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.....

Lol nope considering how these retro handhelds are churned out now I would rather spend money like that on something else.

You guys need to seek help over the DE9 obsession. 😉

You know the drill people.
It can play doom.
so it is officially a thing.

@Spider-Kev Amusingly its what a lot of people called the original playstation. IE the ps1. I can't remember why, then they made an actual psx just to confuse people more lol.

I'm curious as to what the issue is with the hard drive replacement? Surely its just a standard IDE drive?

This was one of those games i saw in the arcades of Bridlington and Blackpool growing up that always looked wild. My little brain couldn't believe this was a game MJ made (not directly). I never played it as it didn't make sense haha. Reminds me of watching moonwalker when it premiered on terrestrial tv and i had NO IDEA what was going on lol.

The Ossett legends. Yeah be careful if you say Wakefield. We get very parochial in Yorkshire. Folk in Ossett will quickly correct you (and rightly so 😉).

Worms was one of the first games I had on my ps1. Myself and pals played it to absolute death. Another friend had it on his Amiga too. I got worms 2 on release for my pc and loved it. We even ran it on our high school network less than 10 miles away from Team17 hq. 😂 Loved the series. And own a classic T17 logo t-shirt that hangs proudly in my wardrobe next to a Pysgnosis one.

@Pally356 JRD as the atreides mentat chefs kiss

@Azuris it did make it all the more poignant I felt.

Raul Julia.
Nuff said.

I do not remember this at all! It didn't get mentioned in my computing circle of friends. And i never saw one in my pokey corner of west yorkshire growing up. Looking forward to reading about it though and gutted for the community and Bruce's family and friends.

@Blast16 totally forgot 32x had one too. That did irk me back in the console warz days haha. Not one bit now. Glad mega drive owners got to have some fun too. And lets be fair getting it to even run on either platform? chefs kiss

It's not as epic as the 3DO port like haha.

I'm sorry was Raul Julia and a coked up Van damm not enough first time around?

Ah man such conflicting feelings on the snes port. when it came out the only real exposure i had to doom was doom 2 on a neighbours computer. They didn't even have a soundcard. BFG sounded hilarious. Anyway eventually i found out it was coming to snes and leapt at getting it. Surely the mighty super FX chip can deliver? Well sorta. I see those limitations more now these days but my teenage eyes didn't so much. I enjoyed it but the lack of cheats and bad controls made it a hard to love version. In the end a playstation came along with its excellent port and then the pc. Funny enough this is why i also seem to have DOOM on EVERYTHING.

@KitsuneNight Literally came here to say this. Uncle D is gonna loose his mind.

The NES bullet impact noise lives rent free in my head. Of course it was Probotector becuz..... robots can shoot one another and aliens but not people becuz..... raisins.

For me this is THE greatest version of it. And if i could get a version for playstation or xbox that was basically this one i would buy it.

I'd love to hear from Doug, Gene and yes even bill.

My cousin went from a CPC 464 to 6128+ while I still had the regular 6128. The cartridge slot on the side vexed me. But by then I'd started to transition to consoles anyway. Still don't regret having an amstrad, even if a lot of the ports were awful! This attempt at a console though was maybe a bit ill conceived... 😂

Someone random at Take-Two taking credit for someone else's hard work?
Quelle Suprise

I really wish space combat games would make a proper comeback instead of lurking just under the radar. But i guess its also different times now. I still wait in hope for a SW squadrons sequel or a colony wars remaster.

TF was the goat. don't @ me....

I vividly remember Go as part of CVG. But never considered it separate to the mag itself. Used to throughly enjoy picking up cvg every month when dragged to morrisons in Pontefract for the big shop with my mam. I used to get the Amstrad magazine posted to the house so i assume my mam signed me up for this. But can't find any copies in my old house.

Yeah i really wish i hadn't binned any of them now. Same with my Beano's and Dandy's

funny how this does the rounds every so often. Given the age of the playstation now i thought it was quite common knowledge? Well for at least most playstation owners. But someone out there will not know and everyday is a school day!

heh, can't imagine it would have been great anyway. My mum bought me the NES mcdonalds game (global gladiators was it?). It was ok but passable. The amusing thing is they bought me that but refused to take me in McDonalds because the food wasn't served on plates with knives and forks. Hence we only ever went to wimpy. Hahahaha. it sounds very middle class but i can assure you we are not.

This would be cool but can see the creator getting a C&D from hasbro.....

HASBRO TIL ALL ARE ONE.

Stop skeletons fighting on youtube has an excellent few episodes on the zeebo. It is WILD what went on around it. That such a thing even exists makes me chuckle.

Micomsoft wait is that real! How has m$ not nuked them yet?
