@Guru_Larry return of death adder is also on the sega Astro mini which you can probably get for around £140 as a cheaper alternative to the 1up cabs

It’s chase hq this is why it’s never appeared on any of the Taito arcade collections they have been waiting for this moment

@Pillowpants you’re right about aquatic ambience it’s an outstanding piece of music and could easily stand on its own it’s mesmerising

@RossoftheRobots thanks for the reply sounds stupid but it’s a feature I’ve always wanted

@Damo can’t wait to get mine I’m so glad it’s reviewed well I just wanna know can you have the backlight on when you are playing a game and it’s inserted in the controller

Nightdive are great I recently picked up powerslave exhumed on the eshop sale and absolutely love it my most played game on switch 2 so will be picking this up too

I think I will be getting this I’m not keen on the bright yellow but I love that illuminated front panel my only beef with Atari and it goes all the way back to the original is the controller having only one fire button wish they would put one on the other side it’s a pain if you are left handed

Rarity aside I’ve really enjoyed playing this game through emulation glad to see its steam deck verified it’s only £12.56 at the moment grabbing this whilst it’s at that price

Hope we get an Arcade Archives release of Rave Racer I absolutely love the ps5 version of Ridge racer it’s so good with a wheel it’s like having the arcade machine at home until it was released I still played the ps1 original using a Namco Negcon one of my favourite series of all time

@Martin_H it is indeed a great game played 1000 miglia a lot back in the day at an arcade near Blackpool I mainly play it through Mame on steam deck now but it’s very similar to Neo drift out both games are great for a quick blast

One of my favourite SNES games the graphics could have been better but the music is amazing it’s so atmospheric and I love the way you can spin your whip or just leave it dangling to kill some enemies this and Rondo of blood on PC engine are stone cold classics especially love the music on the level with the water drips

@obijuankanoobie can’t seem to find any option to turn blood off in Shinobi just had a quick go now but that’s on PS5 not sure about PC maybe watch a video on YouTube and see what you think cos it’s quite cartoonish it’s a shame cos I think Shinobi is slightly better but to be honest they are both amazing games

@obijuankanoobie not sure about Shinobi but NGRB definitely has an option in the pause menu

I have NGRB on steam deck and it runs wonderfully I’ve just got Shinobi in the post this morning for PS5 I wanted a physical copy wish I had known about this deal but anyway I can play Shinobi on steam deck through Chiaki which works flawlessly for me it’s been great much better than using the PS Portal

Literally played this for the first time the other day on steam deck its actually quite impressive but can’t see it having much replay ability

Absolutely loved the Amiga it seemed like a massive step up from my C64 I remember being blown away by Xenon 2 not the actual game but the music Cannon fodder speedball 2 Gods all had fantastic music I have modern consoles but I still find myself going back to the Amiga played Lotus 2 just a few days ago such an amazing computer definitely one of my favourites saying it’s 40 makes me feel old

@Carck came to say exactly the same thing I have it on Dreamcast wasn’t aware of a PS2 version

I had this on GameCube I just thought at the time it was so different and I’ve recently got it sale on steam been playing through it on steam deck great game I would like to see it on switch 2 or PS5 give a new audience a chance to experience it

@Ellie-Moo although the arcade Ridge racer looks better the ps1 version has better handling and it’s awesome when played with a namco negcon

I’m actually surprised at the price I consider it to be quite cheap seeing as what’s on offer I must have spent a small fortune on vmu’s over the years can’t wait to get one of these

Just managed to order one the website wouldn’t let me enter my details yesterday guess it had a lot of traffic the features on this are amazing genuinely excited for this

WH Smith’s in Manchester used to be great for C64 games back in the day always had a great selection and I could always count on them for a copy of the latest Edge or Retro gamer magazine before travelling either from Victoria station or Manchester airport hope they don’t close too many shops although people looking at and buying magazines has seriously declined over the years

Love this game have it on my super pocket and I just bought it yesterday in the steam sale to use on my steam deck which is no way as portable as a GBA

Needs a bit of finishing off on the graphics side of things but the music sounds great love these kind of projects

Might sound a bit silly but Super Mario kart every video game character seems to have a kart racer and they probably wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Super Mario Kart

Had a Dreamcast from launch but I only discovered this around August last year it’s a shame cos it’s really cool you can move everything about with the analog stick wish I had known about sooner it looks really slick

I don’t have the game but I got the file from a cd that has a complete A to Z of VMU saves

@-wc- I agree it looks a bit bare a second stick could have possibly been put there that you could map to the face buttons and be usable in something like quake 3 or unreal tournament or like you say 2 more buttons. I got the clear blue version which is nice when I ordered it I was sceptical at first but it’s quite a robust little controller I honestly don’t think I could do without it now

@-wc- it’s definitely a good choice I’ve had and used my Dreamcast since day 1 so I wouldn’t recommend anything that’s not good the only thing I had to get used to is not being able to look at the vmu unless of course you get a cable extender

@-wc- in Europe the official Dreamcast arcade stick was definitely marketed and sold by Sega complete with official Sega packaging which matches the Dreamcast console packaging maybe Agetec was just a distributor in North America.

I have the wireless striker DC and it’s become my default controller for the Dreamcast and out performs the original in every way interestingly the dpad is fantastic even though it doesn’t look like it is. Street Fighter 3 third strike is one of my all time favourite games and it never lets me down I have the arcade stick but sometimes can’t be bothered setting it up

I’ve never fully understood these products although it makes me laugh as they have good reviews on amazon which is baffling just goes to show that they must be fake reviews

I was gifted the street fighter cab at Christmas made by My Arcade and it’s awful not only is it virtually unplayable it uses the Mega Drive version of Street Fighter which is just inexcusable its just so cheap and nasty back in the box and into a cupboard it’s gone

Crazy taxi is better on Dreamcast than the arcade with its added content Tekken tag tournament on PS2 is much better than it’s arcade counterpart with better graphics and tighter feeling controls also power drift on Saturn has a championship mode added which gives it a much more complete feel to it

I still have my vita oled fantastic looking console and it had some decent games still play Everbodys golf to this day definitely more portable than the switch I use it at work or when travelling but yeah the memory card prices really did damage sales but I always had the feeling Sony didn’t care about it at all it kinda felt dead on arrival

Would this be playable on A500 mini?

Can’t believe Sega are not trying to shut this down I mean they don’t have the Nintendo ninjas as a legal team but I’ve seen them shut down books cos they used artwork without permission using an actual bios is surely grounds for Sega to be all over this

@BulkSlash ha yeah I used to put a mark on the back so I knew which one I needed until I discovered that you could add icons to the vmu screen it kinda took the guess work away but was still kind of a pain and I can’t believe how much they vary in memory size in terms of blocks to save some although standard have twice as much available space as others

@RadioHedgeFund I remember croc getting panned at its time of release but recently it seems like that’s all been forgotten about I remember it as a pretty lame attempt at a Mario 64 clone but all that has been distorted by numerous retro gaming sites

@JMX 😂 that would actually be quite clever I’m only asking because back in the day the audio was quite special at the time and I feel like it can make or break some of these games take cannon fodder for example it’s a great game whichever format you play it on ,but the Amiga version is the one I always return to cos of the soundtrack

I just wanna know if the music from the intro of Gods is the actual Amiga music and not the one from the Mega drive/Snes version

Great game still play it although I’m gonna say Burnout Revenge is better it’s a shame there is no modern equivalent paradise is ok but takedown and revenge are much better

@KitsuneNight yeah it is odd, someone did a list of vga compatible games on Dreamcast talk I used that a lot in the past my other Dreamcast has a gdemu which just pretty much forces everything into vga.
I’m guessing that this component cable is just like a pass through similar to most of the hdmi converters available for Dreamcast I’ve found it’s better to use vga and then use a vga to hdmi converter and the results at least for me have been better than the hdmi cables that are available

@KitsuneNight if you have a boot disc like code breaker you can run that first and then try a game that doesn’t support vga and sometimes it will work. Hydro Thunder is a weird one I have the official pal version which won’t display in vga however put the boot disc in then run the game and it looks outstanding with no glitches some games do have funny glitches Marvel vs capcom 2 for example just doesn’t run properly another alternative is to burn a patched version of a game SNK games don’t support vga I own originals but have burnt copies just so I can use them through vga

@InfinitysEnd I use vga through my 42 inch Toshiba and it looks amazing I don’t think component offers a better quality output I just think its purely convenience as said above I guess it’s another way to use the Dreamcast if that option is available to you

@KitsuneNight thanks for the reply I’m just not so well up on anything Evercade related hope the Bartop is not delayed

@Azuris yeah I’ve done it used the refund to preorder the bar top looks pretty cool plus I don’t own anything else like that so it will be something a little different for me

@KitsuneNight is that the bartop type cos I may get a refund and preorder that instead the cartridges are still compatible aren’t they?

@KitsuneNight 😂 November 26, that’s a good idea but I would at least like the exp with capcom content

@Azuris @KitsuneNight the vs seems like a decent product but I really wanted handheld for work and travel not bothered about hdmi out either at the moment the exp r suits my needs better I may cancel though I’ve thought about getting one of the many handhelds that are available but the idea of collecting the carts really appeals to me

Oh man kinda wish I had not preordered this now I have had no word from Blaze or Argos which is where I ordered it from about delays the first I’m hearing about this news is on here I paid for it in July cos Argos started charging me although it did say I wouldn’t be charged until the item is dispatched I was aware of the first delay but this is getting a bit ridiculous now

@Azuris yeah I’ve been looking at the 2 Duke nukem collections I just want the console to arrive before I make any more purchases for it but they are definitely near the top of my list

I’ve preordered the EXP R with this collection also bought Irem arcade i feel like the Evercade has gained a decent following and the Tomb Raider collection was the tipping point for me hoping for more like this
