@flibblesan So it will run on an Amiga 1200?

Sometimes Damien and me need some clouds to yell at. 😂 In all honesty Damien there's a lot of horrible technology that's been developed over the years that has been normalised to the point everyone is happy using it today. AI generated content is just another thing people will complain about but in a few years will eventually accept as a standard. It's also clear you and Simpson both like retro but he enjoys embracing what's new. He sees creativity in the new and flashy for his channel. Remember his channel is a retro stunt channel so he'll use any tools to help him with that.

You could argue as well that entertainment generally today in terms of video games has been dumbed down and soulless. AI unfortunately is inevitable...but I wish it was used for more than creativity. I want my old 80's cartoons stuck on SD video remastered after all. 😊

I mean this is kind of what it should have been to begin with. The Playdate was made my teenage hipsters for retro gaming hipsters so its audience was always going to be limited...and pretentious. 😂

I remember the release of the original game on Amiga so this is great however releasing it for Power PC's is kind of defeating the point of having it run on an Amiga computer released back in the day.

This is great to hear. I know very little of the library.

@gojiguy What's your definition of a Euro shoot'em up and why is that a bad thing?

His music was one of the go to for the Amiga music.

Uh-oh, here we go again... 🤔

@Pak-Man David Wise never even played the game! 😂

4kids was really cheap using its non-union actors. A Sabre Wulf cartoon could have been very interesting though.

Just imagining all the money Sega is losing not releasing their own standalone game for this. Could have been their Pokémon.

Yeah in your dreams guys. Plus it really wouldn't work because the original game had vibrant colour to it.

If they're putting the show on blu-ray is it too much to ask for restored negatives? I mean did they even try to find the negatives??? 🤦‍♂️

If he gets the Amiga rights I if done correctly won't hesitate to buy a new Amiga.

Yes please. Hopefully they'll do the third game as well.

Monty does need a well deserved return so here's hoping it turns out great. 👍

This is very impressive!

I really wish Ancient had been in charge of the SMS/GG Sonic games all the way through. Aspect's games were very hit and miss.

Here we go again!

@PKDuckman I think getting the rights for Heretic 2 would require working with Activision. I thought it would be more of a challenge since Heretic 2 is third person.

@JackGYarwood Probably getting it confused with Soldier of Fortune. I'm guessing all those years ago when I played NOLFE at my friend's house it was the PS2 version as it couldn't be anything else. I bought the PC version not long after.

@shgamer Oh yeah I know about WOS.

Could have sworn it was ported to Dreamcast but in retrospect PS2 makes sense.

It's pronounced Ah-mee-gah. I got confused by the poll question though. Honestly I'm more a little worried with Australians calling Sega 'Seega'. 😂

I can't buy it right now. It's a great recreation of the platform, I just wish it wasn't limited in the units being sold.

Never played the game but I remember that face. 😂

Science is an interesting thing... 😂

To be honest I don't blame him.

@KitsuneNight There were like three or four back in 2002 for the anniversary.

Great to see these remastered. Got them for free as well due to owning it on Steam. Loved these back in the day. Never played the sequels although that would be more of a challenge for Nightdive they should work on.

I wish Polygon did more full length docs on games like Spycraft. That one was amazing!

I've never heard of the game, looks fun.

@Frallum I'll look into that, thanks for the info.

@shgamer I just want to have the finances down the line so I can buy one. No one wants to buy one from scalpers.

Could a stretch goal be to manufacture more units so that it's not so limited? 🤔

James Pond has been race swapped I tell yer!

Or as usual the company don't know what they're doing. 😉

It's like a reverse of Paprium! 😲

To be honest I'm more likely to buy the Steam version at some point. An off branded MD release doesn't appeal to me.

Never even heard of Computer Entertainer but well done making the magazines available.

@BausRifle Fun games are fun games. They're platformers and platformers with memory testing but that doesn't mean they're bad. The person you're responding to doesn't seem to realise that.

I'm not expecting much with compatibility.

I'm getting the impression BattleToads isn't the MD version. 🤔

"If AI coding, for example, just becomes a fact of how it's done in the near future, and if all schools start teaching AI across the board, does Commodore jump on as the world turns, or get spun back out into a parallel universe again, bankrupt, because no parents will buy a new Commodore if it doesn't support their child's curriculum needs?"

This is very true. The BBC is promoting AI and on a program they did they showed an example of AI being used as a way to help kids in school. I'm still however not convinced. 🤔

This is really nice! I am tempted.

The problem I have with his mods is that it adds stuff but ends up removing other stuff.

It's a very impressive port considering the hardware and what the original game was asking.

@Trmn8r Thanks!

@PKDuckman I don't mind an IP changing hands as long as the company who gets it treats it with some level of respect. In this case it's absolutely not.

@Ebertron Are you contactable on X or by email? Not sure if you want to buy anything off me.

@PinballBuzzbro That could work as well but something still needs to be done about recovering the Pond IP from a company that clearly doesn't know what it's doing with it.
