The RG ARC was my first foray with these Chinese handhelds since the original GPD XD so long ago, but I have too many little complaints about it when I thought I’d be thrilled with it. I probably wouldn’t go with Anbernic again in the near term

I’ll stick to the Saturn core in RA app for the HDR compatibility

This generation we’ve never had so many emulation products, and I’ve never before seen so much bad emulation, even from companies that had emulated their same software in the past. I’ve also seen a good number of people that don’t have a sensitivity to bad emulation. So the bar has no trouble staying low I think for delivering software emulation in the broader market

Maybe a crappy 80’s TV, but the crappy 13” 1990’s TV’s I had (and still have in use) aren’t nearly that bad

lol, now I’m watching Glenn Gould videos again..

If it works as advertised I’d be very interested because the focus on the true-to-feel GBC experience sounds awesome

The color does well for the stage layouts

That’s quite the mashup.. CPS1 Willow and just everything that wasn’t nailed down lol. Looks cool

Welp, there’s your problem: the first word of this piece..

I’m a fan of Jewel Master. Will definitely try out the changes. Nice to get these spit shines for these old games

Good but never great Jaleco, as I always say..

@Azuris along the lines of what I mentioned above, another solution would be to have all characters done in the traditional hand drawn pixels in the style of SMW to give it consistency

@Bonggon5 don’t know if you’ve seen cartoon movies from earlier 20th century, but they would have 3D scrolling backgrounds with flat colored character cels overlayed. This reminds me of that in a way

Can’t go wrong with the Conan Barbarian genre.

That’s pretty cool. Waiting for the next sale on the Ufouria remake to give that a whirl

It would be nice to have a source for true-to-feel controller components for 80’s and 90’s pads

Still looking like a feast for the senses

Games aren’t meant for playing, they’re meant for individual sale for a set time, with sales ceasing maybe forever, or maybe until your nostalgia fulfils the metrics of a marketing campaign, but not a minute before then!

Eagerly awaiting episode blue, hopefully coming up soon. The OC project looks like an interesting recycle of the Sequel Wars development

I guess the retro bit controllers were an exception?

Crazy. Remember renting this back in its day

That’s a cool mashup of styles. Nice pick, Hamster

It’s the same tree.

In theory these would be great books to have. Very neat way to rally around a classic genre even if gaming and books don’t exactly pair in my brain. I think a magazine format would be a better fit for me

The genre style and period being imitated is right up my alley. I’ll have to look into the games from this dev

Games from outer space, like the rays of the sun to your SNES. Just heavenly.

Theyre calling him cool and he has all these friends.. I think they’re ignoring some facts about skunks here. Nobody’s buying into the idea that skunks are cool and popular..

@sdelfin wolf fang I’d had experience with through the PSP and it’s a great one, but Skull Fang I’d not heard of. I looked at both and it looks like the Saturn version is fairly downgraded from the arcade art. Wolf fang is probably more intact on Saturn but I’ll have to check it out next

There was also a for-mobile reimagined version of Jackal called Jackal Squad, but I’ve not played that

I hope more of these overhead run (or drive) & gun games come through hamster’s wheelhouse. Desert Assault, Gundhara..

@Honkshot that’s awesome

@Sketcz I had a look at that game. May have to try that one out, looks great

Retro racers don’t often hit for me but this looks maybe promising

Take me back, Yuzo.. back to the 1990’s

@Sketcz I love the 8-bit shmups on NES, GB, Game Gear, SMS. So any system can have a good shooting game within its limitations. The SNES wasn’t much of a breeding ground for shmup development so it takes on that comparison with Genesis. Clearly it very well could have had its it’s own flavor of shoot ‘em up

Takes on stuff like this can be wildly inconsistent. Someone can make an unlicensed and unsanctioned fan game and owe the original authority nothing for it, and then further, when it gets negative attention from that authority people get upset it can’t exist. This developer follows the business rules for making a product, but now there’s a take on it that their own vision isn’t sufficient and they owe the original creator some level of input. Some double standards out there it sounds like to me

Love that variant of the PCE. Hadn’t seen that model before. Cute.

Like if Burning Rangers got a PSP update.. very cool

Konami… renewing something?! Don’t get me started, Konami. Got a lot of back-catalogue just sitting there..

Really like the look of this project.

There was a cool looking game for mobile in development, ‘Shining Force Heroes of Light and Darkness’, that got canceled not long ago. The series doesn’t catch many breaks. They should keep the old art style going and give their fans a true Sega gaming classic with a new sequel

May the Genesis live on forever. May my Genesis live on forever 🤞 lol

@PKDuckman good suggestion! It be pretty cool to see Astyanax for NES get a rerelease that’s for sure

Thinking of bare-chested hack n slash games, I wish the PC Engine library would reemerge and we’d get gems like the Legendary Axe. Surely there’s enough interest among involved parties in Japan where it was a hit console

I have a little 8” CRT, but I’d love a tube in this form factor

I have the original MD Everdrive. I’ve been humming about upgrading to the newest version with more bells and whistles

Nobody makes a Sega game like a Sega fan. 30 years ago that would have made zero sense to anybody, now it’s becoming more of a fact than ever

@amongtheworms strikes again! lol

Caught wind of this on from Sega Lord but wasn’t clear on the details.

Yeah, that logo sure left its mark like no other. Seeing it was like the archway to an imaginative world. Still is, sure. Good for that designer even though it was perhaps the least of his impacts within his sphere.
