@slider1983 Promising multiple things and not delivering any of them it a literal definition of LYING. Cheesus wept.
Why shouldn't investors ask where the money went?
Blaze, Playdate and numerous others didn't 'hype up' hand-made Android boxes in a plastic shell.
'Gaming racists' might be the stupidest comment he ever made - and that's saying something.
Tommy follows right wingers and is a deeply unpleasant habitual liar, who has also taken credit for other people's work. Miyamoto would take one look at him and go 'who'? Also his Dali Lama story...🤣🤣🤣🤣
CUP is mildly entertaining every now and again, but they nailed this from day 1.
Nice machine, but I just sold on my Luxury Edition as they've mostly been ported to Switch - with Hamster starting on Namco's early 3D stuff, F3 will probably be in the pipeline this year.
Seems mad that if Sega can't be bothered to keep the Ages line alive, that they don't just let Hamster at them. Still awaiting a proper OutRunners port, and Turbo is stuck on my 3DS.
@carlos82
Wasting your time... He's part of that weird cult they have, like the DJC guy that pounds beers for donations and dresses in a fox outfit to 'promote' Amico. When he's not making videos about how Amico Home could help him pick up girls in a bar. No help needed there at all.....
@slider1983 They have NO way of giving people what they paid for. Simple question. The Amico releases combined might, generously, have sold 1,000 copies. COMBINED. And they're still telling people that'll fund a console? And YOU are still defending it?
@carlos82 Pretty much, yes. Unless anyone here believes that selling between 50-100 copies each of this utter garbage is going to finance a console that they've already wasted millions on......
@slider1983 At least a god 50 of every title released so far 🤣
It was a scam the minute TT promised investors he could have a console developed and on sale in two years. It was a scam when they launched second, and third, rounds of crowdfunding, knowing full well it wasn't gonna happen. It was a scam when they flat out LIED about having tens of thousands of pre orders. They are still scamming, because dragging the corpse keeps legal action from investors at bay.
That anyone can still defend this is an absolute, total, utter joke.
The Loaded games did not age well. They're ugly, and there are many, many better top-down shooters available - such as Out Zone and FixEight on the Toaplan carts. Buggy was crap 30 years ago. The whole Evercade thing started well, but, arcade carts aside, it's lost all traction for me. These Giga carts in particular, are poor.
Still my GOAT, and gets plenty of play between 3DS and Switch. I can hit the final stages pretty regularly but traffic plays a big part in whether I finish or not.
I'm a massive Inty fan, and was initially on board. But seriously, a week on AtariAge and I knew it was just another retro scam. That still continues.
And Tallarico himself may be the most narcissistic liar ever. You sent his interview as a backgammon 'world champion' also printed in a magazine that lasted two whole issues? Waste of skin. Used his dead sister and dad to self promote.
@drypaphmrbro Tommy Tallarico, responsible for the Intellivision Amico scam that is still shuffling along in a near death state, while putting out garbage like Evil Kenevil and Cornhole on the eShop at 14.99 a throw.
I slept on these originally, but was given a pretty knackered 3DS, which led to me being impressed enough to pick up a 3DS XL (free, thanks yo Yodel's incompetence), and after a bit of hackery, I think it's possibly my favourite handheld ever. The Sega classics in 3D alone are worth the cost of a system, Nintendo's output on it is incredible, and it's seriously cutting into my switch portable time. Amazing.
Sold most mine, the EXP LTD, most of the home carts. Kept VS founders, a couple of home, computer, and all Arcade carts. The random cart bugged me, I'm actually much less cluttered just having a decent little arcade emulator there, without the thousands of games issues.
@slider1983 It didn't at the time, but I was recently given a PAL SNES, and after the Mini, though it obviously looked better, it was painful. Ended up sprinting for a region free machine.
I've just picked up a recapped universal SNES to go with my CRT. The TV is absolutely nothing special, but through RGB, it's incredible how much better it looks than the mini.

Re: Three More Konami NES Titles Are Getting Fanmade SNES Ports
@h3s
I love seeing what they can squeeze out of those machines, like the amazing looking Mega Drive R-Type and Street Fighter.
Re: Three More Konami NES Titles Are Getting Fanmade SNES Ports
Why? I don't get this trend of porting games to MORE powerful hardware?

Re: Missing For More Than 30 Years, This C64 "Holy Grail" Is Finally Playable

That's the one!
Yep, RI was incredible on both C64 and Speccy, I actually preferred those to either NES version and the MS.

Didn't that get trashed completely? Sure I remember a story about the Dev's trashing all his kit or something?

Re: Konami's NES Shmup Life Force / Salamander Has Been Ported To The SNES
@h3s
The arcade version has some horrible collision detection issues - the PC Engine fixes this and is the best version of the game IMO.
Also Life Force - Geadius-style power up bar
Salamander - instant power up's like R-Type
Re: Dizzy Spin-Off Fast Food Is Getting An Unofficial Sequel On The Amiga
This was completely different on C64 - played like a top-down version of Sega's 'Flicky' rather than Pac-Man and was really good fun.

Re: Digital Eclipse Sounds Keen On Doing A Sega Saturn Fighting Game Collection
Most of them are in Yakuza now though? If you're gonna do a Sega 3D collection, why base then on the mostly inferior Saturn versions?

As already mentioned, I doubt they'll top Neo Turf Masters, but I'll have a bash.

Was there one? I can't remember the reason for it being console/computer only, but I'm sure it was a weird one.

Re: Looks Like 3DO Might Be Getting An Unofficial Port Of PS1 Classic WipEout
Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of 'arcade game X ported to Neo Geo', and I don't really understand the point. This however, would be incredibly interesting
