I have stopped, started, stopped, started many times over the years, collecting retro games & consoles.
I no longer have the room / time to have all of my consoles hooked up. I also no longer have a CRT television. Both my Saturns no longer work (the Mark 1 no longer reads discs, the Mark 2 has a sound issue (sounds like the console is under water), Dreamcast is on blink, most my consoles are now either boxed in loft or at bottom of wardrobe, had to take a long time, a few years ago, labelling and bagging Cables and Plugs, so that one day in the future, will be able to use the again.
I have a very small number of PC Engine, Neo Geo, 3DO, Atari 2600, Jaguar, 32X games, but have a little larger Sega Megadrive, SNES, Mega CD, Saturn, PS1, PS2, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube
I also have a few Japanese Saturn & Mega CD games, that I used to play with a CDX Cartridge. My person favourite is Chase HQ / SCI pack for Saturn.
I have recently pre-ordered a Polymega (still waiting), as I really like the idea and convenience. Since pre-ordering, I have started collecting again, but the prices are so extortionate now.
I have already have Turrican Flashback. Not sure why these have been released
I guess volume 2 might be worth looking at, but why not just update the Flashback content ? (Digitally speaking)
F1 has always been about Constructor and Driver. Jim Clark is considered to be one the greatest F1 drivers ever, but no other car came close to Lotus in the years he was winning. The only difference now is that cars are more reliable
Some the best Coin Op conversions came from Ocean (they were better than US Gold) in the 80’s and early 90’s. Chase HQ and Operation Wolf on the Amstrad were very good. RIP
@UltimateKGB I have quite a few Mini’s. But only ever have 1 hooked up at 1 time (I use the same leads, just swap them over every now and then. But the A500 Mini has a different power connection to the other Mini’s so that is permanently connected. Would love a Saturn, or Dreamcast Mini, would also like a Master System Mini.
It was a fantastic Direct. So many surprises (and I probably won’t have time for most games) Most of the games I thought were going to be announced didn’t get a mention at all. The next Direct , for 2nd half of the year will be huge

Re: Review: Sonic Origins - A Fine Collection For New Fans, Less So For The Hardcore Sonic Crowd

Re: Random: F1 Star Lewis Hamilton Couldn't Find Mario Kart, So He Bought Super Monaco GP II Instead
@Would_you_kindly what, you mean like most drivers who have won multiple championships? (Senna, Schumacher, Vettel also had the best car)
Re: Random: F1 Star Lewis Hamilton Couldn't Find Mario Kart, So He Bought Super Monaco GP II Instead
Hamilton is a Legend. 8 time World Champion

Hopefully Snatcher will get included. Never managed to play it, and to buy from eBay it’s always a monkey, if not more
Would like to see Batman Returns just for the driving section
