Do you think he could also get Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball running on this too?

Just asking for a friend.

@Nua sign your comment?

@Sketcz Sega did that in-house with their Japanese division. Same with Jurassic Park and Dick Tracy.

@JackGYarwood TBH I quite liked the more Anime look the SNES version had with it's sprites.

But, I think gameplay wise, the SNES version is the better game, even if the Mega Drive version destroyed it graphically.

BTW do you know if any of this had any affect on the Blue Sky version of Aladdin before it was axed?

@retrogamer1 Aw, thank you

@RetroGames I said it's not mode 7, the moose chase scene, and the tower ascention.

Well, it's almost 2025 now, what happened?

£250? I literally bought two genuine Gamesmaster Golden Joysticks off eBay for less than that!!!

Cheers for the shout-out

The presenter, Adrian Hedley is probably most known today as the guy who infamously played Mr. Noseybonk on Jigsaw.

It kinda reminds me of the Coleco Chamelion.

Didn't you do a feature sometime ago on Sega's patent of the Saturn 3D pad?

It was designed to be a plug and play system, capable of adding rumble packs, light guns, air mouse Etc.

There's definitely false nostalgia, like how many kids today think EVERYONE grew up with a NES, all because of the American YouTube channels talking about their history.

Is it Mode 7, or is it that wrapping feature that Mickey Mania did on the Mega Drive?

(Also Nebulus, and Battletoads on the tower stage on the NES)

Didn't Disney additionally animate the sprites for Sega/Virgin? So they were literally drawing in a sword for Aladdin.

@retrogamer1 Aw, thanks matey, I really appreciate it!!! I've been rather sick behind the scenes unfortunately, so not put anything out in nearly a year. But I will be back soon, written a ton of scripts behind the scenes.

I thought it was a Gizmondo scrolling through

I bought one back in the day, it's actually not too bad!

They also used the same technology in the West a year later for a Star Wars game.

Is it only going to have the one game on it, or will you be able to add more?

@MegaManFan Aw, bless you. Thanks bud ^_^

@ThisIsPete Wasn't Pyramids of Ra on one of those unnoficial multicarts that Hulk Hogan promoted in the '90s.?

@Tasuki Yeah, there's a few art pieces of the character during development.

Shame they haven't brought him back in some shape or form.

@MegaManFan Lol, noooo, I've been rather ill behind the scenes. so have taken some time off to get better.

But I will be back very soon!!!

I mean there's THREE American characters in SFII and only two Japanese characters, so it never came across as some kind of war.

I was more annoyed there were no Brits in it until Super. (well Vega was supposed to be English, and in an Assassins Creed-esque costume but that fell through)

Happened to me a few years ago, the cardboard boxes literally turned into mud in mine.

Still no Chase HQ???

Namco has the same rule too, none of the Arcade 1up machines have Namco's logo on them.

But that might also be because they're Bandai Namco now.

I'm still hoping for a leak for the "sequel" Rockstar were working on that was based on the movie, Quadrophenia.

I've noticed on licensed things like the Arcade1up machines, that Sega demands their logo removed from the product.

They don't like their name on 3rd party products.

Andy "Thicky" Dyer? He was one of my fave reviewers as a kid. Thats terrible news, Rest in peace Sir!

For you, it was one of the most profitable movies based on one of our IPs ever.

But for us, it was Tuesday.

Sega: "Yeah, um, we were kinda hoping you'd want a Master System mini next".

Did anyone ever find those stolen EverDrive EXP's?

The PC version of Bomberman had a ton of swearing in it that was removed.

Luckily it's still in the games files!

Loved Golvellius as a kid, annoyed that it ended on a cliffhanger for a sequel that never came. >.>

I'd be up for that, I never received my copy >.>

@amongtheworms Ronald McDonald has literally killed more people than Pennywise and John Wayne Gacy combined!

He's the world's most evil clown.

Molyneux: Well, when I was designing the game, I asked the question: Does the player want to be a good Ronald McDonald. or an evil Ronald McDonald? So I created a McDonalds God simulator where you play as Ray Croc himself and must fight supernatural beings, but that was later cut.

Not gonna Lie, but "NBA Superstars" is literally the most generic, thoughtless, "that'll do", Friday afternoon job name I've ever heard for a game

At least give it some Jazz, like "NBA Slammageddon", or just "NBA SLAM!!!" (as it sounds like NBA JAM). Something catchy that'll stick in people's minds.

NGL, I thought that old guy on the left was Jimmy Greaves scrolling past!

This is the Silent Hill Pachinko thing all over again!

BTW CEX started out as a stall at Wembley Market, I remember buying Amstrad and Master System games from them in the '80s.

They also heavily got into import gaming soon after, I bought a US Copy of Sonic 1 long before it was released here, Also Wardner, one of my fave ever arcade games.

All CEX stores are required to hire a miserable looking goth who stares at you like you're wasting their time, a tall, skinny, long haired guy who stinks of cigarettes, a fat guy who is actually knowledgeable about games that looks like Hurley from LOST, and a slightly overweight manager that resembles Ricky Gervais.

There was also another Escape.. Game developed, but sadly cancelled around the PS2 era, Escape from Earth, where the entire planet had been turned into a prison.

I didn't do this to my Mega Drive carts as I owned a Japanese console.

But I did try and fit a US WWF Super WrestleMania into a PAL SNES by sawing the sides off, then was gutted to discover they had extra region locking.

And I also sawed the tabs off the back of my Japanese N64 games to run on my US console (stuck a tiny square of duck tape over the holes to look nicer )

Love the CD-I Tetris soundtrack, It's '90s shopping mall as all Hell, but I do wish other developers would use this calming tone for soundtracks, rather than something orchestral constantly.

Also, it was refreshing for a Tetris game NOT to have some Russian sounding soundtrack for once.

Beyond the Ice Palace was pitched as an official sequel to Ghosts n Goblins to Capcom, which they rejected, then Elite tried it to make it into a ThunderCats game, hence why the main character looks like Lion-O and the final boss looks like Mumm-Ra.

I did a video on it many many moons ago.

@TeamBigRig All weapons were definitely underpowered online, having to put two full clips into an enemy to take them down just made the whole game frustrating to play.

I'm not a "sweaty" player or anything, but it had some serious balancing issues online. I do question if Microsoft were aiming it at a younger market, so it wasn't competition for Halo.

'Tis true, Americans have also taken all our copies of Mega Man: The Wily Wars and Shenmue II.

Then again, we've taken a load of their copies of Earthbound, Super Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger.

Exclusivity migration is an issue caused by the original publishers back in the day.

Also, That "you need a Japanese address" can easily be flaunted, there's loads of companies that will act as a proxy for you to ship stuff to them, and then them to you. I did that a few years ago for a Japanese auction site for a collection of Sega Titan Games.

@TeamBigRig The weapons being so underpowered drove me nuts in multiplayer, like taking 2/3 headshots with a sniper rifle to take someone down.

To be honest, not one of those celebs had any connection, let alone couldn't care less about video games, so no wonder why it bombed with marketing that completely missed the mark.

Then again, Gizmondo must have realized this towards the end, as they would badger the hell out of me when I was a presenter on Game Network to promote the thing there. They even loaned me a console to show off on TV, I say loan, as they went bust before I had a chance to return it, so I've still got the thing
