Being in limited retail defeats the purpose of what they're trying to do I guess.

Uh-oh...hopefully Sega don't get another raid in progress again. 😲

This is shaping up rather nicely.

This actually makes perfect sense to me.

Nice to see this get localised.

Sega is missing the boat not doing this themselves.

Not my thing but there are other Bitmap Books I need to get around to buying.

@KraniX The limited retail circulation of them seems very odd indeed.

@PopetheRev28 They're still getting big licencing deals on games though.

@KraniX I wonder if there's a compiled list somewhere showing all the companies that have done defence contract work?

@KainXavier What I've found is we're still supporting a company in some form that's done defence contract work, even indirectly. Motorola is another one apparently. Of course as listed above Google is used my almost everyone.

@dunk Make no mistake, they definitely wanted to save money by cutting corners but I doubt they know or care about regional voice actors they hire or keep tabs on their careers.

@KainXavier Ever play any flight simulators? Microsoft and Sega are into defence contractors. Most likely if you use anything Microsoft you're supporting them.

@KingMike I doubt they went to that trouble for localisation. That's a major problem as shown here but I don't get the impression the developers keep tabs on an actor or actress hired 30 years ago for a role.

@RG-Riven Was Blade Runner MVG? I thought it was but didn't want to say in case I was wrong. Yeah that was a rare disaster for Nightdive. It's like no one bothered with that release.

@1040STF I just think if they're going to do a collection that shows the history of a series then include all the games. For some reason the home computer and SMS versions of games are always missing.

Good news then. Hopefully at some point they can get Amiga back.

Not sure if I'm supposed to be excited? Yay I guess? Digital Eclipse's collections however have had issues with games included and that includes the MK collection.

@Martin_H Anything that requires me to solder anything I'm not tempted to go for. Looks cool though.

That's a lot of solid game credits so this game could be special.

@Sindayl To be fair they can't be expected to know every voice artist who's worked on the games.

"Furthermore, both Xavier and his 16-year-old son have mild autism, while his eldest son has Asperger's syndrome."

Aspergers and autism are the same thing. Aspergers is just one aspect of what someone with autism can have. Just needed to point that out.

Awwww, that looks so cute. 😊

@avcrypt What OS do you use? What search engine are you using to find things? It raises questions.

@avcrypt If you feel that strongly about defence contractors then you wouldn't support those things. I don't really understand the issue with people getting worked up here.

@KainXavier If you play Sega, Microsoft or flight simulators you are supporting defence contractors.

I never followed Game Chasers but anyone who brings people of all sides together for a hobby is great in my book. Rest in peace Billy.

@KraniX I have to keep reminding people of this, yep!

@sanderson72 I don't quite understand their reasoning but yeah no keypad makes not only arm rest an issue but doesn't allow all games to be played.

Instead of all this speculation I'd like to hear what's going on from Sega's side. Even if it's a poor statement they put forward I still want to know what they have to say about this.

@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. 😆

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.

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. 😆

What a great idea to base it on an Amiga that doesn't have a keypad. Seriously... 🙄

Looks quite nice although the real test would always be if it can be put on a SMS cartridge.

There's no getting away from the fact it was cumbersome and not practical to use.

Steam when?

@KingMike Yeah, PAL missed out on it.

Great to have Dolphin, well done guys! 😊

@HammerGalladeBro Looks very similar.

I hate the term 'Metroidvania'. Again, it shows a lack of knowledge by mainstream gamers.

@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.

@cawley1 Not a fan of the movement. It's probably why I took to Sonic.

This is hilarious! Good on them! 😂

Maybe I can get through the games now. The spike and bottomless pits is still a concern for me though.

"2x Invulnerability time after taking a hit"

Cool, considering the amount of enemies coming at me I'll be permanently invincible. 😂

I would love to see these games remastered.
