Hoping for more Taito this year, with Chase HQ, SCI, Operation Wolf / Thunderbolt begging

@RetroGames it’s a sh*te state of affairs. Even BMWs do Indicators on subscription. Mind you, that explains alot

I remember Turbo Outrun on the 8 Bit Computers. I had this on the Amstrad, and although it wasn’t a bad port, you had to wait for each stage to load. Then my friend showed me his C64 version, that had 4 stages loaded at once (no load times)
I was like…. You Bast**d
The 8 Bit Wars (Speccy Vs C64 Vs Amstrad)

For future Polymega Sales I get that those games will not be available, but for people who already purchased the Polymega how can they be deleted?

(Excuse my ignorance on digital purchases, but as an example, on Nintendo Switch eShop, if a game is no longer available, the game is not deleted from my library, or at least I have not experienced that. And I can re-download that game at any point, providing that the eShop is still open)

@Poodlestargenerica from that point of view I would agree. You are right about Outrun, that was shocking

@Poodlestargenerica I thought the PS2 version of Virtua Racing was awful. It looked nice but something with the car handling and screeching noise just turning killed it for me

@Jimgamer8 no worries

@Jimgamer8 I ordered in Jan 2022. I have to wait until end of Feb for my Base Unit (according to their latest shipping status), Yet you ordered after me, and you are getting it next week (I’m happy for you, but this is just another annoyance of Playmaji).

Excellent. Will be interesting to see what music it will have

@X68000 excellent list, loved Super Cars. add Venus Flytrap to that list.

These compilations are missing so much

@Damo I just got confirmation that my Ultra Module has been shipped. Although this is fantastic news and I am not knocking it, I don’t yet have a confirmation on the Base Unit 😂

@Damo how is the N64 Module? Very interested to know what the emulation is like

I echo the comment above regarding the Cannon Fodder music, but I guess it is for PC reasons. Still baffled to why the Amiga versions are not used in these collections

Would love to play the Saturn version with more that 1fps

I just see online in some YouTube Video comments that Atari now own 49% of Playmaji.
I don’t have a source or anything, so I don’t know how reliable these comments are.

Not sure why the delay in this update should delay them sending out Base Units / other Modules (assuming these updates can be downloaded).
Was hoping to receive before xmas.

I would like to see an old Mastertronic or Coadmasters retro compilation. There were loads of decent £1.99 games in the 8-Bit Home Computer era.
To list a few:-
Soul of Robot
Finders Keepers
Spellbound
Fued
Caves of Doom
Speed King

@romanista I am using my A500 mini for all things Amiga. (Not lucky enough to have a Pocket).
I also recently played Speedball 2 on my GBA. That is much more comparable to the Amiga (inc Ice Cream)

I was so disappointed with the Megadrive ports of Speedball 2 & Xenon 2. If you're used to the Amiga versions, there really is no contest.
It is baffling why Amiga Ports were not used here.

Dreamcast incoming?

Without a doubt, at the time, the best game ever made, and still the greatest in my opinion. Still love hearing the soundtrack

@smoreon Genesis drums did sound good. I guess that was because they had Phil Collins

I feel the Megadrive was seriously let down by the limited colour palette. I think both consoles were good.
I guess we need Harry Hill to settle this dispute

@Poodlestargenerica I was thinking the 80’s

I am not holding my breath

Edit 21st November: @damo
Have just received an email to say my order will ship in December. Email was to also confirm delivery address is still valid

@wiiware can you have Save States with FPGA? I thought that was not possible, and one advantage of Software Emulation.
(I don’t consider myself an expert on this subject)

Never played this, but it reminds me of ‘Pipemania’
Just looked at the video, and saw “Sega”.
Could this be the start of Sega games coming to Arcade Archives?
3 hopes of that

Could it be Analogue Customer Service announce that they have been doing some family history, and they have found out that they are directly related to Playmaji Customer Service ? (Twins separated at birth)

I thought The Terminator would have made the list. It was such a big improvement over the original. Also, along with Thunderhawk, Soul Star and Battlecorps were also quite good. Core Design really made use of the Mega CD

Nero ‘Me and You’, shows what looks like Streets of Rage 2, but in different colours

That would go so well with my Leopard Skin Y Fronts 😜

I always thought EA Hockey games played so much better. Just a better flow to the gameplay.
Kick Off 2 / Sensible Soccer were better Football games in the 16 Bit era

That takes me back. Used to have loads of these, but Astro Wars & Super Copter (in the picture it is shown as Super Cobra, but I swear the UK version was Super Copter. I think maybe Tandy do their own version) I remember mostly

We had an Amstrad 6128, although it had a built in disc drive, most of our games were tapes. Can you imagine now having to wait 20 minutes for a game load? Or longer if there was a load error

I still have this Cart for my A2600. Excellent game (with Parallax Scrolling).
I never played Empire on the NES, but those C64 screenshots reminds of the NES version

This list demonstrates why the Amiga was so good. Ports of Amiga games on consoles are just not the same,
Due to the sound quality (playing Xenon 2 without Bomb the Bass. No Ice Cream man in Speed Ball 2), colour pallet, and some cases no mouse (playing Cannon Fodder without a mouse just doesn’t work for me)

A personal favourite ‘North & South’ is missing though. The updated version just isn’t the same, losing all of its original charm

I never played this in the Arcade, but had it on the Amstrad CPC.
I remember the cover art more than the game

Although this is from the eighties, Best Punk Rock Song goes to ‘Edge Of Etiquette’
A song that was written and recorded in 1 night to replace a Duran Duran song in a Science Fiction flick.
Still never officially released but still the greatest Punk Rock song (imo)

@Damo Hey Damo, did you get it to work on your Polymega ? (Not that I have one, mind. Still waiting)

I guess this will be the same emulation that will be used in the Polymega.

Used to love this game on the Amiga. Need to dig out my A500 mini

I believe this also has Turbo Outrun 3D. Shame this didn’t come west.
Such a disappointment they stopped Sega Ages Classics.
Virtua Fighter 3D should have been a no brainer, with Virtua Racing already available

Just give us Rainbow Islands already

I would love to have the Arcade1UP cabinet for this game, but just don’t have the room.
I get my fix from Rogue Squadron 3 on the Game Cube, but it’s not the same, not having the Arcade Controls.
Arcade controls could be replicated with Motion on a standard controller I guess. What are the chances of this coming to Arcade Archives? (I have 3 hopes)

I still have a Multi Mega. Easy to quickly hook up

Imagine having to watch Titanic again 😜

I had Time Gal on the Mega CD. That was brutal (difficulty), not sure I have the reactions now for games like that

The first thing I thought when I saw the picture is that has to be a Syrup, but from the video, I am thinking probably not

I actually preferred the 1st Virtua Cop over the 2nd because of the 1st Virtual Cop having Multiplier Bar (encouraging multiple hits) - excellent for score chasing

Never played Sol Dease, but played lots of Sol Fease, as this was a Mega CD Launch Title. Absolute loved the music in this game
