Re: Alien Abduction! Is A New Atari 2600 Cart From Activision Legends

K I thought it was cool, have a reason to brush off the old 7800 but... That's really expensive. I'll see if there's a review, but I have a hard time believing this would cost the same as the likes of Mario Odyssey or Breath of the Wild. Really cool that they're doing it. I think if it were $20 or maybe $30 I could hop on board.

Re: Insanely Rare Sonic Arcade Game Crops Up On Japanese Resale Site

@Ruka
Ya I think about that Everytime I see a retro oddity. I've never spent $3K on something unless it was like a car. I'm married and have 2 kids and will be finishing college this year, so maybe in a decade I could afford to pick something like that up? The dream is to get a sega kiosk with a DS-16 but also a couple grand.

Re: Chromatic Is A FPGA-Based Game Boy From Palmer Luckey

This is really cool. I wish it had come out sooner. I built a funny playing gameboy color last year and love it. I love not needing to use old motherboards from original hardware to make this nice handhelds.

Unfortunately I already have what I need and don't have alot disposable income. If those carts can read on an original GBC, I might be interested in picking those up.

Re: Soapbox: The Trouble With Limited Run Games, And How To Fix It

obijuankanoobie

My problem with them is I learn about games years later that had a LRG release, like The Messenger. I'd love to get one physically but they go for like $600 on eBay. Do they ever do rereleased of old titles?

Also I'd love if there was a way to just "request" a game have a physical release. Or something of the sort. I don't know a lot about manufacturing games but let's say a game like The Messenger, normally during it's limited run cost $40 USD (I have no idea.) I'd be willing to request if for like $70 USD. That would be more helpful in preserving physical games than having a small window only for those who are hard core. I am relatively soft core when it comes to gaming, I never really buy special editions or anything but I do like to own my games.

Re: Yuzo Koshiro's Shmup 'Earthion' Is Pushing Sega Genesis To Its Absolute Limit

@TeamBigRig I've never openly hated on them but there are games that I learn about years later like The Messenger, I got it on sale for like $5 and loved it. So then I think, "I'd love to own this physically!" Then I go and see if it has a physical release and it did but you guessed it limited run! And now it's on eBay for $500. So will I survive? Yes. I'll just never own games I didn't know about ahead of time physically. Unless I find oil in backyard.

Re: N64 Comes To Evercade - Is Dreamcast Next? "Never Say Never"

obijuankanoobie

So the evercade seems pretty cool, I'm kind of newer to time extension, but I love retro gaming. ROMs and Emulation kind of freak me out so I always stick to original hardware but are companies licensing their games so evercade can use them? I just don't know all of the legal jargon behind ROMs and emulation, but I am interested in this device.

Re: FunnyPlaying's FPGA Game Boy Color Is Available To Buy Now

Super grateful for this article! I'd been looking for an analogue pocket alternative, since they are out of stock and I only want something that can play original carts but with the improved screen. I don't really like modding so really this is exactly what I wanted and it was cheaper than an analogue pocket!
