Stun runner! Siiiick. Absolutely loved being able to play that again at arcade club in bury. Even though getting on the cabinet was akin to doing a commander Riker....

Quake for me. Even though I actually couldn't play it on my pc at time of release and. Didn't have a N64. I can actually remember playing angry birds on my phone and was amused I could get around the adverts by just turning off the WiFi or data. COD4 I had for my ps3 and it was indeed seismic. But after having played nighdives excellent quake remaster I think it would be the perfect addition. But that's me.

How about ya just release the original version for free for all platforms. 😉

I would respectfully suggest that game news outlets stop giving these whoppers airtime.

Only ever bought 2 standard edition games from them. Quake 2 and tomb raider remaster. Both arrived, both worked, everything about the boxes, printed media and disk seemed absolutely fine. And I was content with the pricing and have no issue with the wait time as I've too many games to play as is and I've struggled to find time to game at the minute anyway. all I can say is I've been satisfied with the service, but all this feedback from others certainly tempers my opinion of them.

demotivated them?

Imma gonna say wild guess.... toxic fans.

CHONKY BOI
Reminds me of my first laptop from TIME. It still works, it was great despite the slating TIME and TINY both get and it got me through uni. It even has the worlds only functioning copy of Windows ME

for me some games are now the equiviliant of a warm pair of slippers and a cosy jumper. Sometimes ill just fire up E1M1 for a bit of comfort.

Didn't care for the n97. Now the N95? That was my last ever nokia before i finally jumped ship from symbian to android.The damn thing was a beast. What i would consider to be my first true smart phone. I dropped it down the stairs once and while it did survive it also sorta blew apart. no worries though all more or less went back together and sourced a new screen off ebay and all fixed. Ha no chance of doing that with all the android phones i've had.

Game Bub?

Admit it you heard that in your head as if Logan/Wolverine was saying it

imagine wasting your finite amount of life and energy on being a knobhead.... I've barely got enough time or energy to play games these days. nevermind get angry at such a thing. Just ridiculous.

I'd dare say the playstation managed ok with the shoot-em ups it had. But always a fascinating what could have been from one of gamings greatest betrayals. I can't wait for the movie tbh/

yes but can it play doom?

I'll be that guy then.... I don't see why this couldn't have just been done as an all in one unit. Yeah i know some people just want all digital etc etc etc.

Atari 50 was fantastic. Really enjoyed it.
Corporate babble like this makes me nervous though.

It amazes me what people can do now with older hardware. Imagine this coming out back in the day. People would have been blown away.

Doom all the things.
If you cannot run doom you are not a thing.
PDF's are now a thing.
Because DOOM.

"There's always a bigger fish"

I'm going to be a little critical of this.
1) I'm not keen on the styling. This is a personal thing of course. But it's too close to the PS One. Not the original boxy ps1. But I can see why the decision was made to sort of blend the two together.
2) not having a drive for disks as part of the main design is a big negative to me. Yes I realise that would push up production etc but wouldn't it be nice to just have it all in one rather than having to tack on extra gubbins?

I could have lived with point 1 but not 2. Though I wonder would the drive allow you to play PS2 disks? Is that how mrfpga works? Otherwise it would be cool to see a PS2 design by taki

Absolutely gutted by this. I hope some things can be restore. bad times for resilliance in game preservation. LGR's private collection got hit by a hurricane. Fire's in arcades in Japan. Not good.

And you can just bet given the insurance industry in the UK they will do what they can to weasel out of paying out. Regardless of that ive sent a few quid via the donation page.

As a native of the west riding it always made me immensely proud that just up the road there was a games studio making some quality titles. I only recently started to follow Martyn on Facebook after stumbling across him. Probably via a time extension article. It was to follow his home arcade antics. I never realised until now he had fallen under ill health and that might have reflected in some of his Facebook posts, I just never realised. A legacy that will hopefully live on if we strive to preserve and keep playing and remember.

There's probably a Ferengi rule of acquisition that covers this. I'll merely say.

Quelle suprise

Man who's job it is to make money doesn't want peoples money. lol.

I think people should seriously consider pulling their money from this if they have not already done so.

No medieval
No colony wars
This list is invalid.
;⁠)

Nintendo slapping a cease and desist on them shortly no doubt.....

Better frame rate than the SNES version. HAHAHA. Well as true as that is it was still the only way some people could experience doom up to a point. Me being one of those people. And i still have a soft spot for it. DOOM on things will always be a thing.

Because you are not a thing unless you can run doom. doom all the things. because DOOM.

God I loved playing these on the OPSM disk. Total soccer was the king for me though, yeah it was a SENSI clone but so what.

From the number of channels i follow on tubeYou this doesn't surprise me. Everyone eventually seems to get flagged for some non issue at some point. And there seems to be specific business setup to try to rinse people for copywright claims on music etc that is actually fair use. Madness.

My avatar should be a big give away on this one but i do have a copy in waiting for xmas. Looking forward to fawning over it.

@slider1983 with respect to our london residents It's better things like this are spread around the UK. Having one VG museum in sheffield is nice and the museum of computing in swindon is nice.

I'd rather be wrong on this for all the people who invested in it. BUT something tells me this is going to end in tears. I'd be seriously concerned about this now.

This looks SICK! I remember Auto Modelista fondly, shame the western version was butchered. Hope these guys can do a console port eventually.

Net Yaroze ahhhh. I fondly remember those from the OPSM demo discs....

TOTAL SOCCER.....
drops mic

I only found out about this last minute and too late to change my plans I wish there was a centralised location a lot of these events and retro fairs are highlighted at? Am I just missing them? Or maybe TE could collect em together for the next 12 months?
Help an old gamer out bro.....

Another way to play the GOAT which is TIE Fighter?
Hook it to my veins.....

Lol nope considering how these retro handhelds are churned out now I would rather spend money like that on something else.

You guys need to seek help over the DE9 obsession. 😉

You know the drill people.
It can play doom.
so it is officially a thing.

@Spider-Kev Amusingly its what a lot of people called the original playstation. IE the ps1. I can't remember why, then they made an actual psx just to confuse people more lol.

I'm curious as to what the issue is with the hard drive replacement? Surely its just a standard IDE drive?

This was one of those games i saw in the arcades of Bridlington and Blackpool growing up that always looked wild. My little brain couldn't believe this was a game MJ made (not directly). I never played it as it didn't make sense haha. Reminds me of watching moonwalker when it premiered on terrestrial tv and i had NO IDEA what was going on lol.

The Ossett legends. Yeah be careful if you say Wakefield. We get very parochial in Yorkshire. Folk in Ossett will quickly correct you (and rightly so 😉).

Worms was one of the first games I had on my ps1. Myself and pals played it to absolute death. Another friend had it on his Amiga too. I got worms 2 on release for my pc and loved it. We even ran it on our high school network less than 10 miles away from Team17 hq. 😂 Loved the series. And own a classic T17 logo t-shirt that hangs proudly in my wardrobe next to a Pysgnosis one.

@Pally356 JRD as the atreides mentat chefs kiss

@Azuris it did make it all the more poignant I felt.

Raul Julia.
Nuff said.

I do not remember this at all! It didn't get mentioned in my computing circle of friends. And i never saw one in my pokey corner of west yorkshire growing up. Looking forward to reading about it though and gutted for the community and Bruce's family and friends.

@Blast16 totally forgot 32x had one too. That did irk me back in the console warz days haha. Not one bit now. Glad mega drive owners got to have some fun too. And lets be fair getting it to even run on either platform? chefs kiss

It's not as epic as the 3DO port like haha.

I'm sorry was Raul Julia and a coked up Van damm not enough first time around?

Ah man such conflicting feelings on the snes port. when it came out the only real exposure i had to doom was doom 2 on a neighbours computer. They didn't even have a soundcard. BFG sounded hilarious. Anyway eventually i found out it was coming to snes and leapt at getting it. Surely the mighty super FX chip can deliver? Well sorta. I see those limitations more now these days but my teenage eyes didn't so much. I enjoyed it but the lack of cheats and bad controls made it a hard to love version. In the end a playstation came along with its excellent port and then the pc. Funny enough this is why i also seem to have DOOM on EVERYTHING.

@KitsuneNight Literally came here to say this. Uncle D is gonna loose his mind.
