Quite simply the most batshit thing I've seen for ages including a 15 page apology which was anything but... He was the one behind the troll accounts attacking Octavius too, wasn't he? And all the drama surrounding Digitiser and Retro Revival? Or am I thinking of yet another sad prick in the UK retro scene, there seems to be many.

Ah, ok. Better than some of the mobile ports that turned up on the latest round of the "Ultimate Megadrive Collection". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 23, 2020 30 minutes is short for a Kim Justice vid. She does her homework, though. Made some good documentaries about puro, but she had to take them down as New Japan would kick up a fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 the only one I've played of those is Cutie Suzuki no Ringside Angel, which I used to own a copy of, sold when I was short of cash, and now have again as part of a plug-in for the Mega Drive Mini. It's a great little game, with a lot of daft fun notes to it, though it's odd that they've basically licensed one real wrestler and then used a bunch of made up ones, rather than getting a promotion involved. Still, the ersatz Bull Nakano is called "Megadeath Saito", which is a top notch name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 My Dreamcast arrived this morning so I just want to throw a sicky and go home and play it. Don't know where to start really. So many games I want to play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 24, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted February 24, 2020 I was working a ComicCon thing yesterday, and it's probably for the best I didn't bring much money... Though this did make me realise that I never knew they did a Streets of Rage port on the Game Gear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Retro game stalls at comic cons and similar are my weakness. I really should take myself along to a Play Expo or similar as I think I'd love those but it's just finding the time. They're never too near me.

Play Margate was this weekend Revival is next weekend in Walsall, I think. Then for the rest of the year there's Play Blackpool, Play Manchester, NERG Manchester, Revival Part 2. RCM Events at Bletchley Park. I'm sure there's loads I've missed but, in the main there is at least one covering everywhere bar Cumbria. Not sure about Scotland either Really good fun. Also can some kind soul direct me to a reasonably priced raspberry pi with retro pi and roms.. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be pedantic here, but just to clear it up, NERG is in Gateshead, not Manchester. I have to ensure people know where it is 😉👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
