Re: All Is Not Well In The World Of FPGA Retro Gaming

@AJB83 well we can debate over revolutionizing in semantics but for me it has gove new dxcitement to the scene with a new approach.

And agreed the the miyoo mini eg is so user friendly now for
Most things, but for other rhong eg amiga emulation (i play in the world cup of sensible soccer where timing is every thing) fpga makes a hell of a difference.

Love my software emulation solutions but now excited every week when i see the jotego updatss..

Re: Best Street Fighter Games, Ranked By You

@Serpenterror respect, seems alfully difficult to make a difference in your head between so many versions..

(personally i like the 3ds version, the xbox 360 sf4, and hate the amiga version.. such a dissapointment for little romanista back then)

@gingerbeardman interesting to read this...
this seems indeeed like the ideal situation... (btw buy Matt's games, they're great!)

@damien is this site becoming a playdate paltform? kind of notsure what to think of the reviews now, bogutht the tetris clone yesterday (okay but nothing special) and began to wonder why it was covered.. it seems every playdate game gets a 9 here now, and it makes it difficult to choose

Re: Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story Is An Expertly-Crafted Look Into A Video Game Legend

downloaded it yesterday..

1. interesting to play llamatron as a twin stick shooter, completely changes the dynamic (far easier but still)... play the amiga version on my pocket at times...the amiga is basically ignored it seems btw,,
2. indeed dissapointed in missing his later work, since there are some interesting questions to be answertd, and i would have loved space giraffe on the switch (i already had tempest 2k , after atari age)
3. but happy to be able to play the Multisystem...

Re: Review: Gun Trails (Playdate) - A Technical Marvel That Takes No Prisoners

Love shmups and cherish my playdate, so i got this on release (and had some nice interactions with the developer, nice guy)… technical marvel, but have to admit it doesn’t click that much… it’s had from the get go, when my eyes are still getting used to screen… really would benefit from an easy first level…

Playdate is better at ‘playdate’ games i guess… but still worth a try for every owner.. especially when that novice mode comes out..

Re: Poll: What Is Rare's Best Game?

romanista

Good to see discussion, personally i really don't 'feel' the DKC games... and think they are and always were ugly (yeah the SNES can do pseudo 3d rendered things), for me the n64 games shine i think ... Blast Corps is a true original idea... and diddy kong the best kart racer of the era.. And goldeneye has been very important... ( not really feel the need to play it right now, although n64 shooting is very satisfying)

see of thieves i tried but couldn't really get into... imagine it is fun if you feel like the top dog pirate..

Re: Anniversary: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Turns 20 Today

romanista

Think the divisive hing is something of that time, and looked upon from an era of a failed gamecube which changed the perspective..

Mario Kart 64 is quite bad (imho) in hind sind, and this stays as fresh as it was... happy some DD tracks came to the final rounds of the booster pass, just before mk8 closed...
