Pirate more media before it vanishes up a corpo's nose like so much white powder? Don't have to tell me twice.

Nowadays it's easier than ever for developers to get their name and face out there, sans a corpulent content publisher.

Better than anything ever aired on Disney+.

Hell yea. Love the art style of that era.

"There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction they are going!
There's no knowing where they're rowing,
Or which way they river's flowing!
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing,
For the rowers keep on rowing,
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing..."

Now that outrage has become ubiquitously profitable, we've become a "gotcha" society. Always seeking the next nothingburger controversy for those sweet dopamine clicks.

@FR4M3 When people operate under the assumption that others are bad, this starts a vicious cycle that leads to further negative actions. They are operating on good faith, and I see no reason to backseat folks with good intentions. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

@PKDuckman To add to that list, Time Gal Rebirth comes to mind.

I bought it, and plan to get the Genesis cart when it becomes available for ordering. It's good, and worth more than the asking price.

No one wanted to finish the game? Taito, I am disappoint. I'll forgive you if you release Vertexer.

Perhaps it was the change in times.

I still wouldn't dare open a barcade with only 25 large.

I forget if there was outside funding, but I imagine they hemorrhaged money FAST.

"an operating system that only compromises 2% of the userbase"
And here I thought Linux was secure, smh head.

I see Konami preserving Gradius, and
Granzella preserving R-Type.
Where is Segagaga preserving ThunderForce??? ((

AI detection quickly becoming a useful life skill.

Another musician falling prey to the allure of comparatively miniscule sums of money for no effort. At least he's facing justice.

I don't like this Motoaki Furukawa fella. Running off with your fans' money? To the gulag with you!

Microsoft leadership failed Xbox. And like the emotionally stunted corpos they are, they don't want to accept blame.

"The result is an Xbox that’s radically different to the one we’d all come to know. The new Xbox is the company behind Call of Duty, Candy Crush, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Diablo, Forza, Fallout, Warcraft…"

These are things they BOUGHT, not made. Except for Hola and Forza.

Western business is mentally ill at the highest echelons.

But will it run on non-garbage OSes? Like Windows Se7en or Ten?

Good ol' FOMO. It informs you, the wise consumer, that the vendor is weak and unconfident in their work.

I say work, but this is actually market research aimed at kids.

Poor kids don't deserve this. Not after the Stygian horrors they've witnessed on the social medias.

More shmups, yes please and thank.

I'm not reading this ragebait. Not when I can spend that time making money, and using it to buy multiple Switch 2s.

One billion times more fun than Whorld of Snorecraft.
Silicon & Synapse never missed.

Gimme that OutRun 2 cab.

No thanks. My hands are cramping just looking at it, and the screen is obviously inadequate for proper scaling.

@GravyThief
Real sealed collectors have an X-Ray machine. I think.

Angels don't seem so dangerous. Give 'em the ol' Wake up DP!

Wonderful! It's great to see these passionate people preserving!

Looks like it's time to roll some barrels.

The music player is a welcome feature! If this port were able to be modified to also include the amazing DC/N64 music into the mix, somehow, It'd be best-er.

Cool. Haven't seen this one. Released same year as RayForce, interesting.

Paprium vapor-carts on LRG wen? I bet Fonzie could drive Josh up the wall.

The timeless mind-boggling effects of the PlayStation. An aesthetic which holds up with the passage of time.

Et tu, RetroBit? Really strange.
And LRG helping game publishers destroy physical media by overcharging customers on used goods?

Might as well pirate everything not attached to a physical format. It's what corpos are asking for.

I have little respect for LRG, but now I'm losing respect for some who have worked for them, some who have had their hands in writing the Carbon Engine. If that was ever even an original creation of theirs.

Talk about self-fulfilling prophecy.

They will wonder why they don't succeed. Then they'll keep doing what they've always done. Don't do insanity, kids.

Perfect. Shame we couldn't also get the original VAs.

Meh. Another useless tchotchke box that will sit in a stack of other boxes, not unlike the opening area of E2M2. Pass.

Haha. I'm not paying for that.
Memes are free.

Rave Racer, even. Hamster are the only other converters I trust besides M2.

Please Sega, give them Outrunners, Scud Race Plus and Planet Harriers.

Meanwhile, the leadership, having made poor decisions which led to this outcome, makes bank.

Is our "free" republic really so much better than those we fought before? Or simply a different flavor of evil?

Gradius III is the reason I got into SHMUPs. Salamander 2 has a soundtrack so incredible that I imported it. Of course I'm buying this.

If they find a way to incorporate the unused music from Salamander 2 into Salamander 3, I'll experience rapture on the spot.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Very good news! Getting ahold of Gradius NEO was nigh impossible for me back in the day. Glad we have such diligent preservationists working hard to keep history alive!

Haha, I thought they said available later today, but I misheard--it's just preorders. Very excited for Salamander III!
Oh yeah: I guess this is M2's second or third appearance on Steam, after Operation Night Strikers & Night Striker Gear? More M2 on Steam!

Wow! It's releasing so soon! And it has no monetization traps!

You know, I'm really thankful so many old development houses from Japan are still around. There are so few companies that aren't actively trying to send people into poverty through delusional MTX.

@profkross Got 25k usd burning a hole in your pocket? I'll make you a list for that much. Which specific device would you like a compatibility list for? I'm not doing them all, that would take me years, and all of your money.

Joking aside, this "retro gamer" finds FPGA compatibility with 2D PSX games to be virtually flawless. Are you having a specific issue?

No complaints from me. TFVI, and especially it's soundtrack, are peak.

@Razieluigi It succinctly gets the point across. The original SNES cart feels terrible to play.
