Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted July 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 14, 2019 Running a few machines at NERG this weekend. Held a WrestleFest tournament yesterday, managed to set the cabinet on fire mid-game, but had a spare cabinet thankfully. I’ll take some proper venue shots today. One of the U.Ks better games conventions in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The latest Retro Gamer has helped me learn that the Game Boy is 30 this year. Fucking 30. I’ve never felt so aware of the fact I’m getting older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRooster Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I recently ditched my laptop to use  a tablet, and I don’t regret the decision at all. However, I’m now without a way of playing Monkey Island. Whats the best ways outside of a laptop to play it, any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you can use the touchscreen to play too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 16, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 16, 2019 Konami announced a few more games for the PC Engine Mini a few days ago. Apparently they've done a little deal with Namco and Splatterhouse is going to be one of the games included in what's now 57 titles. https://www.polygon.com/2019/8/8/20791763/turbografx-16-mini-games-list-pc-engine-konami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Of all the classic consoles that one looks the most interesting to me, maybe as we never got the system and it's even more obscure than the Neo Geo. The new Megadrive mini is getting good but not perfect reviews, it's much better than the atgames rubbish but there's still some issues like audio lag. It's not typical M2 quality but most won't notice anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 17, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 17, 2019 I wonder whether the issue i because M2 are generally software guys. I agree @Merzbow, I always wanted to play/own a PC Engine. They looked truly fascinating. I have an emulator and a shedload of ROMs on my PC. For a machine that is technically 8-bit there are some brilliant games on there. The port of Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition is brilliant. Better than the Megadrive version, and I'd say it gives the SNES a run for its money. It'd be awesome if Konami could wangle a deal with Capcom to stick that on there. It's not out until March, but if I get the money for it at Christmas I'm seriously contemplating pre-ordering one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abe_Knuckleball_Schwartz Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Think I am going to pre order a PC Engine Mini, I am also tempted with the Evercade as well. Earthworm Jim pretty much sold it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Digital Foundry have got their hands on the new Capcom home arcade thingy. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted August 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's a really good selection of games, but it looks like unless you stick it on a table it'd be a bit awkward to use. It'd be good to build a cabinet around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
