I do like the control options on this thing, but as stated before, every emulation handheld out there can play Atari 2600 games. I'm not even sure how these things make a profit for any company. There must be over a thousand different devices out there now with 10 new ones coming out daily it seems like.

As for the idea of a separate paddle game pad with the roller ball as well, I'd buy that.

I wish the survey was tailored to this site as well and no personal questions. No questions about sex, age, income or if children in household and their ages.

I have an FXPak Pro with SGB on it. I remember I had to update it to SGB 2 to fix a flaw the first one had. I don't remember how I updated it. If you have a flashcart, you'll have to look it up.

It's a shame Nintendo locked this feature away as some interesting stuff could have been done back in the day.

I had started playing Final Fantasy Adventure aka Seiken Densetsu a few months ago and was wishing it was in colour. This is a dream come true.

Looking forward to both Genesis and NES ports.

The Activision collection is missing Pressure Cooker. Probably will be in a second collection. It's a simple 2600 game, but difficult and very fun.

@Firmatt There is always a way to fight back without firing a single bullet. (Even if there wasn't a way, hopefully you never have to fire a bullet.) When it comes to software, choose open source and support open source. Hardware? Hack it. Hardware can be much more difficult, and hacking certainly never seems to be user friendly, but it's still resistance.

@TheFlyingKick It would be nice if phone manufactureres also made it easier to ditch Android and install an alternate OS. I don't like Google and I wouldn't miss them if they suddenly disappeared.

I too am excited for this. It looks excellent.

@Ristar24 Permadeath (ie. no savestate) is one of the attractions to roguelikes, but also a great frustration. Games like Nethack make you want to destroy your computer at times. There is a phrase in the Nethack community: "yet another stupid death". You're low on health. A baby dragon is chasing you. You were wearing cursed armor which had exploded. You drank a mystery potion which caused you to drop your weapon in confusion. You run down a flight of stairs, stealthfully evading the dragon, and are immediately surrounded by a group of goblins who despise your very existence...... yea.

Hold on a second you guys. @Mariteaux was not wrong in his response to me, concerning my comment. The retro homebrew and indie scene also has its fair share of "cookie cutter" games. In my own opinion, not as much as the AAA arena, but enough. I remember when NES Maker came out. All of a sudden, a whole bunch of games were coming out on carts for NES. Many Kickstarters popped up. Some titles were head-scratchers to me as to why they were being put on a cart and why would anyone play them. But that's my opinion, and certainly there are some games I too would consider a waste of time if an article was written for them. I give projects and creators the benefit of the doubt until it's clear that the project is just a money grab trying to fleece nostalgic gamers.

Anyway, back to the point.. I can see the point @Mariteaux was making. Everyone has their own opinion and experience behind how they feel. That's fine. I very much appreciate @Mariteaux's response to me.

This is a good site and I feel a good community. Let's be kind to one another.

This is an excellent port. I played the original arcade and this has the same feeling. Excellent job.

@Mariteaux I am respectfully disagreeing. I personally like articles like this. I like learning about new content creators and couldn't agree more that AAA titles are missing the mark in more ways than one. An unknown channel with only 13k subs is a growing channel and won't always stay unknown.

Up until 2007 I was excited for AAA games, but now they just feel like cookie cutter constant repeats and the masses keep playing the slop. So, for me, retro games and homebrew games are where it's at. I like finding the gems in the rough. Sometimes, it's creators like these that release something epic. I have been fortunate enough to join a community or contribute to a project early on and be there as it grew.

These are exactly the types of articles I like and look for. This site is the polar opposite of pcgamer.com, where it's clear they are paid to do multiple inane articles of AAA titles, and you'll find many personal opinion fluff pieces. Especially from one of the authors who even closes the comment section on his articles.. yet, no one cares to read his pointless pieces. Haha.

@JackGYarwood @Damo Thank you for the articles that you post. This is one of my top daily 'go to' sites.

@boatie Misuse and misunderstanding of that word is getting old and tiresome. The name calling and labelling is laziness as well.

I'm glad that Analogue has some superior competition. No monopolizing the fpga retro console scene. Glad Luckey and Modretro exist.

Wow! Another one.

Attention! Nintendo.. of the eighties! HIRE THIS MAN!

This is wicked tits! If Tomato is involved, this will be a top notch hack. I am very looking forward to playing this on real hardware.
