I always thought metal slug would be the logical 'hidden' game, if you would enter both nr 1. and nr 2. and they have the rights anyway (it being on the pocket).. but i guess that was just a dream
garou is certainlyu my favourite classic fighting game, so having that game on my alpha is really on of the reasons to get it in the first place...
Still, enough fighters now after nr 3... time for some other neo geo classics on nr 4... maybe a sports edition with neo turf and baseball superstars
@Sketcz i akready hed rip off (original), and now got minestorm (since you gotta have that), protector (own the homebrew cartride) and tour de france.. (noit such a great game, but so interesting that they made such a niche game for it then, this was pre greg lemond, pre armstrom, and i like its rendition of the marseillaise)
@ChromaticDracula if you want that the OG evercade does that. Current evercades make you choose. Exp for handheld. Vs for tv. Alpha for its own little arcade paradise
@Crabbitsteve those are quite pricy though, esp with games... I love my real vectrex, even got some basic multigame thing for it, but got this one (founder's edition, yeah, nr 79) for the overlays and it's general cuteness
What i would like a kickstarter for is a reprint of all the original overlays..
Nice to hear, enjoying this game a lot..(and it's soundtrack) does that stick also work on the switch (in the original stick review there's something about an adapter?
(i get why you put radiant silvergun in the top, but isn't sin and punishment more relevant here as fellow rail shooter)
@gingerbeardman for what's worth, just bought it, and it did gave me an adrenaline rush the original never gave me..I bought the operation wolf / nightstriker port of M2 in august
(and support M2!)
Update: Wow that soundtrack
Update 2: Do see that the original goest 6 layers deep, this one only 4
@Martin_H thanx.. btw i do hace a few of those ios ports which are nice, but so dissapointing they were never update for controllers (and have an icade, that would have been amazing too)
Not really care about those old atari games, although i lioke the spinner (and nice to have the atari collection on switch)
maybe good to mentions you can also emulate lynx @damo , since with it you can relive the atari portable experience
The jaleco/piko group is interesting in the sense that evercade also has some carts out, and some evercade licenses are running out.. wondering if that means myarcade has taken those over, and the other way around, if this means hope that evercade will get an out run cart (my arcade will release a micro outrun cab next month)
not sure what a preorder means when there has been a kickstarter. ... but i guess they now ordered more then what they have already sold.... wonder when i will get mine (kickstarted 3 months ago)... feel like some timecrisis now.
oh excellent.. always wondered how i could get into these games, whenever i saw one of these games, like the ddp version mentioned
maybe unknown to most people, butthe dutch kpn mobilie operator had deals with ntt docomo to bring those iMode games to the west... but only managed to do a phew
@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..
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..)
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
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)
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)
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!
@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
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…
