@Deuteros The Sonic CD PC port isn't that obscure as you think it is. In fact, the Sonic Gems Collection is based on that version of the game.

Need I remind you the last time Google tried to use AI for video game "history"? It made the Sonic Twitter account baffled.

@LP09 Considering that they used Titan as the name for a Saturn based Arcade, I could see that.

@MysticX Legally speaking, they are in the clear if they release it as a patch. This has been the case for the other DX releases like with Mario Land 1 and 2.

@Andee Looking in the recent beta, there's an unused audio clip that has the Mario Brothers sounding more like they were in the DiC cartoon (Adventures of Mario 3). So I can guess that Animation Magic (The studio that made the "cutscenes") took more inspiration from those than the actual games. (It would also explain why so many YTPs mash the two together and they actually work well)

The fact that someone is doing a remake of Cluster's Revenge and not say, Beat'em and Eat'em, says a lot about a person. I'm all for smut games (even if it squicks me) but @PZT 's comment about the developer's past works... Yuck.

@Guru_Larry Not surprised, considering how terrible AtGames' consoles were.

Ok, WHY do you need an actual 32X to play 32X games when it's on an FPGA? Like, there's another company in Brazil making a Sega Neptune FPGA without needing the add-on, why can't these folks do it too?

I think another reason why bad games like this disaster gets fan translations is well... It can't get any worse. By that I mean, there's little if any pressure that you might "screw up" the translation as the original text/story is already borked as it is.

Though @SnowyAria will you ever make a version of the game that fixes some of the bugs/audio issues or is that a no go?

How come no one has made an FPGA Sega/Mega CD? As in, one that can either take actual disks or ISOs.

But will the Pool close because of Stingrays?

Correction for the article. IBM never made a Model M computer. The Model M is the keyboard.

Like I said in NintendoLife, I wouldn't be surprised if they paid extra NOT to buy the Amico mess. (To put it lightly.)

Once again, Disney does NOT get Video Games. Perhaps its a good thing though.

I wonder if it has the Mega/Sega CD expansion port.

@Boopero sigh If only... If only...

My personal take on the 32X has two different scenarios.

Scenario A is just to have it never come out.

Scenario B is a bit more interesting. I would basically boost the power of the 32X to make it nearly or even completely make it into a Sega Saturn. That would make the Tower of Power much more appealing deal. Also consider that if the 32X and Saturn are more closely related that means it could also be backwards compatible with the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. (Though not Master System since there's no Z80) Could be a massive marketing tactic against both the PlayStation 1 and the N64.

Not to start a flame war, but why does the Amiga have an active fanbase and the Atari ST doesn't?

I don't know what surprises me more. People caring about bitcoin in 2024 or that the people making this device aren't slapping stuff about "AI" in the advertising.

@Sketcz Doesn't the CD-i get stuck in a boot loop with a dead battery?

So... Nothing changed then?

Bet you it's cheaper to buy the gun than the game.

Welp. Looks like the first trailer is going to the decider if this will be good or bad.

Kind of a dumb idea not to do it at first. Someone was going to dump the ROM anyways.

The Gods are pleased with this offering.

@obijuankanoobie It's sort of a display item of sorts. Also, since it is quarter scale, it's a perfect fit for posing action figures and the like with it.

@Spider-Kev Considering it uses a mouse, I assume so.

@ROBLOGNICK Nintendo doesn't usually go after ROM hacks, if it doesn't include the ROM of the game in question. It's a case of "This is a patch, so find your own ROM wink wink"

@DestructoDisk Sounds a lot like how the Sega/Mega CD worked with the Genesis/Mega Drive

laughs in American Genesis

@Hydra_Spectre It was a problem. Now it is a problem.

@ArcadianLegend99 In his defense, he probably doesn't know how to dump something like this. Yes, he could use something like Imgburn to make an iso, but that's more for emulators and making ahem legal backup copies. Also, this is a CD-I disk, not a CD-ROM. While the formats are similar, they aren't the exact same thing and it's very likely that most CD and DVD computer drives can't read from CD-i disks.

It's less of a "I'm not dumping it until I'm popular." and more of a "Um, could you tell people about me so that someone with the know-how could help me get this archived?"

Also, a correction to the article. The audio tutorial is in the final game, but it's unused.

My god. This just opened up a new gold ore vain for YouTube Poops.

What a time to be alive.

Does that mean they plan to have Red from Angry Birds as a playable character someday?

@KingMike Unlike Sonic 2, it wasn't.

Willy Wombat? Wasn't that one of Crash Bandicoot's working names?

Is MyArcade owned by AtGames? If so, that would explain the Ms. Pac-Man stuff.

@calbeau Unlikely as the PS1's CD Drive is only 2X speed. A PS2's Disk drive would be some concerns as that can do up to 24X speed.

@Poodlestargenerica I mean, Pac-Man is a fusion of Baku and Puck, so no big surprise. (Yes, I know about the Puck-Man thing, but I doubt it was Midway who came up with the name of Pac-Man.)

I only wish that Sony could get that stick up their arse and allow Lemmings to be re-released.

The gods are pleased with this offering.

I kind of hope they can strike a deal with Phil and get some of Activision's early games re-released. A 2600 without Activision is like an NES without Capcom or a PS1 without Squaresoft.

Hopefully whomever bought it isn't a stick in the mud and allows it to be dumped and archived.

@Coolmusic Actually, Sam and Max debuted in 1987, so it's more like 36 years.

With over 100 engineers at it's peak, Coleco never saw that tape zapper of a printer would be an issue until it's release? I do wonder if the problems were fixed before hand. Considering how the SG-1000 and the ColecoVision are nearly the same system, and how the Sega Mark III (Master System) was able to play SG-1000 games; could the Master System had a chance to be more successful in North America if it had backwards compatibly with the ColecoVision?

To be fair, a dog would be faster than R.O.B.

Yea, you could tell that the other codenames were made by boring suits rather than actual humans.

@MysticX For the most part, yes. Keep in mind that the US was the birth place for video games as a whole. Ralph Baer, Allan Alcorn, Nolan Bushnell, Ted Dabney, are/were all Americans. It possible if the sparks didn't reach Japan and Europe, video games as a whole would still be a side part of the computer industry rather than a medium of it's own.

While I think calling it a "crash" is an overstatement, I do think it was for the better as it avoided video games from becoming like movies where Hollywood is THE center of the industry and being completely dominated by a single country.

I don't think the industry would of COMPLETELY disappeared like the history said it avoided, but I do think that wouldn't be the cultural juggernaut it is today for better and worse.

@MysticX I think one of the reasons why this happened is that RAM was expensive, slow, and low in size (CDs could hold 650 MB at a time when most computers had only a small percentage of that in RAM and Hard Drive space).

I think the ColecoVision confusion is because of the existence of the Dina 2 in One. A weird Taiwanese console that could play both ColecoVision and SG-1000 games. The craziest thing is that it was sold in the US, despite the SG-1000 never launching there!

God I wish that Microsoft would allow Activision to re-release their 2600 games again. A 2600 without Activision is like an NES without Capcom or a PS1 without Squaresoft.
