@Honkshot I think the Amico missed the boat and unfortunately Nex has got in but hey, there's tons of cheap systems released all the time so there's obviously a market there for them.
Having played Shining in the Darkness not that long ago for the first time it's okay but what ruins it is the constant dungeon grinding before you can actually progress. Probably intentional as the game is ultimately quite short.
@gmar But to reiterate there were also games that were impossible to get through unless you put in loads of money because that's what they were designed for.
This is great news just in time for my birthday. If only it came with the two novels. Amiga version is the superior version so not sure why this wasn't the version to go with.
If anyone knows why I'm unclear why the game is listed as a 32 Megabit cart when the original MD game was clearly 8 or 16 Megabit. Does this mean stuff been added to this MD version? 🤔
@cawley1 I have to buy it...I...cannot...resist...
I agree though the Amiga original is the superior version.
@gmar Great point. The clear sign is if mobile is forcing you to pay to be able to make progress then it's not the same as arcade games. However, we must also remember not all arcade games followed your logic and some games were designed to make people spend money, almost regardless of skill level.
If it's not adapting the game's plot and it's creating its own thing it's not an adaption, it's an interpretation and we've had enough of those types of video game movies. 🙄
@gojiguy Isn't he allowed to have a different opinion?
@climbingjudo Or complain about it.
@Exerion76 Now there's an idea. Do a poll comparing the best Gen AI Mega Man art to the boxart of the first two Mega Man games. That could be interesting.

@CopyX1982 Absolutely agree! Focusing just on one thing however becomes a form of activism whether it's modRetro or AI. I also don't approve of TE censoring users in the comments.
Since my comment was deleted here's a more censorship enabled version for Time Extension:
Here we go again into the comments filled with people who don't know what they're talking about...although at least it's not an attack article it's still an activist article as shown by a certain users in the comments worried about people using AI in gaming.
"As for all the AI bros seething on our socials, we're simply blocking you,"
Yeah that will show them... 😂
People in the comments quoting others about liking AI while censoring or banning people is kind of hilarious, the type who blocks people on Discord for not liking the 2012 Tomb Raider game? The guy who believes in censorship of opinions? You're one to talk!
The idea of putting the equipment on the wall is...unique but very strange and possibly creates pressure issues with cartridges. Also, Martin really seems to like Ferrari Challenge for some reason. I still need to buy that game. 🤔

I'm not your bro and I don't have any stock investments in AI. I just see the benefits of it.

Re: Thanks For The Memories! Analogue 3D Just Got Its Most Significant Update Yet
I can't wait to see what the M64 does in comparison to this. 🤔
@Coalescence RA has issues with Retro Arch so I imagine Analogue will want perfect compatibility of the software.
Re: MegaWiFi Brings Online Play To The Sega Genesis / Mega Drive
@billybob884 If true I'm surprised @Damo hasn't reported on this with his usual negativity.
Re: MegaWiFi Brings Online Play To The Sega Genesis / Mega Drive
A great theory in practice. Depends what games they can make it compatible with.
