General Arcade and Retro Chat - Insert Coin -

So my computer has finally kicked the bucket.

This has been a long time coming. Unfortunately I've just put in a big tshirt order today aswell

So expect a nice big post in the sales thread tomorrow

Looks like capcom and Iam8bit have joined forces to produce 30th Anniversary playable carriages of Mega Man 2 for the NES and Megaman X for the NTSC SNES:

A bit pricey at $100 but limited to 8500 copies of each and they ship in September.

Y u do dis?! Didn't know about this 10 minutes ago and now I'm looking into ordering the Megaman 2 cart!

What's the advantage of that cart over my original Megaman 2 cart for the PAL Nes?

Not enough for me!

I'll probably sell MM2 and get Rockman 2 instead, so my collected titles from the 8 bit series all match!

See someone actually got a 3X3 hantarex videowall going again over on the crt collective on Facebook? It's amazing. I'd post a pic but am on my phone!

Pretty good but I couldn't play anything on that with all those bezels.

Don't imagine you'd play much, just enter your name and that's all you need

I see the NeoGeo desktop arcade thing was leaked.

I love the look of that! Hopefully the hardware plays well

Some people were complaining it only has 4 buttons. It's a NeoGeo

That's gonna be expensive...

It's a mini candy SC-19????

Ahhh why couldn't it be something **** so I wouldn't have to buy it?!

Pity they didn't go for a 7" screen instead of the 3.5". But depending on what hardware is inside I think i might go for it anyway.

If the screen is only 3.5 it's going to be far smaller than I'd originally thought

First thoughts are that the screen is far too small to interest me. 3.5" is even smaller than a standard phone screen now.

The joystick is going to tiny too if those specs and design image are accurate. It seems to have HDMI out but with that, I think I'd prefer it to have no screen and a bigger joystick.

It'll be closer in size to a tabletop game like Astro Wars than an bartop.
But looking at the pics the screen looks like a 4:3 3.5" lcd. Hard to find them these days so if thats true it will seem bigger than a widescreen 3.5".

Hopefully too a controller port or most of those games are going to get really boring all on one's lonesome

Seen as there's a few Star Wars fans here, here's an Irish fan made short film from the perspective of the Stormtroopers thats about 15 minutes long.

It was filmed in Cork, Waterford and Tipperary and as far as fan made flicks of Star Wars go, its the best one out there imo.

no idea,
There was one for sale on adverts at one stage so it must be around somewhere.
