Good channels, magazines are a good subject... would love an amiga power ofcourse (although i know most of it by now), think i only once flickered to EGM in the end of the C64 era ore something and found it quite 'textfree' with mini reviews and stuff, but I'll watch it to see if i am wrong
@flojomojo on the pocket they added an update so you could read the sd card by just connecting you device to you laptop, so i guess it is that (and the would sort @whiteumbrella 's problem with the sd card too)
@mjparker77 yup i get your point. I prefer playing some of those on the switch as well. Have my old switch 1 sitting next to it on my standing desk. So DOJ there in tate mode. And I play Futari (just bought this one) on my xbox 360 in the loft on a crt... But still love this for the format.... (and they somehow trickly some collectors gen in me, i even ordered the rare cart now, don't really like those early games)
@mjparker77 did a quick search recently, but couldnt find it.. did buy the laggy AstroV, which is not as bad as they say, to have some Tate.. but the evercade is far more a serious game machine for me, play it almost every day, because i have it on a tactical spot... just a little quick arcade moment...
@damo, you refer when talking about the Dpad to the role of the XB360 as 3D action titles, but for me it is mainly s Shmup -conversion machine at the moment (e.g. Futari is only there), combined with a sega arcade (Outrun 2, Daytona, Afterburner, Climax) how does this controller hold up for this use case...?
(currently using my old 360 controller via a usb part of old charge kit, batteries don'f fit anymore and a hori fight stick ex2)
@mjparker77 looked for a egret mini II but don't think you cna easily buy them at the moment ... do love my evercade, nice and sturdy... and doesn't the egret have the same screen size as the Sega Astro city V, this is almost twice as big..
Love my alphha SF2, even put a new ballstick on it.. for me the perfect little desk arcade... (i have a standing desk).. just waiting for a tate alpha now
@sketcz (only now realisse you're john from japanese gaming books0, if you really want bloodsport come to londen this weekend, a bloody swos tournament! london calling VIII
I always thought metal slug would be the logical 'hidden' game, if you would enter both nr 1. and nr 2. and they have the rights anyway (it being on the pocket).. but i guess that was just a dream
garou is certainlyu my favourite classic fighting game, so having that game on my alpha is really on of the reasons to get it in the first place...
Still, enough fighters now after nr 3... time for some other neo geo classics on nr 4... maybe a sports edition with neo turf and baseball superstars
@Sketcz i akready hed rip off (original), and now got minestorm (since you gotta have that), protector (own the homebrew cartride) and tour de france.. (noit such a great game, but so interesting that they made such a niche game for it then, this was pre greg lemond, pre armstrom, and i like its rendition of the marseillaise)
@ChromaticDracula if you want that the OG evercade does that. Current evercades make you choose. Exp for handheld. Vs for tv. Alpha for its own little arcade paradise
@Crabbitsteve those are quite pricy though, esp with games... I love my real vectrex, even got some basic multigame thing for it, but got this one (founder's edition, yeah, nr 79) for the overlays and it's general cuteness
What i would like a kickstarter for is a reprint of all the original overlays..
Nice to hear, enjoying this game a lot..(and it's soundtrack) does that stick also work on the switch (in the original stick review there's something about an adapter?
(i get why you put radiant silvergun in the top, but isn't sin and punishment more relevant here as fellow rail shooter)
@gingerbeardman for what's worth, just bought it, and it did gave me an adrenaline rush the original never gave me..I bought the operation wolf / nightstriker port of M2 in august
(and support M2!)
Update: Wow that soundtrack
Update 2: Do see that the original goest 6 layers deep, this one only 4
@Martin_H thanx.. btw i do hace a few of those ios ports which are nice, but so dissapointing they were never update for controllers (and have an icade, that would have been amazing too)
Not really care about those old atari games, although i lioke the spinner (and nice to have the atari collection on switch)
maybe good to mentions you can also emulate lynx @damo , since with it you can relive the atari portable experience
The jaleco/piko group is interesting in the sense that evercade also has some carts out, and some evercade licenses are running out.. wondering if that means myarcade has taken those over, and the other way around, if this means hope that evercade will get an out run cart (my arcade will release a micro outrun cab next month)
not sure what a preorder means when there has been a kickstarter. ... but i guess they now ordered more then what they have already sold.... wonder when i will get mine (kickstarted 3 months ago)... feel like some timecrisis now.
oh excellent.. always wondered how i could get into these games, whenever i saw one of these games, like the ddp version mentioned
maybe unknown to most people, butthe dutch kpn mobilie operator had deals with ntt docomo to bring those iMode games to the west... but only managed to do a phew
@HammyHavoc i get what you're coming from , but this game is aiming at such a specific demographic, that the business case LRG put forward for thrm just wasn tthe correct one... i couldn't get the special controlller (sold out eventhough in production) , i fear the fysical cart will be as well, and my megadrive hasn't the best rgb output, so i'm very happy that i can play it now on a crt via my analogue pocket, using the rom i bought as [art pf the steam release ( i even bought it for the switch as well, since it is nice to play with the megadrive pad..
Love the game, and just tried this, is done with attention. although it is good to mention the original is SGB enhanced which also gives a nice effect.. (not tried this one on the sgb yet..)
On space invaders: wasn't the original black and white with stickers providing the coloring? what version are looking at..
Got both versions and now having bubble bobble on my (sf2) alpha feels really nice, natural fit... and some of the others on my discount exp i bought now the model is announced
@Boopero I thought that too, the otjer taito colection does contain the yoyo game which feels a bit qixi
for me it is the otherway around.. red viper made me inspired to break more interested in the virtual boy (just as Jon Cartwright and John lineman's videos)..the vb seems to get a second chance and nintendo's offering gives us that opportunity...
sure it is (too) expensive, but/and a niche product, but will save this part of gaming, and celebrate gunpei Yukoi's legacy ... the way it failed and was mostly ignored (except by warioware!!) didn't reflect nicely on big N
Dutch ditributor bold just loeerd theold exp 2024 one to 94 euros. So i got that instead. Live my alpha, og and vs. it really is a nice ecosystem to collect for. (And some people have had bad cartridges but not any decay yet. Do wonder how long they will last in the end ofcourse. But most of my 10+ year old sd cards are still alive)
