too many racing games today (fzero, neo fusion, mkw) i'll wait for some sale i guess

oh nice, always wonder why they keep releasing sf2 so many times, and this, which sort of beat it in 1993 gets little attention

Nice article, and the nomad is a nice system too, but in october 1995 the megadrive didn't feel like a current platform at all... since EDGE launched in 1993 everybody mind were shifting...

@Quick_Man i imagine 'X' will be the version you get when entering bouth neogeo cartridges... evercade has done that before

@gojiguy it has the toaplan carts with nice smup.. no rotating screen, but the 8 inch screen works quite nice for vertical shmups, e.g... the playable part is bigger than the sega mini V 's Tate screen .. I love playing batsugun on my alpha..

@Razieluigi indeed, used the gb camera two weeks ago to get pictures of my birthday party guests.. was a bit disappointed that could do anything on the pocket with it... still screenshot after editing in software gives f good quality..

nice game, but a one game cart... maybe when discounted.. with the neo geo ones coming I can keep my rhythm at a cart a month to keep my alpha fresh..

@Moroboshi876 yup, hope they liberate more.. btw I read on Redding puzzle bobble was on the new alpha but not on the carts..

@Moroboshi876 the taito were already a year ago in the hypermegas i think

Let us (existing alpha owners) buy the marques!

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

Team 17 made technically impressive games, but gameplay they were never that well designed, which shows now, still, quite happy i got this collection for my birrthday, since alien breed on the alpha is nice... I need an apidya kart (not team 17, but republished a few years after the og release)

@mjparker77 yeah me too, having the alpha and just a curated arcade collection works good for me too... basugun!

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)

nice, but 85 quid? ai ... only vinyl game soundtrack i have is the sensible software EP.. Sensible Software were Rockstars!

Nice. Have comparable collections on the evercade alpha.

@HoyeBoye Mushihimesama is lovely but delisted:( you might enjoy this list with shmups with novice modes, just look for switch https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MZz8Q_8HdGyh2QU9BX4lNgyVAP9JZxxuy_YYbOLf1CM/htmlview

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.

@HoyeBoye thanx for the tip,. will get the for my playdate

@ambifx as far as I know, there is only the megadrive version, the rest is emulation...

(makes me think it should be release for the evercade..)

soundtrack I lovely, I would like to have the rom (for the analogue) and the switch version... but we'll ee what they offer (would love the md version, but I guess that will be very expensive, (and lrg...))

nice, does open some new games for me to try... the delphine collection seemed unplayable to me before this.. (but i woinder if i would actually play it like this,,, a mouse in my Alpha? than other ways toi playt it seem more covenient

so amazing, will buy the card for sure
(do have some eprom cart but not a real flashone for the vectrex, maybe look into it then)

Shouldn't Sweeney play the girlffriend in the car?

Mmmm... good they want to consult the public, but it is a bit of a catch 22,.. if I knew what I wanted, I probably would I already play it or seen it... , but I haven't because they're not translate..
so decided not to vote...

on weird NEC stuff.. check machine nacho new vid btw on the weird sharp/pc-engine hybrid pc x1 twin

mmm.. see some reaction that broken sword is more broken now..

@PKDuckman yes indeed, i sometimes watch jobstm since his series on WADA was quite interesting, but from what i heard it was indee dabout cheating (which would have been quite ridiculous, since there is so much on mitchell's (alleged) cheating already... butsuicide is a whole other ballgame

@alexybubble quite a few apple arcade exclusives went to other devices after a year or so.. so just wait

@-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...

It's the same as with cars... Americans think bigger is better..

nicdee, this actually motivated me to buy a discounted evercade alpha and get that cartridge 9even though i have about a million play to play metal slug now

Since it is M2 I will probably buy it, still, it really is a mystery why Gradius V isn't ported to anything yet... I luckily have the ps2 version, and it still looks amazing, but so many Konami collections out there, and so many ports of ikaruga (and recently radiant silver gun)

nice, recently put a new battery in my micro and a new faceplate..

but the gba doesn't really have enough buttons for an arena shooter, does it?

Saw a video about this earlier today, nice idea.. but the fitness is useless without someform of externe syncing, and only 4 games...... you would be bored of it within a week

For lovers of sensible soccer. Come to the sensidays in holland in july. Www.sensibledays.nl

@damo. Would you like to make a little news on the sensible days? Merci

A tate mode handheld would be an instant buy. Inferested how this reviews. Ds is bonus

Maybe good to add it is a windows game...

I guess doing this interview at the place where his audience is is damage control 101 (@nebzilla). I guess he can expect some criticism in the comments (although i don't see hate here @scalenepowers).

One of the problems with LRG (as I commented on an earlier article) is he selling a sort of illusion, that you buy a physical thing with intrinsic value. I just spent too much money on some famicom mini gba games because of the packaging, so I buy that illusion too, because the packaging is so cute..

But when you sell that, you know the details have to be completely right, otherwise your buyers remember they are basically buying the rom, that they often already have, in expensive packaging..so CDRs and stuff are a nono... That is why the emotions leads to dead threads.. people feel exposed

It make dme really sad that even our friendly retro-commuty gets so heated up that it makes death threaths to failing suppliers

(I know that there are other reasons for physical ownership, but that is not really with nes roms like rugrats or dreamcars gd-rom)

Interesting sentence about the rugrats case, that they had an already good supplier but changed it... that is a huge risk...

@slobbert was wondering about this too... it's been 5 years.. using covid as excuse now feels like you missed an opportunity to improve your business during that year

We love Japanese games, but it is good to realize Japanese work pressure can lead to this kind of thing.... his colleague makes it sounds like a story of passion, but it might be quite painful..

@megamanfan, and good timing, becasue season 2 is coming!
(my personal fav game: the densha de go clone zerozero perfect stop, sound is so good, and the crank feels logical)

not really sure if I agree that zork I and choose your adventure books are the same direction.... but a nice interactive fiction novel game machine could be really fub

n97 was a comprimised product before smart phones had settled... a curiousity, not an icon

Ah it is of course a bit of a semantic discussion.. I guess analogue started 10y ago the 'no emulation' branding because they had to explain why their device was 3x the price of e.g. the retron 5 of those days..

My life in gaming just released a compilation of their old fpga videos... in their analogue nt review they copy the ' no emulation' monicker, later they start using 'hardware emulation''....

Of course they both have a place in gaming preservation...software because you can have easy access where you are.. (the best gaming device is the one in your pocket on your lap), and fpga to reduce lag and to understand how they worked on a chip level..

for me personally the analogue pocket really changed a lot.. I use to re-enjoy some carts... I use it to emulate lots of games on the go... I made a sort of mistercade out of it with a turning screen for Tate, and with the analogizer and snac I now enjoy the same device on a CRT tv too... up to 16 bit I'm now in heaven...

sill my Miyoo mini is always in my work bag.. more portable and cheaper..and achievements..

the accuracy for me is visible in the Amiga core.. I play sensible soccer on World Cup level.. and the timing of running is just off on wine cores.. the amiga was a complex beast with custom chips... you can feel the difference there

@JoeYabuki the gb version was actually the first game i ever bought for my gameboy. The japanese version sonce that was cheap st a nearby legendary import store. Lovely

@Banjo- digital foundry did a great video on the model 2 games showing the emulation to be excellent

i saw this the other day and really had troubles imagining how this would actually work.. and furthermore if it fits my phone (iphone 13 mini).. and then decided that it would be inferior to my existing solutin (miyoo mini plus) anyway.,..but still

nice device, but happy with my miyoo mini.. waiting for a real advance in this.. or a model with tate screenmode...

shoulnd
t you compare it to digital eclipse?
