I think the basis is on the video and just one's natural impressions. Of course, one needs to have a controller in one's hands in order to really know if they really, truly like it. For example, I thought I would like the Switch lite more than a regular Switch in handheld mode. But, after playing with both, I actually like the regular Switch in handheld mode more than the Switch lite. Still, you do pose a legit question. Hope my answer helps in some way.

Atari ST A to Z: Exploring the ST's library of games
Hwlngmad replied to pjedavison's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Yes, true, a lot of the multiplats were (much) better on the Amiga. Still, the ST was a really good gaming machine that deserves a lot more love. Also, yes, you are correct as well as "best" and "most interesting" are not necessarily the same thing, that's for sure. Take care and keep up the good work. -
Atari ST A to Z: Exploring the ST's library of games
Hwlngmad replied to pjedavison's topic in Atari ST/TT/Falcon Computers
Very cool. Glad to see someone giving the ST some gaming love as it was a pretty good machine in its own right. Definitely I will check out some vids when I have a chance to. -
Which 8bit micro you wish you tried bitd?
Hwlngmad replied to phoenixdownita's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Personally, I think my computing experience growing up would have been different if my parents had gone with a C64 instead of a TI-99/4a. Still, I was very fortunate to experience console gaming having owned an NES, TurboGrafx-16, and Sega Genesis back in all of their heydays. -
Glad to see the seller has tuned into his/her inner Dr. Evil mindset. Man, what a joke!

Why did you choose the micro you bought?
Hwlngmad replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
I have never tried the regular CoCo joysticks, but, believe me and take my word for it, the joysticks were absolute dog sh*t. -
Good episode and some really good public domain games. Keep up the good work fellas!

Why did you choose the micro you bought?
Hwlngmad replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
The micro my family had back in the day was a TI-99/4a. It was the cost-reduced beige version which had included the worst joystick control known to man along with some games. While I did play games on the machine and tried to fool around with it, I was a bit young (4 years old or so) and my parents made no attempts to learn and/or utilize the machine themselves from what I can remember. After that, we finally got a Windows 3.1 IBM PC in December 1992 and that is what I have really used ever since. Still, while I do have some good memories of the TI-99/4a, I wish I could have done more with it as I really didn't have anyone to provide some guidance on how to really use the machine. -
Ninja Combat is a good beat'em up. Gotta love that genre on the Neo Geo.

A very good episode, especially the segment covering the upcoming Amiga product from Retro Games LTD. Keep up the great work!

AtGames 2020 speculation thread
Hwlngmad replied to TF14's topic in AtGames Flashback and Portable Consoles
Thanks for letting us know Bill. It is much appreciated. Definitely I would like to try and pick up the latest version of the Atari Flashback Portable if that is going to be reproduced again. -
Computers and the videogame crash of the 80's.
Hwlngmad replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
The Amstrad CPC is a heck of an underrated machine imo. Definitely it is quite capable. One only has to look at the recent port of Pinball Dreams to realize that. -
Computers and the videogame crash of the 80's.
Hwlngmad replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Sounds like a plan to me. I, myself, am interested in any breakdowns. Also, yes, I do believe your mom would count as a tablet is concerned a 'mobile device' if I am not mistaken. -

Yep. The rise of the casual gamer. -
Computers and the videogame crash of the 80's.
Hwlngmad replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
I know, right? Hard to believe, but considering how many games are on mobile platforms and that people carry them around all the time, not all-together too shocking. Still, a little eye opening for sure. -
Computers and the videogame crash of the 80's.
Hwlngmad replied to Keatah's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Yes, indeed! The NES was really the first machine to break computers gaming dominance that was from somewhere around 1983 until 1987ish. Then, once the Genesis and SNES hit, dedicated game consoles became the main way people played games whereas nowadays most gaming is done on mobile devices. -
True, they could not include games on the device, but that won't happen. They will have to include games with the device as that is expectation now that there are machines like the THEC64 and various other mini-consoles that come with games built-in. However, if carlsson is correct, then there could be some really good Amiga games on the unit to warrant picking it up and then expanding on the device at one's leisure.

Has anyone ever thought of creating a port of Food Fight for the 5200???
Hwlngmad replied to BIGHMW's topic in Atari 5200
Food Fight would be a good game to be on the 5200 I think. Hopefully someone takes on the challenge / project. -
Yeah, I don't expect the games list to blow up anyone's skirt. That being said, if it can add games like THEC64 and/or THEVIC20 and is a full-sized computer, I think they will be able to sell the machine quite well.
-
A 600 series chip seems about right.
-
I doubt it will be an FPGA device of somekind, although there is going to be a Kickstarter for a new Checkmate case with an UnAmiga in it here soon. This, I think, will be along the lines of the THEC64 and THEVIC20. I believe if then can produce a full size THEAMIGA for $199, it will sell like hot cakes. Obviously, we have to wait an see, but the market for such a machine is there, that is for sure.
-
That is a big unknown, but I doubt it will be an 855 or 865 or some other higher end 800 series chip.
