Yep, you’re right, my mistake.

@Damo

Until he slept with Les Dennis’ wife 😀

You forgot the voice of Poseidon in SpongeBob The Movie: Sponge on the Run and Snuff Box 😀

@Serpenterror
I agree, though I do seem to recall an interview recently with ablaze, when Glover was announced and a question was posed about an analogue stick in the future, which was answered with something like “we’re considering/looking at it”

Certainly N64/Dreamcast and later life PS1 would benefit I’d guess.

Didn’t they announce more hardware was to be released toward the end of the year.

I suspect higher tier versions with more features, perhaps even a dockable handheld system is likely I’d guess.

Perhaps maybe even an analogue stick to cater for games on Giga carts that are from newer systems(?)

Anyone played this, looks interesting, I’m tempted.

@BradleyCresva

Wow, it’s like a high tech episode of Eastenders.

It’s a shame though, all their hard work and expertise will be lost amongst this commotion as it will divide resources and progress.

Can anyone clarify why there is so much drama around MARS, is it simply a competitive thing, or are there other reasons for such animosity?

I had this on a list for picking up (Mega Drive). Now with the news of the Neo Geo version I’m unsure whether to wait, late 2025 is a long time away.

I didn’t see Destruction Derby in that list of games, technically may not have been out exactly at release, but it certainly was long after release.

If I can find that sort of time I’ll try and watch.

Retrode > Polymega > now this

Yes to Dungeon Keeper. Loved this game at release. This is amplifying my desire for a Steam Deck.

@EarthboundBenjy

Thanks for the link. I should have read that before. I always wandered why there was a massive hole in their collections.
That is a real shame, and it’s come from Sega, not Nintendo, who you’d more likely suspect of these shenanigans.

@EarthboundBenjy

What’s the story with the Mega Drive book, I’d been holding out how they would make one, one day. But this now sounds very unlikely? I thought they had managed to make a Master System book though?

@Poodlestargenerica

Exactly this. They were a good step forward when the ‘Ultra 64’ first emerged. When I first saw an imported copy of Mario 64 and managed to have a go I was sold with that ‘new’ analogue control. But the graphics were great, and the softness/blur just became the signature style of the N64

Loved this show, perfect after school viewing. Totally agree with the sentiments regarding a modern day remake.

Surely a simple at home ‘room scale’ variant is easily possible whilst casting to a separate screen, perfect as a family/group game with VR (I realise the player wearing the headset shouldn’t really be seeing anything - as per the show).

@BionicDodo

I always hoped Analogue would release a Mega-CD add on, with the use of the CD Drive on their latest release I’ll hang on to some hope 🤞

Keeping a close eye on this. I don't own many old games, maybe x20 or so MegaDrive, x5 or so Mega CD, x10 PS1 and around x9 NES games. At present I only have the NES, which remarkably still works.

I've tried retropie, it's good, but still doesn't quite feel right.

I'm torn as to whether I should be interested in this, like I said, I don't have a massive collection. Confused, but definitely intrigued.

@AlexOlney

Perhaps if he wasn't repeatedly whipping it out of his pocket he might of done a little better in the race. Probably developed issues with his eyesight. I'm guessing Ayrton Senna wasn't 'gifted' a game gear.

Also, who was that child too busy playing prince of persia (probably) on his game gear, he couldn't spare the time to look up at the speeding F1 cars. I don't know the youth of (yester)day.
