@Scollurio I completely agree.

@Whirlwound Great to hear! Maybe there's where I got confused.

@speedyb I also think that immediately giving a game a lower score because it's not Zelda or Pokemon will and probably has caused bad critical opinions.

@DestructoDisk Again, I don't have a problem with Damien other than you say there's a hypocritical element to him going on. It's more frustrating with someone as rude and insufferable as Pat Contri and I'm not sure why that guy continues to be rewarded after what he does. Does he have some kind of power over people in the retro gaming community. Maybe not but you could easily fool me into thinking that was true based on how Contri is treated.

"and he had to make the most passive aggressive snide reply imaginable."

I've seen worse in the comments of another article. His response to me here was generous in comparison.

"and received at least one 10/10 review from a GB-specific print magazine at the time. It’s hilarious, but looking through that archive, I see that the editors of the magazine had to retcon the review score down after several issues because it was ranking higher than Pokémon and Zelda!"

No no no, that makes sense, keep the score. 😉

@speedyb I'm more likely to play Tomb Raider than Zelda or Pokemon.

I'm not allowed to say anything on the AI thing but I wish the Oliver Twins the best of luck.

@Thad Why do you care? Did you even play these games?

@Martin_H An angry mob doesn't read. 😂

@KingMike "Panic Dizzy looks like two Palamedes games for the NES."

Remember, these games are from 1993 where clones were in abundance.

"Hell, I knew a kid who was scared of this Commodore Format poster for Chuck Rock."

Really? Okay dokey... 🤦‍♂️

They should have and they actually did as well. 😂

Nice releases, Polymega know their stuff. 👍

Barely a mention of the computer ports. 🤔

@Quick_Man Right about what exactly? This should be interesting... 😆

@Damo Dude I really like your content (when it's not AI based anyway), you have a great website and you seem like a nice person and unlike Pat I do believe in trying to be friends with people you have differing views on. However, my continued frustration is nobody calls out Pat for the stuff he says or does so he's allowed to do and say whatever he likes regardless. It's double standards because other YouTubers get called out in comparison. At worst his behaviour creates a mob mentality (Hello Amico!) as well as elitism.

Again, it's not you specifically. It's more the double standards I see and the stuff he's said on his podcast.

@Damo "this is a historically significant location, given how the console changed the games industry forever."

Did it? 😆

"He's never been 'horrible' to me, either,"

He complained about you about four or five times on his podcast and then stole your photos for his thumbnails but he did nothing wrong? Okay Rihanna.🤣 One of the weirdest things in retro gaming is this idea of free pass Pat. THIS is why I call out his behaviour. People like you and YouTubers don't have the balls to call out his behaviour and it shouldn't be me that has to.

A warehouse? Are you kidding me? When are we going to locate the warehouse for where Sonic the Hedgehog games were shipped from???

Also, I still can't understand the abusive relationship @Damo has with Pat Contri. I can't keep going back to someone who has been horrible to me but I realise some people like doing that. 😆

@TXNC13 Nope.

My mouth is zipped on this. 😉

If only it was available more.

But if they come out with an Amiga... 😊

@iacobus_magnus The axe needs to be touched to break the bridge.

@Right_Said_Brett I swear I read a few years ago he died. Definitely a Mandela Effect moment. Oh well, good news!

@smoreon Yep, that's it, the axe.

This must have been in development for some time if Hugo Myatt is in it. I hope VR support is included. 😊

I'm very much interested in seeing Commodore get back the Amiga. 😊

Really good article. I would love to own the Mega Drive version.

It looks lovely! 😊

@lordlad THIS!

@h3s I mean if it works and plays well it shouldn't matter what was used.

If in doubt, his fault - - - - - - - - - - >

Virtual Boy was just poorly thought out. It comes across like they made the product and then didn't bother to test it to groups because if they did they would surely have seen issues.

@Sketcz Yeah I saw the AVGN review. It looked like a nightmare. 😂

""So I had a brilliant idea: 'Why not just jump over the opponent instead of fighting?' All you have to do is jump over Bowser, and he'll fall. I found it surprisingly fun when I tried it, and I was really happy when I realised that.""

The thing about that is you don't even do that. You have to press a button for the bridge to give out. I'm not a hardcore SMB fan but I think that's what you do? 🤔

@cdog555 Same people told me the Amico was a scam. Anyone would think they were grifting for clicks. 😉

@Scollurio I mean I know I have my restrictions but it is technically more about retro gaming than AI, that's why I ask.

Hopefully it doesn't bring it closer to Sonic Origins by replacing the soundtrack! 😆

@axelhander Exactly!

Am I allowed to comment on articles about retro gaming but devolve into AI complaining? 🤔

I was told this was a scam and never coming out. 😂

I'm zipping my mouth on this one. 🤔

Limited Fun to the rescue again! 😂

...or it was just gibberish because Nintendo knew nobody would see it at that quality. 😂

@GlamReaper Count me as a fan of the game. I'm the one who notified you guys about this. 😊

That sounds like a threat. 😆

Finally, this is the sequel fans have been wanting, not more prequels! 😆

I thought this already came out. Annoyingly it doesn't have any of the original voice actors. I guess fans will have to AI mod the dialogue into the game.

@Atariboy Here's hoping he does updates for sure. It would be nice to play these games. 🤔

@Atariboy According to my records I bought the Mega SG in 2021. Not sure which batch it was. May have been Batch 2 or 3, not sure. Could you explain what could have changed in the hardware that allows Codemasters SMS games to play? 🤔

@CookieByte Thanks. Even if it sounds like the PC version that would be good. 👍

@themcnoisy I'm not attacking him. Please show me where I'm attacking him?

"it's quickly becoming apparent other people don't have the same issue with the same games."

Worth noting a lot of people responding or reporting on me complaining about this don't like me because 1) Kevtris can do no wrong, 2) They're the Amico mob. Thankfully, I have valid issues and am not making any of this up.

"Do your other games work as intended? Is your experience with Megadrive games good?"

All MD games work as they should. All SMS games apart from the Codemasters games work with the Analogue SMS adapter.

@Atariboy So I checked again and no surprise, no change. Used my carts with the SMS adapter. A green flicker comes on but the carts don't load the games. I used both Domestic and Export for region settings. I tried three or four times for each. Most likely if you jailbreaked it the games will run and it has nothing to do with the adapter. Presently though those three games don't work on Mega SG with carts.

"Both that and the Super Nt's last run at the same time were somewhat different than the earlier production runs (both of mine at 1st run systems versus 2022 models)."

No idea what you mean. I bought mine along with everyone else's. I have the latest firmware installed. Have you considered that "FPGA genius" Kevtris just hasn't made them compatible yet?

Comments like "he doesn't know what he's talking about" and "he doesn't own a Mega SG" are frankly ridiculous to read.

@Atariboy I've only tried the carts. The three titles won't work even on a Power Base Converter through a Mega Drive due to the VDP.

@Atariboy "it probably is fixed if Kevtris says so."

But it hasn't. I know why but considering I keep being told that Kevtris is a genius I thought he'd be able to solve this easily.

"I think you must be out of date."

"Latest version is 4.9 which I have. Unless there's some hidden further update that's not on the official Analogue website I have the most up to date one."

@flojomojo Also, are you his PA or something? Can he not respond himself??? Yes I do own a Mega SG and the games otherwise I wouldn't be complaining.
