romanista

welcome back Martyn! I just sorted all my issues, and had that famous number 1 (think they gave it remade after 10 years ors) in my fingers... remember the first being destroyed by Stuart Campbell, who later freelanced on it in the imagine publishing time... but it grew on to be something amazing... how many niche magazines reach this age...

I'll fire up my micro to celebrate!

The gba sp was my return to 'current' gaming after just playing my old amiga and losing a bit of interest during studying.. (why I didn't buy a Nintendo 64 during those days I can't imagine)... And selling that Zelda special edition might still being my single stupidest gaming decision...

Anyway.. did get a cheap micro, and now my analogue pocket is my super gba,,,

fav gba games: Wario ware, advance wars, kukukurin, Mario tennis ..

@GravyThief haha, my kids have a similar sentiment when going to an arcade without those ticket producing games... 'what is the point'' different times..

@Hydra_Spectre a dolphin bar? they made a wii-bar to use for dolphin? i must investigate this!

@NoirConceit agree on one site, i don;'t need to have them popping around... but for games you've played so much, this really can give you a new way of playing them... (like sensible soccer using only 1 button for example, amiga style)

actually sold this one unopened, since the ocean blue became available again... that will arrie next month orso... (obv i have the blue analogue 3d).... so many 8 bitdo controllers here now (just got the earthion m30 .. beauty), they mighht have to start a family.,.

It’s mainly wii sport resort i think. Quite curious this happened hust after nintendo suing the us fot those tariffs. But fits in the pattern of the orange dictator trying to mix ai with popular culture and appropriaring it.

Streetpass without the games actually using them like tomodachi seems a bit pointless, think it is great streetpass is kept alive on the 3ds, but this might be a nice passion project, but sort of misses the point

It's certainly becoming a nice network of legendary game exectuives.. but wondering wha thet actually are going to do next to making a really nice c64 clone...

Nice addition to my arcade lineup (I just finally secured a Atari arcade one somewhere in poland)

Cadash got me wondering, are there more Arcade-RPG like that, wondered how that would feel in the arcade, that minute it takes to make your character...seems so much more a console game

Found football champ a bit boring, but haven't tried it multiplayer..

ah this is the nes version,... my nobunga need has been filled my the snes drop on nso last year

Shouldn't they have added at least another P then..

used to do a bit of psppppp emulation, but sort of superseded by using adrenaline on my vita..

Mmm..i have already the digital eclipse coll3ction (and finally obtained atari arcade 1 for the evercade yesterday). Do wonder if they3ver make a jaguar style controller for thepolymega.

Ah, like i hoped it would be... always hated the up to jump mechanic on the amiga for runandgun, so great that it has been adapted.. should look nice on the alpha...
(think they made it two buttons on the amigavision collection as well, will try)

Since i always here great stories about the cex i went to london cexxes last november... basically they had lots of ps4 and switch games, with some a few from the generations before, but nothing like the retro game shop i imagined it would be... maybe bad luck, but my expectations were soo high...

If they're doing compile stuff: please give us Guru Logic Champ! By far the bestest gameboy advance game (IMO ofcourse).. perfext for nso ..

playing wirelessly with 8bitdo controllers, zo not that much i nthe market for this... nice to have one in the same style though

Mm.. looked at the lrg site but couldn't order this.. and wil it work on a standard european megadrive.? (bought it already twice)

@BIGGIT those who wait...

NIce, i suddenly saw this appearing as well and wondered if it was the same release, this seems reasonably priced, and M2... Nice to compare it to my Toaplan on my alpha then..

@mr_benn yes my thoughts exactly... interested to see how thijs works...

wonder if the price now has gone down due to the vb launch

nice, been m=playing them om my model Wii for some time now,... really interesting variations on well known game

Ah just installed this yesterday, since i saw a headsup on X my stggames... and my analogue 3d protycolor ocean arrived friday.. perfect timing... This is sureyl going to be in my top 5 played games now...

@Razieluigi I still don;t get why that dac support is so complex for them... if it works with there older ones...and fits into a hdmi.. how hard can it be, but i guess we're missing something...

really happy with my Analogizer, and that website for gb camara management.. community is doing what analogue won't i guess...

still with this n64 /a3d I think it is a different situation, in a way they really overperformed with that unleashed mode... , which they didn't advertise (i actually cancelled my preorder)... And people complaining about the upscaling/4k didn't understand the nature of the project i'm afraid.. (i am happy if i want that i play them on nso, but the 32bit cxolor thing does so much more to improve the image)

so in the end i caved in and now waiting for that ocean blue one

@Martin_H that is one of the nice pnes for sure.

Followed you @damo. Discoveredthis when last time setting up Retroarch on my tv a few years ago. And now on my miyoo mini it’s lovely and great how it transfers to everywhere i set ituo and even works into exophase

And i not really an zchievement person normally but some old games now i only feel like playing again if offers a nicew challenge. Just like nes remix did ob the wiiU

Nice. Actually finally bought the cart recently. Lovely game

Mmm thecontrollers are already sold out

Mmm probably will get it, since evercade makes you collect stuff, but not sure if it is a great way to play... (at least the pc versions).. most of my evercade gaming is on the alpha, so that is a miss match anyway..

@JaxonH agreed. That is why i don’t agree with thepremise of the article. The 3ds wasn’t yokoi. But yokoi also wasn’t the 2ds. Since there wasn’t too much lateral thinking on that as welll. It would have been a marginal da upgrade

On the article: think it is more about the author than about the 2ds in the end. Sure it looked a bit drab but fulled a niche. That wasn’t really in question then, proven by that they also made a new 2ds.

@Martin_H although i agree with stu at the time and it seemed true during 2012-14, haven’t we be going back to dedicated devices since. The gopros. The handhelds etc. But thet all have to do something the phone doesn’t

@MetalKingShield ha, bit late, but this excactly what they did in the end... love my evercade alpha sf2

love to see the banana joystick for monkey ball, but if you really want to see an arcade getting that japanese vite, you should look at akiba district in utrecht (nl) : https://www.akiba-district.com/

This resulted in me modding every version i could find (DS, Android->Vita) and writing a long reddit post on gravity in monkey ball https://www.reddit.com/r/SuperMonkeyBall/comments/1qeguhi/gravity_responsibility_and_the_long_shadow_of/

(not boob defying gravity)

@damo they are found! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OBT1iwfyl0

I got the vce one after reading so many artiles on the original/ american one. Really tried to get my head around what it would be like. Played it on and off for 10 years or so until i got the 3ds version. (Still want to work at brewster’s again). Most played NH due to the pandemic ofcourse. We srarted with a new island in november. And just got brewster back yesterday. In time for this upsatet

mmm.. as others have said, this sees like a pointless remake, really do feel like putting the nzl story in my evercade alpha tonight.... time to save some kiwi!

ah typical made for tv italian cinema from the nineties.. loveit... (when i was drunk in rome and needed this)

ordered mine a few weeks ago.. it was this or the analogue 3d, and in the end decided to go for this, mainly since it can play saturn... (if al those funtastic colors were sold out it might have been different

nice games indeed.. think our Atari CEO has modded his Wii/3ds;)

@jobvd sure. But in alovely new hardware kind of way..

It might be the best retro hardware if 2025, but hopefully i just threw in my lot with the best hardwarwof 2026, the superstation…

update: mauro has [published a christmas special beta @damo

Still have the manual to the first amiga F1GP, it is so nice like a complete introduction into the sport, with all the circuits etc...

Loved the original, but great game to have on switch (2)... pick up and race!

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

damn, been reading him for so many years... hugs to all involved

haha, nearing 1000000 in pounds .. it's a french project.. in euros we've surpassed it already;)
