@-wc- yes i have the same feelings, haven't played the Saturn, Snes, Neo CD & others in a while. Well not the original hardware anyway. Hopefully when switched on they fire up. Played my Vectrex the other day still running, but I fear it might die at some point. Emulating Vectrex doesn't come close.
Always wanted a PC-FX, love the look of the system. I do think the system had a lot of potential, especially in upgrading. Unfortunately never got the chance, the only real kicker for me was no backwards compatibility with the original Engine.
I really like the idea of this system, especially with physical carts. That's why I like the evercade eco system. Yes i know its still different before anyone starts. But this gametank system could deliver some brilliant new games we might not see anywhere else. Hopefully more shmups for me
Yes downloaded demo to steam deck this morning. Its a tough one, im not sure what to make of it. Part of me thinks the devs wanted to keep it as close to the original as possible with a lick of paint. Or didn't have the budget to take it any further. Unfortunately classics like this dont get the love they truly deserve. If Sega really funded projects like this properly, then maybe we would see a new Panzer with incredible new visuals & gameplay. As it stands I'll hold judgment to the full release.
Well i had my Earthion Switch copy along with the Earthion controller. Both brilliant. I also have a Megadrive bootleg cartridge & Steam deck download. Will definitely be getting this strictly limited Megadrive edition, this is what I really wanted in the first place.
Yes the CEX in London was incredible, the basement was like an aladdins cave for import retro gaming. When I visited London, that was the high light of the trip. Hoping to pick up some gems for my collection. Unfortunately those golden days are long gone.
Looks promising, personally it'll have to be good to beat fast fusion. Absolutely love this game. Prefer it to wipeout, only Fzero X & GX are the best.
Great to see the Snes getting some new titles, which it deserves. This looks great along with Copperstorm. Would love to see something like Earthion built from the ground up for Snes.
Always wanted a Sharp x68000, but the price of these systems are ridiculous. When this X68000 Z was announced i had high hopes. But as it will never see the light of day in the UK. The price of this thing & the games isnt much cheaper than the real deal.
We need more X68000 & MSX2 releases or remasters, especially for Switch 1/2. Personally would love M2 to bring SPACE MANBOW over to modern platforms from the MSX2, amazing game.
Would of bought the new VB for Switch, but i refuse to subscribe to the Nintendo online service for the privilege. All that's created is scalpers buying em up & ripping gamers off!!
@metaphysician yes I get what your saying, I also have a Steam deck. But I still believe there is a possible market for these foldable screens in the future. And if anyone is likely to bring it mainstream Nintendo is a likely candidate. Hey I could be wrong but its a thought.
@metaphysician yes & no, i have a Switch 2 personally the price really isnt that bad when compared to the likes of the Steam deck & other handhelds. Im sure once someone starts with these foldable screens like the one in this article others will follow.
As well as having an original Snes, I have a retro freak console. Which does the same thing, I can play my original carts or dump them to SD card. Even better you can then unplug the little console away from the cartridge system & take it on the go.
@PopetheRev28 yes certainly pushing the Megadrive to new heights. Earthion is another example of amazing coding. With regards to Nintendo i love the Snes also. I sure the Snes could do even more now, in the right hands.
