@axelhander Funny tho without AI we wouldn't have video games, think about it? outside pong where it needed two people to be played, rivals/enemies/allies you name it, now all of sudden AI has gotten clever gaming people are thinking it's the end of the world...when it comes to copying people's work that's basically what a lot of humans did in the golden era of gaming, from artwork,sprites,music to ideas, it was the worst during home computer scene and the 80s. maybe we should just ditch gaming and computers and go back to good old board games, anyone up for dungeons and dragons?
@mjparker77 Properly don't help due to Hamster's pricing being expensive for each rom, love how they charge $15-17 for a 3D Namco game often with issues still and no online mode alot of these games were build rather playing with others Meanwhile a company like M2 would add online support or better yet actually port the game to new systems the SEGA M2 ports they done were some of the best, Fantasy Zone 2 getting a whole remake using the arcade board from the 1st game, then ya got the SEGA 3D Classics, again the arcade stuff being ports with new features to keep you playing meanwhile all Hamster do is stick the rom on a release sometimes with issues and call it a day, I love it how the stuff they did before like Mario Bros, Donkey Kong lack certain dip switches that change the difficult meaning your stuck whatever Hamster set it to rather letting you pick it is 'your' machine they added it to later release but never patched it in the older ones like I mentioned nor remove the message "do you want to connect to the internet?" No I just want to play some Mario Bros during a short work break I haven't got internet here a lot of their releaes are rather questionable sure it's nice to get some obscure games but at the price they charge with the lack of features hell I would love if they include the flyer or something to show the history of the game your playing, it just feels like playing a random rom especially with the lack of side art/boarders, these are both something you can get on Mame for free and other collections for better price, I used to love Hamster but honestly I just feel there getting cheap and saving my money for other companies that actually put the effort in, plus there's always cool people creating greater emulation for free, I mean why would I pay $51 for 1/3 of the games you can get on the Ridge Racer Collection for 360 for free? not to mention updating the emulation, online multiplayer support and even adding more games, I nearly bite for Ace Driver but $17 for one track, no online multiplayer and no music during the race is a rip off *and what I seen the driving controls are messed up well done Hamster lol I'm thankful for having the arcade version of Ridge Racer but really Hamster is just taking the biscuit now lol
