    Ah, now that you mention it I vaguely recall seeing something about M.2 getting enabled after release. 

     

     

     

    Thanks! My most current console is a PS3, so no existing collection of PS4 games to worry about.  I'll probably wait until I need the space before picking up an M.2 for it.

     

    I plan to start out with 2 PS5 games (besides the Ragnarök that comes bundled with it).

    • Ratchet & Clank, been wanting that since early 2021
    • Atari 50. I wasn't originally interested in this, but have heard good things about it like how interesting all the behind the scenes stuff is.

    As mentioned above, I'd like to pick up PS4's Spyro Reignited. The original Spryo is what got me back into consoles in the 90s, and I periodically replay the trilogy to this day. Most recently I played rips of my original discs rendered at nearly 4K on my Mac mini using Duckstation - it's amazing how much detail was hidden away in a PS1 game:

    I've not kept up with the PS4 or PS5, so will have to do some research on the games out for them.

     

    I also need to read up on PlayStation Plus. Looks like a bunch of older games are included with the Extra and Premium levels. Looks like the PS1 games might be rendering at 4K like Spyro does on my Mac mini:

     

     

    fair warning: The bosses in the new spyro are harder for some reason

    January 2023 Shooting HSC: Slap Fight

    in Sega Genesis

    Last year (or last week, if you prefer) I decided to do this, so here it is.

     

    This month we are playing Slap Fight, which you can find on your convenient Slap Fight MD game cartridge/Mega Drive Mini/etc. as the default game option. We will play Slap Fight MD next month, so

     

    20230101_005121.thumb.png.753a22ee955ce2238fe1c8fd59c9ccf9.png

     

    Rules:

    Game type = normal

    Difficulty = normal

    Player = 3

     

    These are the default settings, so you can just hit start on the title screen and immediately begin without having to change anything. The music option changes only the music, so feel free to use the original PSG soundtrack if you like it more than the arranged FM soundtrack.

     

    You can disable the autofire if you want, but you probably won't want to, especially because it's very helpful for scoring. The hidden Toaplan mode defaults to disabled. Leave it disabled.

     

    Submit scores using the following format:

     

    NAME - SCORE - AREA - RAPID ON/OFF

     

    As an example, if I got a score of 123,456 using the autofire function and game overed at area 2-20, I would submit like this

     

    Steven - 123,456 - 2-20 - ON

     

    Submit as many scores as you like. Your highest score for the month will be your score. Feel free to submit replays and/or screenshots if you want!

     

    The deadline is 23:59:59 GMT on January 31st (2023, obviously). Yes, we are using GMT since it's the closest thing there is to a universally accepted time zone, and so that I don't have to favour anyone's specific time zone, as we are scattered across the planet. Yeah, I know it's not January 1st yet in that time zone, but it's good enough, so you can submit starting now if you want. I'm not going to be like SUPER SERIOUS about the times or whatever, but please do try to make it in by the deadline. Click here for our timer, just in case.

     

    HOW TO PLAY SLAP FIGHT

    Slap Fight's scoring system is not immediately apparent when you first play the game, but it does have one, and it is a very fun and interesting one. Aside from killing things, you get points from picking up stars, and, most importantly, from using the various weapons to uncover secrets. The weapon that uncovers secrets in a certain area is typically but not always the best weapon for that area! Scoring is heavily based on knowing the secrets and when to switch weapons. There are some areas with multiple types of secrets; you'll have to choose which secrets you want to get and use the appropriate weapon, but remember that some secrets are worth more than others!

     

    Any enemies or secrets that are on screen when you switch weapons are affected by the properties of both the weapon you had and the weapon you switched to.

     

    Remember also that you are completely invulnerable for about 2 seconds after changing weapons or attaching a set of wings! Use this to fly through massive amounts of enemy shots.

     

    Finally, if you hold up+right+weapon change+shot as you start the game or respawn after a death without a star in your possession, you'll be given a star so you can get a speed up immediately!

     

    If you want more information on Slap Fight, or just want to discuss this impossibly excellent game, let me know, as I know pretty much everything about the game. Go forth and blow up all of the things!

    How come we don't get to keep our powerups? seems kinda cruel

    anyway, i'm not having fun with this one.

    I guess I just don't like shooters
