@scottishwildcat 100% but I’m guessing cancellation rate right now is huge so they thought this would guarantee more people attend and not pull out last min. I am guessing just my feeling. Maybe they didn’t think they could have an audience and suddenly decided it was safe. Who knows… I just have a feeling it’ll be covid related
@FragRed a bit embarrassing…. Did you even watch the original? John Fashanu, Annabel Croft,Eric Bristow, Jimmy White, Archer MacLean and Ashley Paske,Kendo Nagasaki, Pat Cash and Emily Cash, Barry McGuigan, Emlyn Hughes, Tony Slattery, Frank Bruno, Vinnie Jones and Nick Pickard,Rory Underwood, Take That, Jim Duggan, Shadow and Jet from Gladiators, Kristian Schmid, John Parrott, Richard Norton, Johnny Herbert, Todd Carty, Bob Holness, Linford Christie and Colin Jackson, Cathy Dennis, Vic Reeves, Gordon Burns, East 17,Josie Lawrence,Tony Daley were just a few of the celebs that appeared…. Was I watching the wrong show? The games master himself was a knight of the realm!!
You clearly didn’t know the source material not me.
Also for the inclusion of “real gamers” back then it was before YouTube and twitch
Seriously people are asking for “real gamers” if you want that watch twitch or YouTube. On TV they will want some people the main stream have heard of. Stop gatekeeping gaming by suggesting only people you decide are “proper gamers”
I love the gamecube and it’s one of the most underrated consoles of all time with some amazing exclusives. I have a hefty game collection and have two GCs - tempted to buy one of this and upgrade one and back up all my games - I pretty much own every game I would want on it but the appeal to boot and play without finding discs appeals
@malcire you really need me to list things That go on in the world that might be Slightly worse than using 20 year old ROMs of games you’ve already bought????
I love the fierce spirit that people want to defended the game industry from illegal ROMs. I hope they fight the real injustices and crimes with the same passion......
No I thought not.
Morale pomposity at its finest.
I’ve bought some games 15 times many times the route to get access taken away. That’s fine though right??? As long as I don’t get a rom Of a game I’ve spent over £200 in the past that would be morale corrupt of me.
The privilege that some of you have is shocking that this is something you feel strongly about.
I can post some topics that will blow your mind if you think using a 30 year old non commercial available ROMs is bad.... you’ll need a seat and a drink coz some of this stuff is like really bad..
What’s the largest sum of money people have lost on crowd funding?
I’m amazed it’s a thing.
If like someone else said - it’s for a completed thing and it’s just to simply pay for production all good.
Otherwise your just paying someone to muck about and see if anything sticks.
I believe if you have an idea and want to get it to market you have to invest yourself (and not just your time) and make the project viable first - if you don’t you just won’t have the same passion to see it through.
I love the idea of things like this but am so turned off by kickstarter and crowd funded stuff it will always put me off... to many fail and don't deliver and the money is gone.
Its a shame because in principle I have no issue paying upfront for a game. just make sure I get what I pay for.

Re: Making Diddy Kong Racing Changed My Life
I’ve played it in the last week and regularly still play it. Superb game.
A stone cold classic.
Re: Blaze Managing Director Issues End Of Year Statement Reflecting On All Things Evercade
Waiting for my stolen unit. No rush. I ordered it before I ordered the steam deck and that’s keeping me entertained.
Look forward to seeing what carts they announce.
I will continue to support them.
Re: Evercade EXP - Superior In Every Way That Matters
My one was stolen. Now have a wait. Sounds good when it finally shows up
Re: Evercade EXP Shipment Worth Half A Million Pounds Has Been Stolen
@AstraeaV no, we paid and all the units got stolen. They have to be remade and whilst they are doing that they are doing a name thing for the credits.
Any units not stolen will be shipped
Re: Evercade EXP Shipment Worth Half A Million Pounds Has Been Stolen
I’m one of those that had their unit stolen. Gutted but feel worse for blaze. Look forward to getting it when they can get sorted.
Re: Trademark For Intellivision Amico Has Been Abandoned
Was this a crowdfunder? Someone catch me up? Are loads of people out of pocket?

Re: Channel 4's GamesMaster Reboot Has Found Its Presenter
@FragRed you think this guy is a celebrity?!?
I’d argue most people have never heard of him. They went just about as left field as you can go.

“Let pretty girls be pretty girls and clever girls be clever”
Yeah coz pretty girls can’t be clever. What a caveman.
Put this freak back In his cave.
Never played the game but went for the secret tunnel..
Sour grapes
Re: Exclusive: Polymega Creator Playmaji On FPGA, Sega Saturn And Dealing With 'Healthy' Scepticism
In this day and age of digital cameras and ability to upload footage they could easily prove it works like they claim.
The fact they have uploaded fake footage and refuse to actually prove anything at this stage is a farce.
Re: Hardware Review: Does The SNK Neo Geo Mini Outclass Nintendo's Classic Editions?
@Shufty I was being hopeful for sure. Just not sure I’ll bite at £150
Re: Hardware Review: Does The SNK Neo Geo Mini Outclass Nintendo's Classic Editions?
If its £100 or less I am Buying it day one.
Extra controller needs to be £10 or less.
