@jruasap And? Ever used anything by NEC? Sega? Martian Marietta? Motorola? What about 3D graphics and flight sims? All involved in defence contract work. Should we stop involving ourselves with those companies as well?
I take issue with this: "That has left a gap in the market for a wide range of options, from cheap Chinese-made emulation devices to higher-end alternatives,"
I mean how are they that different to something like this? Just because it's Chinese shouldn't mean it's not good quality.
@Sketcz It's a really good show. Well worth watching the entire thing.
Once again YT's automated system strikes again. No channel is safe unless it's a big channel with a lot of support from other YouTubers and fans. Customer service is pointless as well, they just read out a script and have no idea how YouTube actually works. I really think that guy should demand a reason for his ban. Happened to me once and they never gave me a response.
The problem is ultimately you're asking for people who have a limited amount of units to buy the game. If there was more units in circulation there would be more of a chance of the game being bought.
@smoreon As I said some update comparison would be welcome. Mednafen seems to be the go to. Do you know what emulator came out of that person who cracked Saturn emulation a few years ago?
Mike Rouse had a big hand in this game. It's what I remember him from. The annoying thing about recreating London is that I tried to drive home in the game but it didn't exist because they never built it. π

Re: The Company Behind 'The Spectrum' Is Asking Fans Not To Share Latest Retailer Leaks
I actually saw a review a few days ago from an American YouTuber who showed it off and reviewed it. Had no idea it was sent out early.
Re: Deadpool & 6 Other Delisted Activision Games Get Mysterious Steam Update

Re: Atari Is Releasing A New 7800+ Port Of The Miner 2049er Sequel 'Bounty Bob Strikes Back!'
Nice to see Atari publishing new games for old consoles. I wish Sega and Nintendo would take note.
Re: "Maybe One Day We Could Work With Nintendo" - Bitmap Books On Staying Small And Ambitious
I'm more interested in Sega letting them produce more Sega related books to be honest.
Re: One Of The Worst Mickey Mouse Platformers Has Just Got A Fan Upgrade
It's much more playable now. The Mega CD update is how it should always have sounded like.
Re: Bleem, The Company That Took On Sony And Won, Is Crowdfunding For The "Largest Retro Gaming Project" Ever

Re: Genesis Cult Classics El Viento And Earnest Evans Are Making A Comeback
Earnest Evans was weird with its gameplay and I can understand why it never received a PAL release.

@jruasap Why? What wrong has Palmer Luckey done?

Re: Piglet's Big Game Gets Compared To Resident Evil And Silent Hill, Starts Selling For Big Bucks
Heaven forbid a licenced game tries to break free from what everyone is expecting. π
@jesse_dylan I'm sure the game is absolutely fine if nothing ground-breaking. The PC version however is very different.
Re: Two Lost Sega Channel Games Have Been Found And Preserved
Hang on a sec...wasn't Chessmaster a PC game? Had no idea it got a Sega Channel port. Looks cool. π
Re: Epic Games Is Totally Chill About You Downloading Unreal And Unreal Tournament For Nothing
This is kind of sad in a way since it means Epic isn't interested in remastering or reviving the series.

Re: Blizzard Celebrates 30th Anniversary of Warcraft With Remastered Battle Chest

Re: Atari ST Shoot 'Em Up 'Wings Of Death' Is Getting A Jaguar Port
This looks awesome. What frame rate was the Amiga version running at?
Re: This Essential Genesis / Mega Drive Book Is Getting An Expanded "Ultimate" Edition
That's a shame things got cut. The original book was an enjoyable read.

A shame PAL Mega CD never got Night Striker but this is good news.

Re: Etsy Accuses Game Boy Publisher Of Piracy For Selling Its Own Games

This is a really nice story. Good on him.
Re: The Making Of: Wizardry, The Landmark RPG That Inspired Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy
I always find it amazing how loved and popular this game became in Japan.
Re: Check Out These Awesome Street Fighter Soccer-Style Jerseys

Re: Interview: Meet The Man Who's Upgrading SNES Doom With The "Super FX 3" Chip
@RetroGames 4MB would be I think 32Meg. Not too bad, weird they didn't use that storage size the first time around.
Re: Interview: Meet The Man Who's Upgrading SNES Doom With The "Super FX 3" Chip
Full motion video? They shot live action footage for this?
A shame it's through Limited Fun Games but oh well.
Re: To Celebrate 30 Years Of Saturn, A New Version Of Yaba Sanshiro Is Coming To Windows PCs
@WhensDinner It really all depends on game compatibility and how well each game runs.
Re: To Celebrate 30 Years Of Saturn, A New Version Of Yaba Sanshiro Is Coming To Windows PCs
@smoreon As I said some update comparison would be welcome. Mednafen seems to be the go to. Do you know what emulator came out of that person who cracked Saturn emulation a few years ago?
Re: 36 Years After It Released, There Are So Many New Genesis Games Someone Has Built A Site To Track Them All
@AJB83 I do like my conformity when it comes to video games. π
Re: 36 Years After It Released, There Are So Many New Genesis Games Someone Has Built A Site To Track Them All
Yes, many new Mega Drive games are released today...but only a few are on brand with their releases. ππ
Re: To Celebrate 30 Years Of Saturn, Emulator Yaba Sanshiro Is Coming To Windows PCs
I've seen people argue this isn't the best emulator and Medfen is. No idea but an article exploring which is the best would be cool.
