I found Batsugun perfectly playable. Just bought the Toaplan comps, but the SA port has that banging remix soundtrack so it might still get some use.

Probably the only Amiga shooter worth a remaster - I'm in.

Played the remaster through last year - fantastic game with great level design.

God, no thanks. Awful game.

The Toaplan comps also have a standard physical release on Switch and PS5, just ordered both Switch collections.

@OutRun22

But there's the A1200 maxi coming for that......

All speculation anyway I guess, all they have at the moment is a trademark, and that turned out really well for Intellivision and Coleco.

Oh dear oh dear.

@Eddietorresjrnyc

This. There's already an Amiga mini, and the full-size A1200 - if it materialises - surely anything further will just be rebadged miscellaneous tat?

Atari have carved out a nice little niche but as we've seen from Coleco, Intellivision and others, stuff like this invariably ends in disaster.

Trying to replay the original on last year's Switch compilation was.... interesting.

Oh, this is nice......

@SaltUrPasta
Some of those look great, but at that point I dunno why there aren't PC versions as well - they're not really 'Speccy' games as such, really. I love anything with Speccy style visuals, they're timeless to me.

Are they actually any good these days? Never played them at the time

Want, but can't justify the cost when all these machines are now so easily emulated, and I have the minis for Spec/C64. It IS a gorgeous piece of kit though.....

@BausRifle no, false equivalence. RD would kill you - outright - for not remembering exactly where every hazard is. You couldn't deviate from it one little bit, or apply knowledge from previous screens to the next.
Example: early on, there's a switch that causes a suspended block to fly across the screen, killing you instantly. A few screens later - same switch and block. 'Aha', you think, 'i learned about this a few screens back'. You press the switch. The suspended block doesn't move, and instead a completely unmarked one flies from the wall behind you and kills you.
Metroid and Zelda are obscure these days sure, but not in that way. RD is a puzzle with ONLY one answer, and the only way to figure it out is to die, there's no logic, rhyme, or reason to it.

Can we stop pretending these were good games? They were obnoxious memory tests, nothing more.

Nice, but I sold up recently. 70% of my faves were on arcade carts, and I already had them on Switch with a nicer screen. I was doubling up just for the sake of a 'physical' collection, which is just SD cards in housings.

I'll take it at that price.
I always fancied a physical, but there seemed to be so many editions I didn't know where to start.

@Trmn8r

It's owned by a **** so fair play to them.

I wanted to like it, but it seemed to deliberately use perspective to set up some really cheap traps.

I don't need this as I have the original.
But.......

I'm gonna be THAT guy....
I think the N64's controller is a huge part of its appeal. Personally, Mario 64, Wave Race, 1080 and Goldeneye in particular simply don't feel quite the same on a 'normal' pad.

@Wezlypipz
Why you giving a guy that's done a bunch of cool stuff needless strife?

Wow, I remember seeing articles in Edge back in the day, but wasn't aware it actually existed in a complete form.

@PinballBuzzbro

Was thinking the same. Denjin Makai - and it's sequel have a great move set and incredible enemy variety.

Trying to compare it to any SoR game bar the original is laughable, and folks doing so probably credit feed while mashing punch, and refuse to engage on these games on any meaningful level at all

It's alright...... A bit floaty and vague, not even the best on the MD.

@Atariboy

Defo, just got rid of all my Evercade gear and the two Gaelco collections are going to be missed

@KingMike

I think you're right - apparently it didn't even come out on SNES. Weird, could have sworn I played it there.

A pretty awful collection really. The previous Samurai release were also ports of the inferior SNES games.

@slider1983
Promising multiple things and not delivering any of them it a literal definition of LYING. Cheesus wept.

Why shouldn't investors ask where the money went?

Blaze, Playdate and numerous others didn't 'hype up' hand-made Android boxes in a plastic shell.

'Gaming racists' might be the stupidest comment he ever made - and that's saying something.

Tommy follows right wingers and is a deeply unpleasant habitual liar, who has also taken credit for other people's work. Miyamoto would take one look at him and go 'who'? Also his Dali Lama story...🤣🤣🤣🤣

CUP is mildly entertaining every now and again, but they nailed this from day 1.

@h3s

I love seeing what they can squeeze out of those machines, like the amazing looking Mega Drive R-Type and Street Fighter.

Why? I don't get this trend of porting games to MORE powerful hardware?

Nice machine, but I just sold on my Luxury Edition as they've mostly been ported to Switch - with Hamster starting on Namco's early 3D stuff, F3 will probably be in the pipeline this year.

@Santar

That's the one!
Yep, RI was incredible on both C64 and Speccy, I actually preferred those to either NES version and the MS.

@Santar

Didn't that get trashed completely? Sure I remember a story about the Dev's trashing all his kit or something?

@Razieluigi

Seems mad that if Sega can't be bothered to keep the Ages line alive, that they don't just let Hamster at them. Still awaiting a proper OutRunners port, and Turbo is stuck on my 3DS.

@carlos82
Wasting your time... He's part of that weird cult they have, like the DJC guy that pounds beers for donations and dresses in a fox outfit to 'promote' Amico. When he's not making videos about how Amico Home could help him pick up girls in a bar. No help needed there at all.....

@mattmayatt
They didn't exist beyond proof of concept demos, but I agree.

@slider1983
They have NO way of giving people what they paid for. Simple question. The Amico releases combined might, generously, have sold 1,000 copies. COMBINED. And they're still telling people that'll fund a console? And YOU are still defending it?

@carlos82
Pretty much, yes. Unless anyone here believes that selling between 50-100 copies each of this utter garbage is going to finance a console that they've already wasted millions on......

@slider1983
At least a god 50 of every title released so far 🤣

It was a scam the minute TT promised investors he could have a console developed and on sale in two years. It was a scam when they launched second, and third, rounds of crowdfunding, knowing full well it wasn't gonna happen. It was a scam when they flat out LIED about having tens of thousands of pre orders. They are still scamming, because dragging the corpse keeps legal action from investors at bay.

That anyone can still defend this is an absolute, total, utter joke.

The Loaded games did not age well. They're ugly, and there are many, many better top-down shooters available - such as Out Zone and FixEight on the Toaplan carts. Buggy was crap 30 years ago.
The whole Evercade thing started well, but, arcade carts aside, it's lost all traction for me. These Giga carts in particular, are poor.

@h3s

The arcade version has some horrible collision detection issues - the PC Engine fixes this and is the best version of the game IMO.

Also Life Force - Geadius-style power up bar
Salamander - instant power up's like R-Type

This was completely different on C64 - played like a top-down version of Sega's 'Flicky' rather than Pac-Man and was really good fun.

@JJtheTexan

And pay about a 20th of the price you guys did.

@DaGoldenBoo

It's for that reason I'm still waiting for a sale.

@Martin_H

Ah, that was a grand time. Stu Campbell and a few others comprehensively had his trousers down.
