Re: Hands On: Evercade Alpha Taito Edition - A Bartop Behemoth Packed With Coin-Op History

@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)

@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)

Re: Review: Neo Geo Arcade 2 (Evercade) - Garou Alone Makes This A Near-Essential Buy

romanista

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

Re: The Vectrex Mini Kickstarter Is Now Live

@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)

Re: The Vectrex Mini Kickstarter Is Now Live

@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..

Re: Review: Atari Gamestation Go - A Tour Of Atari's Legacy With One Too Many Bumps In The Road

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)

Re: Playdate OS 3.0 Adds A Much-Requested Feature: Folders

romanista

I never imagied actually filliing the 4Gb of the system, but i'm getting closer now, also with the nice gb emulation now...

best game zerozero perfect stop.. the densha de go clone ... so lovely with the crank and great sound

@The_Nintendo_Pedant it's recommended! (the screen is quite vulnarable so do get some protection)...

Re: "Please Support Us" Pleads Yuzo Koshiro As Pirated Earthion ROM Appears Online

romanista

@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..

Re: Review: Taito Arcade 1 (Evercade) - A Welcome Refresher On One Of Coin-Op Gaming's Greatest

romanista

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

Re: Forget Nintendo Switch, You Probably Own A Great Way To Play Virtual Boy Games Already

romanista

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
