What a joke and they moan about emulation!! The gaming industry deserves to be preserved, just like any other medium. Look at the archives film & TV have. Later generations will more than likely love to play games from the past. It should be there to be enjoyed & celebrated. Not just cast aside like rubbish. That's why arcade machines are cherished now & restored. Operators would just dump them when they no longer made money. I expect many wish they would of looked after them now lol. Long live emulation!!!
What a game, love it, have it on my Mame setup. If your into side scrolling beat em ups you'll love this. Fast action, great characters, brilliant sound!! Definitely a hidden gem from Konami that most probably don't know existed.
@turboxray yes i know i had one, i also have a Duo R with the arcade card. Probably been more easier to make a conversion of Magician lord for this setup. Considered not many own a SuperGrafx, yes the Grafx has a bit more grunt granted. But a standard arcade card version for Duo owners would be better.
Love the Vectrex, definitely the coolest & unique bit of retro tech out there. Such a friving indie scene. I bought a new game for mine last year called Vyrzon it's absolutely brilliant.
@KitsuneNight totally agree, thank God I can still play all the quality retro games. Today's gaming is mostly ***** really. If it's not open world soulslike no one gives a toss. Personally I'm enjoying Astrobot on PS5 it's stunning. Yet sales are dire in Japan & UK. If this fails the hope of anything similar won't happen. And regards to PS3 I still have mine, how easy is the SSD install?
@KitsuneNight yes I agree, personally the industry is in a ***** mess thanks to all the tech obsessed idiots. Always banging on about 4k 60fps raytracing, just enjoy the damn games. The PS5 pro is the result!! Consolea should be consoles, if they want that much tech buy a pc. I'm looking forward to what Nintendo deliver next to be honest, again they aren't worried about bleeding edge tech, just amazing games. All this aside that's why I retro game the most.
Yeah and looked what happened to that, the Snes & Megadrive still kicked its ass. Not on tech but games & that's why we buy folks. This mid cycle upgrade is a joke!! The true console model was/is an affordable system, nice tech, maxed out by devs in a 5 to 6 year span. If I wanted a damn pc I would buy one. Personally the industry needs to crash!! From all this corporate greed.
Can't believe no company has made an actual motorcycle handle bar setup. It's always the steering wheels that are damn everywhere. Surely a hole in the market somewhere. Bring back the Konix multisystem that system would of been revolutionary for the home market.
@Robocod yes I have the the Last Ninja games on emulation unfortunately they cut out all the loading. Which is good & bad. I wasn't sure either that System 3 still existed. I'm sure years ago they promised more Ninja games but they never materialised, unless I missed em lol.
The last Ninja still have the original C64 cassette version. These collections are great, obviously emulation. Unfortunately the loading music between each level will be lost. Still will be great though I'm sure.
@scottishwildcat yes it's funny how some exaggerate the load times. Most times I turn on my PS5 it has a bloody update. Or installing a game can take even longer.
Who remembers the original Scooby Doo game Elite revealed. Looked amazing but the project was canned due to hardware constraints. They were going for the Dragons lair laser disc gameplay. Unfortunately we ended up with a mediocre platform game. Would love to see the original project released on Speccy using modern tech.
Its great to see the Megadrive being pushed further. Really want the Snes to get the same love though. The system has more untapped power than the Megadrive. I have been reading about Super FX3, obviously an indie development, but it sounds exciting, 16Bit forever 😀
@KitsuneNight thanks for the heads up, obviously being early access, things are patchy then. Have you play polygon GP yet that's also on steam. But again no mention of deck compatibility.
@nocdaes totally with you mate, I play & buy more retro stuff. From Megadrive, Snes, PC Engine, I'm more excited for the new Megadrive game Earthion that's out this year or next. Most modern games bore me, can't stand open world, roguelike, demons souls crap. It's just endless & the same cut & paste stuff. The only modern release that's got me is Astrobot on PS5.
@Deuteros unfortunately the ***** show of the industry today. The big boys Don't care about the huge back catalogue of awesomeness from retro gaming. I agree with you though 💯
Love to see Rendering rangers, the amazing Snes game get a sequel. Not necessarily a remaster of the original. A new game with new levels, bosses etc could be something amazing.
@SuntannedDuck2 I totally agree with what your saying. It's just so annoying, especially when I look at VR. Easily one of the best games is Astrobot, yet Sony decides not to bring the new title to VR2. Then their's the content, rail shooters, gun games are the perfect fit. Just imagine a new version of Starblade from Namco or Silpheed from Segs, or a Starfox clone. These games have the potential to be incredible in VR the sense of scale immersion would be out of this world. But no its the same puzzle or fps games.

Re: Obscure Beat 'Em Up 'Metamorphic Force' Is This Week's Arcade Archives Release
What a game, love it, have it on my Mame setup. If your into side scrolling beat em ups you'll love this. Fast action, great characters, brilliant sound!! Definitely a hidden gem from Konami that most probably don't know existed.

Re: Triple Impact Is A Promising New SNES Beat 'Em Up
@RetroGames let's hope so, the Snes deserves some amazing new games.
Re: Neo Geo Classic Magician Lord Gets Tentative Fan Port To NEC SuperGrafx
Definitely looks brilliant, the only thing that will let it down will be the sound. The music in the Neo game is the stand out part.
Re: Think The NES Can't Handle Mode 7? Think Again
Very impressive, would be great to see a new shmup on Nes utilising this tech.
Re: "You Don’t See Sega Enough" - Sega’s Transmedia Boss Wants To "Elevate" The Brand
More Sega the better, but stop sitting on those amazing classics & bring em back. But quality not butchered rubbish.
Re: New EGM Compendium Project Announced To Celebrate History Of The Iconic Magazine

Any 3D game ages compared to classic 2D.
Re: Genesis Shmup Earthion Looks Incredible In This New TGS 2024 Footage
Looks absolutely stunning, soon as preorders drop I'm on it 👍

Already added to wishlist on Steam, hopefully it will run great on Steam deck.

Re: Fancy Owning The SNES PlayStation? You Can Now Make Your Own (Kinda)

Re: Data East's Gory '90s Brawler 'Night Slashers' Is Getting A Remake Later This Month
Yes not convinced by the visuals as usual. Can't beat 2D pixel art.

Re: The PS2 Is The First Console To Be Selected For Japan's 'Future Technology Heritage Registry'
Plenty more consoles/computers should be on the list.
Re: R-Type Shown Running On The Atari 7800
Looks brilliant, always thought the 7800 was more capable than all the commercial released titles.

@RetroGames yes mate looks very promising, if it comes to fruition remains to be seen.

Re: Elemental Master EXTRA Is A Fan-Made Update Of Technosoft's Mythical Shmup
Amazing game, can't tweak perfection.

Re: 'Perfect Lap' Is What Happens When Ridge Racer Type 4 And Auto Modellista Have A Baby
Don't like the art style to be honest, doesn't do anything for me. Polygon GP is more my bag.
Re: Sega's Spirit Is Alive And Well In DDI Rally And Super Retro GP
@KitsuneNight thanks for the heads up, obviously being early access, things are patchy then. Have you play polygon GP yet that's also on steam. But again no mention of deck compatibility.
Re: Sega's Spirit Is Alive And Well In DDI Rally And Super Retro GP
Didn't see this one, do i get for Steam deck or wait for console.

Re: Rare Region-Locked Classic 'Rendering Ranger: R2' Is Coming To PS4, PS5, Switch, & PC
@RetroGames again couldn't agree more 👏
Re: ININ Games Announce 'X-Out: Resurfaced', A Remaster Of The Classic Underwater Shmup
Hopefully more balanced gameplay.
Re: Anniversary: Gradius V Is 20 Years Old, And We Still Don't Have A Remaster
Very unlikely in this soulslike obsessed industry. Amazing games like this don't exist.
Re: The Game That Inspired The Term 'Roguelike' Is Now Available On Switch
@SuntannedDuck2 I totally agree with what your saying. It's just so annoying, especially when I look at VR. Easily one of the best games is Astrobot, yet Sony decides not to bring the new title to VR2. Then their's the content, rail shooters, gun games are the perfect fit.
