Wondering if you lads and ladies could help me out.

Doing a little project about SNES vs Mega Drive. Trying to come up with what characters/games to have "vs" each other.

These will be illustrated for some artwork so I don't want to have it too obscure. I refuse to do Sonic vs Mario aswell

Just wondering if anyone on here has tried any of the servers on their Dreamcast's, Will try it myself as soon as I get a working console.

Reminds me of the SA1 and SA2 videos I watched that showcased their website on the Dreamcast.

Streets of Rage vs Final Fight? Off the top of my head.
If you remind me in the evening I'll think of some properly.

It's going to be difficult as all of the interesting Sega ones are pretty obscure, whereas even my granny knows half of Nintendo's characters.

Alex Kidd versus Ness is about as equal as I can currently get it!

27-02-2018 12:43pm

Corona vs Link
Someone from Eternal Champions vs Someone from Killer Instinct
Ristar vs Luigi
Dynamite Headdy vs one of the Kongs
VectorMan vs Samus
Rocket Knight vs Yoshi
Shenmue guy vs Turok

o1s1n · 27-02-2018 12:52pm

Vectorman and Pulseman versus Samus and Megaman would be ****ing awesome

CiDeRmAn · 27-02-2018 3:01pm

Ripley (Alien 3 MD) vs Ripley (Alien 3 SNES)
Road Rash 2 Dude with chain Vs Mario in Mariokart with a green shell

Had loads of ideas but wrong consoles or on both.
Skyblazer vs Strider? I dunno if it works.
I only had enough brain rom for work :pac:

Some bad sh*t going down regarding Watermelon over the last week.
Refund requests not being answered and lead artist admitting employees not getting paid, all the while theres been zero contact from the lead developer, who has control over the funds

Jaysus, I see some poor lad had $1500 invested in it :eek:

Be sad if that game never sees the light of day, it did look really promising.

Although I'm just reading through that thread and see there are questions around the screengrabs and that they may be in fact mockups!

Jack burton · 28-02-2018 12:17pm

Ah **** sake.

The whole preorder of games has taken some belt the last while. I got stung for €40 myself off a Kickstarter. Few other times aswell, between that and games turning out to be ****e

I feel bad for the genuine people who are genuine. But my days off preordering are done is say.

Yep, I'm in the same boat myself.

After waiting literally years for things like Pier Solar and Nightmare Busters I called it a day.

I waited so long for Nightmare Busters that I'd completely forgotten about it by the time it had arrived. If they'd stolen my money and scammed me I'd never have known!

Saying that, I did just preorder that new King of Demons rerelease... But it's due out next month!

28-02-2018 12:27pm

Same here, I invested their "gems" into this and the snes game that hasn't been heard about in 3 years.
I have some small hope Paprium will make it out but the Project N is as good as gone id say.
You don't expect this kind of crap when it comes to retro game releases. You assume they're driven by passion and it'll all be grand but then the egos come out and money starts hemorrhaging...

Jack burton · 28-02-2018 11:36pm

Unfortunately most things are like that, when money comes into play a lot of friendships and agreements go out the window

01-03-2018 12:17am

Sad but true. I expected better from the lads who made pier solar though

Grand, doing a fair bit of work with Launchbox & Retroarch given the downtime. Have MSX, MSX2, MSX Translated, Amstrad CPC, & various other systems up and running that I've been meaning to do for ages. Also sorted out my scanline settings. Now, to actually play some games...

It's such a delight to a normally mediocre climate. Getting some nice and heavy snow right now. Got to go to the park. Few shops were open.

I find I get more joy tinkering and setting up than I do actually playing games these days. I dunno am I getting old or what

I know what you mean. There's a nice sense of satisfaction in getting something set up, running, and configured exactly how you want it......even if that's the last time you touch it!

o1s1n · 02-03-2018 5:32pm

Arcade machines are the worst for that, I see it akin to someone spending ages tinkering on a hobby car in their garage.

gmisk · 02-03-2018 7:29pm

Cracked out the raspberry pi today had a blast playing the arcade versions of the punisher and Cadillacs and dinosaurs ...any other similar recommendations?

02-03-2018 7:43pm

Mutation Nation is good

banie01 · 02-03-2018 7:47pm

I finally got around to setting up Retrox on my Shields today!
Much like Gmisk I started out with Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Then it was onto MK2 and SF2.
My mrs is gone NES crazy tho so its a good thing I have a spare in the ManCave!

Shapey Fiend · 02-03-2018 8:22pm

I work from home all the time but needless to say with the creche closed and snow outside I got very little work done! Should really start now just hoping nobody else did any either.

Sparks43 · 03-03-2018 11:28am

Hope everyone is keeping well. Been a bloody cold few days and glad that the worst of it is over.

I have a whale of a tale to tell!

Get to it later.

CiDeRmAn · 03-03-2018 1:23pm

Right
I was out in my office, in Portrane, when the weather turned nasty and staff throughout the residential service were calling off sick or unable to make it in.
I don't live too many miles from Oldtown where we have a campus and I "volunteered" to head there. I get there at 10am, bringing a few staff enroute.
I normally work to 5pm but knew I would be there til half eight.
Then no night staff arrived to relieve us, so I stayed on for the night as well.
Then no day staff arrived yesterday morning, so we were on for that as well!
Finally got moving yesterday evening, I was expecting a further minivan to take staff back home to Portrane as I headed for Swords.
But then the car from Portrane couldn't make it, so I had to promise to return after the Swords run.
So, from Oldtown to Ballyboughal then up to the Rathbeale rd, it was one scary drive in the dark and snow drifts. Got most of the way when, avoiding a car, got suck on a drift. Bugger!
20 minutes of pushing, rocking and heaving the car wasn't moving. Luckily a passer by could take the six passengers on to Swords and I waited with the car, until a guy with a jeep could come back.
30 mins on no one turned up but I finally got it out of the drift and managed to get home.
Very dangerous out there last night!
I had to ring and apologise for not being able to return for the other staff, I'm not sure they understood!

Doge · 03-03-2018 1:30pm

And back home in time to play Superhot, to warm you back up!

At least you got home safe eventually, my friend was in the hospital labs in Dublin since Thursday, just home this morning.
Are you due back again or have you time off for a bit?

Very cute photo.
Got out for a bit yesterday, brought my dog out and took photos, don't think he was in snow before. It was lovely, very quiet could just hear my steps in the snow.

He's rarely impressed tbf lol. The other dog had gone so it might be that too.

CiDeRmAn · 03-03-2018 9:45pm

Can't get the heat into me today at all.
I'm watching Star Wars Rebels with the fire lit!

Steve X2 · 04-03-2018 8:16pm

Been snowed in the last few days here in Bray. It was all going fine until a falling tree severed the power to our area last night!
No power for 16 hours, my camping and hiking gear certainly came in handy, and the views out the window were fairly nice anyway

Homemade security camera footage out the front(raspberry pi and a few bits).
