Yeah, you're right mate 😁

@slider1983
Hehe, I kinda expected you would 😉

That's impressive work, with the animation of Belmont and the overall look of the sprites. Can't wait to see how this turns out 😃

I just couldn't get into the 16 bit euro platformers, due to often mediocre level designs and controls.
Not sure I would change my mind, if I revisit them today.

@slider1983
Yeah, I bought GZT at the same time as I got the Mega CD. So I have huge nostalgia for the game. I'm a fan of Dwight H. Little's action films, from that era, so it felt cool to play the "hero", in one of his "movies". 😁

If we only knew, back then, how rare this game would become. Should have bought 10 copies 😂

@slider1983

Yeah, looking at the remaster, it's definitely shot on film.

It was common to edit on tape, back then, and sadly I guess they just trashed the negatives afterwards 😞

@slider1983

Found this:
"Cinematographic Process
Cinepack TruVideo"

But I'll take another look.

Why not re-release Road Avenger and Cobra Command instead. The remaster from the filmelements, for the iphone ports, back in 2009/2010, looked amazing.
And they feel more like actual games (though still limited), and the animation is epic 😁

@slider1983
Sadly Ground Zero Texas, was shot on video.

Great...the two worst FMV games in history.
There's barely any interaction.

Yes!! Exactly what I wanted. A new Intellivision.

Edit: Though disappointing, that it doesn't have a cartridge port...

@Quick_Man

SEGA did an amazing Choplifter remake, for the arcades and Master System.
We had Vic 20 games, getting enhanced remakes on C64, and then for the Amiga etc. Some were better, some were worse, like those horrible 16 bit versions of The Last Ninja.

So, yeah, this is nothing new.

I hope it's a Intellivision+, or a 5200+.

Hope it's not Jaguar, one of the worst systems I've ever owned. Only Tempest2000 and Iron Soldier was worth playing.
Alien vs Predator was overrated.

@FR4M3
That will never happen.
It would be incredibly expensive, to build a factory and starting to produce CRT's again.
They would never be able to make their money back.

@Blast16
Go for it!
You can also play 7800 games on the 2600+.
Recommend checking out the Activision and Imagic catalogue of games. The games are dirt cheap now

Definitely picking this up, for my 2600.
Imagine, if someone told me, back in 1982, that in 2025, I would still be able to buy brand new games for the console. 😱😁

Even the Taito logo on the cabinet, looks different.
The kid is looking at the camera, in the original picture, but AI makes him stare into the distance.

AI is just making ***** up, to fill in the gaps, in missing information...

Just preserve the original image, no matter how low res it is.

Loved the artwork. The boxes looked amazing.
Wish I had kept them all. The only one I have left, is their Barbarian game.

It's just insane, that people have to start a gofundme, to be able to afford an operation, in the US.

Best wishes Heineman.

Damn that's a brutal nostalgic flashback!
I've been trying to find this game for decades. Played it around 1981-1982, in a local videostore. But back then, I was only 5-6 years old, so I never knew the name or who made the game. For a while there I thought that I might have remembered it wrong or mixed it up with another game. Mystery solved, almost 45 years later 😂👍

@wizzgamer

People find new things to be "offended" by, every day now. 😂

@Sketcz
Thanks for the info.

Yeah this whole situation is just stupid.

Interesting that nazi flags in games, are fine, but not this?
Is the rising sun symbol worse than the Swastika??

Just put a warning on the box.

That looks mediocre though.

Looks interesting.
Found the demo here:

@The_Nintendo_Pedant
Yeah, it's insane how time flew by.
First time I tried Playstation, was in one of those demo units, that had Battle Arena Toshinden running.
I miss generational leaps like that. Going from 8 bit to 16Bit and 32 bit. Good times

@rob7979
That's correct. We played that same track for hours
Got lots of playtime from that Demo disc.

First time I played Wipeout, was on that Demo1 disc. I was blown away.
I was 19 back then, and now I turn 50, in three months. So, Yes, I feel old 😱😭🤣

Still got a big collection, inkl my very first one, that I got back in 1982 "Parachute". 43 years later, still works like new.

Sold a few, back in the early 2000:s, which I have regretted for over 20 years now, since some of them are very rare now, like the Crystal Screen games.
But this week, I finally found both a Climber and Balloon Fight, so now only Super Mario Bros, is missing, in the Crystal Screen trilogy

I love how they succeeded to make such fun and addictive gameplay, with such limited hardware. Just compare this to the crappy Tiger handhelds, which was just confusing as hell, to play.

Recommend this site, if you wanna try the Game & Watch games ( and many other handhelds as well), though some of them aren't perfectly emulated (timing is a bit off), compared to MAME.

@w1p3out
Yep, and some have even stopped working after updates etc. Sure Blaze is sending replacements, if this happens. But who knows if Blaze still are around to handle that, 10 years from now?
It's why I didn't continue to collect more carts. Only got 4 of them.

@turboxray
Yeah what an abomination that was 😱🤣

Hope they keep their expectations in check, and don't make 500.000 units, where half of the batch, ends up gathering dust in a warehouse.
The C64 mini/maxi sold very well, but that was also sold at a much lower price.

I'm still a bit sceptical of how successful, this new Commodore will become.
But this is still a good start.

Give us an action packed Contra or Gradius show.

He's done a great job on those multicolored sprites. Gotta try this out.

Flooding the market with handhelds every day.
When will it end...

Been watching Game Chasers, since the beginning. Gonna miss him...
RIP Billy.

Great to see a retroarcade, that isn't 90% lightgun and driving games. These are proper classics, with endless replay value.

I hope it continues to be a success 😀👍

Must be hard today, to record an actual human voice, reading the script, instead of using a robotic sounding AI voice...

And this is so beyond overpriced.
Especially with the case being 3D printed, which you can see on the website, compared to the CG images.

I'm turning 50, four months from now, and I've been gaming, since 1979.

I feared that I wouldn't be able to play my old NES games, like I used to, for much longer. But instead, the last two years, I've been beating games, that I sucked at, back in the 80s-90s.

I just hope I didn't jinx myself, and I will be able to keep playing them, for 20-30 more years 😂

@Blast16
When it's finally finished, it's supposed to available for free.

Just re-release the original versions, in a collection.

@The_Nintendo_Pedant

Same here.
Don't understand why they went with Kiefer, as I can barely remember any dialogue from him.
Kojima or Konami probably had a hard on, for "24" at the time.

Played about 60% of the game, until I took a break, and never got back to it. 😅 Became too repetitive, just like most open-world games.
When it comes to the story, I only remember the opening. Metal Gear Solid 1, will remain my favorite in the series.

Wasn't the console supposed to render games in higher resolutions? Because what we see in this video (due to that aliasing flicker), seems to be the same low res as usual?

I'm getting that "Quick, fake a video now!!" feeling from this 🤣

Oh well, guess we'll find out soon...or in 2027-2028.

Can understand why is wasn't released.
There were plenty of these kind of puzzle games, being released on the NES, during those last years.

Back in September 92, I had seen Super Mario World in action, but didn't feel the rush to upgrade to the SNES. Until I walked into the store a couple of days later, and got to experience Super Castlevania IV. It was jawdropping, and the music so damn epic, like I never had heard from any game on my previous consoles and computers. I ended up buying a console and the game, that same afternoon.

Still today, it's one of my favorite games of all times, and my favorite in the series.

@Ristar24
Your old tapes will probably work fine.
I had a forgotten box of tapes, that had been sitting in the attic of my parents house, over 30 years. Through cold winters and summer heatwaves. And when I tested them, all of them still worked, with no load errors.

Those tapes are much more durable, than we thought. The tape drives, might need a new belt, but that is an easy fix. Give them a try, if you still have a working C64 👍😀

@slider1983
I think you mixed it up with the Intellivision collections?

Still today I replay those Activision games, on the 2600. Enduro and Beamrider are great additions to the collection.

I hope the release a "imagic" collection as well.
Which was made up of the other half of those amazing 2600 programmer's, that left Atari, to form their own company. Atari own their catalogue now, so shouldn't be hard to license from them.
