More power to them. I don't really get excited for awards shows for video games.

@Damo Not sure if this interests you but my favourite Ghostbusters game has received a fan update. Check it out:

@h3s I always felt Zool on PC was let down by the sound quality and not running well. I'm glad you liked it though.

"Umbra Dynamics holds the rights to Zool"

I thought that was Sumo Digital?

Anyway this is sad to hear. The sadness is that the Zool release was very good apart from the missing coin. Talk about throwing out goodwill. Speaking of the coin I do hope they send it.

@h3s It's an odd choice as the Mega Drive re-release is edited as well.

@tektite_captain Zool was unknown and mediocre? What planet are you living on??? 😆

@JetmanUK I second this. I wasn't aware the original release was missing a lot of stuff.

Now we need a Sega Master System port. 😊

Nice to see the return of this game. I unfortunately never owned it back in the day but people really seem to like it.

@Westone32bit I don't get it either.

His credits also include Luxor 3 which is kind of awesome as the Luxor series was fun.

It's an overrated game whichever platform it's on. 😆

This is great news although I'd love to see a remaster of the fourth game. Here's hoping the film elements still exist for that.

@Shaw_Brothers I have a lot of time for Mega Race. 😊

This is very short sighted of them.

Nice to see it made compatible. 👍

@Scollurio Yes I read his answer to that.

@Damo So you want just one opinion? 😲

I mean to respect your wishes I won't comment on AI related articles.

@Damo I don't tend to stick to a website based on my opinions but more my interests. All the AI articles will no doubt increase here as more projects use Gen AI but apart from that this website puts out a lot of interesting articles otherwise I wouldn't spam post MobyGames Discord with them. 😂I can't imagine going to different websites just because I disagree about AI and neither should you, differing opinions should be welcome. 😊

@Damo So you're hoping AI in various forms will just stop and people everywhere will stop using it? 🤔

@Damo Regulations are needed. People won't stop using Gen-AI so don't expect that to happen.

@Scollurio "the whole entertainment industry and software industry is creatively bankrupt and managed to run itself into the ground just fine even without AI.

A common argument is "AI can just remix exiting stuff but not create new things." - I don't see how this differs to 90% of all things in a saturated end-stage society like ours."

Great point!

@Damo There's nothing wrong with questioning this technology but I'd see the problems more from a business point of view. I just find this tech announcement unnecessary and I don't feel the platform has legs considering the AI tools exist elsewhere to do what they want to do.

From a creative point of view I always go back to needing regulation laws.

Well as an apparent VIP on Antstream this doesn't interest me a whole lot. If the tools to do this exist elsewhere people might not buy into this service. I personally think Antstream should stick to games. They've done a lot of good already. This seems unnecessary.

@DeciderVT Antstream is a good platform.

@jojobar If the tools already exist elsewhere it might.

@gojiguy Preaching to the choir.

@Damo "If you subscribe to Antstream, you're supporting this."

Yahooo! 😊Yet TE supports SNK while saying they don't support Mod Retro. Makes sense... 🤦‍♂️

@16bitGeneration Selling cancer??? 😆

I'm always surprised the DS was successful compared to the PSP. The DS was just so confusing and gimmicky. I just want to play my games, I don't need two screens! 🤦‍♂️

Hopefully someone will pick up the rights to have them.

@CookieByte WTF man? 😆

He's really done a lot with this game so that's cool but I wonder how much more he can add to a game that was built around the original movie. Some of his hacks aren't great as well. The original Batman Forever is far superior to his hack which at best solves the difficulty issue.

@h3s Great first film to watch in the cinema. 😊

@CookieByte If I bought the Rayman collection is there a mod to put the old music back in?

@CookieByte They didn't allow the use of the original music to respect his friend? Huh? 🤔

@Damo I think it's a bit more than that and the person below you is stating some of my view on the subject as well. I obviously cannot change your mind but it would be wrong for me not to point out why AI is not the major issue you're worried about. Not everyone is anti-AI either here or outside generally.

@Damo Literally if you list the amount of pro and anti AI people in the comments of these articles you get around the same amount. No AI math needed. 👍

@CookieByte Maybe there's some confusion. I'm talking about Rayman, I'm not talking about Sonic 3.

@Sketcz Oh that's good. I thought you weren't going to play it because you rate Ranger X highly and EGM gave both similar scores. 😂

I don't think much of what Dan Curley has to say on all this anyway. I agree more with Allan Findlay's take.

@X68000 Thanks for that info.

@Agent_P I am allowed to give my opinion and here it's warranted for me not to like this.

@EarthboundBenjy From what I've seen I have to disagree. Gameplay was fast paced and you got to create a custom character. It doesn't play great but not sure I could call it horrible.

@Martin_H I know Amiga has but I wasn't aware Atari ST had those issues.

@CookieByte Why? Doesn't his family or estate own his music?

@Martin_H Atari ST has lots of ownership rights? 😲

@VirtuaDireStraits Well I'm not but as an outsider it's very contradictory but anyway.

@VirtuaDireStraits Well that doesn't sound very progressive.

@Sketcz You said you don't want to try Strider II based on Internet culture trashing it. It isn't like you to follow the crowd.

@CookieByte I mean can't they licence the music from his estate?

@jmap Where is this bridge?

@Damo I'm not pro-AI and I'm not anti-AI. I just see AI as being useful in certain areas and am open to its use. I do agree however there should be better regulation on how its used.

I'm continuingly fascinated by the coverage this gets. The console probably won't get released and then what? No news to scrape off the toxic anti-Amico subreddit? Does TE have an abusive relationship with the CUPodcast that they still link to their segments after what Pat did to Damien?

Guys, it's been sunny outside, go get some sun! There's a whole world out there to have fun in instead of being obsessed with something that never came out. The Amico is not something to obsess over or the people who had actual interest in it. 😆

@Andee Some people are obviously very bored.

@Exerion76 It wasn't a scam. Please get your facts right.

@Bot_Bot_69 You want the Bebop and Rocksteady of retro gaming to continue reporting on gaming news??? 😆

@Soupbones It ended because they finally realised it was completely unnecessary. 😂

@Razieluigi It's an obsession.

Why not do an Atari ST? There's more interest in that.

It was the best available 8bit console so I'm not surprised. The SMS II did gangbusters internationally. You could get a great port of Star Wars way cheaper than the inferior NES original.

@ROFLknife14048 Hilarious, thanks for the comedy. 😆

@RadioHedgeFund Of course! 👍

@Quick_Man Not quite. Virgin marketed the SMS better in the early 90's so it did great.

@ederenzi78 I really hope Mr Nutz Studio does more games.

@-wc- I'm kind of sick at this point of hearing about the environment. There are many ways to destroy the environment, AI is just one.

@Thad I'm glad humanity has got past using sticks and fire. 🙄

@Snk4ever How so?

@VirtuaDireStraits Wokeness is kind of ironic in the context of progressives not wanting AI. Plus you don't ever want to be tag teamed in a conversation by the Oliver Twins! 😆

@OliverTwins Innovate and make games how you see fit. As long as AI is used correctly a mob of anti-AI people shouldn't stop you making games.

Great responses from them. I see the potential for AI to do good stuff but it needs to be handled carefully.

"This led to a rabbit hole of reading about how "The Prompt Engineer Is the Artist of Our Age", which genuinely made me sick to my stomach."

Why? Artists are using tools to direct AI for how they see fit. They ARE artists. That is creation whether you like it or not.

"while colleagues and I are opposed to AI, the attending public seemed apathetic."

I mean I have contrarian opinions yourself. The mistake you and Damien make is thinking your opinion is what everyone wants. You immediately assume every gamer hates the use of AI. Do you see why the comments gets as many pro-AI people as anti-AI people?

"Something something AI will doom us".

@Sketcz I believe I've seen some complaints over on Retro Mags about this Kickstarter as well.

Gameplay will still be broken though. 😆
