Good that you’ve updated this.. i think you’re a bit optimistic.. without the elements it’s not really living up to its promise…, and if you’re looking at 600+ it sort of changes… stilll good they keep improving.. just got a dock for my analogue pocket… seems to fit my use case more, but everybody has different preferences ofcourse…
@Gerald No Ice Cream No Party! (did play that version way back on my GBA SP 20 years ago).. speedball 2 really is the Amiga middle phase for me, got the game (from a friend, natch) the day i got my A500 in march 1991
@ChromaticDracula i guess it's because i had to use another email address when ordering because somehow my normal one didn't go through when ordering...
@ChromaticDracula aren’t they spamming you with mail? I get all the anouncements twice about 12 hours before they are on time extension… aren’t they in your spam forlder or something?
Think the divisive hing is something of that time, and looked upon from an era of a failed gamecube which changed the perspective..
Mario Kart 64 is quite bad (imho) in hind sind, and this stays as fresh as it was... happy some DD tracks came to the final rounds of the booster pass, just before mk8 closed...
I have the retro comteollers for switch so i use them at times. Have an analoguenpocket for the perfect experience ans a miyoo mini plus in my workbag for casual play during commute
Interesting how atari has become all about history now. Just downloaded the atari memorial on switch. Really feels. Good little border in my groups between the jap and the western nso apps. Really nicely done. Tempest 2k remains magical even thouhj tempest 4k is sitting on my switch too
Lovely, but personnally i am happy with my white, not sure if they are competing resources, but their firmware updates are way behind planning, so they should focus on that...
that's why i still subscribe to retrogamer, tog et that old magazine feeling somewhere... (and 200 issues means there is some life left in magazines i hope)
@Damo Sure I understand it's a harder to sell 3 million on 31 million than on 102 million, but that is sort of the point Laidbackstrat, isn't.. the relative importance on the loved problem being seen to be far more important than the absolute performance on the gaming market.. ...
Yes. For sure. And it get worse. I recently saw a top 100 of games voted for by amongst others eurogamer and nintendo life and it contained no amiga games at all and barely and other home computer games…
Oh and damien pointing out that banjo sold 3 million on a smaller platform is a bit of a logical fallacy. Selling 3 million to gamers did both, so why only one with a famous developer libked to two platform holders should get the attention…
Just received my miyoo plus.. quite nice size too… installed onion os, got amiga working, but the switcher remains a bit fluffy at times… my pocket is far better, but at this size it will just sit in my workbag ready to play…
I got it running, and they really beautifully recreated the interface, congrats Adam and friends.... will remain a curiosity though, since although they invented time x 1800, it won't be the same as you simply can switch it off and do something else..
My ‘favourite’ moment when i finally got gold stars on the cup with bowser castle. I jumped up and the cord between wiimote and nunchuk got stuck in my lamp, taking part of the lamp down…
I will always remember when i was on holiday in italy seeing a beautful women playing Tetris in the sun somewhere in Tuscany.... thinking of the game makes me think of her...
And on the Ikaruga thing.. it might just be that Treasure was already legendary here for gunstar heroes (and radiant silvergun), and Ikaruga was ported directly to GC and DC.. (being on a Naomi board the latter was easy, more so than a specialised board like cave's)
1. For the legal compilations companies are leaning a lot on emulators developed by volunteers, partly because they still wanted a play a game (see the nintendo example cited above, when nintendo even used a rom ripped for such an emulator.
2. The people who like classic games are both the target group for those emulators and for well done classic compilations, and most of them thefore own lots of them, as well as some of those classic games themselves, as well as maybe having some roms.. I think this is a healthy diet to keep interest in classic games alive... (we would otherwise maybe never have those compilations in the first place)
3. Don't forget the role of game discovery.. I bought fire emblem engage partly because I experienced the gba games..
Thanx for giving attention to this, site really proves its worth.. and for the lovers of the game: we still hold a yearly world cup, this year in germany.. visit sensible soccer.de for more details

Re: Talking Point: Where Do You Stand On "Ethical Emulation"?
My two cents,
1. For the legal compilations companies are leaning a lot on emulators developed by volunteers, partly because they still wanted a play a game (see the nintendo example cited above, when nintendo even used a rom ripped for such an emulator.
2. The people who like classic games are both the target group for those emulators and for well done classic compilations, and most of them thefore own lots of them, as well as some of those classic games themselves, as well as maybe having some roms.. I think this is a healthy diet to keep interest in classic games alive... (we would otherwise maybe never have those compilations in the first place)
