@KayFiOS Their stuff was overpriced before the tariffs.

That's great news to hear! 👍

" but the price is getting a bump thanks to President Trump's infamous tariffs."

I don't believe that excuse, Analogue's stuff has always been overpriced, especially for people outside of the US.

So apparently it was completed a year ago and then he just vanished? I wonder what happened? Even with commitments he should have liaised with others.

I hope it covers the Power Play Cruiser joystick. That was an awesome joystick, the best for computer gaming in 8-bit and 16-bit.

He's correct. There was more improvisation back in the 80's.

Speaking of Dark Forces they're really going to run into problems if they decide to remaster Jedi Knight.

I hope they can also go out of their comfort zone and remaster games from other genres like point and click.

Rest in peace, he was an unsung hero more people need to know of.

Very happy to see this!

Well it it improves frame rates that's great because N64 is terrible with games running well.

@Daggot We keep wishing so I hope something happens.

"and diehard N64 fans will immediately notice that it lacks the iconic three-prong setup seen on Nintendo's original pad."

They probably had a mould lying around. Maybe it was too expensive to create a new mould to use.

Expect this to be supported for 8 months until the next Analogue console announcement. 🙄

@Saki-Endo Well the Amiga was released in the 80's but yeah the 1200 was released in the 90's.

It looks very much like a 3D printed toy. Nothing totally wrong with that but it looks a little unfinished maybe? 🤔

Highly impressive work! 😲

Rest in peace. Lung cancer is normally due to heavy smoking so that played a part but Rebecca's last post couldn't be truer.

I wonder if someone wants to setup their own arcade. 🤔

@Relikk That's true.

@turboxray Yea I mean if people are saying it looks like a Saturn game I'm not sure what to say about that. 😂

Future need to bring it back permanently or sell it to these guys.

@PKDuckman Was it?

Have to disagree. For all the stuff it adds I think the Mega CD version might be superior thanks to its audio.

@turboxray I kind of have to agree here a bit. There's a tendency to praise any homebrew Mega Drive game that gets released. I'm sure the game is pretty solid though.

It sounds like they took the level layout of Dark Forces and upped the challenge by 10. 🤔

Looks like Analogue has panicked a bit about the response to the delays and has decided to release it early...which means compatibility may not be great. 🤔

@Zeebor15 Why wouldn't he want to buy MobyGames. He can use it to advertise Atari while preserving history. A win for everyone. 👍

Awwww, this is so cute! 😊

Really for collectors rather than anyone interesting in actually playing them.

Would be nice if it took advantage more of the MD tech. 🤔

When it comes to single player games I use cheats and walkthroughs due to my poor reflexes and coordination. Besides, I play games because I want the experience, not the frustration so I appreciate the cheats.

@Kushan I agree!

@smoreon Cheats have been replaced with trainers anyway.

"The CEO feels that returning to past glories is "really not the objective" of the new Acclaim"

All ports of Bart vs Space Mutants in a collection please! 😊

@PinballBuzzbro They know exactly what they're doing with it, just not what people are expecting of them, did you not see the showcase video?

There's a massive problem in the way of doing something this which is support due to awareness. Will developers want to make a specific indie game work with this technology and with different upgrades to new tech to make homebrew games occurring a lot will this tech get outdated eventually? With console specific games developers know they have to keep to limitations but with homebrew developers they might not want to feel constricted by how the hardware of this console operates.

All's well that ends well. 😊

Quite an interesting what if.

First I heard Taito was Ukraine in origins. 😲

Just Japanese toys then?

I'm sorry but he'll always be Nack the Weasel.

This is really well done! 😊

@mjparker77 They block easily. I really like Evercade but they need to get away from allowing just one game or political view. I got banned for less worse than what other users have done.

@mjparker77 I was cheerleading Evercade over on their Discord but I said I didn't like the 2012 Tomb Raider game. They have someone there that buys the carts to destroy or throw them out of windows but me not liking a game they think is great was enough to get me banned. Ironically even though I didn't have the money to get into buying their products I was always supporting and praising them on their Discord.

They're very ban happy. They originally banned me from their Facebook page because I criticised the version of Soccer Kid they were putting out. They unbanned me once I apologised. If you don't have the same opinions as they do about society or entertainment you become a target so that's what happened.

@mjparker77 I don't tend to support people that have mistreated me. Anyway game prices will just keep going up on certain game systems.

I think Commodore International are probably legally in the right here since they own most of the actual company. I find it quite sad though there's the usual people not interested in seeing the company revived. Is it better for the company to stay dead and irrelevant? I don't think those people are fans.

@BodyLotion Agreed! Not sure what the problem is here, they should be uniting plus they're focusing on different products anyway.

30 years! Wow, that's some time. I do remember how awesome the original Worms was and still is.

While I refuse to support Evercade, this is a pretty good collection of Rare's games.

"had the company lost a vital court case back in 1983, we may never have seen either of these characters again – and, you could argue, Nintendo itself might not have become the powerful force it is today."

You talk about this like it's a bad thing? Joking, not joking, JOKING! (runs away from mob) 😂

@mjparker77 You tell me. You've been playing it? 😆

@mjparker77 What's Rise of the Robots got to do with Simon the Sorcerer??? 🤣🤣🤣

@mjparker77 It was an acclaimed game on release. The original is seen as a classic game:

You also talk about "horrible" logic when the game is pretty straightforward with its puzzles compared to LucasArts with its obscure puzzle logic solutions. 😆

This is a real technical achievement. Well done to those involved.

@JackGYarwood It looks like a port of the Game Gear version, not the Master System version. The Sonic sprite is a big giveaway.

@Santar I miss the original sprites. If they want to remake it going forward the Origins sprite doesn't fit the old game.

@mjparker77 Thankfully, very few people agree with your wild take. 😊

I would rather they remake 3-5. The original needs a remaster, not a remake.
