@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....

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.
