@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. 😆

@Peppermint It's okay to embrace new technology. 😉

"It turns out this project relied heavily on AI assistance, something that is only noted on the GitHub page - which we unfortunately weren't aware of when this story originally went live. We apologize for missing this."

But you were so happy.

Completely, absolutely pointless. 😆

One man's rubbish is another's treasure. 😉

Absolutely! I still import games because they were never released in the UK!

I take it that crank no longer works if you don't update the firmware? 😂

Still waiting for official releases of these games.

Meh, the western art is iconic.

@OliverTwins AI is the new boogieman for people. Some gamers are very much gatekeepers. Just keep expressing yourselves. 👍

Somehow I feel this is what they should have looked like in the first place. 🤔

Cale seems very wishy washy about stuff. Antstream seem more honest here for some reason.

This is pretty odd.

Good coding with AI can produce some great results.

Sad to see Mike Rouse go. I hope he still stays around development with the Alien Breed team to put out other gaming collections.

Nah I'm okay with the actual collections that are being put out Blaze. 😂

But will he do the pose?

@Arcadia_Official I'm glad someone is updating us on ModRetro news.

Getting Tomorrow Never Dies flashbacks from this.

@EarthboundBenjy Was Sonic Forces really any worse than previous 3D Sonic games?

Why is everything so zoomed out?

The hypocrisy in this article and comments is off the scale. I'm just taking out my popcorn. 😂

@sdelfin Tiertex put out good ports. This tester is just complaining because it's trendy to do.

@Sketcz So you'd rather remain ignorant based on what others tell you? That doesn't sound like your usual logic.

I'm calling BS on this article. The game had issues and yes it was a disappointment compared to the original but it wasn't THAT bad. Also, saying The Last of Us is a good game is kind of ridiculous, come on. 😆

Let's be real here, I'm with Allan Findlay on this. 👍

The comic was awesome when they were telling arcs, not so much when doing standalone stories. Great work on the comic Lew! 👍

@KingMike SMS Taz was a huge amount of fun.

@mjparker77 Well what about if people want to own these games because they enjoyed them? 🙄

@LordBritish This website is very anti-AI. At this point TE would complain about AI in playing actual games. I'm glad someone in gaming legend called the website out. 😆

I'm sure we'll get to the point where TE will complain about AI in games. 😂

@BadAstroZA Well said!

Can't wait...let's goooooooo! 😊

@dodgykebaab Hot take!

Can't wait! Let's gooooo! 😊

Oh well I guess Damien will have to cover the Mod Retro 64. 😂

@marccarran For what?

I'd rather see the games remastered but okay.

@Fallingshadow Erm...that's a nope! 😂

"Herman Toothrot is Elaine's father, now?!"

Thank you for reminding me. 😆
