He was a liar, cheat, and swindler throughout the entire Amico sham, and I find it incredible that there are still idiots willing to defend him. He didn't just 'fail', he lied, multiple times, about anything and everything, from the tiniest to the largest of matters. He knew full well what he was doing.
@Poodlestargenerica Nobody mentioned realistic. 1 & 2 were fantastic arcade racers, 3 leaned into combat way too hard. 4 was so insultingly vapid you yould teach a chimp to play it. If I want brain-dead crashing in my arcade racer I'll play Destruction Derby.
Great series. Irs introduced me to some incredible hidden gems. Here's to another ten years. Sega - if YOU can't be arsed, how's about letting Hamster take care of Hang On, Turbo OutRun, Thunder Blade, OutRunners, Cool.Riders etc.....
An amazing series. Doing fantastic preservation work at affordable prices, often with additions that make them better than arcade perfect. I'm at 130, which would have bought a nice holiday, but I don't regret a single purchase.
It includes Extra, but I was under the impression that always had a re-areanged soundtrack. Either way, it changes way too much for me. I can't get along with it.
TBH the 2600 stuff is of no interest to me, but hopefully it'll lead to.some 7800 titles and maybe a few more Jaguar games. Super Burnout would be nice.
And here lies my chief annoyance with this series - why remove already ported games? Gaiden should have a massive arcade now, but instead I've got to boot up another version to play Super Hang-On or Space Harrier..... It's frustrating as hell.
@JayJ It does seem daft to have them scattered over various Yakuza games. I believe sales of the Switch Ages series were underwhelming, but surely a big comp if all the stuff from these games would be viable.
@Guru_Larry
There seems to be a strange reluctance to port it since the PS2 era, for some reason. I'd have said it's the controls, but the Arcade Archives version of Pole Pisition has just done a great job.

Re: What Do You See In Sonic The Hedgehog's Waterfalls?
No rainbows. Never. In the 30ish years I've played it.
Re: Bringing "Lost In Time" Satellaview Tracks To F-ZERO 99 "Was A Treat," Says Nintendo Artist
@KingMike it's a bloody great track on the original, very tight and twisty with loads of mines.
Re: Bringing "Lost In Time" Satellaview Tracks To F-ZERO 99 "Was A Treat," Says Nintendo Artist
Luckily I found all these as a stand-alone title on my modded Xbox. This whole thing needs tidying up and to sell it as a complete single player game.

Re: Anniversary: The Best Burnout Turns 20 This Month
It doesn't. Because 2 is.
Re: Here's Some Gameplay Footage From Sega Rally Successor Over Jump Rally
Looks brilliant. Can't wait for the PS5 port. Day 1.
Re: Andy Dyer Of Commodore Format, Total! And Mega Fame Has Passed Away
RIP. These names were like friends to me as a kid.
Re: Meet The Solo Dev Whose Sega Rally Tribute Could Become An Official Sequel
@KitsuneNight
Yep, really good games.
Re: Parasol Stars: The Story Of Bubble Bobble III Heading To Modern Consoles Next Month
Eh? My Strictly Likited pre-order is well over a year old, was supposed to arrive Winter 23, and is now delayed to October!
Re: Meet The Solo Dev Whose Sega Rally Tribute Could Become An Official Sequel
@RetroGames
Tad harsh I feel. I thought the two X360 games were absolutely brilliant.
Re: We're Getting A "Classic Edition" Of The PC-88, Japan's Iconic '80s Computer
@Axelay71
It's way better known than this for sure.
Re: We're Getting A "Classic Edition" Of The PC-88, Japan's Iconic '80s Computer
@Axelay71
Come on, it'd sell.a few hundred units, at best.
Re: Thalamus Collection 1 Announced For Evercade Consoles
@Zeebor15
They released some of the most consistently brilliant ganes ever seen on the c64.
Re: Thalamus Collection 1 Announced For Evercade Consoles
A definite buy for me, first one in a while on Evercade.
Re: Legendary Ocean And US Gold Artist F. David Thorpe Has Passed Away Aged 84
Those screens don't half bring back some fond memories. RIP sir.
Re: Toaplan Arcade Shoot ‘Em Up Ultimate Collection Includes 16 Games, Costs $70
@PinballBuzzbro
This isn't 'a' game though.
The Arcade Archive titles are a very reasonable £7 a throw, these are even cheaper.
Re: Namco's 1992 Arcade Game 'Exvania' Is About To Get Its First Ever Console Release
Yep, in the hope Hamster will celebrate their 10th Anniversary with AA Ridge Racer.....
Re: Arcade Archives Holding Special Event To Celebrate 10th Anniversary
Great series. Irs introduced me to some incredible hidden gems. Here's to another ten years.

@Coffeemonstah
Graftgold would be amazing, even if they couldn't include their coin-op conversions.
Re: Arcade Archives' Nintendo eShop World Record Might Be Unbeatable
An amazing series. Doing fantastic preservation work at affordable prices, often with additions that make them better than arcade perfect. I'm at 130, which would have bought a nice holiday, but I don't regret a single purchase.
Re: Sega's Turbo OutRun Has Been Brilliantly Remastered By Fans
Looks superb.
Re: Retro-Bit Bringing SNES Cult Classic 'Majyūō - King Of Demons' To The West For The First Time
Great little game, but more interested in a current gen re-reiease.
Re: So, What Music Will Rainbow Islands Use On Nintendo Switch And PS4?
@Moroboshi876
It includes Extra, but I was under the impression that always had a re-areanged soundtrack.
Either way, it changes way too much for me. I can't get along with it.
Re: The Monty Mole Collection Brings Four Speccy And C64 Classics To Nintendo Switch
I didn't realise the first game was such a turd on both Speccy and C64. The other three are decent though.
Re: Random: Have You Seen This Rare Early Footage Of Space Harrier?
That's new to me, interesting.
Re: Sega Provides New Info & Images Of Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, And Its Other Classic Reboots
Crazy Taxi looks neat. I just want, no, NEED, a new OutRun.
Re: Konami's Arcade Classic 'Mystic Warriors' Finally Arrives On Consoles This Week
Hopefully this should lead to a slew of 90s Konami stuff if yhryvecdmupated the hardware decently. Which knowing Hamster, they have.
Re: Spelunky Is Getting A New Fanmade Port For The C64
That actually looks really cool.
Re: Evercade's Indie Heroes Collection 3 Arrives Early Next Year
Worth it for Donut Dodo alone, it's brilliant.
Re: A Bunch Of Data East Games Have Vanished From The Switch eShop
They weren't the greatest efforts, but I'm still checking g they haven't vanished from my console just jn case.
Re: Digital Eclipse Announces Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story
@BulkSlash
It was brilliant. Gutted there's no IOS stuff on here.
Re: Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration Adds 12 New Games With Free Update

Re: Guide: All Yakuza Sega Arcade Minigames
And here lies my chief annoyance with this series - why remove already ported games? Gaiden should have a massive arcade now, but instead I've got to boot up another version to play Super Hang-On or Space Harrier.....
It's frustrating as hell.
Re: Athena's Six-Button Shmup 'Daioh' Joins Arcade Archives On Switch And PS4 This Week
The jump in quality between this, and the recently released Strike Gunner is immense. I suppose this means Shienryu will pop up at some point.
Re: Daytona USA 2 Is Finally Getting A Home Port, Thanks To Like A Dragon Gaiden
Wait, Galaxy Force is the Master System version? Damn......

Apart from OutRun and VR......
Re: Hands On: Evercade's Latest Crop Of Carts Offer Some Welcome Surprises
@samuelvictor
From what they've said, it was predominantly to do with the MD version already being mapped to a controller.
Re: Hands On: Evercade's Latest Crop Of Carts Offer Some Welcome Surprises
Flashback is actually the MD version, not the Amiga.
Re: The Nintendo Switch & PC Title Xiaomei & The Flame Dragon's Fist Is Heading To Mega Drive
Great Kung-Fu Master rip, highly recommended.

It does seem daft to have them scattered over various Yakuza games. I believe sales of the Switch Ages series were underwhelming, but surely a big comp if all the stuff from these games would be viable.
Re: Daytona USA 2 Is Finally Getting A Home Port, Thanks To Like A Dragon Gaiden
Sold. Absolutely fantastic news.
Re: Snow Bros. 2 Is Getting A Remake For PC And Switch
I quite like the original, it's slower and less frantic than the sequel but still good fun.
Re: Here Are The 10 Games Included In Taito Egret II Mini Arcade Memories Vol. 2

@Porco it has, I wouldn't mess with mine personally but it seems pretty easy.
