@stankybeans I know, all those AAA games. It's terrible. Why don't you do something useful with your life instead of being a loser who stalks people? π€
@Toy_Link No actually I'm not. I also didn't accuse Kevtris of running a harassment campaign. Great way to misconstrue what I said.
@stankybeans The only thing you need to judge is yourself...which frankly considering the disgusting behaviour I've seen you guys do continues to make me look great every day...so thanks for that! π
@Quick_Man You know absolutely nothing about my experience with the trolls and their harassment. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
@stankybeans I didn't know about this but I question why it hasn't been reported more? Plus you're leaving out an important detail.
"He knows grown-ups can hit back, right?"
You talk about narcissism but look at yourself. You hide behind alt accounts so you can't say you're not a coward. π€
@Quick_Man Again, how have I been proven wrong? I always admit when I'm wrong. I will also as you say "cry" harassment and bullying if people treat me terribly. I would have thought that would be fair? π€
@Quick_Man "I've seen conversations Kevtris has had with Tommy Tallarico before and the man could not have been more cordial or patient."
I agree. That's how it started but when Tommy was rude to him Kevtris made it his mission to hang out on harassment and shame Discords. Meanwhile all I want is 100% compatibility on some Master System games.
Speaking of "pathetic behaviour" Quick_Man..."Why is it you always cry "harassment" and "bullying" when YOUR behaviour gets called out?"
What behaviour gets called out exactly? That I keep being proven correct about their behaviour? Interested to know. This should be interesting...
@Quick_Man Shows how little you know about the people involved then. I'm not a holdout but I will call out biased behaviour because I don't like to be gaslit about my experiences. If people want to harass and bully me because of that then that shows I was correct.
@RetroBro No, Amico has been mishandled. However, Kevtris spends time on drama instead making sure an Analogue product is working as it should. Not exactly a beacon of reliability. Can I just say though you had first hand experience using the Amico for stuff so I trust your judgement in that regard. Saying I don't have reasoning because I'm autistic though is unfair, it kind of falls into that idea that autistic people shouldn't be listened to or taken seriously.
By the way it's three games, not one! πI'm joking but the compatibility needs to be fixed on those. They're not bootlegs, they're proper releases. π
@RetroBro He hasn't shipped multiple consoles. He's emulated multiple consoles! If the guy is such a genius why aren't the Codemasters Master System games compatible with Mega SG. Call it out for what it is, slacking off on his part. Spend less time on harassment and shaming Discords and complete what you set out to do, right? That's not what a genius would do. Even I understand that. Also, what does being on the spectrum have to do with knowing common sense? That's kind of insulting not just to me but anyone else who's autistic.
@mjparker77 A lot of what you said is incorrect, especially it not being in production.
@Quick_Man Thank goodness we have an unbiased teardown of it. π
You could have had the original Amiga version or the CD32 version or the best version which is the 3DO port. Instead they went with the SNES and DOS ports which some of the weakest versions of the game. That's a real shame as well since Soccer Kid is one of my favourite Amiga games. π
@Deuteros Incorrect. 2002.
@X68000 Why the hate? It's a great game.
@HammerGalladeBro No.
@mjparker77 One of the best Amiga games in my opinion.
Friendly reminder Kevtris has had it in for Tommy Tallarico since their first interaction so this isn't an unbiased analysis. Also working reminding everyone the reason you can't play Codemasters Master System games on Mega SG is because Kevtris spends his days in the anti-Amico Discord where they harass and shame anyone who had interest in the console. His opinion frankly means *****. π
@Quick_Man Have you used one? Ask the people who have. π
@mjparker77 How was it a fraud. It was working, it played games. π€
@Honkshot I think the Amico missed the boat and unfortunately Nex has got in but hey, there's tons of cheap systems released all the time so there's obviously a market there for them.
Having played Shining in the Darkness not that long ago for the first time it's okay but what ruins it is the constant dungeon grinding before you can actually progress. Probably intentional as the game is ultimately quite short.
@gmar But to reiterate there were also games that were impossible to get through unless you put in loads of money because that's what they were designed for.
This is great news just in time for my birthday. If only it came with the two novels. Amiga version is the superior version so not sure why this wasn't the version to go with.
If anyone knows why I'm unclear why the game is listed as a 32 Megabit cart when the original MD game was clearly 8 or 16 Megabit. Does this mean stuff been added to this MD version? π€
@cawley1 I have to buy it...I...cannot...resist...
I agree though the Amiga original is the superior version.
@gmar Great point. The clear sign is if mobile is forcing you to pay to be able to make progress then it's not the same as arcade games. However, we must also remember not all arcade games followed your logic and some games were designed to make people spend money, almost regardless of skill level.
If it's not adapting the game's plot and it's creating its own thing it's not an adaption, it's an interpretation and we've had enough of those types of video game movies. π
@gojiguy Isn't he allowed to have a different opinion?
@climbingjudo Or complain about it.
@Exerion76 Now there's an idea. Do a poll comparing the best Gen AI Mega Man art to the boxart of the first two Mega Man games. That could be interesting.
