Damn it.
I may actually kinda want to pick this up.
Next do Daytona and Sega Rally !!

Won't be picking this up.
Not because of icky AI art. the game it self just doesn't appeal to me.

@Zeebor15

The series has always been kinda bat guano to be honest.

It is getting crazier though.

@Right_Said_Brett
Tried that.
Didn't like it.
Too much hassle.

I just want a Sega sanction M2 developed collection of retro Sega Arcade games, with all the bells and whistles and options.

Or a series of collections.
A Daytona collection
A Sega Rally collection, etc

@Daniel36
Fair enough

At the start of this year I wanted to make a dent in my backlog and finish at least 40 games.
When I hit that goal I decided to keep going, and I'm at 86 now.

@N00BiSH
Cause they strike hard and fade away again.

@Zeebor15

Think kingdom hearts deranged play and story order gives it a run for its money.

@Daniel36 I did play it for a bit, and it's a fun game, but there is way too much stuff demanding my attention.

Isn't that the same for all of us ?
I'm closing in on 90 games beat this year.
It's hardly made a dent in my backlog.

That's cool and all but i'd rather see these games get released ina seperate collection.
And not embedded in a totally different game.
Yakuza/Like a Dragon, are fine games but i don't always want to boot up one of them trek to an arcade and then go through the motions just to play Daytona 2.

@Daggot
Probably PC-98, those screen shots look way too good for the PC88.

PC88 graphics are unmistakable ( and they makes my eyes twitch)

And here I was setting my Evercade back up again after months of disuse.
Might as well grab it.

Hooray, another one !
Lets hope they will ramp it up to 8 a month
However will we cope otherwise ?

First time i see it.
Hopefully it will also be the last.

@N64-ROX

No.
Not the current ones anyway.
Maybe the pi5 is powerfull enough to do it.

It's pushing the ps3 around as well after all.

Hope it wont get cranky.

....Yes i'll get my coat even I thought that was a terrible joke.
But somebody had to make it.

Less easter egg and more reference.
But once you see it you cant unsee it anymore either

@845H
Off course.
But it's a start.

@Pillowpants
That's just the accumulated grind.

I took that 20k peed run from an ahem infamous speedrunner.
Who only speed runs the same SpongeBob game for the past 8 years.

SHiFT also known as @shiftposting

It sure is something
He has a tendency to go ballistic when he messes up.

@845H
Proof of concept ?
To show that its possible ?
From here on in coders and modders can improve emulation but they have to start somewhere.

Speed running ?
Admitting defeat ?
Since when do speedrunners do that ?

If you tell em something is impossible they will sit down and grind away 20,000 hours just to prove you wrong.

@Daniel36

Must have been a fluke.
Or maybe Ubisoft patched it out between now and then.
I managed to get the game going no problem with no log in needed.
There is a log in option on the main menu though.

But considering Ubisoft is burninating right now

@Axelay71
No it was an ebay purchase.
From what I understand its a clone of one of the earlier basic Everdrives.

I generally prefer Real carts but I don't have much connection with the Megadrive.
Even though the Megadrive II was my first console.

I dont really care much for nostalgia.
I'm aware how weird that sounds considering where i am.

@turboxray

It's almost like this is a UK based website with a uk and European centric view where we are used to calling the machine Megadrive or something.

@KingMike
It also doesn't have any hardware sprites or scrolling.
But the graphics stil make my eye twitch.

As in actually unpleasant for them to look at.
I cant deal with the scrolling effects of Street Racer either, gives me a splitting headache.

Watched the video yesterday.
The game it self is ...not great.
The differences between cd and floppy are minimal.

The graphics are still ...mine eyes the goggles do nothing level.

@MSaturn
Immortals Fenyx Rising yes ?
Just tried the physical copy of that on my oled NX.
It still works.
I can get to the character creation screen and in game, no problem.

Even if it is a joke its fairly tone deaf and vaguely insulting.

@PinballBuzzbro

The screaming comes from the collectors when they realize they sunk a fortune in to what is essentially a worthless "collection" because everybody has multiple copies of the same thing.

All those dead eyes staring in to the vacant void, of whats left of their souls also dont really help.

As if we dont have enough reasons to hate Funko flop
Here is another reason to loath, them purveyors of soulless dead eyed vinyl monstrosities.

If anything this thing in this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrW2-TVjkmc
is more worth an article, or at least a mention

The ModRetro Chromatic.
A one on one hardware clone of the Gameboy color, in magnesium case with a modern screen.

@GhaleonUnlimited
Unfortunately all the rom hacks and fan translations are already locked behind the log in page.

Unfortunate but it is what it is.

@MrPeanutbutterz
Is it rendered at fifty freedoms per second by blast processing ?

@Daze_of_Reality
Some suggestions: It would be cool if they make Catwoman a playable character in the two player mode. And also tone down the difficulty in some of the easier modes.

I totally agree with that.
That would be really cool.

@Blast16
Or Megadrive VS Mega Drive.
A skirmish !

@AJB83
Friendly discourse.
Even if the Megadrive is a better name and the machines original name it was only called genesis in the USA because of Mega Drive Systems inc.
And the dispute that followed.

But it's also suggested that Sega founder David Rosen* didn't like the name Megadrive and pushed for Genesis.

And we are at least not arguing about blast processing.
Very blasty.

( *Sega started as an American company in around 1949 before moving to and being incorporated in Japan.
The company provided entertainment avenues for US soldiers station in Japan, pinball machines and the like.)

@poyo_pie
Thats a good generation to call it quits though.
Before all the "conveniences" of modern gaming.

@poyo_pie
Modern gaming is *****?
Yeh.

Most of my gaming these days is retro.
Or semi retro.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
It was a great run while it lasted.

DF Retro ( and I suppose i am ) are throwing il on the fire with this ps1 vs Saturn comparison
Driving games 1 on 1 !

@MrPeanutbutterz
No see, the USA is the centre of the universe so we have to adjust to them not the other way around.

( thats sarcasm people )

And technically speaking there are legitimate rom hacks released on the platforms as well

Mario Bros 2 is a rom hack of Doki Doki Panic
Probotector is a rom hack of Contra
And Sonic Mania is a rom hack as well.

Rom hacks are nothing new.

@jesse_dylan
Ours would be filled with variations of the same games over and over.

Some games on here puzzle me though
Ridge racer 1 ? really ?
It's damn near unplayable nowadays.
Type 4 is the superior game.
Same goes for Dynasty Warriors ( 2)
It's own sequels are way better.

@Axelay71
I got a very basic one.
And a clone on top of that ( i tend to call it a fakerdrive)
It has none of the advance features like save states.

But it does what its supposed to do and play the games.
So it's decent enough.

@TJSpyke
Romhacks and fan ports are not illegal, they fall under fair use.
As long as no money changes hands.

@Axelay71

Yes.
That's how I plan to play it.
On a Hyperkin Megadrive clone.
No original hardware here whatsoever
( well i got a megadrive II, with a sega cd attached to it, but that's in storage)

@Profmcstevie
Even on consoles it was troublesome.
There was an ugodly amount of sprite flicker on the NES.
The early Snes games were saddled with slowdown.
The Megadrive has a metallic twang that can sound like somebody stepping on a possum tail.

The games often were obtuse and extremely difficult.
Or easy as hell.
There was no middle ground

Things didnt really level out untill the ps2 era cause the early 3D era is "speshul" on the consoles and the pc.
Lots of jank but lots of amazing creativity on display as well.

@Blofse
It's not even fluff, its too much of a nothing to even be fluff.

@Luminous117
Same.
In theory they are really cool, but there are many of the damn things now with such small difference it's getting hard to care about them.

And technically this thing is a GBA clone.
It clones the GBA design and at first glance it looks like a modded GBA.

@obijuankanoobie

Not just the name but there is an ocean of them.
Each new one a drop in the seemingly never ending ocean of emulation handhelds.
They were once cool and unusual but are getting really tired and samey now.

I'd rather just pull out a DS XL and play on that.

"Would you play a game called "The Adventures of Rupert the Battlesheep"?"

Yes.
Yes I would, I like quirky and unusual games and that title sounds absolutely deranged in a delightful way.
