Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want To See From Tomorrow's Evercade Showcase?

romanista

I expect a neo geo alpha. Sonce i recently bought a sf2 alfa sort of double feeling. But on the other hand. Bought it discounted and when i head a neo geo cart was coming.

I want them to release lots of marquees to decorate the alpha

I expect some more neo geo. Some more amiga carts (i hope for an amiga sensible cart. But i guess).

I would probaly buy anything amiga and most arcade. Hope that they don’t delay stuff again

Re: Evercade's Fourth Showcase Will Celebrate The System's Fifth Birthday

oh nice, when i heard abouth the neo geo kart i bought a discounted alpha... hopefully they'll announce some more...
(probaboy an neo geo themed alpha as well, which will make me jealous but hey .. i had a nice discount...... might by a Tate one though)

And i would like them to free some of the games which are in those hypermega ones... i have an og, and lots of handhelds so I try to resist buying those... but a nice taito collection...

(and the Amiga Sensible Collection, but I guess that will remain a dream.. Apidya on a german amiga collection (turrican!) maybe like delphine's french one? apidya also might be on a second team17 cart since they republished it a few years later, but (un popular opinion) most team17 software isn't that good gameplaywise , just technically)

Re: Creator Of The Shmup Genre Sees "Bullet Hell" As A "Dead-End"

romanista

I understand his point, but he sort of misses what Bullet hell is..

  • they might look more difficult , but often aren't (as argued above)
  • 90s shmups are more difficult

but I agree with him that shmups have an accessability image problem, and while e.g. M2 make some new modes which increase accessability, the are packed into something only the inside crowd will buy (ddp doj, with lots of japanese for example, eventhough it has nice bit sized missions and a beginner mode added)

maybe a shmup based on a well known franchise would help? would love an astrobot shmup e.g.

Re: Review: Evercade Alpha - This $250 Bartop Arcade Is A Glorious Gateway To Hundreds Of Retro Classics

@-wc- bit late reply but i just bought a discounted evercade alpha.. (lovely device), but you can also give player one a controller, therefore making it equal again..

@koopathegamer lots of evercade games are home computer games (c64, amiga), which were joystick based as well... spend a nice hour playing speedball 2 yesterday.. of and I have an evercade VS as well, but the experience of playing it in arcade mode is the reason i bought this... lots of way to enjoy games on the telly with arcade stick... i use my analogue pocket docket for that...
