Wonder why they never give Superfrog any love any more... used to be that you could get both the MS-DOS port and a 'modern' remake on Steam, but they both got taken down a few years back... strange.
Have the NES, SNES, Mega Drive and Amiga mini consoles, and love them all (I don't have a problem with the Amiga Mini controller in all honesty).
I think that's probably me done... unless they bring out a Master System Mini, which as a Brit I would LOVE, but doubt that the economics would work out, as it was such a flop in the US and Japan.
I really like Antstream, but I always wonder how they’re making money, and worry that it can’t be sustainable. At first they were charging £10 per month - massively overpriced, which presumably no-one was subscribing at, then they pivoted to their current freemium model which was supposedly ad-supported, but the only adverts I ever saw were ones from Antstream themselves!
Now their new plan looks more sensible / sustainable. But it’s another big change - I hope it works out for them this time.
"In 1992... the Master System would have been considered somewhat antiquated in comparison, even then."
How very dare you! I was bought my Master System II in 1992 (bundled with Alex Kidd built in and Sonic on cartridge). But yes, definitely the cheapo system for folks who couldn't afford a Mega Drive...
It's crazy - there's the same gap between the Xbox 360 and now as there was between the ZX Spectrum / C64 and the Dreamcast. Crazy when you think about it like that
