@Atariboy I feel like the only way Ms Pac Man returns is if Namco buys up AtGames. Which is unlikely since the price AtGames paid for the royalties was at least $10 Million.

Just in time too, since the game's calendar gets stuck in 2029. (The game can see 2030, but once you save and reload, it goes back to January 2029. I think it's the Moon Festival that borks the clock.)

So what you're saying is... THE PIPES ARE BROKEN!

So Japan's first video game is a train simulator... Yea, sounds about right.

Blast Processing is even more blasphemous now!

@slider1983 The main gimmick is that these games will continue to get patches and support for years to come, even if they are delisted. Looking at you, Warcraft 1 & 2.

@Lowdefal Wasn't there also an issue where Mattel sold their own NES consoles and games that weren't compatible with the ones Nintendo sold?

Yuck. Looks as bad to type on as a Sinclair computer.

Well there goes another blow to the concept of a fair and just universe.

@RupeeClock There is a separate numpad that pairs well with the keyboard, if you don't mind paying extra for it.

@Zeebor15 When will we ever get an English version of the HD version...

Reminder that Mighty Number 9 is now owned by Level 5. I think that explains why they seem to have trouble actually releasing games these days...

Kind of wondering why Nintendo didn't partner with Iomega to make the 64DD use Zip Disks. But then again, this was hot of the heels of the Sony (and then latter Phillips) deal so....

Interesting how they labeled Puyo Puyo separately, it's lucky that they at least know (or hopefully) know that everything they don't already own of it is in D4's catalog.

That said, outside of music related stuff (Like Sonic 1-3), what's the biggest hole Sega might have when it comes to IPs?

@zeebor15 I must commend your work on untangling the messy web of "Who owns what in Gaming?" Salutes.
(Though PLEASE add Toontown Online to the Walt Disney umbrella, been annoying me for a while seeing it missing)

@Zeebor15 I honestly feel like this kind of thing deserves it's own website. Call it "Who Owns What" or "The Gaming Forest"

@Zeebor15 Wait. ALL of it? I thought it was like 10% at the most.

@NinChocolate I honestly think it's the Jackson team that's causing issues for Sonic 3 and not the Jackson Estate. Still, I hope Sega goes back and makes the replaced soundtrack actually sound like it's from Sonic 3 and not Sonic 4.

@ArcadianLegend99 🎵Gonna take yea for a ride 🎵

"This isn't a PC handheld" I hate to break it to you, but it is one. That's what an OG Xbox is. It has a Pentium III inside. It's a PC no matter what.

I'm wondering if they have any plans to make an 8th hotel.

@Bonggon5 The real crime is that it basically came out ten years too late. And also some janky hitboxes.

I kind of have a feeling they should (or maybe they are) work on a remaster of "Strong Bad Cool Game for Attractive People", especially with the recent release of "Dangeresque: The Roomisode Triungulate" (Relativity I mean)

@Deuteros The Sonic CD PC port isn't that obscure as you think it is. In fact, the Sonic Gems Collection is based on that version of the game.

Need I remind you the last time Google tried to use AI for video game "history"? It made the Sonic Twitter account baffled.

@LP09 Considering that they used Titan as the name for a Saturn based Arcade, I could see that.

@MysticX Legally speaking, they are in the clear if they release it as a patch. This has been the case for the other DX releases like with Mario Land 1 and 2.

@Andee Looking in the recent beta, there's an unused audio clip that has the Mario Brothers sounding more like they were in the DiC cartoon (Adventures of Mario 3). So I can guess that Animation Magic (The studio that made the "cutscenes") took more inspiration from those than the actual games. (It would also explain why so many YTPs mash the two together and they actually work well)

The fact that someone is doing a remake of Cluster's Revenge and not say, Beat'em and Eat'em, says a lot about a person. I'm all for smut games (even if it squicks me) but @PZT 's comment about the developer's past works... Yuck.

@Guru_Larry Not surprised, considering how terrible AtGames' consoles were.

Ok, WHY do you need an actual 32X to play 32X games when it's on an FPGA? Like, there's another company in Brazil making a Sega Neptune FPGA without needing the add-on, why can't these folks do it too?

I think another reason why bad games like this disaster gets fan translations is well... It can't get any worse. By that I mean, there's little if any pressure that you might "screw up" the translation as the original text/story is already borked as it is.

Though @SnowyAria will you ever make a version of the game that fixes some of the bugs/audio issues or is that a no go?

How come no one has made an FPGA Sega/Mega CD? As in, one that can either take actual disks or ISOs.

But will the Pool close because of Stingrays?

Correction for the article. IBM never made a Model M computer. The Model M is the keyboard.

Like I said in NintendoLife, I wouldn't be surprised if they paid extra NOT to buy the Amico mess. (To put it lightly.)

Once again, Disney does NOT get Video Games. Perhaps its a good thing though.

I wonder if it has the Mega/Sega CD expansion port.

@Boopero sigh If only... If only...

My personal take on the 32X has two different scenarios.

Scenario A is just to have it never come out.

Scenario B is a bit more interesting. I would basically boost the power of the 32X to make it nearly or even completely make it into a Sega Saturn. That would make the Tower of Power much more appealing deal. Also consider that if the 32X and Saturn are more closely related that means it could also be backwards compatible with the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. (Though not Master System since there's no Z80) Could be a massive marketing tactic against both the PlayStation 1 and the N64.

Not to start a flame war, but why does the Amiga have an active fanbase and the Atari ST doesn't?

I don't know what surprises me more. People caring about bitcoin in 2024 or that the people making this device aren't slapping stuff about "AI" in the advertising.

@Sketcz Doesn't the CD-i get stuck in a boot loop with a dead battery?

So... Nothing changed then?

Bet you it's cheaper to buy the gun than the game.

Welp. Looks like the first trailer is going to the decider if this will be good or bad.

Kind of a dumb idea not to do it at first. Someone was going to dump the ROM anyways.

The Gods are pleased with this offering.

@obijuankanoobie It's sort of a display item of sorts. Also, since it is quarter scale, it's a perfect fit for posing action figures and the like with it.

@Spider-Kev Considering it uses a mouse, I assume so.

@ROBLOGNICK Nintendo doesn't usually go after ROM hacks, if it doesn't include the ROM of the game in question. It's a case of "This is a patch, so find your own ROM wink wink"

@DestructoDisk Sounds a lot like how the Sega/Mega CD worked with the Genesis/Mega Drive
