slider1983

@-wc- I remember PC Format used to have a female on their cover until around 2005. I think it's after we saw the decline of the magazine until it was cancelled.

@Quick_Man In another universe sure.

@Quick_Man But you cannot ignore the fact that things have changed and society has got more woke.

@-wc- "we "lost" it because roughly 50% of the gaming population is female, where it was a sweaty, undersexed boys club in the 1990s."

I mean that isn't fair. That stereotypes gamers in the 90's while ignores the fact there were women back then who played video games.

@Sketcz The cat is out of the bag. Casual gamers will most likely fall for this and think it's real. But then...they probably think there was a gaming crash in 1983 worldwide. Again this is to promote nostalgia and the link which Damien deleted is a comparison of what gaming magazines would be like now compared to back then in extremes.

@Exerion76 There were a few video game covers and ads that got people into trouble even back then.

@Quick_Man That's not drivel, that's fact. So what's your point?

@-wc- These woke people I see online are beyond pathetic. See how it works? What a weird take and stereotyping of 90's gamers.🤔

@Damo Of course there's going to be people who think those are real but if we're talking about ignorance there's also people who are unaware the Master System exists so those are the kinds of people who are going to think those AI ads are real. 🤷‍♂️

@Damo I thought they were pretty funny. A great comparison to what we get now. But yeah they are to promote nostalgia, that's obviously clear.

That looks pretty cool.

A collection of the games would be nice.

@NUBiness I appreciate Marvel being faithful to their own canon so much.

File this under "I don't care". It ported the game, it didn't handle the creative side. The backbone is done, now people can perfect it.

@Peteykins If 40 pages per book it's not going to be too costly and needing an extended amount of effort.

@ojisan That's what I mean. A lot of promises without any elaborating.

Most likely PC Engine or Jaguar.

@Reko @BLAZINOAH No way are they doing Mega Drive. Sega would have to have personal involvement and so far they haven't budged a bit on publishing old hardware.

AI or real it was very generic but then a lot of what Sega promise sounds generic without details that make sense.

"and my pick for the best Aliens game (assuming we’re saying Isolation is the best Alien game)."

Not all of us. I find is very overrated. Colonial Marines gets lots of flak but that's more because of the AI. The game is pretty enjoyable anyway.

Yeah because Mega Man isn't fiddly enough on an NES. 🙄

I actually don't see the point of this.

I actually don't see the point of this.

@X68000 Since TE is happy covering the Neo Geo I think they'll at some point mention this.

@joey302 They collaborated with WB on Blood Fresh Supply so it's not impossible.

@Johnny_Arthur Good point.

Those puppets wouldn't last forever. Reminds me what happened to the original movies TMNT animatronic suits.

A remaster would be cool but people would love a sequel as well.

@Johnny_Arthur Rare is still around.

So this would have been like an off shoot of Carmageddon then... 😂

Now if can just get the rights to Amiga. 🤔

I agree it's a shame most of their games were exclusive to Nintendo.

@Poodlestargenerica I got that reference! 😂

It's great they're covering these games but I also think it's important to cover the more obscure games released for the Amiga.

I think there's room for both or maybe they need a bigger company.

I had a feeling it would happen pretty quickly.

I mean he's one to talk! 😂

Always nice to see emulation improved in retro gaming.

@GauBan Yeah I guess we shouldn't rely on one source for news.

@GauBan I mean my point is either cover everything or don't cover anything. But I agree, we can pick and choose what to buy ultimately if we know it exists.

@GauBan Probably. Most companies are problematic but TE doesn't mind covering them.

@aikon82 Yep and that list far extents past SNK and ModRetro. It would make sense just to cover everything.

@MegaJ It's like you've ignored every comment here. It's the lack of consistency that is the issue. 🤦‍♂️

@aikon82 "By doing so you’ve left yourself open to criticism when covering other companies or products with controversial links to states or people."

It's quite a long list of companies by the way.

Sega really need to concentrate on their Master System game IPs like Asterix and Master of Darkness.

@ihaveallthecoins If they bothered publishing homebrew games that would be nice instead of whatever that's supposed to be last week that is supposed to be a MD game.

@Azathoth They literally could have released a Shining Force game had they handled production costs themselves! It's so frustrating. 🤦‍♂️

I'd love to see a current list of IPs they have the rights to now. There must be a lot. 🤔

@KGRAMR That could be tricky but since Nightdive worked with WB before it's possible Atari could purchase Atari Games catalogue.

Fair enough, the revised campaign might do better.

That's a fair compromise.

Great system by the looks of it. Also the ModRetro M64 deserves attention as well. 👍

So you can jump around on the rug shouting "heavy machine gun"? 😆

@h3s I completely agree with all of this.

@Fanboy_Destroyer Exactly all this.

@Tasuki Blaze could be okay if they were nicer to their fans. Personally if you buy Evercade, Neo Geo, ModRetro, anything from any company it's going to go to someone with a shady background. I try not to think about it otherwise I wouldn't purchase anything.

@GordonBennet Well that's good for you but unfortunately everyone isn't in the same position.

@Guru_Larry Ah I love those days. 😂

@SP1SCM I mean I got banned for not liking a random game and coupled with my lack of not owning the products made me a target there. Really, Blaze need to sort out their Discord and stop with the double standards otherwise their negative reputation will continue.

@GordonBennet "and complaining about being banned from a discord is peak sad-person energy."

It is sad person energy because it's completely unacceptable! You expect people to be happy they've been banned???

@SP1SCM No I agree, ideally they shouldn't ban anyone but it takes a couple of disagreements for people in the Discord to complain that I shouldn't be there since I don't own the products and the mods will oblige, in that case it was Pete I think? The fact they do it for people who own the systems and games is unacceptable.

@SP1SCM That sounds like them. I mean from a business point of view I get why they'd ban me since I don't have the money to buy their products but I loved what they do so why get rid of me? It's worse when you take into account they banned a prominent fan, someone who unlike me bought a lot of their products.

It's just not a good look.
