Re: One Of The Best Modern Sega Mega Drive / Genesis Shmups Is Getting Another Cartridge Release This Month

@turboxray There are two major failings with ZPF.

1) The backgrounds make the common homebrew mistake of standing out too much. Look at most classic 16-bit shooters and you'll notice that the backgrounds are either darker tones or duller colours. If this isn't done then everything starts looking messy when bullets start flying everywhere.

2) No PlayStation version?!? It's on Xbox, but no PlayStation version?!? What the hell is that?

Re: Commodore's Ill-Fated Amiga CD32 Is Getting Another Chance To Shine Via This "Plug And Play" Mini Console

@slider1983 Yeah but the gap difference we are talking about here is totally different.

The Saturn was weaker at 3D compared to PlayStation, so the same game would run 5-10fps slower on Sega's machine.

The difference between the CD32 couldn't even hope to run anything the other two were running, and in most cases CD32 games were lower quality than the SNES

This sucks and I've reached out to Dan to offer some advise (I've done a few little voice over parts for him in the past).

I think another issue that this brings to life is that Google AI is scanning EVERYTHING you upload to Google Drive and probably training it's AI software on OUR personal files.

So if no matter if it's a personal or professional account you save your personal photos too, chances are they are being used to train its Gemini AI software which is just wrong.

@avcrypt I absolutely agree with your post.

The long waits are one thing which they need to work on to bring down; but when the customer builds this into their expectation it then becomes a problem that's managable.

What is unacceptable is the shoddy quality of the products. The consumer grade DVD-R's being sent out as premium products is not just a flawed Q & A process, it's a company that simply doesn't care.
