The main problem I'm seeing with their retro games is you really have to double check what they take. There's tons of retro games for Mega Drive, Saturn, PS1, etc they don't take. Going forward they really need to fix that.
This website is going AI crazy! The hilarious thing is it's not like articles here will stop people using it, it's just more unnecessary advertising of it. 😂
@h3s If they don't have Nintendo on the cart they're most likely custom made carts. If you mean the boxes, that's because they want to avoid legal trouble. It's silly though, Sega could make tons of money putting their branding on the cases.
@CookieByte Not sure what version you played but in the original Worms game they were proper detailed sprites with definition. The sequel worms have zero definition to them, they look way too cartoony.
@CookieByte I don't get the appeal of a handheld port. These games have been released elsewhere many times as well so it's not like there aren't options.
@Bot_Bot_69 It's not just that. Others on the video have commented about how this game is available everywhere and Blaze could have provided the console versions instead which would have been interesting. No keyboard/mouse on a handheld to top it off is unwieldy.
"Instead, Lizardcube's game offers wide-open environments mixed with Metroidvania-style exploration, a clear (and, you could argue, not unreasonable) attempt to hit as wide an audience as possible."
My problem with the game. The art style also wasn't something that I was a fan of as well. It looks like a mediocre game.
@N00BiSH That explains why I didn't like the art for that game as well.
@RadioHedgeFund Yahooo, I love old games to be old! 😂

It seems the listing hasn't been taken down. Obviously this isn't available for pre-order but more a placeholder. Not sure how it got up in the first place.
A lot of the AI doom mongering could be alleviated if they a website was separating homebrews into AI and none AI categories. Let people decide what they want to use or play with. 👍
"The characters barely resemble the original actors because Virgin didn't want to pay for image rights – and Costner may have been uncomfortable having his face shown in a "violent" game"
They obviously did a poor job because I recognise those actors from the movie. I thought this was released for Amiga but it turns out it was an unrelated Robin Hood game from around the same time.
I think this is one of those 'black box' games I keep hearing about?
@Sketcz Retro Gamer have devoted entire articles to taking apart why SMB is the most revolutionary game ever made...it's not really, it's overrated. Very brown yes. 😆

@RootsGenoa It's just a fan game. It might as well be a mod or a hack.

Re: "One Of The Most Addictive Games I Have Played" - The Original Worms Was So Beloved, People Stayed After Work At Team17 To Play It
@CookieByte No way! The original worms look like actual worms, they have some detail to them. The sequel worms look too cartoony and lack detail.
Re: A Bunch Of Arcade Archives Namco Titles Are Now On Sale, Including Ridge Racer
@CookieByte I know but official ports of the games on PC with achievements and other goodies would be better.

I can imagine! 😆
@Oobgarm As far as I'm aware that's the original art.
@CookieByte I disagree. The art style of the original Worms is far superior to the sequels.

Re: Evercade DOOM Collection + Evercade Nexus DOOM Edition Officially Announced
@Martin_H Some comments in the video have suggested the collection would have more appeal if they included console ports of the games.

Re: "What A Year It's Been" - Commodore Celebrates Its Birthday With A New Game Initiative For The C64 Ultimate
@retrophilion The C64 was a success. Just because you don't like the phone doesn't mean the C64 is rubbish. 🤦♂️

Re: Review: The Pico GX Makes One Of Console Gaming's Most Infamous Flops Infinitely More Appealing
