Still my GOAT, and gets plenty of play between 3DS and Switch. I can hit the final stages pretty regularly but traffic plays a big part in whether I finish or not.
I'm a massive Inty fan, and was initially on board. But seriously, a week on AtariAge and I knew it was just another retro scam. That still continues.
And Tallarico himself may be the most narcissistic liar ever. You sent his interview as a backgammon 'world champion' also printed in a magazine that lasted two whole issues? Waste of skin. Used his dead sister and dad to self promote.
@drypaphmrbro Tommy Tallarico, responsible for the Intellivision Amico scam that is still shuffling along in a near death state, while putting out garbage like Evil Kenevil and Cornhole on the eShop at 14.99 a throw.
I slept on these originally, but was given a pretty knackered 3DS, which led to me being impressed enough to pick up a 3DS XL (free, thanks yo Yodel's incompetence), and after a bit of hackery, I think it's possibly my favourite handheld ever. The Sega classics in 3D alone are worth the cost of a system, Nintendo's output on it is incredible, and it's seriously cutting into my switch portable time. Amazing.
Sold most mine, the EXP LTD, most of the home carts. Kept VS founders, a couple of home, computer, and all Arcade carts. The random cart bugged me, I'm actually much less cluttered just having a decent little arcade emulator there, without the thousands of games issues.
@slider1983 It didn't at the time, but I was recently given a PAL SNES, and after the Mini, though it obviously looked better, it was painful. Ended up sprinting for a region free machine.
I've just picked up a recapped universal SNES to go with my CRT. The TV is absolutely nothing special, but through RGB, it's incredible how much better it looks than the mini.
@slider1983 'Stalking' you massively overestimate your importance. I will continue to call out the fraud present throughout this entire escapade. Simple questions, if that's not 'harrassment'.
Why did Teets announce partnership and licence agreements, over and over again, when it's now been proved to be outright lies?
Why did he claim a crowdfunded console wasn't?
Why are the games that were 'finished' three years ago still not finished.
Why has Alvarado continued to lie about the controller and console? They aren't coming and we both know it.
Why doesn't the same guy update the people he took money from?
@slider1983 I called you out as a weird shill. And I maintain it. Simple question, why buy a game on Amico Home? Don't insult my intelligence by suggesting you don't have another console. So what's the point if paying more, and jumping through more hoops, to play throwaway crap? I just want one person to make it make sense.
You think that was abuse?
THIS is abuse...... joking.
I'm just puzzled over the whole thing, it seems a lot of messing around to play bang-average games that are already available on every other console, and it's the very opposite of the entire SAFE ethos.
And it's not abusive to point out there is no money to licence anything.

Re: Digital Eclipse Sounds Keen On Doing A Sega Saturn Fighting Game Collection
Most of them are in Yakuza now though? If you're gonna do a Sega 3D collection, why base then on the mostly inferior Saturn versions?

Re: Digital Eclipse's Next Collection Focuses On The "Iconic" Golden Tee Arcade Series
Never played any of these, any good?
As already mentioned, I doubt they'll top Neo Turf Masters, but I'll have a bash.

Hmmm was a decent channel until he hopped into bed with Tallarico. Oh well.

Great soundtrack, not one I'd listen to outside the game itself though.

@Guru_Larry
Was there one? I can't remember the reason for it being console/computer only, but I'm sure it was a weird one.
Re: Namco's Unported Arcade Classic 'NebulasRay' Gets Its Console Debut Later This Month
Sega, if you aren't gonna do it yourself, let Hamster do it for you. This is great news
Re: Arcade Archives' 'Ridge Racer' Rerelease Won't Be A Switch 2 Exclusive After All

They can do..... Both?
Still a LOT of 2D goodness to be converted.

This is actually stupidly impressive now.
Re: 34 Years Ago, Nintendo Begged Fans Not To "Risk" Importing SNES Consoles From Japan

I wasn't suggesting everyone does, merely saying it's the way to go if life permits

Re: 34 Years Ago, Nintendo Begged Fans Not To "Risk" Importing SNES Consoles From Japan
@slider1983
But borders and speed loss sucked. I remember the first time I played an import unit, it felt like it was on fast-forward to a degree
Re: Looks Like 3DO Might Be Getting An Unofficial Port Of PS1 Classic WipEout
Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of 'arcade game X ported to Neo Geo', and I don't really understand the point. This however, would be incredibly interesting

Tough sell for those if us with four of the games already on ACA.

@MSaturn
18 Wheeler? Got a great Dreamcast port that's very easy to emulate.
Re: GOG's Silent Hill 4: The Room Restores Missing PS2 Hauntings To The Survival Horror Classic

Still got my X360 so I'm all good
Re: Here's F-Zero Running On The Sega Genesis (Kinda)
Loving the music, visuals not so much, though I do get how impressive it actually is.

@RetroMasters because that was pretty much the point of its entire existence?
Re: New Xbox 360 Recompilation Tool Will Give Lost Classics Another Chance To Shine

For online play I think?
Re: New Xbox 360 Recompilation Tool Will Give Lost Classics Another Chance To Shine
@GhaleonUnlimited
It's neat, but the 360 is pretty well emulated anyway?
Re: New Xbox 360 Recompilation Tool Will Give Lost Classics Another Chance To Shine
Cool I guess?
A lot of stuff that concerned me has been taken care of by Teknoparrot.
Re: Head Over Heels To Get An Enhanced Remake From The Company Behind The Spectrum Next
Nice. Picked up the first update, but the lack of space states is a killer these days.

'Stalking' you massively overestimate your importance.

Re: Former Amico Exclusive 'Breakout Beyond' Comes To PC & Modern Consoles This March
@slider1983
Because they've not enough money to release the games they already have, never mind 'kicence' something!
The entire thing is a joke and it's best-selling ganes have topped out at, what, 100 downloads?
It's taking them over 12 months to squeeze out a version of a game they said was finished years ago. Let it go.
