    I managed to get my Dreamcast back online for the first time in about 18 years or so today. Haven't tried any games yet but useful for downloading games saves onto the VMU if anything.

    Not retro but I've dropped the Resi 2 remake to play Ace Combat 7 which I'm absolutely loving.

    I haven't played an Ace Combat game since they were called Air Combat on the PS1!

    Same. In fact, Air Combat is the only game in the series I've played. It wasn't quite a sim, but wasn't very arcadey either...it struck a very nice balance between the two. For everything else, there's Afterburner :o

    Never played the series but I do have my eye on the new one, I hear the VR missions are a nice addition.

    Yep! I think that's the case alright. Will try to get some ISOs onto the HDD and will report back :)

    And it works! Converted to NTFS, Journey installed in 10 minutes and other games are running 100% from the external HDD.

    Thanks again Inviere for the help :)

    I'm impressed (AI upscaling of PS1 backgrounds) - https://www.pcgamer.com/modders-are-using-ai-to-upscale-pre-rendered-ps1-backgrounds-with-phenomenal-results/

    They look a bit too painterly to me in FF9 compared to the CGI look of the original.

    The FF7 backgrounds on the other hand look phenomenal.

    I'd argue that the background miss out on the developers original intent except for the fact I just modded the **** out of FF8 and replaces the background assets with fan upscaled versions because it looks awful on a 1440p screen.

    I'm going to Toronto in May so I looked up a nearby retro store. There's a picture from inside the store last year of the boxed console shelves. Many of the usual suspects but there was also a good few Japanese things, even a Saturn keyboard.

    Obviously it will be different when I'm there but it looks like there's a good variety so could find something nice.

    This kind of flew under the radar for me but two companies, Classics Digital and Piko Interactive have been releasing a few old games on Steam.

    There's the usual PC classics but they are also releasing some Amiga and Spectrum classics like Push Over, Sleepwalker, Where Time Stood Still and Bubble Ghost.

    I know it came in for some stick, ongoing too, but the collection of NES games coming with the Switch Online subscription is getting to be pretty substantial.
    I would imagine the cheap NES Classic console and the ready modding of that device to hold the entire NES back catalogue may have cheapened the impact of the NES game collection on the Switch but, for me at least, it's certainly building into a nice library of titles.
    It'll be very nice to see the other NES big hitters to arrive, such as Super Mario Bros 3.

    Fantastic piece on Contra III, semi technical, but not overly so. Game is a masterpiece imo
