@GrimLocke You read a lot and gain nothing. Thanks for turning this into politics and threatening someone in the retro scene, it's all you ever seem to talk about when you comment. π
@cdog555 I suppose a wider platform release could get WB excited but it might not be enough. I really am not a fan of Piko Interactive's off brand re-releases.
It did leave some impression on me. Whenever I visit the website Gizmodo I keep thinking it's a website dedicated to the Gizmondo. Thanks Gizmodo! π€¦ββοΈ
I can't say I'm surprised considering how little they care about their history. I mean do Sega today even remember they made the classic Master of Darkness or Asterix? π
I don't think in the comments have played the game. I'll have to turn this back on Austin Grossman and ask if he's played his own game. Yeah, AI is seen as bad in the game however the game encourages the use of augmentation and using AI to lead a revolution. Look, you can criticise Musk all you want but it's incredibly difficult not to misinterpret Deux Ex when the game is pro-AI and pro-augmentation. It's a necessity in the game and made it what it was. π€¦ββοΈ
@Leuke This is indeed true by the looks of things.

Re: ModRetro's M64 Could "Replace MiSTer FPGA", Says New Report
Those are bold claims so I hope they can back them up.
@1040STF I mean if people want to pay higher prices for less that's up to them but the tech on this is supposed to be superior.
Re: "We Were Blown Away" - Belfast's First Retro Arcade Opens Its Doors
If it has retro consoles it could bring in more people. I find however that we need more arcades in London.

Nah, I don't think I'll go for this. π
Re: "Amiga Lives!" - Apollo A6000 Promises To Pick Up Where Commodore Left Off
What a great idea to base it on an Amiga that doesn't have a keypad. Seriously... π
Re: Sir Noggin Is A Colourful Platformer Inspired By The Sega Master System & "The Glorious 8-bit Days"
Looks quite nice although the real test would always be if it can be put on a SMS cartridge.
Re: "I Still Think The Virtual Boy Was Probably Just Too Ahead Of Its Time" - Japanese Developers On Nintendo's Most Infamous Flop
There's no getting away from the fact it was cumbersome and not practical to use.
Re: Edia's 'Earnest Evans Collection' To Launch In Japan This Year For Nintendo Switch, PS4, & PS5
Steam when?
@KingMike Yeah, PAL missed out on it.

Re: Taito's Early Lemmings-Like Construction Game 'Steel Worker' Is Coming To Arcade Archives
@HammerGalladeBro Looks very similar.
Re: Castlevania-Inspired 'Spine Lasher' Is A "Megavania", Not A Metroidvania
I hate the term 'Metroidvania'. Again, it shows a lack of knowledge by mainstream gamers.

Re: 40 Years After It Launched, This Fan-Made Remake Has Given Us The Ultimate Way To Play Super Mario Bros.
@cawley1 Not a fan of the movement. It's probably why I took to Sonic.
Re: Sega Takes Aim At Mario Kart By Recreating The Infamous Genesis "Blast Processing" Commercial From The '90s

Re: These New SNES ROM Hacks Aim To Make The Super Star Wars Trilogy A Whole Lot Fairer
Maybe I can get through the games now. The spike and bottomless pits is still a concern for me though.

@Cyber_Akuma Yeah I don't get that comment. π
Re: "Reject This Ugly Husk And Play The Original" - Panzer Dragoon II Zwei Remake Isn't Going Down Well With Fans
32 bit games especially need remakes or remasters so this might be needed.
Re: Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis Is Reimagined As A ZX Spectrum Text Adventure
That's pretty clever of him and I good way to port it. π
Re: Nintendo Wii Games Are Finally Getting RetroAchievement Support Next Year
I really hope they sorted out those Lemmings SNES achievements I reported. Impossible to complete and need to be taken down.
I really wish though that RA focused on earlier platforms missing like the ZX Spectrum and Amiga. Not sure why those are missing. π€
Re: 40 Years After It Was Cancelled, This Ambitious Scooby Doo "Computer Cartoon" Could Be Resurrected
This looks amazing for the tech but they need to get Hanna-Barbera onboard. No one wants an off brand version of this because then what's the point?
Re: "The Creative Cauldron Of Nintendo Is A Bit Of An Anti-Climax" - 35 Years Ago, The BBC Visited Mario's Birthplace

Re: 40 Years After It Launched, This Fan-Made Remake Has Given Us The Ultimate Way To Play Super Mario Bros.
Probably the best way to play this flawed game.
Re: Sega Dev Kit Raid "A Preservation Disaster" For "Collectors, Archivists, And The Gaming Community"
It's not like Sega care about these things. Come on Sega, let people preserve them. Do it for Frank Cifaldi. π
@Carck Sega probably want to finish the job and destroy them for good this time.

Re: Limited Run Games CEO Obtains Rights To Several FMV Games By Night Trap Dev Digital Pictures
Does this mean Screaming Villains so no longer involved with the remastering of the games?
Also does any film exist for any of the Digital Pictures games? Was sad when my favourite Ground Zero Texas only existed via video tape.
@KingMike Probably, the cheapo.
@Lowdefal Your opinion but...wrong.
Jack you forgot to include Ground Zero Texas.
