@PKDuckman Yeah. I think if Sega start republishing their games it should be with the Sega Ages versions and those should be available on different platforms.
I really had hoped Sega would stay in the console business. It seems like a lot of these people at Sega didn't really know how to utilise their success.
@Electryc03 Yeah there's that and some people are against the exploitation of nostalgia. If it can be done I think it's great for the company. It makes Commodore more famous and brings it back from obscurity. The detractors would rather it remains obscure so it's easier to gatekeep.
@Electryc03 A lot of the hate comes from people who don't like revenue making YouTubers or influencers and the CEO of Commodore is YouTuber Retro Recipes so people have a problem with that.
I honestly never considered the Terminator 2 game on Amiga that bad. The Master System game is fine as well. My problem with this new version is that it tries to combine nostalgia with a complete adaptation so much it feels very limited. It could have been much more interesting which is why I appreciate the 90's licenced T2 games more.

Re: How The NES "Defined The Home Video Game Industry As We Know It"
The same repeated, boring perspective by the VGHF as though NES ruled everywhere, where it didn't. Yawn. 🙄
@h3s Games for SMS were on average £29.99. It was easier to find SMS games than NES games in the UK.
Re: Who Created The Term "Metroidvania"? Gaming Historian Critical Kate Tries To Find Out
@Eocene84 Only due to ignorance which Nintendo fans and general gaming fans suffer from. 😉
Re: Who Created The Term "Metroidvania"? Gaming Historian Critical Kate Tries To Find Out
Nintendo bias at it again. Metroidvania as a name shouldn't exist:

Re: "Long Lost" Genesis Sequel To Pit Fighter Is Found, Thanks To The VGHF
I had no idea this even existed. That's cool. 👍
Re: Road Rash Is Getting A Spiritual Successor Called 'Bash Moto'
With all these 'spiritual successors' coming out at this point E should just make a new Road Rash game. 😆
Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived
@Guru_Larry I had never used a Quickshot before. It was sold to me with an Amiga. I never used it after that. 😂
Re: "It Sounds Like Some Kind Of STD" - The Birth Of Sonic, Xbox In Japan, & Why Namco's Advertising Hated The Name 'Klonoa'
@Lanmanna Yes.
Re: "I Was Strangling Both M2 And Myself" - Sega's Yosuke Okunari Recalls The Painful Relaunch Of The 'Sega Ages' Series
@PKDuckman Yeah. I think if Sega start republishing their games it should be with the Sega Ages versions and those should be available on different platforms.
Re: "They Lied" - New Research Casts Doubt On Analogue 3D Accuracy Claims
Well don't expect it to get tons of updates for compatibility, this is Analogue after all.
@Martin_H They said the same about the Mega SG and look where we are. 🙄
@BionicDodo That's how the algorithm works.
Re: "I Was Strangling Both M2 And Myself" - Sega's Yosuke Okunari Recalls The Painful Relaunch Of The 'Sega Ages' Series
Sega's continued big mistake is not making the Sega Ages line available for PC and other platforms.
Re: Here's How To "Fix" Knuckles' Chaotix, One Of The Most Divisive Sonic Games Of All Time
The tether system is what gave the game its identity. This mod kind of makes the game pointless.
@StyrofoamCup I honestly don't see the problem as well. Why did it need to be a 32X Sonic game?
Re: "I've Never Seen A Review Asking For More Escort Quests" - Fallout's Creator Comments On Why Escort Missions Are Rarely Done Well
I still shudder when I remember the escort mission from Max Payne II. It stopped the game being as fun as the original.

Re: Review: Commodore 64 Ultimate - The Gold Standard Of Retro Computer Revivals
From Damien's review this sounds amazing. Now if Commodore could get the rights to the Amiga I'd be all over that.
Re: One Of The Best Mario Kart 64 Mods Has Just Got A Great Festive-Themed Update For The Holidays
Mario Christmas everyone! 😂
Re: Gallery: Opening Up Retro-Bit's Toaplan Shooter Collection 2 And Undeadline Re-Releases
I wish the Mega Drive releases were more on brand.
Re: MicroProse Is Partnering With Geoff Crammond To Bring Back His Formula One Grand Prix Series
Kind of a shame they can't do a deal with EA for the F1 licence.
Re: Wolf Team's Dinosaur-Themed Pinball Game ' Dino Land' Roars Onto Consoles & PC With New "Restored" Edition
"the Mega Drive/Genesis version was the only one to get an official release outside of Japan at the time of its original launch"
I must be living in a different universe, this never got a Euro release?
Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived
@Guru_Larry I tried a Quickshot once. It was unplayable when I used it for The Lion King.
Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived
@Guru_Larry Disagree, Powerplay Cruiser is frickin awesome. Now if they re-released that I'd be all over it.
Re: "He Was Literally Frothing At The Mouth" - Yuji Naka Really Didn't Want Sega To Make Mature Games
@NatiaAdamo I agree with you there. I don't consider the Mega CD a failure.
Re: After 25 Years, Google Has Finally Killed Dreamcast Web Browser Support
I'm sure fans will bring it back.

Nothing much new here. I'm glad it's been recreated.
Re: The Sega Saturn-Inspired Parking Garage Rally Circuit Is Getting An Expanded Version For PC & Consoles
Looks a bit like Destruction Derby.
Re: Commodore International Says Commodore Industries Trademarks Are "Invalid"
@Electryc03 Yeah there's that and some people are against the exploitation of nostalgia. If it can be done I think it's great for the company. It makes Commodore more famous and brings it back from obscurity. The detractors would rather it remains obscure so it's easier to gatekeep.

Re: Commodore International Says Commodore Industries Trademarks Are "Invalid"
It's all for the best if it rolls into one.
@FPGAguru Speak for yourself, I want to be able to buy official Commodore computers with a company structure behind it.
Re: "THIS IS THE END" - The Man Behind The Infamous SuperSega Console Finally Admits Defeat
@Honkshot See, if he had taken that approach throughout the whole thing instead of being drunk it might have actually resulted in an actual product. 🤔
Re: The Company Behind Arcade Archives Is Teasing Something Big For Its 500th Release
Is it Sega Sonic? Needs to be.
Re: After Multiple Delays, Bitmap Bureau's New Terminator Game Is Finally Out Across Consoles & PC
I honestly never considered the Terminator 2 game on Amiga that bad. The Master System game is fine as well.

Re: Here's Our First Look At The New Live-Action Street Fighter Film
Is this some kind of sick joke??? 🙄
@Eocene84 There's nothing 90's about this.
Re: Reports Suggest Arcade1Up Is Shutting Down
I don't think it was sustainable.
Re: Shinyuden Confirms Physical Release Of Mega Drive SRPG Vixen 357 Is Still Happening
That's strange, I thought this was already released? 🤔
Re: Sega & Higround Are Collaborating On A Range Of New Sonic & Dreamcast-Inspired Keyboards
Wow, these look cool from a distance but they look busy.
Re: The SNES Classic 'R-Type III: The Third Lightning' Is Getting A Remake For Modern Consoles & PC Next Year
I saw Strictly Limited Games selling this. I would probably buy it if it was a compilation of all the games.
Re: Atari's Lost '80s Precursor To Beatmania Has Been Recovered

Interested to know now what were the last released Dreamcast games in the US and Europe. 🤔
Re: Yuzo Koshiro's Failed Streets Of Rage 4 Pitch Was Inspired By Team Fortress Classic
Well at least they didn't use TF2 as inspiration. They would have turned SOR into a comedy! 😂
Re: Capcom President Teases "New Releases, Remakes, And Ports" Could Be On The Way For Mega Man & Two Other Classic IPs
I'm pretty sure Mega Man has been squeezed dry at this point.

Is this some kind of sick joke? 🤔
Re: "Retrobrighting" Might Actually Cause More Harm Than Good To Your Yellowing Consoles
So far I've never had to do this so this is food for thought.

Re: Sorry Shenmue Fans, But That "Leaked" 'Shenmue 4' Trailer Isn't Real After All
Unfortunately it's becoming more common to see AI trailers for entertainment. Fake trailers need cracking down on.
