Just give us Rainbow Islands already

I would love to have the Arcade1UP cabinet for this game, but just don’t have the room.
I get my fix from Rogue Squadron 3 on the Game Cube, but it’s not the same, not having the Arcade Controls.
Arcade controls could be replicated with Motion on a standard controller I guess. What are the chances of this coming to Arcade Archives? (I have 3 hopes)

I still have a Multi Mega. Easy to quickly hook up

Imagine having to watch Titanic again 😜

I had Time Gal on the Mega CD. That was brutal (difficulty), not sure I have the reactions now for games like that

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture is that has to be a Syrup, but from the video, I am thinking probably not

I actually preferred the 1st Virtua Cop over the 2nd because of the 1st Virtual Cop having Multiplier Bar (encouraging multiple hits) - excellent for score chasing

Never played Sol Dease, but played lots of Sol Fease, as this was a Mega CD Launch Title. Absolute loved the music in this game

@Ninfan not sure. I have to confess, I have no interest in this remake, but I love the original, along with Operation Thunderbolt

@Ninfan at the time, Sega’s equivalent was ‘Line Of Fire’
Maybe that’s what you are thinking of?

I always felt basketball games in the 16bit era were awful until NBA Jam arrived

Cake, Hammer, Earth, Apple, Tap.
Is what I remember from Robocod

Excellent article. Takes me back.

@TheIronChimp I wrote that comment back in September

My favourite Dreamcast game. Loved the real time night & day conditions.

Speaking of adverts, I remember the Pizza Hut advert with Damon Hill & Murray Walker. That was a classic

The man who created Outrun….. reduced to this

If this is the so called ‘Big Announcement’ that was delayed from last month, that is very disappointing.
They should be more focused on delivering the orders that they have taken peoples money for.

I think the 1st Shinobi game is definitely worthy enough to be in the list also.
World Class Leaderboard was also quite good, having this on the Amiga, the GG conversion was not far off.

But I guess we could put any Master System game on here with the use of the Convertor

Still waiting for delivery. It’s ironic that there is a delay in the announcement on a gift that is to compensate for delays

Excellent list. I would also include G Police and Colony Wars. Also the original F1 or F1 1997.

Very sad. IK+ is a fantastic game, one of my favourites

Will be interesting to see what the pack in games will be. Also, how well the emulation is.
The Saturn emulation is very good from what I have seen, but there have been plenty of early YouTube videos from people who had already received the base units. We haven’t seen any N64 games running yet.

There are some short YouTube videos of someone using the light gun with NES Duck Hunt, and Megadrive T2. Looking forward to playing Saturn Virtua Cop on OLED

I always wanted this for the Saturn, but could never find it cheap enough

Why this and the other 3DS M2 Classics didn’t make to Switch is mind boggling.
The Ages selection on Switch was questionable and a Crime that the series was stopped

That was a Mullet to be proud of

Would love to get both Tower Mini’s, but the cost is so high

@Hikingguy I still have the cart, but I haven’t had my 7200 hooked up for over 10 years. I was very surprised how well it played. Very fast, smooth. It also has Parallax Scrolling, which is impressive……most impressive.

I hope Taito continue to release their old Arcade games as part of Arcade Archives.
I still hoping for Rainbow Islands, New Zealand Story, Chase HQ…..and Switch has still not got Bubble Bobble

I will watch it, but sorry to say it will never be like the original. These are different times

I’m a little disappointed my favourite 2600 games were not part of this compilation.
These were Kaboom, Frostbite, and Empire Strikes Back.
Also, how could they leave off ET

This is good news.
I am always keeping my eye out for this on the Saturn, along with other Saturn games like Bulk Slash and Stellar Assault, but they are extortionately expensive

I would buy all of them, but I guess Dreamcast would be preference with Shenmue 1&2, MSR, Ferrari 355 as a must.

But would love an AM2 & AM3 Arcade Compilation Mini (with Sega Rally & Daytona included)

I used to have this game on Amstrad Cpc 464 as part of ‘They Sold A Million’ compilation. It’s so long since I played it, I don’t remember if it was any good

I have not looked at it yet. Been playing Desert Strike since I got it yesterday

@Damo they feel annoying compare to my old pads (feel more sharp, less rounded)

@Damo on the 6 Button Controller you got with yours, is there 2 lumps on the Y Button (on the lower face of the button) ?

I just checked an old 6 Button Controller, they are there, but not as noticeable

It is frustrating for sure. I pre ordered at the end of 2021, and still waiting news.

I believe there people who pre-ordered much earlier than me, are still waiting

It would be nice to get some indication of the que length

Will always have time for anything Amiga

I’d buy that for a Dollar

Loved the original Jason And The Argonauts

I would like them to add the original Rainbow islands. The extra version is as good, but just doesn’t give that nostalgic feeling

I have a disk box full of Amiga games and Amstrad 6128 Discs, that I haven’t tried for over 10 years.

You can’t beat the Arnie 1 liners from the 80s!
Commando and Running Man have some classics

@damo I picked up a Jap Streetfighter Alpha 3 for £15. I keep my eye out for s Saturn version, but never want to pay the current prices.

I do have some other Japanese Saturn games that utilise the 4 Meg Cart, but I used to run my Japanese games on my EU Saturn, with an import cartridge, so never was able to get the benefit of the extra RAM. My Saturn no longer works.
Currently waiting for a Polymega to arrive. I hear that this will run Saturn games with the extra RAM updates. How significant are load time improvements on a PM ? (Would be interested to know if you have a game like Mortal Kombat on Mega CD, do you still get Shang Tsung morph loading?)

I would prefer an Arcade Archives release of Operation Wolf and Operation Thunderbolt.
So many Taito old school arcades begging for a budget re release.
Add New Zealand Story, Rainbow Islands, Chase HQ, SCI to that list

Great to see Pilot Wings 64 get released. I never understood why this never got a VC release on Wii or Wii U

Still waiting to receive

@JackGYarwood No worries, thanks for update

What system is the Demo on?
