Re: Does Your SNES Have A Ticking Time Bomb Inside?

Never had any problems with any of my cartridge based retro consoles. My old Atari 2600 and Vectrex, works just as well today, as when I got them 40 years ago.

I also got a Mega SG and Super NT last year, even though I still have working original hardware, and a CRT. The more alternative, to keep playing these carts, the better.

This is why I'm also glad that emulation/FPGA exists.
It might be the only way too play these games, in the future.

Though I hope that someone will create parts for the SNES, in the future.
As we got plenty of modern replacement parts, for retro computers now (for the C64, Amiga etc.), these things will hopefully continue to be resurrected.

Re: Best Nintendo 3DS Games Of All Time

I hope that they re-release Kid Icarus Uprising, and A Link Between Worlds, on modern systems, so it won't be locked away forever, on the 3DS.

Especially Uprising, deserves to be played on a big screen, since it has some really epic moments in there. And it would play so much better, with dual analogue sticks.

It's too bad, that we probably wont get another Kid Icarus game...

Re: Review: Analogue Duo - The Best Way To Enjoy The Entire PC Engine / TG16 Library

I used to collect for PC Engine, back in 2011-2012. Back then the prices was still okey. But now they have become so damn expensive, I feel the pain of anyone starting to collect for the system today. Especially the Shmups.
If I still had my collection, I would probably buy this. But I'll just stick with playing the games on my Analogue Pocket.

Hopefully the bubble will burst soon, so the prices comes down again.

Alien Breed and Qwak is fun. But the rest is either mediocre or trash. The problem with Amiga games is, that a lot of them had amazing graphics and sound, for the time, but the controls, framerate and gameplay sucked. I actually played more C64, at the time, as a lot of those games had more fun gameplay. They couldn't rely on fancy graphics, to hide terrible gameplay.
