No superior PS1 and Saturn versions...

Also why do these collections always leave off the Amiga versions??? 🙄

Yeah you tell her, that Danielle dear oh dear... 🤣

Not everything has to be on Nintendo. 👍

@Sketcz Reminds me of the CEO of Piko Interactive. 😆

Colourisation of old photos can work if done correctly however this aren't great examples. The guy is looking at the camera in one photo and not the other. At best it's sloppy, at worst revisionism. Again, nothing wrong with AI but when used things need to be checked!

Never heard of this but it looks fun.

@gingerbeardman Was doing that fun?

@N00BiSH That's good then. I don't see the point of it.

@N00BiSH To be fair at least Switch doesn't require a frickin crank to play the games. 😂

I hope they keep the cheesy song. Considering the second game was less than half the length of the original a remaster will need to add more plot and gameplay as the original release was way too short. They have an uphill struggle there. 🤔

That art is very iconic. Most company logos today don't look that stylish.

Very arcade like although I wished it pushed the console more.

@Beyerun Nothing with Amazon is guaranteed, it can be incredibly disappointing.

Hipster designers never thought to add folders? 🤔

Wow! That's pretty nice to look at.

@Daniel36 "it is dead simple to see these "commenters" registered to the site a few seconds earlier)."

It happens with people both arguing for and against something.

@Quick_Man I'm glad he's okay, this is good news but that's what I remember him from so apologies. Not as insensitive however as some of the comments above.

I will have to keep these on my radar, I had no idea there was a book series.

Wow, it looks almost the same. 😲

Best not say that about Donkey Kong Country...or else........ 🤔

We can't also forget the Fergalities, named after Probe's Fergus McGovern. Awesome! 😂

I'm glad he's getting better. Still blocked on Twitter though.

@Xerox1919 Yeah I see her pop up a lot on social media but I struggle to remember credits to her name apart from the miracle job of porting Doom to 3DO so quickly. I hope she pulls through though. 👍

@HoyeBoye Nope, it means auction. Used a lot in the UK. We try not to destroy things. 😉

I never read it but it looked cool on magazine stands.

Wow, I'm glad I didn't read that article at the time. I imagine that was quite shocking misinformation. 😂

Nintendo spoiling things for everyone yet again.

@Sketcz Thank you for the context.

I still have no idea how they can do a prequel to Simon the Sorcerer. 🤔

Looks nice at a glance but the animation hit feedback needs some work.

I disagree. I think both games are a lot of fun but are just a bit too hard. They've certainly aged better than Double Dragon that's for sure.

The problem with all this is that the person criticising in the update is the same person in the original article. They have to prove they are correct after calling SNK out. Just worth keeping in mind. Having said that yes, if you dig into the responses on bluesky it doesn't look good for them.

Still blocked on Twitter.

It's like arcade perfect. That's crazy what we could have got! 😲

@Axelay71 You get what you paid for and in this case I get the feeling it would have been very costly to produce and buy. The Neo Geo of its day.

Not a fan of GameSack but it's cool the channel is putting out a documentary on the magazine. Someone needs to do the same for GamesMaster.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant "f everyone doesn't know Jeremy Parish, or Retrobird on YouTube, I consider them the top shelf, along with gamesack."

That's a bit of a low bar you've set there. I think Parish is slightly better anyway.

@hisownsidekick I have, I'm not a fan.

Can't wait to see this go out of print in a few years. 🙄

Being in limited retail defeats the purpose of what they're trying to do I guess.

Uh-oh...hopefully Sega don't get another raid in progress again. 😲

@KingMike https://www.smspower.org/Games/HeavyweightChamp-SMS

This is shaping up rather nicely.

This actually makes perfect sense to me.

Nice to see this get localised.

Sega is missing the boat not doing this themselves.

Not my thing but there are other Bitmap Books I need to get around to buying.

@KraniX The limited retail circulation of them seems very odd indeed.

@PopetheRev28 They're still getting big licencing deals on games though.

@KraniX I wonder if there's a compiled list somewhere showing all the companies that have done defence contract work?

@KainXavier What I've found is we're still supporting a company in some form that's done defence contract work, even indirectly. Motorola is another one apparently. Of course as listed above Google is used my almost everyone.

@dunk Make no mistake, they definitely wanted to save money by cutting corners but I doubt they know or care about regional voice actors they hire or keep tabs on their careers.

@KainXavier Ever play any flight simulators? Microsoft and Sega are into defence contractors. Most likely if you use anything Microsoft you're supporting them.
