Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Got this recently, a conversion. First impression is that it's a lot easier than the original. Good game all the same.
Also, thought this was neat for what it is,

After a good few plays now I can say that the first level is easier than the original, but the difficulty jumps up big time. Currently trying to get past level 3, not easy!
All in all rtype 2 is actually a stonking game, better than first impressions

Sooooo I didn't *get* something new but I *made* something new.
During the start of Lockdown I starting teaching myself how to build Sega Mega Drive carts. Taught myself how the carts themselves work.
Went through much trial and error burning my first few EEPROMs and then finally, with the help of BanjoGuyOllie's Sega Mega Drive cart repro boards... success!
I made a physical copy of a friend's Sonic the Hedgehog bossrush Romhack called Sonic Bash v2!
I finally did all the printing and stuff today and the project is finally finished after a few months!
I created all of the cart and label artwork myself in Photoshop!
Rather proud of this one! :-)
Ohh... and yes. It works... and it's a region free cart that'll work in any Genesis / Mega Drive.

Nice - I've hacked mine with Just NeoGeo games - I've a very nice little cab
Was it easy to do? Only want to add more Neo Geo to mine too (well, my sons Christmas present!), have plenty of other options for the other emulators that thing will do.Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

Yeah - I'll have to dig it out. It was an image you flash to it basicallyTom Mann Centuria wrote: »Was it easy to do? Only want to add more Neo Geo to mine too (well, my sons Christmas present!), have plenty of other options for the other emulators that thing will do.
OK - found it - it's pretty big though:

Ah stop. I find SNK fighters way better than the majority of competitors. Most of the KoF games are classics and while hard to learn there's just so much depth and they are so much fun. Tournaments are so much fun to watch. Same with Samurai Shodown and Last Blade, the recent Samurai Shodown is fantastic fighter and one of the best I've played in ages. It's not combo heavy and all super attacks and complex techniques all have shared inputs across all characters making it great for beginners without sacrificing depth.
Art of Fighting is a bit weird but AoF 3 is great and up there with Garou as possibly one of the best looking 2D games of all time.
Even when SNK were just aping capcom I like them, I've a fondness for Fatal Fury 2.
A lot of the Neo Geo fighters that don't hold up are either from the troubled period of SNK or else are actually from third parties like ADK that licensed the hardware.

I don't mind the significant releases in their fighting series, but not all of them!
I'll have a crack at it later in the week, perhaps, can't do it here in work as the PC is locked up tight!
The only neo geo fighting game I ever really enjoyed was World Heroes , even if it is "What if Street Fighter II was sillier , and was really forgiving with its special moves timing"

First retro (well kinda retro) purchase in ages.
Picked up Ace Combat 6 for the XBox 360.
Ace Combat 7 was my favourite game of last year and want to check out the rest of the series.
You need to buy a physical copy of Ace 6 now to play it as they took it off the digital store as they were offering it as a pre-order bonus for 7. Can't wait to take to the skies of Strangereal again!

Tale of the tape: Game arrives from New Zealand, has that weird upside-down problem with monitors, get a friend to send me a replacement rom to correct it, rom doesn't work, send entire game to Italy instead of playing relay with roms, turns out mame code is wrong, new rom figured out and corrects problem, game comes from Italy to Ireland, eejits mis-label it en-route from UK, goes missing, ends up back in Italy, sent again from Italy, watch tracking like a hawk this time....actually arrives! Actually works!
This game has clocked up serious miles to get here in working condition, crazy.
But it's a great little game, difficult but fun.

The fact that people love Athena perplexes me but I've brought that up before. And anyway I'm a Castlevania Adventure/Zelda CDi apologist so stones, glasshouse and all that!
Psycho Soldier on the other hand I love... but probably mostly due to the theme tune.

Oh man! If I had known it would have saved a lot of trouble. Still, at least the game went on holidays for the last couple months, which is more than most of us can do!
For those interested (there are dozens of us) the monitor correction is done on P1, NOT P4!
I don't know why exactly but the game reminds me of wonder boy 2, has that little bit of rpg thing that most arcade games understandably don't have. It's great!
Have to get my hands on psycho soldier to round it out, but it's proving elusive and/or mega expensive. Won't be paying the 800 quid or so that some people want.
As mentioned the song at the start of psycho soldier is notable for being one of the first (or actual first?) games to have an actual recorded song with lyrics.0 -
A full brown platform game in the arcade, not just a normal shoot/stab progress to the right - not very common in the arcades right?0 -

Yep, unusual enough all right, not too many to choose0 -

Reminds me a bit of Alex Kidd in Miracle World with the octopus and the first level.0 -

Feck it anyway!
I say I will be good and then somthing shiny distracts me and I have to have it!
Seems that the famous Sean Kelly (at least in Vectrex circles, he developed the first software based Multicart years agao) has released a completed Dark Tower game.
This game was 99% complete when it was abandoned with the failure of the Vectrex in the market.
The game then lay, unreleased for years before it was found and released to the masses in a quite playable state.
Kelly is after surprising the Veccy community by releasing a completed edition of the game, and I picked one up from his site this morning, works out around €31 shipped here for the cart.
