@Sketcz Hi there, I'm happy you like my avatar, I think it's hysterical. Sort of thing I can imagine the poor kid getting for Xmas when they are expecting a real Dalek prop, and instead get that. The facial expression is when he's then made to parade the new disappointment to the family. Poor chap.
So I've actually had it for some years now and tend to use it across all my forum accounts on whatever websites. I have a feeling it's actually costume line by M&S back in mid 2000s when David Tennant was The Doctor. I'm afraid I can't remember anymore then that but I did find a URL to a pic of it with some other costumes by the same company from 2008. The Cybermen one looks pretty good, the forum users also seem to notice the rather upset Dalek too.
@Sketcz I got the 2 Zelda's on my Android phone and both are excellent. I've had a sniff around the internet but can't seem to find any other N64 recomps coming to Android. Do you or anyone else know different please?
@Gerald You can add Rastan Saga to that list from me.
I notice there are a few available on the Japanese PSN such as Rygar and Metrocross that we didn't get over in UK. Metrocross maybe because it featured Coke cans if I remember correctly, but Rygar should be alright? Darius was similar and eventually arrived years after the Jap release, anyone know why this could be?
Seems that Hamster is currently in a mini slew of Taito games, with this and Solitary Fighter this week, I'm keeping everything crossed for RASTAN to appear in 2024.
I just wish SEGA would package up all their arcade emulators from Yakuza etc and pop them into a lovely package like the Atari50 collection or even the Megadrive classic collection. There are so many there already done, they just need to make a nice interface and include a nice bit of history for each title and I'm sure it'd fly off the digital shelves.

Re: New Xbox 360 Recompilation Tool Will Give Lost Classics Another Chance To Shine
@RupeeClock
Sure thing, was just hoping after 'The ship of Harkinian' arrived that maybe these will be next.
Re: New Xbox 360 Recompilation Tool Will Give Lost Classics Another Chance To Shine
Will we see native Android versions? Love to play Afterburner Climax again I must say.

Re: My Arcade's OutRun Mini-Arcade Will Include The Legendary OutRunners
Dreams of an full Outrun anthology of all the titles release...
Which actually doesn't sound too absurd if they have got hold of the Testarossa licence again for this little machine.

Re: Anniversary: Sega's '3D Reprint Archives' Celebrates 10 Years
The version of Super Hang On is really good as you can use the gyroscope controls to simulate the arcade steering, and it works really nicely.
Another wish for a reissue on modern consoles (sans 3D effects unfortunately).

Re: Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza In Hawaii Will Mark The Home Debut Of This Sega Light Gun Coin-Op
I can only echo the above.
I'd love to see a SEGA arcade collection with the history and background similar to the ATARI50 collection, that would be wonderful!

@N64-ROX
Let me just refer back to my notes from the Atari ST Vs Amiga wars....
Ah yes, here it is.
The Atari ST was crap.
;op
Re: Interview: "We Were World Leaders" - The History Of System 3 And The Last Ninja
Great to see this collection coming to PS5 now too!
Fond, happy memories.

Re: A Bunch Of Taito Arcade Archives Titles Are Currently On Sale On Nintendo Switch & PS4
Rarely on sale, went for
Gun & Frontier
Bonze Adventure
Metal Black
& Don Doko Don
(already have New Zealand Story)
would not recommend getting Dinorex, it is dreadful although a fascinating curiosity.
Re: Last Ninja Collection Will Bring The Classic Beat 'Em Up Series To PC & Switch
Excellent music across the board in these classics.
I hope in the last ninja games we can listen to each levels loading music too.
No Playstation version?
Re: Taito's Chase H.Q. Spin-Off 'Crime City' Is Getting An (Unofficial) Mega Drive / Genesis Port
Arcade Archives releases of Chase H.Q. and S.C.I. please!
Re: Taito Egret II Mini Arcade Memories Vol. 3 Line-Up Announced
Ahhhh Mr Do!
An old friend from when I was a little boy (not that I made a habit of hanging around with circus clowns).
I was hoping that one would appear on the Hamster Arcade Archives, but if it's appearing here does that mean it might not show up?
I see Wiz is on there though and I'm pretty sure that's on the Arcade Archives list too.
Re: Yakuza Dev To Receive Excellence Award For Sega Model 2 / Model 3 Emulation
To echo the above, I too would love to see a stand alone compilation (the Switch seems to have a few on the SEGA AGES brand).
However I'd really like to see a history level compilation, like the Atari 50 to really keep these titles preserved.
Shame due to licences etc we'll probably never see Afterburner Climax and Outrun 2 :Coast to Coast again.

Re: Two Legendary Shmups Are Currently On Sale For Just A Couple Of Bucks
@Blue_Rover
yep bought both individually for £1.59 and then the pack itself now says purchased too, so that's the way to go.
I hope nobody spends £30 on the double pack while this deal is on.
Re: Arcade Archives Officially Hits 400 Titles Released
@Gerald
You can add Rastan Saga to that list from me.
I notice there are a few available on the Japanese PSN such as Rygar and Metrocross that we didn't get over in UK.

Re: Random: Have You Seen This Rare Early Footage Of Space Harrier?
My all time favourite SEGA game!!!
Maybe it was originally to be called 'Space Harrier Jump Jet!'
Re: Space Harrier II Shows Huge Improvement On Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Mini 2
Anyone know if this got patched into the PS4 megadrive collection version?

Evercade, do a System 3 c64 cart and you can take my money!!
How about a classic Lucas games one too, The Eidelon, Rescue on Fractalus, Kronos Rift and Ballblazer!!
Re: Taito Vertical Shooter 'Scramble Formation' Heading To Nintendo Switch & PS4
Anyone have any knowledge, rhyme or reason, why RASTAN hasn't been released yet please?
Re: Guide: All Yakuza Sega Arcade Minigames
@Carck
I agree, I believe Shenmue 2 is the only one with Afterburner arcade playable in it.
