I have the retro comteollers for switch so i use them at times. Have an analoguenpocket for the perfect experience ans a miyoo mini plus in my workbag for casual play during commute
Interesting how atari has become all about history now. Just downloaded the atari memorial on switch. Really feels. Good little border in my groups between the jap and the western nso apps. Really nicely done. Tempest 2k remains magical even thouhj tempest 4k is sitting on my switch too
Lovely, but personnally i am happy with my white, not sure if they are competing resources, but their firmware updates are way behind planning, so they should focus on that...
that's why i still subscribe to retrogamer, tog et that old magazine feeling somewhere... (and 200 issues means there is some life left in magazines i hope)
@Damo Sure I understand it's a harder to sell 3 million on 31 million than on 102 million, but that is sort of the point Laidbackstrat, isn't.. the relative importance on the loved problem being seen to be far more important than the absolute performance on the gaming market.. ...
Yes. For sure. And it get worse. I recently saw a top 100 of games voted for by amongst others eurogamer and nintendo life and it contained no amiga games at all and barely and other home computer games…
Oh and damien pointing out that banjo sold 3 million on a smaller platform is a bit of a logical fallacy. Selling 3 million to gamers did both, so why only one with a famous developer libked to two platform holders should get the attention…
Just received my miyoo plus.. quite nice size too… installed onion os, got amiga working, but the switcher remains a bit fluffy at times… my pocket is far better, but at this size it will just sit in my workbag ready to play…
I got it running, and they really beautifully recreated the interface, congrats Adam and friends.... will remain a curiosity though, since although they invented time x 1800, it won't be the same as you simply can switch it off and do something else..
My ‘favourite’ moment when i finally got gold stars on the cup with bowser castle. I jumped up and the cord between wiimote and nunchuk got stuck in my lamp, taking part of the lamp down…
I will always remember when i was on holiday in italy seeing a beautful women playing Tetris in the sun somewhere in Tuscany.... thinking of the game makes me think of her...
And on the Ikaruga thing.. it might just be that Treasure was already legendary here for gunstar heroes (and radiant silvergun), and Ikaruga was ported directly to GC and DC.. (being on a Naomi board the latter was easy, more so than a specialised board like cave's)
1. For the legal compilations companies are leaning a lot on emulators developed by volunteers, partly because they still wanted a play a game (see the nintendo example cited above, when nintendo even used a rom ripped for such an emulator.
2. The people who like classic games are both the target group for those emulators and for well done classic compilations, and most of them thefore own lots of them, as well as some of those classic games themselves, as well as maybe having some roms.. I think this is a healthy diet to keep interest in classic games alive... (we would otherwise maybe never have those compilations in the first place)
3. Don't forget the role of game discovery.. I bought fire emblem engage partly because I experienced the gba games..
Thanx for giving attention to this, site really proves its worth.. and for the lovers of the game: we still hold a yearly world cup, this year in germany.. visit sensible soccer.de for more details
Nice to have some mystery again and something exclusive japanese..
alrthough i would love a ps5/switch port ofcourse...
And it would be great in M2 released the GG rom of aleste 3 fro mtheir collection.. i would happily pay for it to play it on the analogue pocket.. (it seems to be impossible to extract until now)
Spend a nice afternoon putting all my GBA/GC/GB titles in and out to fill the library.. nice little touch to look at your collection.. (on the site it showed that it would be like a wii-style diary too, but it's isn't yet alas)..
and i ended up playing bugs bunny GB for the rest of the afternoon... looks beautiful on it..
@TheSilverFalcon I still use it every year for the world cup of sensible soccer (this year in berlin), and have an usb adapter for it to use it for emulaton purposes...
(and did vote for the zipstick as well for the same reason, although i do like my wavebird)
Nice article, I remember reading about this game back in the day; but let's not forget that team 17 often was technical impressive, but without understanding how a genre really ticket, leaving things like (Amiga: Overdrive which was no patch on super skid marks, Body blows which looks nice, but shadow fighter playing that much better)
In Amsterdam, there was one shop specialised in importing jap games, Musitapes.. remember getting Japanese gameboy games from them, that felt so special..
Could somebody who actually has a polymega explainss how those modules actually work in practice? do you remove one to add another? and are you then basically replacing half the console?
good amiga days this week, playing mcgeezers games on my analogue pocket .... will try this one too (although i always thought turrican felt empty on the amiga)

Re: Talking Point: Where Do You Stand On "Ethical Emulation"?
My two cents,
1. For the legal compilations companies are leaning a lot on emulators developed by volunteers, partly because they still wanted a play a game (see the nintendo example cited above, when nintendo even used a rom ripped for such an emulator.
2. The people who like classic games are both the target group for those emulators and for well done classic compilations, and most of them thefore own lots of them, as well as some of those classic games themselves, as well as maybe having some roms.. I think this is a healthy diet to keep interest in classic games alive... (we would otherwise maybe never have those compilations in the first place)
