I get your point. I suppose Time Extension has been wrong before.
@mjparker77 Answers to what? Why you're harassing and stalking people online? I have a few ideas why but if you can't figure out your behaviour I can't help you.
@mjparker77 "'Stalking' you massively overestimate your importance."
Please stop lying. We can see how narcassisitic people such as yourself are. I've exposed people like yourself for harassment and bullying. People outside of this drama can clearly see what you're doing. You don't want to admit you're stalking me yet you find accusations on a video or a subreddit about me just like that?
Please don't insult my intelligence and stop lying. Fraud indeed... π
I agree to an extent. Fonzie really messed up when it came to communication. But that doesn't mean that people who worked on Paprium didn't pour their hearts and souls into the game.

I have no idea what you're talking about here? Did someone have a mental breakdown? How is that Watermelon's fault?

People selling the game for high prices on ebay is not Watermelon's fault.

"when I could get streets of rage 1-3, final fight cd, hyperstone heist, golden axe, and SO many more on the same console for (mostly) 5x less the price?"
Not sure where you live but PAL Hyperstone Heist is like Β£150 now.
"all the AMAZING modern beat emβ ups nowadays like streets of rage 4 and shredderβs revenge that similarly cost less too."
Those aren't physical releases on cartridge and while they're good they pale in comparison to the new things Paprium does.
@mjparker77 You have tried (and failed) to shame me here and probably elsewhere with false accusations. THAT is harassment and stalking. You can downplay it and deny it as much as you like but you've had your comments deleted because of you've done what I mentioned.
I disagree with the heading. Having now played most of the T2 games I've come to appreciate what the developers did to bring their own tailored version for a platform. I think sticking strictly to 2D maybe limiting them. Could still be a fun game though.
Here lies the problem: if you change what the MD can do too much then it's not the Mega Drive any more. It seems like developers are having trouble putting their modern tiny pixel games on Mega Drive when those games don't need to be ported in the first place. Make do with what you have. π
@mjparker77 You've made some very nasty, defamatory accusations about me before and anyone would not see that as "a joke". Downplaying harassment seems to be a common thing among you trolls.
@-wc- It wasn't so much the console I was interested in (although I liked that it was different) but more the idea they planned whereby physical product games would be redeemed digitally but you could still go on to resell your games. Even if the console never comes it this is our best way forward to keep games physically in stores. Going forward, if not Intellivision it should be the big companies who use that idea. It's a dream but maybe we could get physical PC games again this way. So my interest was always selfish but also altruistic.
With the angry mob mentality you speak they have a hate Discord and Reddit to stalk and shame people. It's been crazy what I've been through in terms of online stalking and intimidation. If I come across as being snappy it's because the user above us is one of those people. Not just me either but others have had that abuse. They literally went as a mob onto a late diagnosis autism podcast I was on and left comments to harass me, the podcaster and his followers for supporting him. At least one of them have admitted the drama is like a drug for them. The whole Amico project has really attracted the worst corners of the gaming community.
@-wc- "thought they were being oddly aggressive towards you."
Would you believe me if I told you people online have gone to extreme, obsessive lengths to harass, bully and shame me because I showed interest and was defensive over the console? Imagine being obsessed with something you hate so much you want to control others to the point of intimidation? The hysteria about the Amico is just crazy and it's nearly all from people that hate it. What you describe here in your quotes isn't just that user, it's a common trait of all those people. It's very weird behaviour to the average person looking in.
It's worth noting that Star Wars: The Old Republic was considered a fair bit of a failure. Its longevity is due to fans rather than general consumers. I haven't played the game so not sure who is to blame for it not doing well but it certainly wasn't a successful game to leave the company on.
@Sketcz "I went to the Goomba site and downloaded the latest version (2019). I put it on my GBA flashcart, along with the Army Men games.
The emulation is awful. The title screen has garbled graphics, the digitised sound is wrong. It's just awful."
I think that's where I got to as well before I gave up. It's a shame there isn't a better GBC emulator for the GBA everdrive. I was told just to put the rom on the Pocket and run it from there although I haven't tried doing that type of thing yet so not sure how it works.
I hope pocketnes is a little better with overall compatibility of NES.
@Sketcz I'm a bit confused. So the GBA Everdrive isn't running an emulator? I was using it on the Analogue Pocket. I thought at first it was Analogue but I'm pretty sure it's the Everdrive emulation. The game runs but doesn't display anything correctly. When I asked online about this they told me it's best to add roms to the Pocket and just run it from there. The thing is that's a workaround rather than a fix.
I can't remember which Army Men game it was but it was definitely GBC. My point is I imagine a number of games have compatibility issues on the everdrive. There's probably a list somewhere.
