Still waiting for a Futari port to anything .......

@slider1983
And instead did......
Nothing. At all.

@slider1983
And you wonder why people think it's a cult.

@slider1983
'The eventual console'.
Really? Are we still doing this?
How's the controller for Amico Home coming along? 🤣

@slider1983

A) The Inty Flashback is expensive to get hold of these days, with some poorly emulated aspects.

B) And? They've already made better use of the brand than the previous owners ever did.

£99.99, I'm in. Still got my original hooked up to the CRT, but the power socket is getting a little loose.

@slider1983

Nah, not everyone. I was, for one. But some of them the AtariAge threads..... wow.

@rob7979

I had no idea they existed. Wild. TecToy?

'Haters', how old is this individual?
Interesting curio I guess, but an expensive way to play..... Farkle? Was it finished?
Enjoy! 🤣

It's.... alright. Not something I'd spend money on again.

@MartinPiper

Bravo man, absolutely jaw dropping!

That's actually insane!

That's pretty incredible, nice work.

Yeah, if the price is right I'll pick this up. I still throw the Speccy version every now and again, got the sheer 'how the hell did they DO this?' aspect, I suspect these will be similar.

'improved physics'.....
Like the All-Stars version? No thanks.

This is why I sold the lot tbh. They're made in such limited numbers that tracking down stuff you might have missed was just going to get silly.

Thought the first one was decent, gamers are weird at times. The original still exists......

I'm assumed that people seem annoyed by this. Muskrat is a parasite, and if you think otherwise, you're probably not really someone I'd ever like to converse with.

I keep looking at things like this and getting the urge to buy. Then I remember my phone is probably just as powerful (Honor Magic 7 Pro), I have a perfectly good mobile controller, and I still barely bother with portable emulation......

@Edd-O

I bought it on double vinyl a while back - fantastic package.

I've got it on my hard drive and have never fired it up!

It drags on a bit though. The first six stages are almost devoid of challenge.

I'll probably give it a whirl at that price. Some crap on there, but I did like Mutant Monty and wasn't aware of the sequel.

I mean, decent collection, but these games have been so widely available for so many years it just seems pointless.

All the winning!

Really enjoyed this. Never played the sequel, still have it to visit in the pile of Shame.

Anyone else have trouble with the Antstream app? Crashes constantly for me. I've cleared the cache, and reinstalled, ever time I get to play one game, then it simply hangs for any subsequent launch.

Ermmmm cough I love Technos, and single-screen games, so......

@sbeng135

It's pretty crap as BB games go though. The visuals are awful, and it throws out half of the stuff Symphony introduced. A weird entry.

@Santar
Early City Connection ports were trash, but Batsugun was actually damn good, more than playable on Switch, so fingers crossed.

I'm not overly hyped for the new one, but I'll pick it up for Symphony, unless there's a proper ACA version before then.

That's incredible, amazing work!

@pomegran

You're kidding? £300 - £350 going by their past full size releases.

I'd pick one up if it just included a true low Res output for connection to a CRT.

@AlleyCat

But has busted controls on some games.

Anyways, after last week's Toaplan comps, I'm good for vert scrollers.

@X68000

I found Batsugun perfectly playable. Just bought the Toaplan comps, but the SA port has that banging remix soundtrack so it might still get some use.

Probably the only Amiga shooter worth a remaster - I'm in.

Played the remaster through last year - fantastic game with great level design.

God, no thanks. Awful game.

The Toaplan comps also have a standard physical release on Switch and PS5, just ordered both Switch collections.

@OutRun22

But there's the A1200 maxi coming for that......

All speculation anyway I guess, all they have at the moment is a trademark, and that turned out really well for Intellivision and Coleco.

Oh dear oh dear.

@Eddietorresjrnyc

This. There's already an Amiga mini, and the full-size A1200 - if it materialises - surely anything further will just be rebadged miscellaneous tat?

Atari have carved out a nice little niche but as we've seen from Coleco, Intellivision and others, stuff like this invariably ends in disaster.

Trying to replay the original on last year's Switch compilation was.... interesting.

Oh, this is nice......

@SaltUrPasta
Some of those look great, but at that point I dunno why there aren't PC versions as well - they're not really 'Speccy' games as such, really. I love anything with Speccy style visuals, they're timeless to me.

Are they actually any good these days? Never played them at the time

Want, but can't justify the cost when all these machines are now so easily emulated, and I have the minis for Spec/C64. It IS a gorgeous piece of kit though.....

@BausRifle no, false equivalence. RD would kill you - outright - for not remembering exactly where every hazard is. You couldn't deviate from it one little bit, or apply knowledge from previous screens to the next.
Example: early on, there's a switch that causes a suspended block to fly across the screen, killing you instantly. A few screens later - same switch and block. 'Aha', you think, 'i learned about this a few screens back'. You press the switch. The suspended block doesn't move, and instead a completely unmarked one flies from the wall behind you and kills you.
Metroid and Zelda are obscure these days sure, but not in that way. RD is a puzzle with ONLY one answer, and the only way to figure it out is to die, there's no logic, rhyme, or reason to it.
