@Exerion76 I got one in the second round!

I'd love for the BBC to upload episodes of "Total Reality", Their attempt to rival Bad Influence that aired around the same time. They even had a CG Violet Berlin look-a-like hosting it, riding a hover bike.

I can't find anything on it online, and dumba$$ me taped over the episodes I recorded by mistake >.>

I'd have thought, if anyone were to do a collection like this, it would more likely be M2, rather than Digital Eclipse.

But, why the Saturn ports, with the exception of Fighters Megamix, they're all based on far superior arcade hardware?

Why not finally release Racers Megamix?

I thought Monster Max on the GameBoy was the sequel?

When the hell are NewWave releasing their Golden Tee collection? It was supposed to be out in April >.>

Is Simon the Sorcerer the one that was voiced by Chris Barrie? (Rimmer from Red Dwarf)

Always used to confuse the game with Discworld as a kid.

@JackGYarwood I saw a while ago Rockstar had an Austin Powers kart racing game in development for the Dreamcast, this was supposed to be released in 2000 too...

But surely Monolith could have pitched a game to Rockstar, they were having a great deal of trouble trying to get the Austin Powers IP to work in a video game frame, and NOLF proved it was entirely possible given the right team.

@Exerion76 makes you wonder what theyre thinking.

Considering Monolith did No One Lives Forever, and they were up for licences, I'm surprised they never considered doing an Austin Powers game.

I was expecting it to be around £400 tops. But £750???

Could that be the SNES edition there?

@PatmanQC I remember that, it wasn't quite the right shade of red, and ended up looking like they were bleeding rust.

So bizarre, Sega celebrating the anniversary of a franchise they only ever fully invested in one game.

The sequel was co-funded by Microsoft, and the GBA port was a reskin of a Tony Hawk game.

The Real Ghostbusters arcade game is a pile of sh1t though, just a reskin of a completely different game that was pretty arse to begin with. Why would they want to make a replica of such a terrible game regardless?

Robocop is cool though, but a real quarter muncher.

Its a shame they couldn't get the recently discovered blood/gore restored version of Mortal Kombat 1 on the SNES. People would have gone mad for that.

The only other game around that time that took any advantage of the analogue controls at the time was probably Dave Perry's RC Stuntcopter.

Is it just the one game inside? I know WWF Wrestlemania won't be included by the lack of buttons alone.

But maybe WWF Superstars?

Beam (well Krome) would also do this again decades with the Aussie manga webcomic, Blade Kitten.

But I remember seeing this game for sale in that tiny budget tape rack in my local newsagent, and thought the artwork was way too polished compared to the art on most of the boxes at the time, was it based on a license?

Which got even more confusing when he appeared in an episode of the original TMNT cartoon.

Hopefully. they don't RunOut of stock

I suppose if Wilbur had a gun in this game, they could then call it: "FlashBackon"

Wasn't there a story years ago, that the best ever performing barcode for the game, one that maxed out all stats, was found on someone's anti-depression medication?

But, I got one as a kid on holiday, from Argos in Hastings! I almost got a C64GS that holiday too, Woolworths were selling them off for £15 each. But dumba$$ me bought a Catwoman poster instead >.>

@Chocoburger YOU WILL PLAY THEIR PACHINKO, AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!!!

@mjparker77 Yeah all the home/console versions are based on the cancelled arcade game.

I strongly believe the game is complete. But no idea why it was never released. Maybe because of an influx of arena platformers from around that time?

Still hoping that the arcade version of Taito's Parasol Stars sees the light of day someday.

Be grateful Josh chose used chips. If he had his way, the boards would be made from orphan bones and puppies!!!

I would, more so if they can translate at least some of it into English.

@RossoftheRobots @kirby2000 The Mega Drive had a mouse, it's not compatible with that?

The MD ports of Populous 2 and Mega-Lo-Mania were.

But it is annoying when Evercade opts for a different port than the original.

Surprised Cannon Fodder isn't getting mouse support.

Aww, and they never added the show's theme song to this release!?!?!

That was the biggest omission in the original game. I doubt you can find a review of the game which doesn't bring it up!

@MG4M3R I'd imagine a lot of them would be more akin to Rouge the Bat from Sonic.

That is a shame, I went there once to guest on their livestream for the Mega Drive Mini's launch.

But always love when Japanese companies have Japanese buildings in the UK, Sanyo had one in Watford too, it's now a gym.

Can we PLEASE have some games other than Pac-Man for once? Some ones that have never had home ports would be nice, like Final Lap or Victory Run.

Says the man who destroyed the development of Mighty Number 9 doing the exact same thing...

Rockstar Table Tennis

@slider1983 Indeed, I think he did release it online a few years ago though!

@N00BiSH Lol, Absolutely. I loved R4 too, imported it before it was even released here back in the day!

You should try playing it on the Duckstation emulator, it looks like a PS5 remaster!!!

Wow, I never even knew this existed. Even Super Play were pretty quiet about it back in the day.

But, an interesting choice to make it a Dungeon Crawler. Especially seeing how popular A Link to the Past was.

@N00BiSH These are strictly the arcade ports dude. So, if they do any more, it'll most likely be Rage Racer next.

I literally have no clue who Salvatore Ganacci is.

I honestly thought from the design it was Maximilian Dude being put in the game.

And Fight for Life was the beta version, Yves refused to give Atari the final build until they paid him. So they said "F you" and published the beta.

He certainly why is is a buggy mess.

Yasuke claims another victim!

@PKDuckman ooh is that this game? I heard about it in the past, but wasn't aware it was THIS game. Cheers!

Bloody knew it would be Piko pushing it!

The Netflix for Arcade Games...

So, Antstream then?

@CopyX1982 @firenze Ah phew, thanks! Thought I was going insane there imagining things

(That or confusing it with Antstream)

Midnight Resistance is already available on the Evercade, isn't it?

Loved Loaded, but if ever there was a game that needed dual-stick controls, it's Loaded.

And Hogs of War is a great choice, the PC version is infamous for being completely incompatible with modern Windows, despite being for sale on Steam still. (Works fine on a Steam Deck though!)

The big head character was a bit cliche'd too, I mean its pretty much been around since The Wizard of Oz.

Even Sega tried it with the "Do me a favour, plug me into a Sega" campaign.

@Damo I suppose games like Hard Drivin' would welcome a boost too!

Laughing at Westerners as all they could come up with was Tennis
