The problem with Retro Achievements is some of their achievements rely on glitches or pure luck rather than skill, Lemmings on the SNES is a good example of this.
@N00BiSH Going through some of those comments I don't see a problem. Some positive, some negative. Personal attacks are uncalled for but criticism for an art style is absolutely fine.
I'm also not a fan of the Streets of Rage 4 art style myself although it could have been worse.
@N00BiSH I think people were annoyed that Monkey Island was being brought back and it looked cheap. Obviously that's not something he wanted to hear but I don't agree about making personal threats towards him.
I played the game at a friend's house. I'm terrible at these sports games but I do remember it playing just as well as a Tony Hawk game. Apart from the stripper videos my main memory is the opening FMV with a guy failing a stunt and grinding his nuts on a pole. Ouch. 😂
They have no quality control. The Retron 5 isn't just prone to breaking down easily, the grip on the cartridges turns it into a death-trap for anybody near you. 😆
My first thought is I'd love him to put it for sale instead of just giving it all to a museum for free. Having said that I really think Square Enix if they care about their history should be keeping a copy of every title here for their archive. Domark and Edios stuff is part of their history.
I'm curious to know why it's a tribute to the Game Gear? It plays more than GG games and the design isn't any different to the various clone handhelds on the market so why would Damien think this was Sega inspired? 🤔
So happy to see Acclaim back! They released some really fun games. What they really need to do now is get the surviving members of Probe Software together to resurrect that company. 😊

Re: Review: AYANEO 3 - A Remarkable (And Pricey) Modular Gaming Handheld
@-wc- Yeah I don't think I ever had issues although it's been a long time since I played on an actual Master System so could be nostalgia.
Re: Review: AYANEO 3 - A Remarkable (And Pricey) Modular Gaming Handheld
@-wc- I never had a problem with the Master System d-pad. That was good.
Re: SuperSega Boss Is Now Trying To Block People Getting Refunds
If Slope (who got taken for a ride wooooow!) brings the same lack of bias he did with the Amico doc I don't think his doc will be honest at all. 😆
Re: Acclaim Skirts Around The Issue Of Which Of Its Classic IP It Actually Has Access To
@ruiner9 That's what I got from it as well but so far they're not sure.
Re: GTA 3's Dreamcast Fan Port Looks To Be Getting Some Incredible Optimisations
Very impressive stuff.
Re: The Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Is Getting Another 2D Fighting Game
If this game is a tribute to Neo Geo Pocket Color games wouldn't it be a better fit for that format? 🤔
Re: Is This Really Japan's Worst Video Game?
I don't think Death Crimson is the worst. There's probaly a lot of other Japanese games from that era that fit the bill.
Re: Sega's After Burner Gets A Coin-Op Successor In The Form Of Top Gun: Maverick
Great, now everyone is going to keep calling each other their wingman. 😆
Re: Review: AYANEO 3 - A Remarkable (And Pricey) Modular Gaming Handheld
@-wc- The Mega Drive d-pad is awesome.
Re: X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse SNES Gets A New Fan Reimagining For PC & Android
Interesting changes, a shame stuff had to be changed though.
Re: Review: Broken Sword Collection (Evercade) - A Pair Of Point-And-Click Classics
Why would anyone want inferior ports when you can get the originals on GOG easy and that's not counting the Reforged remaster? 🤦♂️
Re: Anniversary: Panzer Dragoon Turns 30 Today
I think we are overdue on some remasters.
Re: Here's F-Zero Running On The Sega Genesis (Kinda)
Very impressive stuff. 👍
Re: Taito Laserdisc Titles 'Ninja Hayate' & 'Time Gal' Are Heading To Steam Next Month
Still need to pick up Time Gal.
Re: Ex-Acclaim Dev Gives Closer Look At The Cancelled SNES Title 'Mortal Kombat Nitro'
@GhaleonUnlimited You were more impressed with an inferior port? 🤔
Re: SNES Consoles Appear To Be Getting Faster As They Age
I think the sound is going to blow at this rate. 😂
Re: GameCube & Wii Emulator Dolphin Adds Better Cheat Support & The Ability To Track Your Play Time

Re: Director Of Upcoming House Of The Dead Movie Says It "Reflects The Experience Of Playing The Video Game"
Considering how he adapted the Resident Evil video games he hardly is good at this sort of thing. 😆
Re: Evercade's First Firmware Update Of 2025 Is Live
A shame the firmware update doesn't fix their Discord. 🙄
Re: The Design Duo Behind Curse Of Monkey Island To Start Work On "New Comedy Adventure"
@MontyMole Then why stereotype the audience who would buy it?
@MontyMole So he intended for it to look like a Flash game? Seems we dodged a bullet years ago. Would have aged like milk. 😆
@N00BiSH I saw a lot of praise for the game's graphics so have to disagree there.
Re: Dragon's Lair: The Legend For The Original Game Boy Is Getting A Rerelease
@boatie Reminds me of Retro Bit reprinting Aladdin when it's a really common game. 😂

@KingMike I know, it's sad.

Re: The Design Duo Behind Curse Of Monkey Island To Start Work On "New Comedy Adventure"
@N00BiSH Were people harassing them or criticising them?
Re: The Design Duo Behind Curse Of Monkey Island To Start Work On "New Comedy Adventure"
@MontyMole Alas those "middle aged baldies" are the ones who are most likely going to buy the game. Funny how that works. 😉
Re: The Design Duo Behind Curse Of Monkey Island To Start Work On "New Comedy Adventure"
@N00BiSH The art for Return is pretty bad so I'm not surprised. It looks cheap.
Re: The Making Of: BMX XXX - Behind The Scenes On Acclaim's Most Infamous Game

Re: "We Owe You An Apology" - Hyperkin Admits It Has "Overpromised And Under-Delivered"

Re: Dragon's Lair: The Legend For The Original Game Boy Is Getting A Rerelease
The only thing I don't like about reprints is it doesn't have the official console branding.
Re: Review: Game Kiddy Bubble - The Game Gear Tribute Act We've All Been Waiting For
@ludotaku Yeah I guess so, if they're basing it on those two.
Re: Review: Game Kiddy Bubble - The Game Gear Tribute Act We've All Been Waiting For
@sdelfin No, not seeing it unfortunately.
Re: Review: Game Kiddy Bubble - The Game Gear Tribute Act We've All Been Waiting For
@sdelfin I just don't see any resemblance to the GG.

Re: Review: Game Kiddy Bubble - The Game Gear Tribute Act We've All Been Waiting For
@sdelfin But it looks like a lot of clone consoles you can get from Amazon.

Not bad looking at all.

I feel sorry they're putting the AI through that slippery, broken movement. 😆
Re: Genesis Puyo Puyo Gets Translated Into English For The First Time
What they need to do is integrate the story of Mean Bean Machine with Puyo Puyo. 😊
