@JoakimZ Hopefully. Amiga nearly always gets left out.

@KingMike It's true that those games I mentioned probably were GG conversions. I know Virtua Fighter Animation and FIFA were exclusive games and turned out better for that.

@Tasuki Oh yeah it's been one of their tactics since the beginning. It's why I could never get into the show.

@KingMike Earthworm Jim isn't optimised and I think that's the same for Legend of Illusion.

FMV games could be very good actually. I will say for those who think Damien's article is damning here of AI games (rightfully so) you should see his Bluesky account. He doesn't hold back there. 😂

I really appreciate what Tec Toy was able to do although their branding was just ugly to look at. Their exclusive regional games also offered issues with sometimes being unfinished.

@Tasuki Yeah, the whole show is nostalgia bait. I try to avoid any of the Stranger Things infection going around. 😆

I'm going to say the Turrican collection is missing the Amiga ports. 🤔

@MysticWangForce Aspyr's work on Star Wars has been very lacklustre compared to Nightdive. I really don't want them touching any more Star Wars games because I know it will be a let down.

Had no idea this existed. That's pretty cool.

This is so cute! 😊

Looks like a lot of fun, will wishlist it.

@Guru_Larry Yeah I appreciate the fact it isn't the same bundled in games as usual.

Good to see these games being made compatible. I just wish GOG updated their patch logs more often.

Looks like a lot of fun.

@iheartpizzallc I think you're on course for at least a very good game from what I've seen so far so well done guys! 😊

@Xerox1919 The impression I get is no one read the manual and just learned how to play the game by playing it which is mostly what manuals were made for: instructions. But it's great to hear I'm not the only one who liked manuals.

I get it's annoying having to cut material because of region languages, I was half joking. They probably should just have made the manuals bigger for PAL users or offered more regional variants since some games did they regional variant releases.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I thought I was the only one... 🤣

@SegaAges I still think this might make a few people at Nintendo upset. 😂

Well we saw Spyro on N64 so I guess it works both ways. 😂

@hste I wonder if they've stopped grifting off the Super Sega debacle?

"We'll gladly put [it] up against any fighting game ever released for the MD"

Bold statement. We will see...

"and one of the great pleasures of buying a new game was that time spent in the car on the way back from the shop, leafing through said manual to scrub up on things prior to booting up the actual product when you got home."

You could have fooled me! My understanding is most gamers ignored the instructions, probably why developers eventually abandoned manuals and included 20 minute tutorials.

"while games released in Europe and other PAL regions were cursed with instructions that came in multiple languages,"

Oh no, not multiple languages! Heaven forbid people in other parts of Europe can read instructions in their own language. 🤦‍♂️

@willstancilfan Probably both. 😂

I always imagine Spyro being ported to N64 so cool to see someone do this.

@JJtheTexan Harsh and not really true.

@MARl0 I'm a fan of some of Acclaim's output. I'm not one to write them off.

So everything is more zoomed in? 🤔

I like the fact this new game has a variety of locations unlike every Mega Man game that looks exactly the same.

@Eocene84 I think if they want to do a good job they will need a bigger budget. I thought Rebel Assault 2 was shot on film but I've learned it was shot on video, so the same could have happened to Jedi Knight. Even still, they'd need to locate the video masters or dallies. Hopefully Disney can help out a bit.

@MysticWangForce If they want to do a full remaster it would be a lot of work and it would look weird adding new graphics to then contrast that with grainy FMV with low res backgrounds.

I do hope it gets a proper remaster but I can think of lots of other games that would probably be easier to remaster.

@MysticWangForce @Eocene84 It's a HUGE undertaking, that's why. It's not just the fact they'd have to recreate all the levels. The negatives or video for the FMV would need to be located. Then the low res backgrounds for the FMV would need to be redone.

It's a lot of work. If they do that I will be very impressed.

@KayFiOS Their stuff was overpriced before the tariffs.

That's great news to hear! 👍

" but the price is getting a bump thanks to President Trump's infamous tariffs."

I don't believe that excuse, Analogue's stuff has always been overpriced, especially for people outside of the US.

So apparently it was completed a year ago and then he just vanished? I wonder what happened? Even with commitments he should have liaised with others.

I hope it covers the Power Play Cruiser joystick. That was an awesome joystick, the best for computer gaming in 8-bit and 16-bit.

He's correct. There was more improvisation back in the 80's.

Speaking of Dark Forces they're really going to run into problems if they decide to remaster Jedi Knight.

I hope they can also go out of their comfort zone and remaster games from other genres like point and click.

Rest in peace, he was an unsung hero more people need to know of.

Very happy to see this!

Well it it improves frame rates that's great because N64 is terrible with games running well.

@Daggot We keep wishing so I hope something happens.

"and diehard N64 fans will immediately notice that it lacks the iconic three-prong setup seen on Nintendo's original pad."

They probably had a mould lying around. Maybe it was too expensive to create a new mould to use.

Expect this to be supported for 8 months until the next Analogue console announcement. 🙄

@Saki-Endo Well the Amiga was released in the 80's but yeah the 1200 was released in the 90's.

It looks very much like a 3D printed toy. Nothing totally wrong with that but it looks a little unfinished maybe? 🤔

Highly impressive work! 😲

Rest in peace. Lung cancer is normally due to heavy smoking so that played a part but Rebecca's last post couldn't be truer.

I wonder if someone wants to setup their own arcade. 🤔

@Relikk That's true.
