I already have my hand on a super knob in my pocket.

The first game looks so good on Jaguar. It makes one wonder what games the console could have been host to, had it not been a commercial disaster.

Outstanding work!

Lovely stuff.

I don't mean to brag, but I once made it two whole steps before being hit in the game.

Ah, dis is life!

@JJtheTexan I presume that he's busy pretending to have a modicum of artistic talent, generating a bunch of plagiaristic AI slop.

@axelhander - I get it; you're devoid of artistic talent, and you enjoy pretending that you have talent by using AI to generate plagiaristic slop. However, that doesn't make you morally correct, not does it invalidate criticism of generative AI itself.

Did I type Indiana Jones?! I meant to say Back to the Future III (the horse riding level).

In terms of future game nominations; I suggest the first level from the NTSC version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for the Genesis (not the PAL Megadrive version, which is slower and therefore easier).

@RupeeClock a that was my first thought too.

Fantastic article. I love reading interviews with the pioneers of the industry.

I have fond memories of visiting Sega World and Alien Wars as a teenager.

@h3s I'm not sure what you mean by patching the game to run on PC. It's an XBox game and as such not designed to run on Windows. One would require the source code to have the game natively run on Windows, hence why the decompilation efforts would allow this.

R.I.P., you legend.

It's sad to see but it seems that traditional arcades just aren't a viable business anymore.

I never really got into the stat gaming cards (though I did dabble with an ex of mine). I do have a complete collection of series 1 for both Garbage Pail Kids and Mars Attacks though.

I owned a copy of Zero Wing for the Megadrive when I was a kid, so was many years ahead of the meme. Good game!

*Arx Fatalis (stupid autocorrect)

I've spent the past 6 years working tirelessly on a creative project, so at the start of the new year, I resolved to finally start playing games again and start working my way through my retro backlog of unplayed games.

Thus far I've completed Outlaws (excellent - 8/10), Arx Fatalism (equally frustrating and outstanding - 8/10), and Veil of Darkness (great concept, poor execution - a high 4/10).

It's the first time I've been playing games for 6 years (despite considering myself a hardcore gamer) and I'm having a blast! The creativity can wait for a few weeks, I reckon. I've earned some downtime.

Worst console of all time? Not as long as the Game.com exists.

Awful company. Just awful.

Neat. I've never noticed this before.

@Arcadia_Official - I believe that it was a wink and a nod to Shenmue's origins, as the game started development on the Saturn (you can watch the prototype footage on YouTube).

Death Craw Super Mansion X

That pitch video looks rough.

This looks fantastic!

@jmbenetti I agree with all of your critiques of the game. The 'member berries were eye-rolling, and the "puzzles" were an absolute joke (not to mention creatively bankrupt. Just how many times did the player have to look up a safe code, or use their knife on an item?!)

Also, the ending was just a repeat of the ending of Monkey Island 2 (despite Gilbert lying for decades, saying that the was a real secret and that nobody had figured it out yet). Oh, and Elaine was way out of character, and the new voice actor for LeChuck was awful.

It's a really bad game and I'm convinced that the majority only praised it because it was made by Ron Gilbert. If the game had been made by some random German developer, then people wouldn't have been so kind.

@Jmbenetti - Oh heavens, yes! Return to Monkey Island was astoundingly awful.

Stupid autocorrect...

*ratio

*Megadrive

@KingMike - Perhaps the radio is somewhat hyperbolic, but Hawkins' has a very valid point. The exclusivity of EA in regards to the Mega drive was MASSIVELY important in establishing the console's ability to go head-to-head with the SNES.

When I think of my favourite Mega drive games, it's probably 35% in-house Sega, 35% EA, and 30 % other publishers. The Mega drive wouldn't have been the system it was without EA.

Annnnddddd... the patch is absolutely worthless because there's nowhere on the Internet to get an HDI image of the original game. Congratulations, Internet. You have failed. What a waste of a translation.

@JoeYabuki "What's a paladin?"

@Frmknst Did you accidentally wind up on this site when trying to access IGN or something?

@PinballBuzzbro What's wrong with the title Ultravore?

My Mum would always give my Sister and I a pound coin to play Street Fighter 2 after we had gone swimming (they had a cabinet at the pool).

@Razieluigi I don't think it's a case of developers presuming that everyone plays games with headphones, but rather the likely correct assumption that the majority do, hence why that's often the default zetting.

It would be absurd to have the default setting be for surround sound, as not many gamers own such a rig.

Pretty pointless, if you ask me. Why not just buy a second-hand DS? I did so a couple of months ago and it only cost me £40. I was then able to jailbreak the system and copy a massive library of DS games (in addition to other systems) onto an SD card.

This is great news. I hope a lot of games get converted to PC.

What a lovely video. I wish I had classes like that when I was a kid.

"Soccer" indeed. Those darned yanks!

Wow. What a POS. That whole "my name was Mid Jet on IRC" is the biggest load of cobblers which I've ever read. What an absolutely imbecilic clown.

@ScalenePowers What a ridiculous comment. The hate (read: valid criticism from customers who LRG has screwed over) that the company receives is deserved.

To liken customer dissatisfaction to bigotry is utterly absurd.

"Blah, blah, blah"... what a load of PR nonsense. Nobody ever brings up the botched release of the collector's editions for Full Throttle and Grim Fandango, where the box art was incorrectly printed and comically dark.

I and others contacted LRG and their response? "It's not a printing error, it was an artistic choice"! Absolutely disgraceful company.

Or how about the fact that two of my collector's editions didn't arrive with the cards they were supposed to contain? I complained and LRG games said they'd ship out the missing cards to me. That was one year ago and I'm still waiting. I contacted them again a couple of months ago and was informed that they had higher priorities to deal with, than replacing missing cards! You couldn't make this s%$t up!

I will never purchase anything from this sham company ever again and quite frankly, anyone who does, even after all of the warnings from previous customers, deserve everything you get.

"Neeeeuuuhhh... this is just a saga nowwwww."

Looks great! I'll be keeping on eye on this.

Barbara Broccoli is the perfect name for a woman whom dictates what children should be served and consuming.

I backed this a while back. I really hope that it gets funded, as the kickstarter seems to be having trouble gaining traction. Articles such as this one will hopefully help.

Limited Run Games are a terrible company. I advise people to not purchase anything from them.

Really sad news. The only silver lining is knowing that the arseholes won't get what they wanted now. Instead, they'll get what they deserve; nothing.
