Lost Dragon Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I saw the claim about Jaguar version of Tetris Plus and it's source . Seems like pure press speculation being passed off as fact. Not personally seen any documentation to prove it was ever any different and the individual who's YT video the claim appeared on, has a proven track record for making such claims. As for Athena. . I had it on the C64. Fantastic music but a direct ZX Spectrum port graphically. It's magazine advert though caused huge controversy at the time. Minotuar phallus armour etc...

MrMaddog Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Athena, one of the most talked about female Gods. Surly a game based upon her must be good. Right? Ahhh...if only there were home ports of the way better sequel Psycho Soliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dragon Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Indeed. It was a sad time for SNK fans. Will you be covering: Victory Road and Guerrilla War? The latter... oh boy :-)) The ST and Amiga versions were never completed,but the C64 version...shudder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianC Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Funny how the ZX Spectrum port of Psycho Soldier reuses Athena's sprite from the ZX Spectrum version of Athena, despite being a different Athena.

Eltigro Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The family resemblance is so strong, it just looks like the same sprite. Strong genes... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Usotsuki Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I thought all three of SNK's Athenas were the same character. (Obviously by the third I mean the one from King of Fighters.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodreign Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There's only 2 Athena's, the original one from Athena, who is a goddess, and the other from Psycho Soldier/King of Fighters, the original Athena's descendant, Athena Asamiya, a pop idol who has psychic powers.

Yakumo1975 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm a little late this week due to the busy nature of this time of year but I got there in the end.

Yakumo1975 Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yes, It's a Famicom Clone but one that's well built. A great little gift for the kids I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Known as Sonic Wings Special on consoles, this arcade version is quite rare. So rare many people don't even know about it. What's more odd is that the original games ran on Neo Geo Hardware while this one does not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 The Sega Master System is a console loved by millions all over the world yet many seem to think it's a very weak system. Is this a true statement? Well, there's only one way to find out. Retro Core 5 - Sega Master System Special. Featuring hardware over look and over 30 games! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Sega would have included FM sound in the Western consoles, it would have been totally different in the States. That and if Big N weren't such D-bags who blocked all competition... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Its Trojan and no, not the Trojan you are thinking of (^_^). This week on Battle of the Ports. Note that the Capcom Arcade Classic versions are not covered since they are just the arcade rom being emulated on different platforms such as the Xbox 360 and PS3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakumo1975 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Happy New Year to all and to celebrate here we go with the first video of 2019 released on January 1st. This is the updated version of the RS-97 otherwise known as the Retro Game. Or as a one hit wonder rapper, Soulja Boy would have you believe this is his own console. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Dragon Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Machine looked nice, dodgy Neo Geo emulation aside. I have no idea who this rapper is though.. Being in mid 40's means i am no longer down with these popular beat combo folk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I could care less about modern rap anyway. While this device is not perfect out of the box it can be modded to add extra functionality and to greatly improve current functionality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
