tried playing it with my sons, and one of them liked it well enough, but it seems there are far less hours in a day than what I used to have... Time has become my most precious and RARE commodity.

That said, fond memories of the first one. My worms Shadow, Locke, Sabin and Edgar will live on in my thoughts forevermore.

Never knew there was a version with backgrounds and my goodness are some of those backgrounds ugly!! Why did they make those?

Bad nostalgia can't exist. That's like asking for hot ice cream.

I have deep love for some bad games too, I am sure. None I can name off the top of my head, but surely some games I love are considered bad by most.

Would I play them again now? Probably not, but probably more for lack of time than anything else.

@Cyber_Akuma Not even. If I am reading it correctly, and I might not mi d you, but it seems you basically burn a simple "play this game" executable on the CD ROM, like those cards mentioned, and it plays the game off of the hard drive.

Wow. Sim City had such an amazing soundtrack. I loved it so much.

@KingMike I did not know that. Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

I will always regret that I didn't buy an import copy, which I saw at a market stall. I had a modded NES.

I made up for it when I got an imported FF III (SNES) years later.

That game was life changing for me.

Love little stories like these.

How does a metal buying company get this stuff, and where have these things been all this time?

So he needs 300K, and hoped to get that from backers paying 3 bucks.

That means a 100,000 people will need to back it before production can even start, and they are offered 30% off, which I imagine means a break-even for them.

I don't think you are going to find many more people to then pay full price. I'd be surprised if there are a 100k enthusiasts already, though I could be mistaken on that front. And even if there are a million, they will all be paying 30% less.

So unless that still nets them a profit, this seems a fool's errand.

Not to mention the name. Just because Sega appreciates Sonic fan games doesn't mean they are going to accept this blatant banking on name recognition.

@Blast16 That's just the pre-order admission fee.

Last Ninja is one of those games I've seen and even played very shortly several times when they were new, that have a nostalgic grip on me for the exact reason they were just beyond my grasp to really play.

I might bite once it's released.

Great game, awful translation. I actually booted it up a few months ago and well... it definitely had issues with putting everything English in the same amount of text boxes as the Japanese script, I can tell you that.

GREAT game though.

That is awesome and way too expensive for me. Also, I can't ride one anyways... even if I had the cash.

You mention three titles, but there is a fourth one in that picture, the something something Dan game.

Which, coincidentally, I read an article about just two days ago, which was pretty funny,. But I can't remember the full name of the title any more. It was an interesting story though, with the game almost being localised but ending up not being released, and the US name was hillarious.

Edit: I can see an article about it in one of the related links... So I guess I am being dumb. Bio Senshi Dan.

At a glance, this sounds a bit like a nothing burger.

It seems to merely mean that buyers (yes) need to be aware that there won't be a (re)download link available in perpetuity for most storefronts. Looking at GOG, that doesn't seem to be an issue there, and even if at one point GOG is shut down, having the digital files is no more or less prone to deterioration as is physical media.

We can't buy NES games anymore in store, we can't even buy some current gen games because they are sold out. It really is more or less the same problem. Buy now, you might not be able to buy tomorrow. And once broken/deleted, it is gone.

Csn I just voice my appreciation for the sub header being perfect for the title of the game?

Anakin meme insert : Ooh, this "Collection" has all the games in one collection, right? Right?

No, just the first two.

Call it Origins instead then, or something. Calling it a collection is just not right.

Wow, a Japanese dude being rude. That's a first... outside of animé at least.

I mean, I get that it looks nothing like DD, so fair point, but delivery, man. Delivery...

It looks really nice and awesome of Team17 to give their blessing.

Because Sonic lore is so consistent, lol.

I could never do this job. I am way too autistic to have to deal with the MYRIAD of inconsistencies within its "lore".

Same for Mario, Zelda and many more franchises, mind you. Maybe that's why I love Suikoden so much.

"Users will be able to take EA assets and create their own games"

So... we can take soccer players and soldiers and create... what? Battlefield Soccer?

Awesome!

Anybody here know anything about unreleased games?

I was just thinking about this game last night. I had this on one of those 32 or 31 in 1 cartridges. Pretty magical.

I LOVED the first 10 seconds I kept seeing from Last Ninja. Not having the hardware for it myself, I was stuck seeing it elsewhere. So this game has a sort of mystical status for me.

@somnambulance Those "not afraid to go against" games still exist though. One could argue Stardew Valley is one, and if you like impossibly huge, sprawling simulators, you owe it to yourself to give Dwarf Fortress a try.

@Poodlestargenerica You design games? You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. Pray do tell.

Can it connect to a GC with a link cable? That is all I need...

Or Swuare finally patching in proper multiplayer in the FF CC Remaster...

@Poodlestargenerica You have a top 100?!?
I kinda wanna know about it. Can I find it somewhere online?

My guess is the fan translation is better anyways, so let's not get our panties in a bunch.

@WaffleRaptor01 Well, I also clearly see Dhalsim, so you can't really argue that they are not taking more than a little inspiration.

Ultima VII is such a great game. It was impossible to finish pre-internet, but my goodness was it fun.

And I still don't understand how the game made me want to climb up the roof of that derelict building. Nothing SUGGESTED a secret there, yet I was compelled to climb up it.

The great mistery of gaming.

I know nothing about any of these companies but if something happens between your company and another, and then a similar thing happens with you and yet another...

That doesn't breed a lot of confidence...

These are not merely vibes, this is a deliberate hommage. Which is fine, but it doesn't just feel like an early FF game, it's supposed to mimic it.

But I like getting bogged down in lore, so probably not for me.

@KingMike Translation issue, most likely. Japanese is difficult to properly translate.

But anyhoo, "unfortunately" scrapped? Glad they ended up with FFT, because this looks worse, and the RTS part, which simply means "overhead map with real time movement until co tact is made" , like in Ogre Battle, would mean a completely different vibe.

Ah yes, teaching. See, the subject never matters, if you can't get them invested.

Even the most fun thing in the world can be turned into something dreadful if one needs to know. Make theem want ro know.

@Diogmites You hit the nail on the head. Make yourself interesting, or at least make the students curious. Either option works. I am an educator and you seem to understand the game pretty well.

Tinkle Pit REALLY sounds like a euphemism for a toilet.

Almost makes me want to buy it.

Miniatures!! Give us miniatures!!

@Tasuki It would be silly of them if they didn't put him in. Same with how it was awesome that Ricci was in the Wednesday series.

The standard edition will already include a crapton of awesome wannahaves and will cost you less than than the cost of games even in the 90s.

Meanwhile, modern games have nothing extra in the box and cost thrice as much.

@Ristar24 I think I read each of the Total! mags I had a 100 times over. I especially loved their review of Dizzy. Never got to play the game but their review spoke so much to me.

I want an animé of this game in the style of the artwork shown as the header.

This is what Zelda has always been for me. Zelda II was my first, and while I also adore Zelda III, I think II will always give me the most feels.

Love these types of games but don't like this premise.

I still draw Worms characters (my own style) from time to time. Loved this game. Not so much the later games, the original is where it's at for me.

@hambury Total! was super fun to read. As a JRPG fan, sure, Super Play had the 1 up, but before I heard of Super Play I was a devoted Total! reader, I could read their reviews a 100 times and still enjoy them.

@Spider-Kev I was just about to say the exact same thing, almost word for word.

@Azuris Thank you for the explanation.

I don't think I am in the market for any of this.

Atari games were always expensive. I am glad I only had a brief run before the NES came into our household.

This is kinda hillarious.

@MysticX You might have forgotten Jiskefet.

Not that tame.

Anyways, I wasn't even aware he had passed away 10 years ago. As another Dutchman, I can tell you he was definitely known here.

I was mayhaps a tad too young to watch his style of comedy, and our alternative channel wasn't really something that would be tuned into in our household, so I never saw anything outside of a few clips of the Young Ones. I do remember that music video with them in it.

Without reading too much of the article, I miss then90s dearly. I LOVED reading magazines. Could read them over and over. And over and over.

If I kept them, I could honestly read them now and enjoy it greatly.

I absolutely loved that NES game.
