I really had hoped Sega would stay in the console business. It seems like a lot of these people at Sega didn't really know how to utilise their success.
@Electryc03 Yeah there's that and some people are against the exploitation of nostalgia. If it can be done I think it's great for the company. It makes Commodore more famous and brings it back from obscurity. The detractors would rather it remains obscure so it's easier to gatekeep.
@Electryc03 A lot of the hate comes from people who don't like revenue making YouTubers or influencers and the CEO of Commodore is YouTuber Retro Recipes so people have a problem with that.
@Honkshot See, if he had taken that approach throughout the whole thing instead of being drunk it might have actually resulted in an actual product. π€
I honestly never considered the Terminator 2 game on Amiga that bad. The Master System game is fine as well. My problem with this new version is that it tries to combine nostalgia with a complete adaptation so much it feels very limited. It could have been much more interesting which is why I appreciate the 90's licenced T2 games more.

Re: Review: Commodore 64 Ultimate - The Gold Standard Of Retro Computer Revivals

Re: Wolf Team's Dinosaur-Themed Pinball Game ' Dino Land' Roars Onto Consoles & PC With New "Restored" Edition
"the Mega Drive/Genesis version was the only one to get an official release outside of Japan at the time of its original launch"

Re: One Of The Most Iconic Joysticks Of The '80s And '90s Is Being Revived

@Electryc03 Yeah there's that and some people are against the exploitation of nostalgia. If it can be done I think it's great for the company. It makes Commodore more famous and brings it back from obscurity. The detractors would rather it remains obscure so it's easier to gatekeep.
