Sneak Bubsy 1 and 2 on his list when he's not looking. 

I believe I watch majority(all) of Battle of the Ports, I started from current all the way to the voiceless videos.  I'm glad you added voice over.  It's nice to hear information about your experience playing the game and I do like your voice. 

I think adding the voiceover was the best choice for the show.  I'm glad you like them.

You know what, Maybe I will do Bubsy just for a laugh.  Someday in the future.

 

New video today in the Retro Core 5 series.  Let's take a look at Sega's first coloured handheld.  It's better than you thought.

Yesterday was the unboxing.  Today, the battle. 

 

 

[Mad Stalker]

Put a video together of this if anyone is interested in seeing the production quality of the cartridge and game running.

It's 64bit but will it be in 64bits after using it?

A while back we covered Detana Twinbee but now it's time to take a look at the original game.

New life in Japan.  Let's go around the castle, night city, horrendous rain and more.

BTW Mark, do you plan to cover Fill-In-Café's Mad Stalker: Full Metal Forth? The previously unreleased Mega Drive version is coming out soon so there's a suggestion for a future episode

I do indeed.  My copy should arrive this Thursday according to Amazon.  So looking forward to that one.

 

New video for today

Whilst never a fan of this on any platform. I think you were quite generous with the Playstation version. 

 

I bent the coder, Nick Pekking's ear about it at the time, as well as what became of Playstation Unreal.. 

 

Nick:

What my team and I did with Duke Nukem 3D on the PlayStation wasto  convert the PC’s Build engine to use the PlayStation’s texture rendering hardware, i.e. to draw vertical strips using the 3d renderer. This meant that we were able to exactly replicate the unusual perspective and game mechanics used on the PC.

 

Convertors on other game platforms (e.g. the Saturn) adapted the game to their own game engines, giving slightly better performance at the risk of losing a lot of the fun and detail of the game. As an example, Sony’s testers found a level design bug in the first level of the game which a million-plus PC players had never noticed (a section of one wall was slightly too thin, so players were able to ‘force’ their way through it).

 

As far as Unreal/PlayStation goes, the less said the better. I’m sure others will have kind words to say about GT Interactive and Epic, but you won’t find any here.

 

Well, you have to be careful with Amiga, PlayStation, Neo Geo and PC Engine fans.  They always get so upset over anything negative 😛

 

New video went up today.  This video was recorded on Monday, 7th September 2020. The day after Tropical Cyclone 2010 (Haishen) hit Kyushu and Yamaguchi.
