@sdelfin yep totally agree 👍

I'm still in love with the 16bit tech, what an amazing article. Love this site.

@RetroGames totally agree with you, especially on the cpu side of things. The Snes sometimes gets a rough deal with some with regards to slow down. Never bothered me that much. But when you look at games like Rendering rangers, Space Megaforce, DK series, Macross, no extra chips in carts these games are rock solid, proves that a lot of devs were lazy in there programming. Dont get me wrong I love the Megadrive as well.

If your a retro gamer, especially from the Snes, Megadrive era you'll know the importance of having a Scart setup. Especially having a Jap/US console the difference between pal was night and day.

This is amazing news, a proper old school shooter for Megadrive. Wish the Snes had some more new games. Cant believe there isn't a big indie scene for Snes. Maybe it's harder to exploit the hardware I don't know. But some new shmups for the machine would be more than welcome.

Both amazing games, love GBA zero mission as well maybe controversial but Metroid other M is one of my favourites.

Will definitely have to check this out:)

Again what an amazing article, personally I love these laser disc games, always remember seeing dragons lair, Galaxy ranger, Astron belt, Mach 3, for the first time just blew my mind!! Another laser game I love which wasn't mentioned called Inter stellar absolutely brilliant to play. Would love to see these type of games make a come back on modern technology but I know it won't happen unfortunately. The likes of Novastorm, Microcosm reworked would be fantastic. Or Starblade 2 on PSVR 2 !!

Absolutely love Castlevania, especially the originals from the Nes, Snes, PC Engine, Megadrive. Never really enjoyed anything after that. Never liked the Metroidvania design and the jump to 3D. Maybe it can be done properly in 3D in the right hands. Or just make another classic 2D Castlevania again!!

Love Gleylancer another awesome Megadrive shooter.

Great article, really considering getting a VB for this game. Always wanted to play it, love rail shooters, looks like a wire frame Starfox:)

Another brilliant article, talented guy for sure!!

This is amazing news, the retro scene just keeps getting better!! More reboots/sequels to the classics the better. Axelay, Last resort, Alpha mission 2, Gleylancer, next please 🙏

Really is about time Golden Axe had the same treatment as Streets of Rage 4. And Turtles, a new quality installment made with love, respecting the original classics.

Personally never liked the Xbox, the PS2 was king. The Gamecube was the most underrated console and Personally my favourite of that generation.

I'm interested in Asteroids deluxe, love the arcade cab with its amazing screen design. Sounds like they have done there best to replicate it. Cant wait to try it out:)

Got this gem on various platforms, my Atgames legends cab included:)

@Damo deserved 👏

@Damo totally agree my friend, what an amazing time in gaming, incredible to think so many of the best games ever have been created in Twycross. What history Rare have. Brilliant article 👏

What a fantastic article, what a Legendary company from Ultimate play the game to Rare. Will never forget the first time I played Donkey kong country on Snes. Still amazing!! I still can't believe Nintendo never bought Rare and not Microsoft. Would of been so much better for both companies in my opinion.

@NinChocolate yes I've had mine for years, certainly will never sell it. Still love playing Lords of thunder, Gradius 2, Soldier blade. Also have a Raspberry pi with PC Engine emulation. Dont like to run the Duo to much lol 😂

Brilliant article, absolutely love the PC Engine, luckily i own a PC Engine Duo R. Fantastic hardware and games.

Can't believe it's been 35 years, absolutely love this system, along with Megadrive, Snes, Neo. The best generation of consoles ever !!

Looks amazing, definitely thinking of buying the Megadrive mini 2 now just for this

Yes indeed love Llamasoft, would definitely buy a collection if it becomes available.

Ah well luckily I have the original cart version so still can enjoy the game the way it was originally intended.

Sounds interesting will be watching this one.

Lovely bit of kit, but I have an amazing mini pc that runs Atomiswave and Naomi games. So I will stick with that thanks.

Looks amazing will be buying this!!

Playing Star Wars Arcade trilogy, with my new Grs flight yoke it amazing!!

Looked like this had serious potential, but wouldn't expect anything less from Manfred Trenz. The guy is a genius, just look at Rendering rangers and you'll know what I mean. Wish Manfred would make a new Turrican or some new ip.

Brilliant story, Brilliant game, Brilliant developers, love Sega !!

A bit of Thunder force 3, followed by Allen 3 the Gun, and Sega Star wars arcade trilogy. Emulated amazingly on my mini pc. Thunder force 3 original tech though:)

Great news more 16 bit the better, would be nice to see Snes getting more attention as well. Would love to see some new games made for it.

@seffers yes its great with missile command, centipede, Marble madness. Lovely quality spinners as well for Tempest, and Atari Blasteroids which I love.

Great article, would love an original cab, but I'm happy with my Atgames legends ultimate. For the price it's awesome. With sticks, spinners, trackball , coinopsX loaded with all the retro goodness I love ❤️

Always remember buying Golden axe on Megadrive, absolutely brilliant. At last the coin op experience arrived in the home. Still amazing now. Golden axe, Thunderforce 3, Ghouls & Ghosts this was the Megadrive baby!! Awesome stuff. Regards to Death adder have it on Mame another arcade gem from Sega.

They look fantastic, certainly something I would like to add to my collection.

Thank God for Mame, for me game preservation is all about the Arcade scene. Just think about all those cabs, and pcbs that have been destroyed over the decades lost forever. Mame is a time capsule of preservation for loads of amazing stuff which I would never get the chance to play ever!!

Looks amazing, day one for sure!!

Love this site, especially these great articles digging through the archives of long lost games or games that never were.

This is great news, especially with the announcement of the Sharp x68000z as well. Always wanted both systems.

Legends of the Gaming industry, along with Nintendo.

Brilliant article, hopefully I will be able to bag the mini version of this amazing system. I have plenty of Sharp x68000 emulations on my Raspberry pi builds. Playing some of the games mentioned above is fantastic. Another great shmup to play is called Hell Hound, very Gradius in design. The only downside on the emulations I have, the stunning midi music tracks don't play unfortunately. Maybe the mini X68000 will sort this out hopefully.

Looks amazing, what systems will it come to. Love the love for the Snes and Megadrive. My favourite systems ever as well!!

@BulkSlash likewise my friend, always wanted one but way out of my price range. Hopefully it comes loaded with some of the best games. And fingers crossed they think of including the midi soundtracks that some of the games have. The Roland midi tracks on Castlevania chronicles are amazing:)

Looks amazing

@Action51 totally agree it was far from bitter. It was amazing. Deep down everyone wanted both machines. Personally the best console generation ever, and games. Unfortunately these times will never be replicated.

This does look amazing, pays homage perfectly to the original. Its about time Sega gave us a new Sega rally. Luckily I have a mini pc running the model 1,2,3 emulators. Being able to play Sega rally 1, 2, Scud racer, Daytona usa2 and many more is a dream.

Certainly a ground breaking release, again such an exciting time in gaming. Then came Starfox with the awesome FX chip. Just amazing stuff. The industry just doesn't have this kind of excitement anymore.
