@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....

Quake for me. Even though I actually couldn't play it on my pc at time of release and. Didn't have a N64. I can actually remember playing angry birds on my phone and was amused I could get around the adverts by just turning off the WiFi or data. COD4 I had for my ps3 and it was indeed seismic. But after having played nighdives excellent quake remaster I think it would be the perfect addition. But that's me.

How about ya just release the original version for free for all platforms. 😉

I would respectfully suggest that game news outlets stop giving these whoppers airtime.

Only ever bought 2 standard edition games from them. Quake 2 and tomb raider remaster. Both arrived, both worked, everything about the boxes, printed media and disk seemed absolutely fine. And I was content with the pricing and have no issue with the wait time as I've too many games to play as is and I've struggled to find time to game at the minute anyway. all I can say is I've been satisfied with the service, but all this feedback from others certainly tempers my opinion of them.

demotivated them?

Imma gonna say wild guess.... toxic fans.

CHONKY BOI
Reminds me of my first laptop from TIME. It still works, it was great despite the slating TIME and TINY both get and it got me through uni. It even has the worlds only functioning copy of Windows ME

for me some games are now the equiviliant of a warm pair of slippers and a cosy jumper. Sometimes ill just fire up E1M1 for a bit of comfort.

Didn't care for the n97. Now the N95? That was my last ever nokia before i finally jumped ship from symbian to android.The damn thing was a beast. What i would consider to be my first true smart phone. I dropped it down the stairs once and while it did survive it also sorta blew apart. no worries though all more or less went back together and sourced a new screen off ebay and all fixed. Ha no chance of doing that with all the android phones i've had.

Game Bub?

BUB

Admit it you heard that in your head as if Logan/Wolverine was saying it

imagine wasting your finite amount of life and energy on being a knobhead.... I've barely got enough time or energy to play games these days. nevermind get angry at such a thing. Just ridiculous.

I'd dare say the playstation managed ok with the shoot-em ups it had. But always a fascinating what could have been from one of gamings greatest betrayals. I can't wait for the movie tbh/

yes but can it play doom?

I'll be that guy then.... I don't see why this couldn't have just been done as an all in one unit. Yeah i know some people just want all digital etc etc etc.

Atari 50 was fantastic. Really enjoyed it.
Corporate babble like this makes me nervous though.

It amazes me what people can do now with older hardware. Imagine this coming out back in the day. People would have been blown away.

Doom all the things.
If you cannot run doom you are not a thing.
PDF's are now a thing.
Because DOOM.

"There's always a bigger fish"

I'm going to be a little critical of this.
1) I'm not keen on the styling. This is a personal thing of course. But it's too close to the PS One. Not the original boxy ps1. But I can see why the decision was made to sort of blend the two together.
2) not having a drive for disks as part of the main design is a big negative to me. Yes I realise that would push up production etc but wouldn't it be nice to just have it all in one rather than having to tack on extra gubbins?

I could have lived with point 1 but not 2. Though I wonder would the drive allow you to play PS2 disks? Is that how mrfpga works? Otherwise it would be cool to see a PS2 design by taki

Absolutely gutted by this. I hope some things can be restore. bad times for resilliance in game preservation. LGR's private collection got hit by a hurricane. Fire's in arcades in Japan. Not good.

And you can just bet given the insurance industry in the UK they will do what they can to weasel out of paying out. Regardless of that ive sent a few quid via the donation page.

As a native of the west riding it always made me immensely proud that just up the road there was a games studio making some quality titles. I only recently started to follow Martyn on Facebook after stumbling across him. Probably via a time extension article. It was to follow his home arcade antics. I never realised until now he had fallen under ill health and that might have reflected in some of his Facebook posts, I just never realised. A legacy that will hopefully live on if we strive to preserve and keep playing and remember.

There's probably a Ferengi rule of acquisition that covers this. I'll merely say.

Quelle suprise

Man who's job it is to make money doesn't want peoples money. lol.

I think people should seriously consider pulling their money from this if they have not already done so.

No medieval
No colony wars
This list is invalid.
;⁠)

Nintendo slapping a cease and desist on them shortly no doubt.....

Better frame rate than the SNES version. HAHAHA. Well as true as that is it was still the only way some people could experience doom up to a point. Me being one of those people. And i still have a soft spot for it. DOOM on things will always be a thing.

Because you are not a thing unless you can run doom. doom all the things. because DOOM.

God I loved playing these on the OPSM disk. Total soccer was the king for me though, yeah it was a SENSI clone but so what.

From the number of channels i follow on tubeYou this doesn't surprise me. Everyone eventually seems to get flagged for some non issue at some point. And there seems to be specific business setup to try to rinse people for copywright claims on music etc that is actually fair use. Madness.

My avatar should be a big give away on this one but i do have a copy in waiting for xmas. Looking forward to fawning over it.

@slider1983 with respect to our london residents It's better things like this are spread around the UK. Having one VG museum in sheffield is nice and the museum of computing in swindon is nice.

I'd rather be wrong on this for all the people who invested in it. BUT something tells me this is going to end in tears. I'd be seriously concerned about this now.

This looks SICK! I remember Auto Modelista fondly, shame the western version was butchered. Hope these guys can do a console port eventually.

Net Yaroze ahhhh. I fondly remember those from the OPSM demo discs....

TOTAL SOCCER.....
drops mic

I only found out about this last minute and too late to change my plans I wish there was a centralised location a lot of these events and retro fairs are highlighted at? Am I just missing them? Or maybe TE could collect em together for the next 12 months?
Help an old gamer out bro.....

Another way to play the GOAT which is TIE Fighter?
Hook it to my veins.....
