What they call a "fun YouTube channel" is a business at heart.

He got the money to buy Commodore from his YouTube videos. Those videos contain Generative AI.

Let's not be giving free passes here.

@JackGYarwood The Amiga port of Desert Strike was the best, but we seldom see Amiga ports in retro collections.

A small reminder that the MiSTer has a ZX Spectrum Next core, so if you don't get one of these you can still just get a MiSTer and use that instead.

@Sketcz There's always flash carts too.

And this is why nobody should touch crowdfunding with a bargepole.

I don't have the money to be pre-ordering games which might never be released, because that's all crowdfunding is. Yes, it has hit it's target, cool, I might buy it if/when it is released then.

@nocdaes It was open yesterday. And the day before. And the day before that. And also the day before that too. And it will be open again on Thursday.

Weird that.

@nocdaes I've literally never heard of Hollywood Bowl before today. Having just looked them up, they look *****, like the ticket arcades which make up the main roads on seaside resorts. The fact is that Arcade Club is very obviously profitable at multiple venues (unlike the place in this article, sadly), so they have no issue, other than the ones you're inventing.

Miss me with the "leaving money on the table" garbage, we see that from the idiots in modern day gaming all the time. If Arcade Club charged per play then they would become unprofitable overnight, as the appeal of the Arcade Club venues is the combination of one-price-on-the-door-free-play, the sheer amount of choice in games available, and with the range of games offered being from brand new stuff to all of the retro classics.

"an entire day playing arcades is not a big market!", said the clown who has never stepped foot inside Arcade Club.

@nocdaes That's a complete and utter joke.

Arcade Club in Bury is easily the single most successful arcade in the UK, and that is £18 in and free games all day. They've been so successful with that pricing model that they have opened another two venues in Leeds and Blackpool.

So yeah, no.

That's ***** silly of them. Would have made far more sense to do the PS4 release instead of PS5, considering all PS5s are backwards compatible with PS4 titles.

@Pnutttz Who owned the rights in the end?

@GeneJacket Weird claim, Sony never made any "promise" of playing PSP titles on the device, and it did play PS1 titles (hence Crash Bandicoot being available on any Xperia Play device having run a standard install).

Honestly the form factor looks ***** in comparison to the PSP Go and Xperia Play.

And without standard mobile phone functionality is a hard pass.

It's nice for the people who were ***** stupid and would not store their Wavebird adaptors with the controllers and lose them.

I think I would personally prefer a Bluetooth adapter for the new wireless GameCube controllers Nintendo are releasing, that way I can use a wireless controller and have rumble support, a win/win.

Which role were you auditioning for? Hurley or Gervais?

@vicviper001 In a word, yes, if you use the widely-available UpdateAll script which downloads everything you need to get started and all of the arcade ROMs it supports. Just add your own games into the appropriate folders, define your controls, and off you go.

I ditched my Pis for the same reason, and although my experience with the Pis helped for setting up a MiSTer, once it was set up I've had no issues whatsoever as long as I periodically run the aforementioned UpdateAll script which grabs any new cores or core updates released.

Trust a YouTube video to make up things which were not true in reality.

Fact check time.

1. The series was not taken off-air midway through its run. It was originally two series one shown in 1994 and the other in 1995. That was always the plan.

2. The second series was not placed at 9:25am, at least not in the Granada region where it was shown at the usual Sunday evening slot.

Additional things the YouTuber missed because they've probably only seen what was uploaded to YouTube:

1. The champions of both seasons returned for one final champion of champions episode.

2. In that episode, Android was moving around the complex giving the mission briefings after the command centre they usually occupied was attacked.

"Back in February, Dearth tried to crowdfund the project's development on Kickstarter but unfortunately failed to raise half of his £3990 goal. Despite that, he's continued working on the game ever since"

Because it wasn't about crowdfunding, it was about taking pre-orders for a game which may never be delivered.

If it were actual crowdfunding then development wouldn't have continued despite missing their fundraising goal.
