Re: "I Will Always Cherish That Chapter Of My Life" - A Million Subs Later, One Of Retro Gaming's Most Famous YouTubers Calls It Quits

@Sketcz I fully understand the annoyance and frustrations which have manifested due to his lack of gratitude. Personally, I’ve always found him wooden and unengaging.

For your own health and sanity, you need to let go of the whole situation. This started over a decade ago and is still causing you distress. If it had happened to myself, I would have been fuming but life is too short to hold a decade long grudge over something in the grand scheme of things that doesn’t really matter.

Hopefully, you can now draw a line under the situation and put your thoughts of him where they deserve to be, in the recycle bin.

Re: Prolific Saturn Modder Creates A Successor To One Of Sega's Rarest Consoles

He’s basically created something Hitachi already made in the Navi Saturn, a portable system which could run off a 12v cigarette lighter socket which included an optional screen and Sat Nav GPS antennae.

I’ve owned two of these over the years and they are beautifully made, slim and more robust versions of the regular Saturn. They also have Karaoke functionality built in.

Re: Sega Pays Tribute To Co-Founder David Rosen, Who Passed Away Aged 95 On Christmas Day

SEGA wouldn't have entered our radar if David Rosen never changed their business focus.

I was in his company albeit briefly at the Olympia Amusement Trades Exhibition around 35 years ago and he spoke passionately regarding SEGA's future direction, discussing synergy between the arcade and home divisions. He was a gent who spoke to small exhibitors such as myself with real enthusiasm for the industry.

He will remain the pioneer of the modern amusement forever.

Re: Review: Game Kiddy Bubble - The Game Gear Tribute Act We've All Been Waiting For

I never understood what the Game Gear offered in the handheld marketplace.

If you wanted a budget system with good battery life and a great library of games it had to be the Game Boy.

The Atari lynx was your the best option for a modern handheld built from the ground up with arcade like sprite scaling.

The Pc Engine GT/Turbo Grafx was the full fat home console experience in the palm of your hand. It even had an amazing Street Fighter II port which looked fantastic on the small screen.

That leaves the Game Gear with it's old previous gen console tech, awful sound, rubbish battery life and limited game library.
