@h3s Why weren't you allowed in the shops? Did you have relatives who had low immune systems?
For Mega Drive at least Sega tended to only have high prices for their big titles like Eternal Champions and Streets of Rage 3 going for £50. Power Strike 2 is quite a difficult game to get hold of so I'm not surprised you had trouble finding a copy. Also, The Ninja was never released on card. It was always just a cartridge. It was an earlier title so might explain why it was cheap. I really never expected SMS games to be priced above £39.99.
@Gamecuber To be fair it's harder to spot them because everyone threw their boxes away so you mainly find carts. Mega Drive games could get pricey from £39.99 to £49.99 but SNES and NES games were general very expensive...for some reason.
@PKDuckman Yeah. I think if Sega start republishing their games it should be with the Sega Ages versions and those should be available on different platforms.
I really had hoped Sega would stay in the console business. It seems like a lot of these people at Sega didn't really know how to utilise their success.

Good luck trying to get materials from going to VGHF first because as we all know America is the centre of gaming history. 🙄
Re: Sega Saturn Just Got A New Miami Vice-Inspired FPS, Vigilant Paradise
This is pretty damn good considering it's homebrew. 😲
Re: Roguecraft DX Is Coming To The Amiga, Mega65, And Game Boy Color
Looks pretty good!

@Zeebor15 I guess if he has ties or can get the rights to something because he knows someone he'll release it.
Re: "Limited Run Games Has Been My Life For Ten Years" - Josh Fairhurst Announces He's Stepping Away
Well, the company at this stage can't get any worse so maybe it's for the best.
@GrandmauL ...and got backlash as a company for doing that so well deserved. 👍
@Quick_Man Bluecry is that way dude.
@Eocene84 That's a very left wing viewpoint to take. 😉
@Zeebor15 "Same reason he bought all those FMV games personally, rather than on Embracer's dime"
Some of those FMV games are actually pretty good.

That's great, until you fold it the wrong way and accidently break it. 😆

Re: How The NES "Defined The Home Video Game Industry As We Know It"
@h3s I tended to go to Wimbledon market although there was a few stores here and there I went to that had Master System games like Argos.

Re: How The NES "Defined The Home Video Game Industry As We Know It"
@Gamecuber Yeah, NES carts are more difficult to find.

I mean I know Damien doesn't want to mention ModRetro but this really sounds like desperation. 😆

@BLAZINOAH Sssshhhh, we're not allowed to say that name here. 😂

@Zeebor15 Atari''s still a thing???
Re: Pre-Orders For The SN Operator, Your Next Essential SNES Accessory, Open Today
Quite useful I must say.
Re: How The NES "Defined The Home Video Game Industry As We Know It"
The same repeated, boring perspective by the VGHF as though NES ruled everywhere, where it didn't. Yawn. 🙄
@h3s Games for SMS were on average £29.99. It was easier to find SMS games than NES games in the UK.
Re: Who Created The Term "Metroidvania"? Gaming Historian Critical Kate Tries To Find Out
@Eocene84 Only due to ignorance which Nintendo fans and general gaming fans suffer from. 😉
Re: Who Created The Term "Metroidvania"? Gaming Historian Critical Kate Tries To Find Out
Nintendo bias at it again. Metroidvania as a name shouldn't exist:

I had no idea this even existed. That's cool. 👍
Re: Road Rash Is Getting A Spiritual Successor Called 'Bash Moto'
With all these 'spiritual successors' coming out at this point E should just make a new Road Rash game. 😆
Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived
@Guru_Larry I had never used a Quickshot before. It was sold to me with an Amiga. I never used it after that. 😂

@Lanmanna Yes.
Re: "I Was Strangling Both M2 And Myself" - Sega's Yosuke Okunari Recalls The Painful Relaunch Of The 'Sega Ages' Series
@PKDuckman Yeah. I think if Sega start republishing their games it should be with the Sega Ages versions and those should be available on different platforms.
Re: "They Lied" - New Research Casts Doubt On Analogue 3D Accuracy Claims
Well don't expect it to get tons of updates for compatibility, this is Analogue after all.
@Martin_H They said the same about the Mega SG and look where we are. 🙄
@BionicDodo That's how the algorithm works.
Re: "I Was Strangling Both M2 And Myself" - Sega's Yosuke Okunari Recalls The Painful Relaunch Of The 'Sega Ages' Series
Sega's continued big mistake is not making the Sega Ages line available for PC and other platforms.
Re: Here's How To "Fix" Knuckles' Chaotix, One Of The Most Divisive Sonic Games Of All Time
The tether system is what gave the game its identity. This mod kind of makes the game pointless.
@StyrofoamCup I honestly don't see the problem as well. Why did it need to be a 32X Sonic game?
Re: "I've Never Seen A Review Asking For More Escort Quests" - Fallout's Creator Comments On Why Escort Missions Are Rarely Done Well
I still shudder when I remember the escort mission from Max Payne II. It stopped the game being as fun as the original.

From Damien's review this sounds amazing. Now if Commodore could get the rights to the Amiga I'd be all over that.

Kind of a shame they can't do a deal with EA for the F1 licence.
Re: Wolf Team's Dinosaur-Themed Pinball Game ' Dino Land' Roars Onto Consoles & PC With New "Restored" Edition

I must be living in a different universe, this never got a Euro release?
Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived
@Guru_Larry I tried a Quickshot once. It was unplayable when I used it for The Lion King.
Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived
@Guru_Larry Disagree, Powerplay Cruiser is frickin awesome. Now if they re-released that I'd be all over it.
