In contrast to wipeout my favourite soundtrack tim ever worked on was colony wars. It was bloody brilliant. It perfectly suited the game but had its own identity to it. I can still hum the main theme and other ones. I even had to tape it directly off the game in the 90s when my ps1 was hooked up to my stereo. 😂 Does Tim have a downloadable version somewhere that I could pay for?!

I'm absolutely over the moon for fans of the game that they'll get the same treatment us dark forces fans got. I heard of the game at the time but never thought to play it. A western setting seemed boring as opposed to shooting stormtroopers in the face. Decades later and I'm happily roaming the west in RDR. Go figure. I'll definitely add this to my wishlists. But speaking of DF2 Jedi Knight. Make it happen. Somone, anyone. Nightdive would be my top choice. But aspyr could have a stab since they've handled other games from the series?

Hell the terminal velocity boosted edition from ziggurat was slick. More please!
Also someone do DESCENT. I will absolutely not shut up about a descent remaster.
(Yes I know you can play it on modern pc with community remasters).

Looks great probably wont ever be able to visit sadly. I have a very high standard set now by arcade club bury. Everything was just absolutely amazing when i visited. Its local (well if you are north west based. You can link it up with a day out in Mancunia, ride a tram (TRAMS!!!) and bury market. Which is absolutely MENTAL. Love it.
**life in a northern town starts playing**

All together now! "ULYSEEEEEEEEEESSEEEEEEEEEEEEE NO ON ELSE CAN DO THE THINGS YOU DOOOO"

Young me never saw the point in a magic and swords doom.... Young me was daft. Just look where doom ended up!

Can't wait to give this a try since I never played it. And nightdive can do no wrong in my eyes, now if only they could remaster DESCENT

Speaking as a Yorkshire man I feel my accent is ready to add abaht three versions.

Gerron this.... 😂

My biggest grumble about this is having to buy a separate disk drive. I've said it before on here.

I get why. I just don't like it. If it had been sold all integrated from the get go I'd very likely have bought into it. I'm sure it will do well however and hope everyone who gets one is chuffed with it of course!

I need to get around to putting emulation on my series s....

I'm from Yorkshire and didn't even know this existed. Bugger.

"just because we can do a thing, it does not necessarily mean we must do that thing."

@The_Nintend_Pedant indeed. Eneloops ftw.

On another note with regards to the screen. I was mocked by my game gear owning friends that my Gameboy was monochrome. Well Andrew, it might have been black and white. But it was sharp and I could see what was going on most of the time. Unlike you unable to get past the first level of sonic.

This sadly doesn't surprise me. I work in a small brewery and i know just how bad it is for pubs and bars right now. Even a USP like having it as an arcade bar and food can't be enough if the sums just don't add up. I am concerned about staff not being paid? This is deeply wrong and should be righted. But hospitality staff in this country are treated like *****. And it isn't regarded as a career or appreciated by people like it would be elsewhere in the world. Turnover is appalling.Why should you care when your on minimum wage but the boss wants maximum output and your dealing with the great british public.

I'll be looking into this staff not getting paid.

My only memory of the amiga directly is my best mate having one and playing some amazing games on it. First encounter with cannon fodder and it had a load of Pysgnosis games. I found "agony" particularly mesmerising......

This literally sounds like a king of the hill episode. I can actually hear hank hill in my mind saying "Space aliens"

yup.

yes but will it run doom?

micro$oft gonna microshaft....

@JackGYarwood think the last strike series game i played was the LAPD 3d thingy one on playstation 1. remember the demo on a OPSM disk

Raul Julia
Nuff said.

Cool! I have very very fond memories of absolutely smashing the leaderboard on the air combat arcade machine that featured the f-16? Im guessing that was the first one? Nobles amusements, Bridlington in east yorkshire. For as many summers as i could while they had it. Then i got ace combat 2 on my ps1 and never went back haha.

honestly surprised no one has remastered or re-released the collection. i mean.... this is EA after all....
**thows money in the air**

ah nowt like fomo to cause you issues down the line....

@ArcadeRacingCENTRAL I had a 6128 though not the plus in the video. I always felt very chuffed with it especially since it had a disk drive.Something i lorded over my c64 owning mates. But the cpc suffered from lots and lots of really bad ports. thats the real shame years later i know now it had very capable hardware. But most places just didn't or couldn't make use of it.

nobody has told CEX this.... lol.

@Jrs1 good to know thanks. I actually had psp rr2 on my wishlist for some time. I've added AA RR to it now as well but doubtful they will hit sale prices soon. In fact none of these 7.99 pan games seem to have.

Been waiting patiently for silkworm to go on sale.... Should probably just resurrect my amstrad 6128 for that....

@Jrs1 i've had my eye on that but couldn't work out if it had the original RR?

I suppose the interesting question is how will they genuinely compare? Are they two different things in essence?

im one of those people who only know about yojimbo thanks to its TMHT crossovers....

high or low gothic?

shhh nobody show Hasbro that branding....

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say i still don't think it would have "won" that generation against playstation. If sony maintained the same approach but sega got a better start i still think people would have opted for a playstation because it was new and edgy. Even if more 3rd parties had been involved and more ports happened. Thats just me though! And its no shade on saturn. (only jupiter could do that.... badumtish)

@Damo hoard mode where you have to evade the impenetrable wall of tourists.... And that bloody wizard shop... Because I dunno.... Shambles and some wizard alley... 😂

this probably goes without saying but checkout LGR on youtube. He's had some fantastic "oddware" peripherals on his channel. Some gaming and some general pc use. All crackers though!

Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate special stage remains unconfirmed.

@smoreon I maybe remembering differently or wrongly but I just remembered it feeling different as @-wc- also mentioned. It may have been buried in options as well. Someone would have to start it up to tell me haha

ummm gt had an arcade mode. so.....? did he just encourage this bit?

Oh hey back to update my comment. This is good news! Shame it's not bundled with RR2 or maybe it is? Either way for a few quid I'd be happy to buy it. If namco pulled there finger out they could do a whole collection like.... 🙄

remember, you are not a thing unless you can run doom. I have no doubt they will make it work. Because doom.

DOOM

DOOM ALL THE THINGS!

@GravyThief ere we go ere we go!

It kinda doesn't surprise me as a child of the 80s and 90s and a games workshop fan that we almost ended up with a 40k kart game. And orks are of course the natural choice!

The bikes should be red though....

I wasn't exactly very aware of the difference in release schedules as a kid. Though I also knew some stuff tended to come out first in the USA and Japan and we just got it later because raisins. Now given the modern world it'd be silly not to release things internationally on the same day in most markets. Also a console was a big ask for me in the 80s or 90s. It was usually a Christmas present so I'd often be waiting a long time for one. Never seemed to notice back then TBF given the child like perception of time.

As for imports? Never seemed to do that indie video game shop in the ridings shopping centre in Wakefield any harm, they seemed dto so a roaring trade IF you could afford it.

Is wipeout becoming the console "does it run doom" alternative? I think it is!

Now someone get doom running on a billboard in wipeout....

I live in Liverpool! They have a place on old hall street. Now liverpool is littered with tunnels. But i proximity to the river might have made that an issue i would have thought. I'm trying to think where they may put stuff. Certainly not at the Williamson tunnels! Fascinating history around that btw look it up. Possibly under the building on old hall street but hmmm.

can't fathom how there has not been some sort of ridge racer collection for playstation yet.....

@bring_on_branstons

gibber ha.... that is showing your age... guffaw

sounds cool but not for me im afraid.I don't believe in subscription models for things like games that are so old literally anyone can get a hold of them anywhere. By legal means or otherwise.

As far as im concerned if you own a copy of a game somewhere that should entitle you to it forever but yeah i know.... raisins.

All these tetris iterations really confuse an old man who never played it on anything else but gameboy and windows 95 lol.
shakes fist at passing cloud

SO.... Sensi worms?

still runs better than a port to my 6128 would have haha!

He definitely gets an "ok boomer" for that one. He must have really been having a bad day when he wrote that. I don't much care for fighting games myself because im rubbish at them and just prefer other genres. I will happily acknowledge the mad skills of people who can somehow work combos and chain things together creatively. I wish i had your skill. Signed a button masher....

Damage is done now lads. You done gone borked it. Not that it matters much but you are off my list. Anyway not like it affects me I still have not got around to converting my series s into a retro gaming machine.

That 4 player cabinet though is just..... Oh dear no. 😂

Stun runner! Siiiick. Absolutely loved being able to play that again at arcade club in bury. Even though getting on the cabinet was akin to doing a commander Riker....
