@Tasuki The big problem is some of the achievements need to be revised. Lemmings SNES achievements are frankly impossible and half of them need to be removed.
Wait until he discovers certain achievements don't activate and the waiting time trying to get them manually unlocked because person who worked on that game's achievements left some years ago. 😆
@Sketcz I learned as a rule growing up any magazine with the word 'Power' in it was pretty terrible. Sega Power, Amiga Power, they all did the above you said. It was crazy to watch.
@James-Bond Thanks, I might look into this. Does this mean the magazine today is less hard on games and shows more love for them?
@James-Bond "with a lasting legacy of a group of troublemakers that thought they were bigger than the magazine itself, and in the end had to be dealt with..."
I just wondered when this was? Sounds like the worst era.
@James-Bond Curious to know what the different iterations of the mag are by year and what are seen as the best ones?
@Sketcz Looking at those scores and it's certainly varied. Lost Eden is amazing, yet it scored so low. I never read the magazine but thanks for the heads up.

Well done, I can imagine this being released back in 1993. 👍
Re: "The Father Of Sega Hardware", Hideki Sato, Has Passed Away
He created my favourite games consoles of all time. Rest in peace. 😪
Re: Not Feeling Castlevania: Belmont's Curse's Art Style? Then Check Out Silent Planet
@Sketcz It looks really cheap and cheerless. Glad I'm not the only person who feels the same.

Looking very impressive.
Re: New Documentary Project 'Passport To Adventure' To Shine A Spotlight On Lucasfilm's SCUMM Engine
They need to focus on talking about porting the games to SCUMM, not the games themselves.
Re: "We're Getting Close" - Hyperkin's Much-Delayed Portable Genesis, The Mega95, Inches Towards Release

Re: Achievement Unlocked - This Free Service Has Changed The Way I Play Retro Games In 2026
@Tasuki The big problem is some of the achievements need to be revised. Lemmings SNES achievements are frankly impossible and half of them need to be removed.
Re: Achievement Unlocked - This Free Service Has Changed The Way I Play Retro Games In 2026
@Damo discovers Retro Achievements.
Wait until he discovers certain achievements don't activate and the waiting time trying to get them manually unlocked because person who worked on that game's achievements left some years ago. 😆
Re: 'Gordon & Daxter' Is A Ridiculous New Half-Life-Themed Mod For Jak & Daxter's Unofficial PC Port

Re: Sega Announces New Hard-Boiled Sonic Audio Drama, Featuring Team Chaotix & "Lots Of Saxophone"
@Bigmanjones Yeah those games definitely weren't part of the Cartoon Classics Pack. You got a good deal though. 👍
Re: Interview: "I Believed Fang Was Forgotten" - Former Sonic Artist Talks Batman, Design Changes, & Swapping Games For Vinyl Toys
@Gamecuber I never liked the name Fang the Sniper. I'm not sure why it was changed to that.
Re: Interview: "I Believed Fang Was Forgotten" - Former Sonic Artist Talks Batman, Design Changes, & Swapping Games For Vinyl Toys
@Gamecuber Was he never named Nack in the PAL version of Triple Trouble? That's interesting. That means the comic made up the name?
Re: "We're Finishing History, Decades Later" - Analogue 3D's Latest Limited Editions Are Based On Unreleased N64 Prototypes
Their consoles still lack complete game compatibility and they're bringing out more tat for scalpers. 🤦♂️
Re: Check Your VHS Tapes - You Might Be In Line For A Small Reward If You Can Find This Elusive 'Games World' Footage
Unfortunately I can't help as I never watched Games World but good luck John. I'm sure someone will come through in the end! 👍
Re: Interview: "I Believed Fang Was Forgotten" - Former Sonic Artist Talks Batman, Design Changes, & Swapping Games For Vinyl Toys
To me he'll always be Nack the Weasel.
Re: A Fanmade VR Port Of The N64 Classic 'Perfect Dark' Is Currently In The Works
Here's hoping it runs faster than the original! 😉

Re: Analogue 3D Firmware Update Brings 'Force Progressive Output' Option And Support For Switch N64 Pad
Mod Chromatic looks better though. 😉
Re: This New Web App Takes The Pain Out Of Setting Up Your Analogue 3D
A shame Kevtris is too busy on the Amico Discord to provide full compatibility to the Mega SG. 🙄
Re: Japanese Fans Are Getting A Ganbare Goemon Collection, And We've Never Been More Jealous
I bet they left out all the non-Nintendo games. 😂
Re: Washington Prime Is A New GZDoom Game Inspired By '90s Thrillers Like Heat, Cop Land, And Clear & Present Danger
It looks alright but they seem to be going more for Die Hard.
Re: DOOM Is Coming To Evercade
I mean it's been ported to almost every platform so why not? Having said that will it really offer anything new?
Re: "All Smoke And Mirrors" - Square Localisation Veteran Thinks History Is Repeating Itself With AI
@JJtheTexan Erm...maybe check the first comment? 😆
@MSaturn ChatGPT has its limits but it's proven really useful at times for me.
Re: The Latest ScummVM Update Could Be "The Biggest Release" Yet
Now that's more like it!
Re: "We Are Testing The Waters" - Newly Resurrected Digital Image Design Is Bringing Back One Of Its Classic Flight Combat Sims
I wonder if they did defence contractor work. 😆
Re: You Can Pick Up The Original Alone In The Dark Trilogy Now For Free On GOG
Oh yeah I got these.
Re: Sega Announces New Hard-Boiled Sonic Audio Drama, Featuring Team Chaotix & "Lots Of Saxophone"
@Bigmanjones Most likely your retailer. Do you remember the games you got with the Cartoon Classics Pack?
Re: Strong Museum Of Play Acquires "Comprehensive Collection Of Atari Materials"
@Eocene84 I thought they'd want to preserve their history.
Re: Here's Why Official Dreamcast Magazine Never Got A Proper Final Issue
@SegaAges I went from Sega Power to Sega Magazine. Thank goodness the latter was a better magazine. 😆
Re: Here's Why Official Dreamcast Magazine Never Got A Proper Final Issue
@SegaAges I never read the Saturn one but I read The Official Sega Magazine. It was alright but it wasn't great.
Re: "Built On Theft And Plagiarism" - A Growing Number Of Game Developers Are Sick To Death Of Generative AI
Ah, another AI rant by Damo. 😂
Honestly, AI tools are great for a number of things but game development really should still to real game development.
Re: New 'Fatal Fury: Trilogy Collection' Brings Together Three Classic Fighting Games For The X68000 Z
Wow, I wasn't even aware software for the new machine was being released. That's cool.
Re: New MiSTer FPGA N64 'Turbo' Core Delivers 17.5 Percent Performance Boost
@gingerbeardman I take it they get a lot wrong?
Re: The 32X Version Of Virtua Racing Has Been Decompiled
This should be call. Maybe the frame rate will be perfected.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Is Getting A New Steam Version "To Provide An Improved Gameplay Experience"
This will be the third time it's been available for Steam. I'm not sure what the changes are to warrant this? 🤔
Re: Strong Museum Of Play Acquires "Comprehensive Collection Of Atari Materials"
So does Atari not want them now? 🤔
Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@Sketcz I learned as a rule growing up any magazine with the word 'Power' in it was pretty terrible. Sega Power, Amiga Power, they all did the above you said. It was crazy to watch.
@James-Bond Thanks, I might look into this. Does this mean the magazine today is less hard on games and shows more love for them?
Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@James-Bond What years was that?
Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@James-Bond "with a lasting legacy of a group of troublemakers that thought they were bigger than the magazine itself, and in the end had to be dealt with..."
I just wondered when this was? Sounds like the worst era.
Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@James-Bond So 2004 up until a few years ago wasn't very good or was there a worst era?
Re: The Massively Controversial Barbarian Is Getting A New Fan-Made Port For Atari Computers
"Will Maria Whittaker come out of retirement for the cover photo"
When you say retirement you mean she's stopped being a psychologist? 🤔
Re: "Yes, It Was Elitist, And No, That Wasn't A Bad Thing" - EDGE Alumni On Why The Mag Is Still Going Strong, Over 30 Years On
@James-Bond Curious to know what the different iterations of the mag are by year and what are seen as the best ones?
@Sketcz Looking at those scores and it's certainly varied. Lost Eden is amazing, yet it scored so low. I never read the magazine but thanks for the heads up.
Re: Hewson's Puzzle Platformer 'Nebulus' Is Getting A Brand New Cartridge Release For The Game Boy Advance
Wow, that game is hard. Fun though.
Re: Anniversary: "Hail To The King, Baby" - Duke Nukem 3D Has Officially Turned 30 Years Old
Such a great game, one that hasn't been bettered with the sequels that came after. 👍
Re: Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon Is Being Unofficially Ported To Genesis / Mega Drive
Not bad at all. Well done!
Re: Gunbird And Rival Turf Are Coming To Polymega, Along With This Rare Arcade-Only Fighter
That Rival Turf collection looks rather nice.
Re: "The Fine Arts Were Always A Massive Grift" - Controversial Earthworm Jim Creator Goes All-In On Generative AI
@ckoerner That doesn't answer my question.
Re: "The Fine Arts Were Always A Massive Grift" - Controversial Earthworm Jim Creator Goes All-In On Generative AI
He's not exactly wrong. The problem he fails to point out is that AI is making it easier for anybody to think they can be an artist so we get slop.
@jesse_dylan Different opinions are nice! 😉
@Razieluigi "I love that these right-wingers will spend their days freaking out about immigrants taking their jobs"
Would you rather hear from left wingers? 🤦♂️
@ckoerner What kind of a guy is he? Generalising much?
