@Guru_Larry Horses for courses I guess. Of the three machines that gen, I bought all three, PS2 was the only one I sold. The Xbox's HD was a game changer for consoles, and the Cube, well, Nintendo.
Same with Switch, Ninty games, plus an incredible retro library I can take on the go.
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.
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......
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.

Time tells.
Remember Rise of the Robots?
Re: The Arcade Shoot 'Em Up Series 'Psyvariar' Is Finally Getting A New Sequel After 22 Years
Never quite vibes with these games, they just felt a bit weird.
Re: Namco's 1996 Coin-Op Tokyo Wars Is Coming To Consoles For The First Time Ever
Nice addition, but don't see it having much longevity for that price.
Re: "You Needed Guns" - Rockstar Co-Founder Weighs In On Why 'GTA London' Ended Up Being A One-Off
Don't think I ever actually played this one, weird considering how much I enjoyed the original and 2.

Re: Edia's 'Cho Aniki COLLECTION' Is Set To Flex Its Muscles Once Again - This Time On PC
I had the Saturn game back in the day. Kind of funny, but pretty average considering the machines shmup library.

@Martin_H
Yeah, still got the region free disc, but it's just a pain.
Re: The Studio Behind Simon the Sorcerer's Prequel Is Reportedly Remaking The Amiga Classic
@slider1983
Apart from the guy immediately below me, so that's two of us out of four posters?
It's also got a 38% average on Meta.
There's a reason the Lucas games remain legendary, while this series, well, isn't.
Re: The Studio Behind Simon the Sorcerer's Prequel Is Reportedly Remaking The Amiga Classic
It wasn't a classic though. It's was a pretty poor LucasArts knock-off with some horrible logic.
Re: Raiden Fighters Remix Collection Brings Three Classic '90s Shmups To Switch, PS4, and PS5 Early Next Year
@h3s
Horses for courses and all that, I think they're infinitely better games than 1&2.
Re: James Pond Is Getting His Own Collection On PC, PS5, Xbox And Switch 2
@Guru_Larry
From memory, the PS1 levels were quite a bit better, certainly visibility wise. It's been a while though.
Re: Raiden Fighters Remix Collection Brings Three Classic '90s Shmups To Switch, PS4, and PS5 Early Next Year
@h3s
The Dotemu collection us hot garbage.
And not that good......?
Erm, OK.
Re: Raiden Fighters Remix Collection Brings Three Classic '90s Shmups To Switch, PS4, and PS5 Early Next Year
Fantastic. I remember having the PAL X360 version on order forever and it went belly up.
Re: "You Are A Wizard" - This Fan-Made Mega Drive Port Of Final Fight Is Really Pushing Sega's Hardware To Its Limit
That's insane!
Re: Mushihimesama, Dodonpachi Resurrection, & Espgaluda 2 Just Got An Unexpected Update On Nintendo Switch
Still waiting for a Futari port to anything .......

Nothing. At all.

And you wonder why people think it's a cult.
Re: "Not Interested In Selling It To Haters" - An Intellivision Amico Just Sold On eBay For Over $2,200
@slider1983
'The eventual console'.
Really? Are we still doing this?
How's the controller for Amico Home coming along? 🤣
Re: "We Brought The Rivalry To An End" - Atari Reveals The Intellivision Sprint
@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.
Re: "We Brought The Rivalry To An End" - Atari Reveals The Intellivision Sprint
£99.99, I'm in. Still got my original hooked up to the CRT, but the power socket is getting a little loose.
Re: "Not Interested In Selling It To Haters" - An Intellivision Amico Just Sold On eBay For Over $2,200
@slider1983
Nah, not everyone. I was, for one. But some of them the AtariAge threads..... wow.

I had no idea they existed. Wild. TecToy?
Re: "Not Interested In Selling It To Haters" - An Intellivision Amico Just Sold On eBay For Over $2,200
'Haters', how old is this individual?
Interesting curio I guess, but an expensive way to play..... Farkle? Was it finished?
Enjoy! 🤣
Re: Ubisoft's 1994 Mario Kart Clone 'Street Racer' Is Getting A New Retro Collection On Steam
It's.... alright. Not something I'd spend money on again.

Bravo man, absolutely jaw dropping!
Re: This Modder Has Revived Imagine's Infamous 'Megagame' Add-On Concept, And The Results Are Jaw-Dropping
That's actually insane!
Re: Data East's RoboCop Gets A Second Genesis / Mega Drive Homebrew Port, But It Seems To Have Killed The First One
That's pretty incredible, nice work.
Re: City Connection Is Resurrecting A Classic R-Type Game Boy Color Game For Modern Platforms
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.
Re: 40 Years After It Launched, This Fan-Made Remake Has Given Us The Ultimate Way To Play Super Mario Bros.
'improved physics'.....
Like the All-Stars version? No thanks.
Re: Four More Evercade Carts Are Being Removed From Circulation
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.
Re: "Reject This Ugly Husk And Play The Original" - Panzer Dragoon II Zwei Remake Isn't Going Down Well With Fans
Thought the first one was decent, gamers are weird at times. The original still exists......

Re: Game Changer: Super Castlevania IV - Why Simon Belmont's 16-bit Debut Is A Stone-Cold Classic
@Edd-O
I bought it on double vinyl a while back - fantastic package.
Re: Anniversary: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Is 10 Years Old Today
I've got it on my hard drive and have never fired it up!
Re: Game Changer: Super Castlevania IV - Why Simon Belmont's 16-bit Debut Is A Stone-Cold Classic
It drags on a bit though. The first six stages are almost devoid of challenge.
Re: This Collection Brings Over A Dozen Old Games For '80s Home Computers Straight To Your Xbox & PC
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.
Re: Review: Neo Geo Arcade 1 (Evercade) - A Bold, If Familiar, Debut For SNK On Blaze's System
I mean, decent collection, but these games have been so widely available for so many years it just seems pointless.
Re: Evercade Seller Funstock Freezes US Orders Until Further Notice
All the winning!
Re: This Critically Acclaimed Shooter Starring Vin Diesel Was Cancelled For 2 Weeks, But Nobody Told The Devs
Really enjoyed this. Never played the sequel, still have it to visit in the pile of Shame.

Ermmmm cough I love Technos, and single-screen games, so......
Re: Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons To Feature A Saturn Port Of A Classic Arcade Title
@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.
Re: Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons To Feature A Saturn Port Of A Classic Arcade Title
@Santar
Early City Connection ports were trash, but Batsugun was actually damn good, more than playable on Switch, so fingers crossed.
Re: Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeons To Feature A Saturn Port Of A Classic Arcade Title
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.
Re: OutRun Comes To The Game Boy Color Thanks To This Unofficial Port
That's incredible, amazing work!
Re: Retro Games Ltd's Full-Size Amiga Replica 'THE A1200' Resurfaces At Gamescom
@pomegran
You're kidding? £300 - £350 going by their past full size releases.
Re: Retro Games Ltd's Full-Size Amiga Replica 'THE A1200' Resurfaces At Gamescom
I'd pick one up if it just included a true low Res output for connection to a CRT.
Re: This Week's Arcade Archives Release Is A Twin Cobra-Esque Shoot 'Em Up From SNK
@AlleyCat
But has busted controls on some games.
Anyways, after last week's Toaplan comps, I'm good for vert scrollers.
