I hope the SuperSega guy(s) don't give up just yet. I've been hungry for another console fiasco since the Amico ran out of fuel on the launchpad. That empty circuit board shown off in a recent video was hilarious... keep the updates coming, SuperSega!
I'm not sure how I feel about these "thanks to fans" headlines... Often these projects are HUGE undertakings by a single person. While it's true the tools & knowledge involved in each project are typically a the result of community efforts, the projects themselves are a different thing entirely. I'm not suggesting each modder/hacker specifically needs to be mention by name in the headline, I just find the "thanks to fans" phrasing to be poor. It comes across... "dismissive" is too strong a word, more like impersonal. Plus when it comes to games of a certain vintage, fan translations are the norm... it really doesn't need to be clarified. The exception however is when one of these games gets an "official" translation for the first time.
That Pixel Cherry Ninja interview is HILARIOUS. Apparently this same guy promised an 8K camera called the "Cinemartin Fran" which, predictably, never materialized. Looks like a few bloggers were given an 'early hands-on' look and it's a hacked-together mess.
Heroes of the Lance came out in '88, not '98. Though I'm thoroughly amused by the thought of it bursting onto the scene while everyone's glued to their PS1 or N64. My older brother had that game & it was TERRIBLE. Whenever the topic of "worst game ever" comes up, you usually hear about ET, the CD-i's games, Superman 64, all the usual suspects. But Heroes of the Lance is equally bad if not worse.

Re: Random: This Pokémon ROM Hack Replaces Monsters With Cute Anime Girls
Now someone needs to make a version that replaces the monsters with fat, sweaty weebs.
Re: Here's Your First (Blurry) Look At SuperSega's PCB
This is great! Ever since the Amico fizzled out, I've been waiting for another colossal console clusterf*ck. Keep the updates coming!

Re: Random: Someone Modded Tim Walz Into Crazy Taxi
I'm sorry if this is controversial but it's what I believe. I can't support this...
I can't support Dreamcast mods that don't run on real hardware.

Re: "We Are Waiting For A Reply From Sega" - SuperSega FPGA Console Team Talk Price, Release Date And More
I'm waiting for a reply from Active Enterprises. No one has said anything to me about the 'Super Action GameMaster' name.
Re: The Soundtrack To SNES Doom Just Got An MSU-1 Upgrade
When I think Doom + CD-Quality Music, I think of the 3DO soundtrack.
