Re: "Bōken Jidai Katsugeki Goemon (PS2) 2000" --> FYI, the PS2 Goemon RPG has an English translation by Working Designs. The game was never approved for release; somehow just recently the protoype was leaked onto the internet.
You can download the demo for free (the link is at the bottom of the article). It asks if you want to donate, but you don't have to donate anything.
It sounds like after the physical release, they will make a rom available, so in the meantime, I'll just fire up a Gameboy emulator and try the demo. If it is good, then I don't mind paying full price for it.
Interesting...the Odin Lite uses the Mediatek Dimensity D900 (there is a discrepancy in the article above, in the text it says "D990" and in the specs below the first bullet point lists it as "D900")...but whatever, this goes to show that the "lower rung" Android devices are catching up.
I wish more companies would make the thumbstick on the left on top, above the D-pad...for now, I'll stick with the Odin.
BTW, I never realized how "meh" an operating system Android is, until I started using JELOS and Batocera on my Loki Max. If only more handhelds would use those, or a similar Linux-based OS. The gaming experience is so much more enjoyable!
@hel105 I have both an Odin Pro and an Odin Lite. Based on this review, both play the same library of games, but it seems the Odin's have better battery life and are cheaper. I really like both, and the Lite, despite the name, may be the better choice.
The killer use for me is the video out on the Odin...I can hook it up to my TV and play games while in bed!
I loved GameFan! Always had the best RPG news (back in the days when there was a real drought in the US) and loved their in-depth coverage of games and systems.
Not sure why people love hating on the Atari Jaguar and Cypermorph (other than the fact it ultimately failed and everybody likes to think they are superior). The Jag had awesome games I still fire up occasionally, the best known being Tempest 2000. At the time the 3DO had flashier graphics, but the games sucked. At launch, Cybermorph was the superior game. Too bad the Tramiel's didn't know how to really run a business.
Based on my experience with my early 1990's Macintosh computers, capacitor leaking is a question of "when," not "if." If you open up your systems you will likely find it. One of my old Mac lists have several people who will repair systems for nominal fees, I wonder if we have hobbyists who will also do the same?
@NEStalgia That's pretty much it! Plus, I'm sure the marketing folks love it, all sorts of free publicity and opportunities to tweet out PR as the crowdfunding deadline approaches.
There is a reason Atari and Infogrames aren't exactly setting the world on fire nowadays...(he says, as he fires up his Jaguar to play some more Tempest 2000!)
I may be interested in this, if it has Jaguar games (and I'm 99.9999% certain it won't).
But...I am sick of big companies taking advantage of crowdfunding sites. I can understand indie developers needing to minimize risk to "kickstart" something, but a big corporation? If it succeeds, are they going to share any of the profits with me?
Rogue Leader was probably the best 3rd party release day game ever. I remember going home and playing this, and pitying the people who had bought an Xbox.

Re: Random: Even If We Don't See Switch Pro Today, At Least We've Got The Atari VCS, Right?
I'll get mine the old-fashioned way --> I'll dig it up out of the landfill they are going to dump all these in lmao.
Although, the mini-pc mode does sound intriguing to me. I wonder if it is truly any good...for the price, I'm guessing not...

Re: Feature: Drugged Coffee, Pirated Games And Empty Bank Accounts - The Story Of GameFan Magazine
@Alexlucard That's interesting! Do you have any posts detailing more of the history of our relaunch/attempted relaunch.
I always loved DHGF from back in the day...

I don't have a whole lot of nostalgia for those days...and I'm not sure the kids nowadays will be interested in graphics like that.
