@iheartpizzallc I think you're on course for at least a very good game from what I've seen so far so well done guys! 😊

@Xerox1919 The impression I get is no one read the manual and just learned how to play the game by playing it which is mostly what manuals were made for: instructions. But it's great to hear I'm not the only one who liked manuals.

I get it's annoying having to cut material because of region languages, I was half joking. They probably should just have made the manuals bigger for PAL users or offered more regional variants since some games did they regional variant releases.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant I thought I was the only one... 🤣

@SegaAges I still think this might make a few people at Nintendo upset. 😂

Well we saw Spyro on N64 so I guess it works both ways. 😂

@hste I wonder if they've stopped grifting off the Super Sega debacle?

"We'll gladly put [it] up against any fighting game ever released for the MD"

Bold statement. We will see...

"and one of the great pleasures of buying a new game was that time spent in the car on the way back from the shop, leafing through said manual to scrub up on things prior to booting up the actual product when you got home."

You could have fooled me! My understanding is most gamers ignored the instructions, probably why developers eventually abandoned manuals and included 20 minute tutorials.

"while games released in Europe and other PAL regions were cursed with instructions that came in multiple languages,"

Oh no, not multiple languages! Heaven forbid people in other parts of Europe can read instructions in their own language. 🤦‍♂️

@willstancilfan Probably both. 😂

I always imagine Spyro being ported to N64 so cool to see someone do this.

@JJtheTexan Harsh and not really true.

@MARl0 I'm a fan of some of Acclaim's output. I'm not one to write them off.

So everything is more zoomed in? 🤔

I like the fact this new game has a variety of locations unlike every Mega Man game that looks exactly the same.

@Eocene84 I think if they want to do a good job they will need a bigger budget. I thought Rebel Assault 2 was shot on film but I've learned it was shot on video, so the same could have happened to Jedi Knight. Even still, they'd need to locate the video masters or dallies. Hopefully Disney can help out a bit.

@MysticWangForce If they want to do a full remaster it would be a lot of work and it would look weird adding new graphics to then contrast that with grainy FMV with low res backgrounds.

I do hope it gets a proper remaster but I can think of lots of other games that would probably be easier to remaster.

@MysticWangForce @Eocene84 It's a HUGE undertaking, that's why. It's not just the fact they'd have to recreate all the levels. The negatives or video for the FMV would need to be located. Then the low res backgrounds for the FMV would need to be redone.

It's a lot of work. If they do that I will be very impressed.

@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.
