Virtua Fighter was a very good port. I also still have Night Trap 32XCD, the video quality is very much improved. Doom was disappointing, but there is now a very good Fan Made Patch update that significantly upgrades it.
Speaking of F1 and Video Games, I saw a YouTube video of Lewis Hamilton playing PS1 games. What made me smile was that before he put a game in, he blows the CD. We all did that
I’ve had the Polymega for over a month now, I am really enjoying the system at the moment. Saturn works very well. I had a few issues with Mega CD, that fixed with side loading original Bios. For the N64, there were few glitches with the games I have, but after continuous play, those issues have disappeared. Only issue I have is with Lylat Wars and Jet Force Gemini not working, but I expect this will be fixed in the next update. Very much looking forward to the Light Gun later in the year. and more systems coming.
I think the SNES lag is an issue with the last update. Prior to 01.30 Update, SNES ran just as good. From the info on Discord, the issue with SNES will be resolved in next update. This is just what I’ve heard (still waiting for Base Unit)
I remember Turbo Outrun on the 8 Bit Computers. I had this on the Amstrad, and although it wasn’t a bad port, you had to wait for each stage to load. Then my friend showed me his C64 version, that had 4 stages loaded at once (no load times)
I was like…. You Bast**d
The 8 Bit Wars (Speccy Vs C64 Vs Amstrad)
For future Polymega Sales I get that those games will not be available, but for people who already purchased the Polymega how can they be deleted?
(Excuse my ignorance on digital purchases, but as an example, on Nintendo Switch eShop, if a game is no longer available, the game is not deleted from my library, or at least I have not experienced that. And I can re-download that game at any point, providing that the eShop is still open)
@Poodlestargenerica I thought the PS2 version of Virtua Racing was awful. It looked nice but something with the car handling and screeching noise just turning killed it for me
@Jimgamer8 I ordered in Jan 2022. I have to wait until end of Feb for my Base Unit (according to their latest shipping status), Yet you ordered after me, and you are getting it next week (I’m happy for you, but this is just another annoyance of Playmaji).
@Damo I just got confirmation that my Ultra Module has been shipped. Although this is fantastic news and I am not knocking it, I don’t yet have a confirmation on the Base Unit 😂
I echo the comment above regarding the Cannon Fodder music, but I guess it is for PC reasons. Still baffled to why the Amiga versions are not used in these collections
I just see online in some YouTube Video comments that Atari now own 49% of Playmaji.
I don’t have a source or anything, so I don’t know how reliable these comments are.
Not sure why the delay in this update should delay them sending out Base Units / other Modules (assuming these updates can be downloaded). Was hoping to receive before xmas.
I would like to see an old Mastertronic or Coadmasters retro compilation. There were loads of decent £1.99 games in the 8-Bit Home Computer era.
To list a few:-
Soul of Robot
Finders Keepers
Spellbound
Fued
Caves of Doom
Speed King
@romanista I am using my A500 mini for all things Amiga. (Not lucky enough to have a Pocket). I also recently played Speedball 2 on my GBA. That is much more comparable to the Amiga (inc Ice Cream)
I was so disappointed with the Megadrive ports of Speedball 2 & Xenon 2. If you're used to the Amiga versions, there really is no contest.
It is baffling why Amiga Ports were not used here.

Re: There's Still Time To Secure This Trio Of ZX Spectrum "3D Combat Classics"
I had Starstike 2 on the Amstrad CPC. Excellent 3D for an 8 Bit.
Re: 30 Years Later, P47's Cancelled Mega Drive Port Finally Has A Release Date
I remember having this on Amstrad 464. It was a very good port (not the usual ‘just port the Speccy version over’)
Re: Polymega System Update 1.1.32 Now Available, And Boy Does It Do A Lot Of Stuff
@Damo Did you tryout the PM Collection you received? Interested to know how that installs (do you get Atari Lynx in the Systems in the main menu) ?

Re: Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection Won't Include Yoshiki Okamoto's Most Hated Character
I still have this on Saturn, along with X-Men Vs Street Fighter.
Re: Legendary's Live-Action Street Fighter Movie Is In Trouble
There’s no need for a new Street Fighter Movie. The original Movie is all we need 🤪
Re: Parasol Stars: The Story Of Bubble Bobble III Heading To Modern Consoles Next Month
Was this not an Arcade game? I was expecting this to come to Arcade Archives
Re: Review: Epilogue GB Operator - A Handy Tool For Game Boy Collectors
No worries. Not sure how GBA will look on a big TV. I still have a lot of GBA games. Good version of Speedball 2 with Ice Cream
Re: Review: Epilogue GB Operator - A Handy Tool For Game Boy Collectors
@Damo with GBA games ? I know it can be done with GB and GBC
Re: Review: Epilogue GB Operator - A Handy Tool For Game Boy Collectors
Wonder if this could be a way to get GBA games onto Polymega
Re: Unpacking The 64DD, Nintendo's Most Infamous Flop
Would love to pick up one these, if I had some disposable cash
Re: Atari Is Reviving Legendary Games Publisher Infogrames
Loved ‘North and South’ on the Amiga (not the sh*tty remake on Tablets, and Switch)
Re: CIBSunday: Sega Multi-Mega
I still have a Multmega.
Only issue I have with it is that not all versions of the ‘Pro CDX’ Cart (to play other regions) are not compatible.

Re: Arcade Archives Holding Special Event To Celebrate 10th Anniversary
@romanista that would be good, although I would be happy with Giro Aiming if they could do it
Re: Arcade Archives Holding Special Event To Celebrate 10th Anniversary
I hope this results in Operation Wolf / Thunderbolt, Chase HQ, SCI getting announced

Re: Random: We're Obsessed With This Photo Of Christian Bale Playing An Amstrad
He knew Amstrad was better than Speccy and C64 😜
Surprised he didn’t have the 6128 with colour Monitor.
Re: Random: Whose Eyes Are Those In Daytona USA?
It’s not Hill, unless someone shaved off his eyebrows
Re: Thunder Helix Is An Indie Tribute To Games Like LHX & Desert Strike

Re: Random: Why Are American Game Journalists In The Credits Of Road Avenger?
@Damo Do you have Road Avenger on Saturn ? (Was wondering how it plays compared to Mega CD)
Re: Please, Sega, Let's Have A Proper Fantasy Zone Sequel
In addition to that, bring back the ‘AGES’ line of games, with a decent selection (including the original Sega Rally)
Re: Playmaji Gives Update On Polymega Light Gun, Base Unit, Module And Controller Pre-Orders

This is just what I’ve heard (still waiting for Base Unit)

Re: Polymega's Latest Update Removes Some Pre-Installed Games
@RetroGames it’s a sh*te state of affairs. Even BMWs do Indicators on subscription. Mind you, that explains alot
Re: Sega's Turbo Outrun Has Been Ported To The Commodore Plus/4

Re: Best Sega 32X Games Of All Time
@Poodlestargenerica from that point of view I would agree. You are right about Outrun, that was shocking

Re: Anniversary: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Is 25 Years Old Today
Without a doubt, at the time, the best game ever made, and still the greatest in my opinion. Still love hearing the soundtrack
