Re: Fan Translation And ROM Hack Site CDRomance Is No Longer Being Updated

One of the best Websites out there, it is just such a Service.
Sometimes it is really a Struggle to find the correct matching Rom to a Patch and even if i have a own big enough Library, those Patches are seldom for PAL Games (yep, i dumpred all my original Games).
And to Patch a PS2 Game can become a Science some times.

I know what you mean, there are so many coming out.
But i see it in that Way, everyone can have a Device that fits best.
Just a Question of how much Power should it have and the Formfactor.

I have the 351v and i really like the 4:3 Screen.
It plays nice up to PSX, N64 and Dreamcast are unplayable for my Taste.

That said, i don't need another one until it breaks, maybe PS2 Emulation will run fine at that Time.

Ah Source Ports are also a nice Thing on it, DevilutionX <3

Would say they made here the right decision and had a limited release in certain regions, as the market for it is mostly of persons that worked and played with it plus some that have curiosity.

I grew up with the C64 and even i have only a very limited nostalgia for most games, they just were unfair mostly (my four year old self isn't lying XP).

The Super Nintendo saved my love for Video Games, guess we are here in the same Fan Club XP

Is not having a PSU really worth a down rate?
Those little devices work with nearly every one that came around the last 10 years and often enough the USB Port of your TV or Monitor is enough.

I would put it neutral, as for some it is even somsthing positive, not having more USB Cables...
And in the end they put one in, that does not summit Data, only Energy :X

Some of the oldest preserved and most known books are just entertainment, see Homer.
But even if, you can learn much from that.
It seems not as obvious, because it is contemporary at the moment, but in 50 years, it will show much.
Be it the way people talk or write, the aesthetics, the music, the code used and the hardware... Or just how people had fun back then. Just look at the board game found in egyptian Graves.
And you do learn from games.
Be it problem solving, reading the environment, or tactics.
I learned how to manage money from Sim City 2000, also about infrastructure and needs.
I learned simple programming from Starcraft's level editor (if unit x in amount y is in zone z, than this).
By making maps for doom (dos) i learned how to manage hardware ressources, as it will just crash, if you have too much on the screen.
So you learn how to overcome such things with clever level design.

Re: Worms 2 Is Now Playable Again On Modern PCs, And Better Than Ever

"dodgy files from unknown sources"
Thats a bit dramatic
Mostly fan pages and many games have such fan patches on fan pages
But glad that there is a better patch now, the old one really wasn't perfect.
Worms 2 has some nice insane option, you can make every bullet of the minigun as huge with its impact as the holy granate

It is not a Masterpiece, but far far away from being awful.
I have played many Games on the C64 and Super Nintendo that could be called awful.
I even count the Ninja Turtles on NES as a very awful Game.

@MasterChiefWiggum
There were some Scenes that were bad, but overall the Prequels had many very good outstanding ones, be it the Battle with Darth Maul, the Pod Racers or the Colosseum Battle.
