@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.

@Ebertron That's cool. I'm trying to sell some newer gaming mags myself along with some other stuff. Been very difficult as the newer stuff doesn't seem to be desirable.

(reads the article) I still don't know what a Peri Fractic is. 🤔

@Mayhem He needs to own Amiga again that's for sure.

I want to see a happy ending to this. Chris Sorrell needs to make a big enough fuss about it to get the character back in his hands, away from these people. Distancing himself is just letting the character rot, not rescuing the IP.

That's not great, however ask yourself how many times does this happen? Putting the spotlight on a company is all well and good but I very much doubt in Evercade's growing library this is a one off scandal. 🤔

@failaz1986 I have to agree here. It probably happens all the time with bigger titles past and present.

@Exerion76 Are you kidding??? Metal Dragon is awesome!

@WileyDragonfly "Is the ROM easily removed from Steam?"

Why don't you buy it? Wait...your comments history man, what the hell??? 😆

Again I wish Sega would publish these games, leaving money on the table. 😆

I very much doubt Nostalgia Nerd's response will satisfy the anti-YouTuber trolls like Simon Butler, George Bum, Retro Simp, etc. They don't really have priorities about exposing what are actual issues in gaming. I had zero interest in Barcadia and due to the location didn't see the point. However, I don't think it was a scam. By being a YouTuber however he made himself a target of troll accounts, some who tend to obsess about Kieran Hawkin among others as well. I can confirm he has blocked the negative reoccurring faces that have appeared on his social media accounts.

@Martin_H Nostalgia Nerd. The people who came after him hate YouTubers.

It's called SegaMags but sells Nintendo mags? 🤔

@Andee In the first game as James Pond you had to dispose of rubbish I think. 🤔

AI has come for James Pond! He deserves better than this! 🤦‍♂️

@Ristar24 All three were a lot of fun and are pretty enjoyable platformers. I do have a soft spot for the first game as well.

A sequel is great although remasters of the first two games with better frame rates would be more helpful at this stage.

I really wish these had official releases. Sega leaving money on the table as usual. 😪

@h3s Half the library was made for PAL so that could explain why. Anybody playing Lucky Dime Caper in 60fps is playing it incorrectly.

@HoyeBoye Oh you should try more. The SMS library is incredibly underrated.

@cawley1 "Just your typical retrogaming nobhead, hiding behind a keyboard and monitor."

Oh the irony of the person you're responding to. 😂

@HoyeBoye I tried lots of demos from magazines so that's how I knew about games even if I didn't have the money to buy them.

That is a big doc!

@HoyeBoye Got ported to everything although Amiga and DOS were the lead platforms.

(looks at the comments) Here we go again! 🙄

The game would have played better had they not changed the gameplay mechanics from the original. That's what I hear. My friend felt let down because he was expecting the gameplay of Duke Nukem 3D.

Notorious? No Both the game and film are flawed but fine.

@Damo Did the Sinden have the same issues with light interfering with the gun working?

What they need is for a company to mass produce the machine so it's not limited otherwise the install base for this who buy the games will be tiny.

@PinballBuzzbro Paprium is much better than SOR4 and Shredder's Revenge, come on. 😆

@BausRifle I meant to say technical expertise as well. 😊

@FR4M3 I think that's later down the line. Right now they're planning modern platforms.

@BausRifle I mean if I had the resources I'd become a YouTuber. I don't think career choices has anything to do with it. It's more if you have an ongoing YT account that you have to be careful what you show to your audience.
