RedRooster Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 4 hours ago, scratchdj said: @RedRoosterI bought a cheap VGA-to-HDMI box off eBay a few years back and the DC looks superb on my 55" TV. The listing has since disappeared off eBay, but this is the picture.  Thanks for this. I got my CRT TV for £10, and while it’s the best option I have available to me right now, it looks bloody weird having something that old set up in the guest bedroom. I’d love to find a good alternative, but as of yet I’ve not been able to find it. I’ll keep an eye out for this, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a decent selection too with a bunch of fighters, nba jam and lightgun games, free consoles too. I went to this place today. I'd have preferred it to be brighter in the venue. It's decorated in a graffiti style. Around 20 varied machines and around 5 consoles. Worth a visit. https://nq64.co.uk/ They have 2 other locations in Manchester and Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Well I bought a Dreamcast yesterday. Should be turning up on Monday I think. I am weak. Can't wait to play it again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, thanks. I've been meaning to go to that Las Vegas one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Danger Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) They've made a real effort to speak to the locals on the Liverpool page where instead of 'chavs' it reads There isn’t really a dress code, just no tracksuits or scallies!

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2020 Looks like the next Sega Ages releases on Switch are a version of Puyo Puyo/Doctor Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, and a port of Sonic 2, but you can pick Knuckles as well. Hopefully they're not ports of mobile versions. What we really need is the port of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, handled by M2. I guess the music rights could be tricky to work out, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the music rights could be tricky to work out, though. This one's been conspicuously absent from any re-release line-up for years now, and while it's not been confirmed, the music rights are commonly believed to be the reason why. I'd like to think that at least now, in the modern age when re-releases and upgraded ports and remasters and remakes have become such a standard part of the business model, companies would take care to ensure that any new game has the rights to its content sewn up for any future versions. But I've seen no evidence of it happening so far, with them still appearing to choose the quick-buck option of licenced material that's going to have to be renegotiated each time they try and take it back to market, setting fans up for disappointment despite everyone seeing it coming from day one now.
