@snk2d4life Unfortunately the remastered version didn't have that luxury.

@kirby2000 Typical Blaze.

"The new update (version 4.0.5) brings with it some fixes for the Broken Sword Collection as well as the ability to play the Gremlin Graphics' platformer Zool for free from Evercade's main menu."

Well that's random.

@845H You win the comments! 😂

Got the original release. I'm alright.

This is pretty good!

"No, from my perspective, I didn't want it to be called Sensible precisely because people would compare it to Sensible World of Soccer, which is the best game I've ever made, and they would almost inevitably compare it negatively."

I get what he means about not wanting to tarnish the Sensible name people are going to compare Social to Sensible anyway.

They made it even worse??? 😆

"Then we sold the coming to Codemasters."

Eh?

@Guru_Larry That's crazy! 😂

@PinballBuzzbro I know. Europe made great platformers. 😊

Amazed this still exists. Looks lovely.

@JJtheTexan Most open world games and games using QTE's.

@smoreon I'm impressed it's still running at all.

I initially got excited and then I saw Piko's name. Ah well... 🙄

@KingMike He did indeed although to be honest without Sega's backing it's still a homebrew release.

Oh no not the French! 😂

@Guru_Larry Wait...so to this day he has a complete version of the game?

Always good news seeing this kind of thing.

Unfortunately companies no longer care enough about physical games to make a lavish box and if they do they call it a "collector's edition". 😆

What Atari is doing here is exactly what other companies should be doing with their games consoles.

Orange Man Bad strikes again. Booo, hissss! 😂

That's pretty random! 😂Still, not sure it's worthy of a boycott.

Shenmue is an interesting choice. I can't argue for or against it being on the list. To be honest would be more shocked if Mario 64 was voted top place.

Just make sure to keep the place cool.

I made a tidy profit selling my GC games a few years ago. This online service though is still a joke. 👍

I ended up being proven correct. The framing of poor, heroic Karl against rich, bad Billy really sent red flags since Karl is essentially no better than Billy. Karl even said at one point he only did the lawsuit to get one over Billy, to show he's the winner. Karl's own ego and bias doomed his credibility, of course no doubt it will be those fans who paid for his court proceedings that will pay for his fee.

@PowerPandaMods THIS is his problem yes.

This shouldn't of happened. So many great games, they didn't deserve to be let go. 😪

@Andee I have no idea or using "hacker alias" to describe handles of people asking questions. 😂

@Daniel36 I think the best tool I found for AI so far which studios need to begin employing is using AI to digitally upscale TV shows stuck on video. For animated TV unless they want to spend millions reanimating a TV show they need to use train AI to upscale old cartoons.

Hopefully something like this exists for other platforms as well but it has to be a good FPGA.

I feel like this is 2016/2017 all over again.

Erm...sure...why not? 🤔

"Very bespoke and cromulent" as Richard would say. 👍

@Sketcz Plus Internet stalkers and trolls/bullies don't help with social media as I have been witness to. 🤔

Sad this has happened although their remakes haven't been very good. Getting rid of the FMV, especially in one that's heavy with it like Riven was a massive mistake. I'd happily buy their games if one of the major components of the originals wasn't missing. 🙄

@Razieluigi The big companies shouldn't be giving these people privacy as it just keeps them anonymous.

@Zenszulu It was a joke since all the parties involved have initial based names.

@Zenszulu I don't mean you, I mean these stores.

@Zenszulu Yeah but why even use your full name for a store? 🤣

@HoyeBoye @Martin_H 🤣

@Zenszulu But...who's T G Jones? Doesn't anyone use their full name any more? 😂

If there's money in those hills...

Oh cool, they made a game based off the vampire movie with Mathilda May! 😂

It still amazes me the Darlings had their own tape factory.

She left behind a fair legacy, rest in peace.

So who's W H Smith? But for that matter who the hell is T G Jones??? 😆

@caseyyy They've butchered a lot of releases it seems.

@PZT Hey if he's a character from the game series go for it! 😂

Makes sense for them. 👍

A well written and well researched article. Glad I could help a bit with your research John! I think this article needs to be reprinted in one of your books. The more people from across the world who read this article the better. When VGHF is making claims that Asterix was never released on the NES just because it didn't get a North American release there's a problem of ignorance. We shouldn't be in this situation. My concern is I think some gamers wish to remain ignorant.

"how many British gamers, for example, are aware of video game history in France, Spain, Germany, South Africa, Hong Kong or Brazil?"

I know about French, German and Brazilian gaming history but really nothing about Spanish, South Africa or Hong Kong gaming.

@gingerbeardman "every game article is named for the USA version, rather than the original or most popular version of the game (which is what the say it is supposed to be)"

Yep! It should say Sega Mega Drive, not Genesis which is just the North American name.

Piko proving again how illegitimate their releases are. People want to play as Charles Barkley, not silly Joe Hoops! 🤦‍♂️

If Atari don't own it not sure who does?

@caseyyy ...unfortunately. 🙄

I think it would be so cool if the new film featured characters we haven't seen adapted from the video game series for the 1994 movie and if older characters are used get the 1994 movie actors to portray them.

@Damo I bought some years ago an overlocked Mega Drive. It really ruined my gaming for some of the games I had. Some Mega CD stuff was unplayable or self-edited while a few Mega Drive games couldn't run correctly. Took me some years however to figure out what was going on.
