I'll clear it up: I didn't really want to delve into "rom territory" since that's a gray area. But unlicensed products, they are always a risk to your consoles. Your consoles are always meant to play licensed game-cartridges/discs. The ones you buy from dedicated shops or dedicated online-shops.
Interesting read! Of course he did what he could with the budget available. Sadly the games weren't conceived as good. But how many of us did actually play them? I haven't played them either, so I can't really judge the games. A pity that he's dead though.
Haven't seen that much of him, though I liked his role in Midsomer murders (If I recall correctly he played that hated uncle, hated because he told the truth!).
He seems to have been a crazy guy. I guess I should check some stuff of his out on youtube! Rest in peace Rik!

Re: Feature: Take A Peek Behind The Curtain At Rare With This New Exhibit
Lol: You can skip the entire second room, since its about Sea of thieves.
But seriously, I would have loved this exhibit. And its free! But I live in Holland, and its fricking hot!!
Re: Alex Kidd In Miracle World Was Supposed To Be A Dragon Ball Game

Re: Atari's New Console Seems To Be Part NES Classic Mini, Part Ouya
Looks nice, but it won't be a real competitor.
It will just be a streaming-box, you can bet on that.

@roadrunner343,

Hopefully that clears things up.
Re: Flash Carts Could Be Slowly Killing Your Retro Consoles
@roadrunner343,
Okay, but unlicensed is bad in my opinion. Or at least it is risky.
Re: Flash Carts Could Be Slowly Killing Your Retro Consoles
Nothing new. They are illegal cartridges, and they are always to be used at your own risk.

Re: Myth Becomes Reality As Atari's E.T. Cartridges Are Unearthed In New Mexico Landfill
On one hand its very cool that the mystery has been solved, but on the other hand: There goes the mystery! One thing less to speculate about!
I wonder about the AVGN though! It seems they have beat him!

Re: Rare Nearly Took On The Nintendo Game Boy With Its Own "Playboy" Handheld
Rareware handhelds could have been great! On the Snes and N64 Rareware really where the graphics wizards!!
