very very short, dialog is good and does seem very Alienish, sound fx will make a huge difference as far as building tension. Point and Click games aren't easy to pull off on consoles but this one has promise.
I play the Atari recharged games on my laptop and they are fun! If it can run those games and it has a paddle controller please Atari bring on Tempest 2000 and tempest 4000... those games are a no brainer!!!
Defectors sounds like it might be fun. One of my guilty pleasures is playing bezerk (or Krazy shootout on the 8bit atari, Frenzy on MAME etc). Those simple shooters ramp up the speed and put you in the zone.
this is what i don't understand. if you truly want to preserve this stuff then rip it and upload the roms to the usual places... problem solved. Am I missing something? If Sega sent this to be destroyed and it got out into the public, then they have every right to want that back.
I'd buy that paddle/spinner controller pad if it works with Windows/Linux and use it for Tempest 2000 and the other paddle/spinner games. If they sell it seperately i predict it will sell out in a week. I already have a retro linux handheld these things are low priced Linux based mini pc's. If you buy the right one, you can get a well built handheld with every game from atari up to psp/dreamcast/ps1/n64 era and spend about 60 bucks including shipping (plus the time it takes to put the roms on the sd cards..). Thats like getting 100,000 games for less than what it costs to fill your gas tank up. i dont think Atari's handheld is for people like me but more for the casual gamer or a great Christmas present for you dad, grandad etc.. who loves Atari. After all these years and changing hands Atari is finally giving people what they want.
I love the 2d Sonic games. I remember playing this game back in day, but this new PC version looks awesome. I wonder if they will get takedown notices from Sega for something like this I can't tell you how many recompilations and indie pc games are ruined by lackluster controller support in Windows. Meanwhile every emulator has perfect support for any type of USB or Bluetooth controller you throw at it.
I wish they would make an A1200 case with a cool upgraded fpga Amiga inside. I think despite there being more former c64 owners overall there is a bigger demand for a modernized Amiga. At least there are people that want one. I wonder if something like that is in the pipelilne.
