The Spectrum Next cased model is hopefully not too far away now though.

Getting Super Excited now. I can't wait to get my Spectrum Next Now. Sir Clive really backed the wrong project although not the first time he got things wrong!!

Just discovered Megaton Rainfall and it seems like a PSVR game even Retr0gamer would approve of!

It reminds me of Earth Defense Forces except not as linear and you can fly around the earth and space, defending cities from Alien attack.

Any of you lads have much experience buying from Japan? I've noticed the sellers are fairly competitive and the games don't seem to be as scarce either. I've seen 3-4 copies of a game all priced the same whereas PAL versions on eBay there'd be 3-4 copies in total. Shipping rates are feck all too. Don't mind waiting 2-3 weeks. Just looking at picking up the odd game. Mainly rail shooters or fighters.

If it’s rail shooters or fighters you’re after then the language barrier shouldn’t be a problem. Just make sure your console can play the games and isn’t region locked. Or you’ve got a modchip or whatever. I’ve sourced most of my games from Japan because they’re usually much cheaper in general and nearly always in fantastic condition.

Drunken Atavan time. Unless you’ve seen a drag queen perform to this song you haven’t lived, because men are trash.

Right guys i'm stuck for space and cant decide what to keep, the amstrad cpc464 or the atari st 520stfm, enjoy both of them but cant choose which to part with.
I like both equally, which is the more powerful of the two, i'm leaning towards the ST since its boxed but hard to make a decision.

Go with the ST !

Rum and country music? An eclectic choice Sir Halen. When drinking rum, this is what you should be listening to

Yep, KV-21LS30B. Great little TV she is, colours just pop.

Do you know what the difference is between the LS30B and the LS35B line of Sony Trinitrons? Looks like they have the same FE-2 chassis, just not sure of any other differences. Think I'm about to snatch a KV-29LS35B....

Better line up on international version imho with last resort. all the slugs, mutation nation and shock troopers. Undecided yet but if I do pick one up it'll be the Japanese version becasue its looks a lot better and I'am sure itll be ahem 'fixed' to play whatever games you want.

14-06-2018 12:09AM

I think I want the Neo Geo Mini. I have a feeling I'll be unpleasantly surprised by the price though

It looks freaking awesome but is that his real voice on the presentation? I though it was dubber till I lip read.

Couldn't care less about the system anyways.

o1s1n · 14-06-2018 01:03PM

International game list is better, but only just.

Jap version has Alpha Mission II, Twinkle Star Sprites and The Last Blade over it. (Can't believe they only included The Last Blade 2 on the Int version)

Also, where the **** is Puzzle Bobble?!

Anyone see the following video? The Japanese version looks miles better. International one doesn't really look like it knows what it wants to be.

DinoRex · 14-06-2018 01:15PM

I still don't get why they didn't just do a mini AES with HDMI out and one of those nice control pads.

The tiny stick and GBA SP sized screen are just awful looking.

14-06-2018 01:15PM

Yeah Japanese version looks far nicer.. Who needs so many kof though.. It'll be hacked in no time anyways making the gameslist irrelevant. Not hearing great things about the controllers though, hands on impressions say they feel cheap.

Definitely, I'd have been interested in that.

Shapey Fiend · 14-06-2018 03:57PM

The AES is such a pretty console but half that is the finish. I don't know if they'd be able to do a mini version that does it justice?

This looks like an effective novelty product to put on store shelves. There isn't a huge shared nostalgia for the AES because nobody here had them back in the day but they'd probably find the mini arcade machine appealing. There's no way I'm going to want to play these games on a 7" lcd screen for more than 10 minutes.

CiDeRmAn · 14-06-2018 04:15PM

So, time to pick up a NeoGeo X, strip it out and install a dedicated NeoGeo image on a RPi inside.
Better than that thing.
I would imagine it must be licencing but there isn't Neo Turf Masters or Neo Drift Out.
I wonder if this will be a device that can be hacked... we shall see!

14-06-2018 04:33PM

And no Street Hoop. I'd say it'll be moddable alright. It's easily connectable to a pc and there's onboard memory.
Although to be honest I'm only saying that to convince myself it's true
