Maybe 'under the hammer' is dutch immigrant influence to the aussie dialect since in dutch it is 'onder de hamer' used for auctions.

@HammyHavoc i get what you're coming from , but this game is aiming at such a specific demographic, that the business case LRG put forward for thrm just wasn
tthe correct one... i couldn't get the special controlller (sold out eventhough in production) , i fear the fysical cart will be as well, and my megadrive hasn't the best rgb output, so i'm very happy that i can play it now on a crt via my analogue pocket, using the rom i bought as [art pf the steam release ( i even bought it for the switch as well, since it is nice to play with the megadrive pad..

@Beyerun the first neo geo had a switchable cover. (a purple evercade-arcade one and a black and gold backside) . i can imagine that went wrong..

Love the game, and just tried this, is done with attention. although it is good to mention the original is SGB enhanced which also gives a nice effect.. (not tried this one on the sgb yet..)

they are really looking at one of them is doing and then all imediately copying each other.... last year sp style, this year ds style...

On space invaders: wasn't the original black and white with stickers providing the coloring? what version are looking at..

Got both versions and now having bubble bobble on my (sf2) alpha feels really nice, natural fit... and some of the others on my discount exp i bought now the model is announced

@Boopero I thought that too, the otjer taito colection does contain the yoyo game which feels a bit qixi

I ad mostly clones, but once bought a real cheap one , which i sold for double, which was stupid, because double was still less then 10 pounds

for me it is the otherway around.. red viper made me inspired to break more interested in the virtual boy (just as Jon Cartwright and John lineman's videos)..the vb seems to get a second chance and nintendo's offering gives us that opportunity...

sure it is (too) expensive, but/and a niche product, but will save this part of gaming, and celebrate gunpei Yukoi's legacy ... the way it failed and was mostly ignored (except by warioware!!) didn't reflect nicely on big N

Dutch ditributor bold just loeerd theold exp 2024 one to 94 euros. So i got that instead. Live my alpha, og and vs. it really is a nice ecosystem to collect for.
(And some people have had bad cartridges but not any decay yet. Do wonder how long they will last in the end ofcourse. But most of my 10+ year old sd cards are still alive)

@The_Pixel_King it's there since yesterday!

@damo on consoles now, you might want to update this.. it's lovely on switch.. love the 'bad crt' option as well for the visiuals

(till want the md rom though to play it on a crt)

@phillai certainly, it remains core elements of the DOJ soundtrack, which might just be the best in the world

ah nice to read this, i remember the hype back then... and you've still got these things aroud, isn't the amiico in a way a similar story? ( I don't think anyone really believed the would take on nintendo, but maybe find a nice niche)

would this work on the pocket with sgb vcore, lets try....

nice, and that in the same week outrun returns to analogue pocket (there was a weird bug) and a day after i fixed my xbox 360 so i can play outrun 2 again!

@Lorfarius you can already preorder now, so no need to hall behind.. (although us situation is different

@YANDMAN because it ain't hardware dopswitches on the neo geo.. but bios settings... overcame hasn't supported those yet... let's hope with 3 neo geo cartridges (and windjammers) they will update the firmware to put some neo geo start settings in

@KingMike in the description it says it used the arcade prototype and not the neo geo cd version..

really underrated game

Alway love llamasoft. But this time it goes up against the excellent llamasoft exhibition by digital eclipse…. Still feels very much at home on evercade…. Decisions. Decisions…

I guess you have point... maybe we should look at a similar specialistic segment in another domain if they make such errors there too...

but any props=advisor should aim to be more than just 'stock clipart in a way'

@Grackler don’t think there is a save. But games aren’t that long so it is not really a point

@Martin_H the manual!

@Damo @mjoarker77. Ofcoudse i have those games. But playing them on the evercade alpha really feels like finally having my own MVS in house

Just got it yesterday.. too small o the super pocket, but nice on the alpha.. controls well, simple game play, but quite addictive..

gave me a good feeling to buy a new amiga game after all these years

@damo a great new arcade just opened in utrecht, completely styled like it is tokyo, called 'akiba district'... you want me to do a quick write up?

it's not just gambling thogu , bally is connected to a number of regional sports networks in the us

Good to see a new range of the devices coming with a saturn capable processor.. now just waiting for the perfect form factor and analogue stick....

@Sketcz i run sensible soccer tournaments and the world class players never want emulation, you can do some side tourneys though.. which forum is that, I do play a mean game of vectrex trust...

@avcrypt yes this.. i love my vecxtrex, but the magic really is in the screen, i showed it to my friends on my arcade birthday party this may and everybody was still in awe.. (got lucky, bought it for 40 euros 20 years ago)...

If the screen isn;'t important, there is a ncie emulator for the ipad which even works with the iCade to create a vectrex mini basically, And the analogue pocket works great on a hires screen too.. imade a little video on those three last yeaqs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf2rXOUeVM0

and i wonder how they deal with the overlays.. having proper mini overlays would increase the nostaltic feeling immensely

Oh wow, this is the only real arcade quality original shooter on the amiga .. truly a masterpiece, let's hope they make the remake with the same love..

Really hope alpine racer. There aren’t that many arcade skiing games.

And ust preordered that g’aime gun. So time crisis is covered

i have lots of problems with this commodore restart... it's a YouTuber getting views and this works for his algorithm... the old commodore may have been dead but that didn't stop the c64 mini... So let's not pretend this is a major breakthrough

those things seem to be more problematic than using gen. AI bit, just like most people I'm afraid... I recognize the dangers, but I don't think singling out Simpson, when he has says he has no immediate plans, is fair, to be honest...

@JetmanUK would you say that this is your main way of playing spectrum now?

(Mine is just playing splat on the miyoo mini)

I guess this is why a lot of us here are basically creating our own home arcades. There seems to ve jo libg term business case for most of these. Happy i could change my home in an arcade on my birthday.

Let pons rest in peace. After robocod it all went down the pond)

@Moroboshi876 yes relatable…i did end up buying taito for the alpha since i couldn’t find an egret recently… and the teo ad the same times feels really nice,..

This one also is a dilemma… i like how they made it collectable and sure it will be sold out.. but i don’t think i will play them often

‘Showing we don’t need a “new commodore”’

Mmm would really want a buy the rom. Not sure if i should wait for the deitch version now or just get this.

@damo can i buy this for the rom?

@mjparker77 yeah it really is an Edge kind of thing isn’t it. Getting us all hyped for the next gen by then. Miss those days.

Was this on anyway related to the Amiga game Wings by Cinemaware (1990) which seems to share to look, but i can’t find anything

@romanista ok. I gave in afger seeing it on action on youtube. I’ve roeorderd the neogeo arcade cartridge for
My alpha anyway

Part of me wants this. But I have the cartridge pre ordered so it would be superflous. Looking forward rto playing metal slug in my alpha in august

@xzacutor ah thanx... the vs for the lara-haters;)

yes that would me preferred way too.. rom . and then via my pocket on crt...

or an evercade release for my alpha

does that solo mean you can only enter one cartridge?

isn't it kmore worrying that he is wearing an Atari-shirt?

thjat d-pad looks so cheap..

quite interested in that new vertical screen handheld i saw recently... but this is not really something new

nice little joke John!

Looing lovely.... so many new great shmups coming.. (earthion... come here), and so many classics now available to me .... what a time to be alive

Mmm i had just decided not to buy this, since i just preordered the neo geo one (and roguecraft dx), and have windjammers on the switch, but this go me doubting again...

i mainly play evercade on the alpha though, and then an only 2 player game probably won't get played that much...

(and only a few other games... kind of suprised by the score TBH)
