@Martin_H the only reason Ron Gilbert continued the story from the second game is because he was only involved in the first two games, not because 3 and 4 are bad games. Escape did get a lot of flak, but I never hear people speak badly about Curse.

(And while I did play Escape on PC and enjoyed it because of the humor, I did hate the controls but supposedly the PS2 version plays way better so if I ever replay it, that's the one I'll play.)

I feel like the developers behind projects like these are fully aware they won't be able to release a complete project, and their sole ambition is to become famous and get to work on a real project because I don't understand why they wouldn't just work on it in secret and release it as a fait accompli.

That's a weird way of inserting the cartridge. Is it sideways? Wouldn't GB cartridges stick out on the side?

I suppose a Russian pirate game is better than a pirated Russian game.

Could make for the cutest and most impractical keyring.

Dreamcast, the gift that keeps on giving.

I don't see the point in releasing an inferior version of an old game for a slightly newer system.

@KingMike it looks bigger

@Sketcz thanks! I'll give it a consideration. I realize you can't make a book tailored to my tastes, but I do have to say that games like Sega Rally, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, and Ridge Racer are worthy entries for such a prominent list.

Cool project. Unfortunately for me, it looks like it's mainly about the first ten years of that period, which is the least interesting period (again, for me).

@Ruka this show ignores the Xbox because it isn't Japanese, plain and simple. The OG Xbox had many great and interesting exclusives that they will ignore because of their ultra-nationalist sentiment, ironically many of which was Japanese, like Panzer Dragoon Orta, Crazy Taxi 3, Gunvalkyrie and JSRF, but also games like KotOR 1 and 2, and Halo.

That controller is beautiful. Like an SNES controller for grown-ups.

So they admit better, unofficial, versions exist.

@gmar because Sega is not what it once was.

I hate AI as much as the next guy, but these "this fanmade project uses AI" articles on TE are getting tiresome, I feel like every other article is like this.

LucasArts should've sent a copy of the game to Ubisoft with the note "now THIS is podracing!"

@Ruka yes, I recently ordered the M64. Look, it's fine if you want to buy the AES+, it's the hypocrisy behind Time Extension's boycott of ModRetro while openly promoting a product of an actual oppressive dictatorship I don't like.

@Ruka buy this and money goes to Saudi Arabia, a horribly repressive regime. I don't care what factory makes them.

@Ruka SNK is Saudi

So I guess we're giving the oppressing Saudi regime a pass when it comes to video games?

But ModRetro is still in the doghouse?

I'm sticking with the M64 instead.

And M64 starts shipping today, too!

Is this the N-Gage version or the GBA version?

Ironic if people buy the Super dock just to use it with their regular Mister setup.

@AxioMaxiM Dear Mother of God

A Super Famicom controller with American paint scheme colours? That's odd.

@Ruka no it can't. Its SCREEN can, however.

Pretty annoying to hide a game I want to play inside a game I have no interest in.

Sega did it with Yakuza, and I hated that too.

@KingMike I don't think the proprietary memory card was a factor why the Vita didn't become a success, PSP also had Memory Stick and Sony sold 70 million PSP's.

Sony wanted to do this all along, but never had the market share to get away with it. Gamers have given Sony that position, and now Sony can do whatever they please.

Obviously Q2 was the best Quake game ever. It did away with the Gothic influence and laid the groundwork for what we think of as a Quake game today.

I'm a sucker for both Sonic and clear shells and I don't mind the price tag, but no PAL version and it's a lottery if you get the nice glowing cart or not, this is a hard pass.

No Ugly Sonic, no deal.

I always thought the Doom OST was heavily inspired by Slayer.

At 500 dollars, this is insane. I might be tempted to buy floppy-style SD cards though, if they don't charge a premium.

That's probably good for the gander.

I already have a VM2, I have ordered a VMU Pro but obviously I need to have one of those white shells. It's just a shame shipping is more than the cost of the product.

In other news, the M64 will be launched on July 28th. Too bad we won't see anything about that here.

@_Ex_ the Gameboy game should've been called Little Cock.

What games were ported to Playstation by that team of Chinese pirates?

Two sites I regularly visit, that have yet to be mentioned here, are RetroRGB and The Dreamcast Junkyard.

And a YouTube channel that is pure feelgood is Sega Lord X. I really appreciate his very subjective takes on primarily old Sega games and stories from way back when he originally bought and played the games back in the 90's.

It might match the sales of Kinect and Playstation Move, though.

@Reechard please tell us more.

How come new homebrew games for the Neo Geo still cost an arm and a leg? Surely the cost for making a cart has gone down since the 90's.

Personally, I'd love if the Neo Geo finally got an Outrun / Chase HQ type of racing game, would love to see what that would've looked like.

What's the difference between the "Pro" and amateur versions of this app?

With today's consoles lasting seven + years on the market, it sure is crazy to think that in the 90's, console manufacturers had almost yearly releases of new consoles and addons.

@SUPERSEGA-V3 have you returned the money to all the people who pre-ordered the SuperSega?

"The MiSTer interview isn't exactly eye-catching", you probably meant interface.
