I think Japan should be more open to preservation. He shouldn't have to set up another office outside of the country.

Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't there footage from Star Trek: Voyager that played on screens at the place?

@KingMike Yeah Australia is weird that way. 😂

Wow, Codemasters really didn't take any prisoners making the cheats a form of DRM. 😲

That's very helpful for the homebrew scene. I hope it gets used more.

This is nice news! 👍

@Coalescence Karl is just a grifter and loves playing 4D chess. 🙄

"so it strikes me as rather silly to effectively remove two of them from active use in this way; the more consoles on the open market, the better it is for people who actually want to, you know, play these things."

Really? It's almost like people want to keep them as a museum piece Damien. 🤦‍♂️

@Ebb1993 Sega it seems don't like reselling their games.

Someone at Bandai Namco needs to hire this guy.

I love these flash carts, I wish I was richer to buy more of them.

I wish their updates added ports to games they originally ignored. 🙄

This is really impressive!

"I seem to remember that I smugly predicted it wasn't up to the challenge, but it appears I need to eat my words,"

The same could be said about a few things, yea. 🤔

@Saki-Endo The US Gold version would have been flawed but alright for the platform.

Good luck trying to get materials from going to VGHF first because as we all know America is the centre of gaming history. 🙄

This is pretty damn good considering it's homebrew. 😲

Looks pretty good!

He didn't technically found the company but he made it what it was by introducing coin operated machines. For that we should be grateful. A true icon in gaming, rest in peace David Rosen.

@Zeebor15 I guess if he has ties or can get the rights to something because he knows someone he'll release it.

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. 😆

Isn't that everyone?

@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.

@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 Yeah, NES carts are more difficult to find.

@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.

@Zeebor15 Sorry I couldn't resist. 😂

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???

Quite useful I must say.

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.

@Eocene84 Only due to ignorance which Nintendo fans and general gaming fans suffer from. 😉

Nintendo bias at it again. Metroidvania as a name shouldn't exist:

I had no idea this even existed. That's cool. 👍

With all these 'spiritual successors' coming out at this point E should just make a new Road Rash game. 😆

@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.

@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.

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.

Sega's continued big mistake is not making the Sega Ages line available for PC and other platforms.

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?

I still shudder when I remember the escort mission from Max Payne II. It stopped the game being as fun as the original.

Rest in peace.

This could be successful I guess. 🤔

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

Mario Christmas everyone! 😂

I wish the Mega Drive releases were more on brand.
