  1. Once again, unless Atari specifically protected the side arts on Crystal Castle's cabinet (which is a possibility, but I doubt it), there's no IP to protect, here.
  2. That's my assumption as well since it's not an Evercade branded product, but I'm very puzzled by FOUR new hardware options. Maybe some of them will be accessories, or maybe they will release new models of the EXP with Taito games instead of Capcom or something, but it's still very intriguing. It seems too soon to me to release a brand new handheld for instance; I'd love an EXP with better battery life but there's no way I will buy a new one and it would be simpler to just release a new battery for it.
  3. The previous post was posted yesterday, that topic isn't exactly dead. You mean like this: https://www.pikointeractive.com/home/40-Winks-N64-NTSC-AVAILABLE-p132666160
  4. Since I'm pretty sure The 8-Bit Guy's videos are monetized, it doesn't change much. Every time you post a video on YouTube, it is (automatically) checked for music and film copyrights, which only matters if the video is monetized. So I guess Atari could send him a C&D if they were really mean. But of course he doesn't have as much money as StateFarm.
  5. I got it yesterday. I started playing a little today and it's quite hard for me. 😔
  6. Nice! As a James Bond fan I like that game, even though I wish the gameplay was closer to Rolling Thunder.
  7. And I'm pretty sure that's why Atari did this in the first place... And by the way, @GoldLeader, Taito and Disney would like to have a word with you. 🙂
  8. Exactly, unless Atari specifically protected the side arts on that cabinet, I don't see how they can win. Don't be too hard on PDubs. He doesn't share every Atari-related piece of news; he conveniently ignored Wade Rosen's interview on Time Extension for instance. 🙂
  9. If he got one dollar each time he had his mouth wide open in a thumbnail of one of his videos, he must have recouped his investment by now. 🙂
  10. Speaking of unreleased games: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/03/game-preservationists-unearth-new-footage-of-cancelled-n64-racer
  11. You'll find the answer there: 😉
  12. Well, the N64 controller lends itself very well to a visual novel, right? 😅 (seriously, that would be a rare occasion to hold it by the left handle)
  13. But once again, at the time it was just Infogrames, which was already that successful before, that changed its name to Atari. Like someone says earlier, it's as if Nintendo changed its name to Atari; you would be amazed by how successful Atari is, the incredible IPs they've got, etc.
  14. Well maybe but I've never heard anyone that wouldn't consider the Dreamcast retro, even though some consider it was the first system to offer "decent" 3D.
  15. For starters you read my post wrong. I said the Dreamcast was retro as well. Modern gaming would start with PS2/NGC/Xbox. That being said, if I guarantee you a lot of retrogamers used to think that way, I suspect at least some of them changed their minds recently, since it's obvious these three systems are starting to show their age. Wii is indeed a special case, but people still have a hard time considering PS3 and 360 retro. Yet they surely are (they're not produced anymore).
  16. You know, the fact that you used the word "disregard" instead of "ignore" won't change the fact we won't obey. 🙂
  17. And that's a good question. Even the few tracks he's credited for The Terminator on SEGA CD, that recycle his high school band songs, feature his father's name instead of his on the copyrights. That being said, I strongly believe he composed that tune himself, since it completely encompasses his lack of talent and taste:
  18. Wow, this is very disrespectful of the man that created the soundtrack for Metroid Prime Aladdin Earthworm Jim Messiah Tony Hawk The Terminator Sonic and the Black Knight at least something, idk.
  19. Once again, that's not my opinion, but it seems a lot of people think that way. Maybe because indeed, they still fill that everything that happened this century is "recent" (even though almost a quarter of century has already gone by).
  20. To be fair it happens to me sometimes, especially when I want to go back to a post someone has replied to. You must click on the small arrow all to the right of the post, because everywhere else in the header it leads to the person's profile. 😒
