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?

Disappointing that IREM Arcade cart does not include Kung Fu Master

I would prefer to have all of consoles hooked up, but do not have luxury of space (or Plug Sockets) for this.
I also do not have the time for updating my consoles for HDTV compatibility, also do not have time to mess around with fine tuning emulators.
I have a Polymega on pre-order so I can play my retro (most of) collection in the living room, without upsetting the Mrs.
Still waiting for delivery shipment date on that.

I so wanted a 3DS Ages version of this Arcade game, such a missed opportunity.

I never played the ST version, but I did play the Amiga version. Looks the same, except the Amiga had better sound (like with most Amiga Vs ST conversions).

The Amiga Port of outrun was awful, but it was a US Gold conversion. Ocean conversions were always so much better for Arcade ports

Good that Desert Strike and Sewer Shark made the cut. Very disappointed Snatcher did not make it.

@Muriustar good point, although I would probably need to hire a plane or a boat 🤣

This is something I would love to do, but I don’t think I will ever have a suit case big enough

Who’s the Git? Was he or she good?

I am a proud owner of the Jaguar Toilet Seat, but I only have 2 games

I can’t get my head round Daytona champ edition made it in to this list. The 2 things they got right in the 1st conversion (music and playability) completely butchered in this game. This was so disappointing at the time

@themightyant I had Ghostbusters as part of “They Sold a Million 3” on Disc, but tape loading was a nightmare with some games

I guess was round about the time of the Frog Song

@Ninfan hello there. When I wrote the comment, it was an on screen keyboard, and re-mapping keyboard keys to the controller buttons on a separate game menu (before loading the game)
But sinse then, I recently lent the A500 mini to my brother, he managed to connect a usb keyboard and had that working ok.

Like the first C64 Mini, the keyboard on the A500 mini is not functional

No Roland games ?

Loved those early Amsoft games. The music from Oh Mummy still haunts me to this day

Brilliant, retro is my favourite part of NL.

There’s more chance of the Sinclair C5 making a return

My Dreamcast struggles to read discs most days. It’s very hit & miss. I still have my Dreamcast games. Excellent library.
Still waiting for my Polymega delivery

The Analogue Stick placement looks awkward to use

@Orokosaki I have been keeping an eye on Polymega over the last year. The only real negative I have seen is people complaining about is high price. The system itself and in particular the OS has had mostly positive feedback from what I have seen.

Some people will see value in this. I for one do see the value in this product (I am not an expert in all things emulation, but I have a large collection of SNES / Megadrive / Mega CD / Saturn EU & Jap / PS1 games. Where my original systems no longer work. I also have alot of N64 games, a few 3DO games / Atari Jaguar games, these could potentially be supported in the future)
I also have limited amount of space, that makes this system very appealing.
But to each their own

@MrJK I have the mouse working ok, but I can’t remember how I got it working.
For the USB games, select the game with A, but instead of starting the game with ‘Home’. Press Menu to remap the controls (this is how I got most games to work)

I got the A500 Mini a few days ago. I still own a lot of Amiga Disks, so I have no shame in adding titles I already own. Truth be told I still haven’t played the games that are preloaded.
I been playing Cannon Fodder, North & South, Lemmings, Shadow of the Beast, Defender of the Crown, Batman the Movie, Hunter.
I would recommend this to anyone who had an Amiga

I’ve pre-ordered. I like what I see so far

I am interested in a Polymega, I have a huge library of original Mega CD & Saturn games in EU and Japanese. This is a convenient way of playing old games. My Mega CD V1 with 32x is a nightmare for plugs (they are huge)

@StuartGipp lol. Just going to play darts on my PSP

@Verg brilliant

@Verg they could have had a new feature “Karl’s video game diary” with weekly updates

When I saw the picture, I thought it was Karl Pilkington. That would have been funny, now I’m deflated

I never pre-ordered, but I am very interested in this, I have a retro collection of many systems and games, most of which are boxed up due to lack of space.
This would be very convenient

I would guess it will be Dara
