The Cash Converters in Great Yarmouth had an entire bargain bin full of these controllers.

No idea where they came from :S

@JackGYarwood TBH I could like the anime-esque look the SNES version of Aladdin has.

Kinda reminds me of Turbo Toons on the SNES.

@Juga_Juga Wouldn't he be better as King Hippo?

@JackGYarwood Ah, excellent, thank you! Can I msg you on Twitter or are there DMs on here? Save clogging up the comments page

British retro YouTubers who talk about nostalgia for the NES, like we all grew up with it were clearly infected by American channels.

The NES was literally a rich kid's toy in the UK, an overpriced console with overpriced games, mainly thanks to Mattel completely arsing up the deal and essentially handing the entire console market to Sega.

There's a few games that are ownership no man's land I can think of, "No One Lives Forever" being one off the top of my head.

@nocdaes Thanks, it's really the PS1/Saturn version in particular, but thank you for your help still

Hey Jack, did you do any research on FIFA 96 at all? There's some info on it I've been looking everywhere for, but I just can't seem to find a copy. >.>

Could it have been intended for the "stop and swop" concept?

Which was a bit of a dumb idea, considering the console also used memory cards!

@slider1983 Yeah, I remember seeing a car repair company years ago online still using Amigas.

I think I've even seen a few places still use an Apple 2.

@slider1983 Yeah, loved Probe!

Sega has great IP's, but they've done precisely fcuk all with them since the death of the Dreamcast.

Yes, there's been some great games in recent years using Sega IP's, but they're all licensed out and wouldn't exist if it wasn't for passionate fans doing something with them.

All Sega have done is Sonic, Football Manager, Sonic, Sonic, Yakuza, and more Sonic. While quietly brushing utter dumpster fires like Hyneas under the carpet.

@jimmytodgers It'll probably be how we view how casual everyone was with asbestos years ago.

The Switch port of Virtua Racing was originally meant to be on the 4th volume of Sega 3D Ages.

Probe Software made the Viz game too! Who also developed games like the Mega Drive/Genesis port of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2, and later games on the PS1 like Die Hard Trilogy and Alien Trilogy!

Question though, how do you use it if you play the steamdeck docked?

But interesting device, Kinda reminds me of Datel's external mini hard drive for the PSP, a whopping 4gb of memory for only £170!!!

1> SNK Evercade carts bundled with a Neo Geo Joystick/Pad.

2> A replica AES console with Evercade VS guts.

3> Evercade Alpha painted in MVS arcade colours and Neo Geo button layout.

It's kinda cool, but considering the SNES and the Mega Drive had re-branded ports back in the day, is it really that impressive?

There's gameplay of an extremely early version of WipeOut in the Angela Jolie movie, Hackers.

@slider1983 Is it even possible to buy them outside of their website, when they're not out of stock?

@NewBond the remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn had loads of extra people/traffic added to the city hubs in the game!

@Fallingshadow when did you order?

How about actually getting their Tomb Raider Evercade VS consoles out to Amazon???

My order has been delayed for nearly five months now!

I bought this game with my holiday money one year, It was such a huge disappointment, considering how Sega managed to stike gold first time with Castle of Illusion, and they follow it up with this tripe.

This enhancement feels like "what if Sega released a Mega CD version of Fantasia?".

Amazing how Infogrammes got away with this mess for years, did they EVER make anything decent in this generation?

@profkross I'm trying to gather evidence for a video, but from what I gather it's a personal grudge from one of the heads, after they dicked him around over a super cheap copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga he wanted to buy! (not a joke)

@NewBond Yeah, I remember them saying in interviews they wanted to make the actual city the main character of the game (if that makes sense).

But the only real difference really is it's missing a couple of side streets/back alleys, and the game makes London look far far cleaner and far less traffic than it actually does/is.

I absolutely loved The Getaway, the city was such a close approximation of London, I actually used to use it like a TomTom/Google Street View to plan some business trips I had there back in the day.

I am honestly surprised we've not had a remake/remaster of this game, considering it's Sony's first ever cinematic game. Ant it would be nice of them to remaster a game that isn't three years old for once.

But, note all the CEX stores are boarded up in the game, no fake replacement, literally boarded up as Studio London despised them.

@UK_Kev It's set in London ten years in the future, hence the self driving taxi's and The new Euston arch.

Do you think he could also get Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball running on this too?

Just asking for a friend.

@Nua sign your comment?

@Sketcz Sega did that in-house with their Japanese division. Same with Jurassic Park and Dick Tracy.

@JackGYarwood TBH I quite liked the more Anime look the SNES version had with it's sprites.

But, I think gameplay wise, the SNES version is the better game, even if the Mega Drive version destroyed it graphically.

BTW do you know if any of this had any affect on the Blue Sky version of Aladdin before it was axed?

@retrogamer1 Aw, thank you

@RetroGames I said it's not mode 7, the moose chase scene, and the tower ascention.

Well, it's almost 2025 now, what happened?

£250? I literally bought two genuine Gamesmaster Golden Joysticks off eBay for less than that!!!

Cheers for the shout-out

The presenter, Adrian Hedley is probably most known today as the guy who infamously played Mr. Noseybonk on Jigsaw.

It kinda reminds me of the Coleco Chamelion.

Didn't you do a feature sometime ago on Sega's patent of the Saturn 3D pad?

It was designed to be a plug and play system, capable of adding rumble packs, light guns, air mouse Etc.

There's definitely false nostalgia, like how many kids today think EVERYONE grew up with a NES, all because of the American YouTube channels talking about their history.

Is it Mode 7, or is it that wrapping feature that Mickey Mania did on the Mega Drive?

(Also Nebulus, and Battletoads on the tower stage on the NES)

Didn't Disney additionally animate the sprites for Sega/Virgin? So they were literally drawing in a sword for Aladdin.

@retrogamer1 Aw, thanks matey, I really appreciate it!!! I've been rather sick behind the scenes unfortunately, so not put anything out in nearly a year. But I will be back soon, written a ton of scripts behind the scenes.

I thought it was a Gizmondo scrolling through

I bought one back in the day, it's actually not too bad!

They also used the same technology in the West a year later for a Star Wars game.

Is it only going to have the one game on it, or will you be able to add more?

@MegaManFan Aw, bless you. Thanks bud ^_^

@ThisIsPete Wasn't Pyramids of Ra on one of those unnoficial multicarts that Hulk Hogan promoted in the '90s.?

@Tasuki Yeah, there's a few art pieces of the character during development.

Shame they haven't brought him back in some shape or form.
