@Shadow_Dancer I don't know about the difficulty: the first one was hard, but I managed to beat the final boss, for the second one I had to use cheats to finish it!
@Tandy255 I've lost interest in retrocollecting mostly for the prices... If I have to pay 200-400/500€ for an old game then no thank you, I'm fine playing them in other ways.
One of my friends had an A500 in the '90, I lover it, except for the load times and the fact you needed to swap floppies in some games...but the games were (usually) good: the only really bad thing was that all the joysticks (my friend had) had only one button, it was annoying for some games that needed at least two!
@electrolite77 well, it's difficult to Say how much it could sell...but 4 years ago I wasn't even that sure that the Switch could be so successful, for various reasons. Of course the Steam Deck can't sell like a Switch, I hope it will do better than the PS Vita at least.
@electrolite77 I mean, I don't think I'm the only one that would like to be able many games on a portable device. Of course the majority of people will prefer to play their games with their PS5, Xbox, gaming PC, Switch...but this doesn't mean the Steam Deck couldn't sell recently.
@electrolite77 I've already a Switch, I don't care about a fancy slightly better screen...but being able to play all (or almost all) my Steam games on a portable device, on the other hand seems cool. A lot of games I wished there were on the Switch but will never be ported there...
@FantasiaWHT stealing what?? Do you have any idea of how many patents exist in the world, and that you can infringe one or more without even knowing it?? Moreover many of those patents are just bullsh##...
@MetalKingShield sure, no problem. Well, there is a problem, the sound emulation is a bit horrible, especially when you kill the female minions, at least on the Switch, on Steam there wasn't this kind of issues...it's totally playable, but it's a bit annoying because of this!
Oh yeah, I remember playing it a lot of time ago, it was alright, probably it's better if it's not free to play. Vector Unit also makes some good games usually.
You can buy Iron Commando on Steam too.. Great graphics, but overall poor gameplay, unbanced and frustrating. A shame, because it could have been a great "The Punisher" clone for the Snes.

Re: Talking Point: As The Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Is Shut Down, Where Do You Stand On Nintendo's Takedowns?
This thing makes me want NOT to buy Nintendo games...in fact everytime Nintendo send a C&D I'd like to toss my Switch out of the window.

Re: Head Of Xbox Shuts Down Idea Of Game Pass Coming To Other Platforms (Again)
@Johnnel if the game pass was avalaible on the Switch I guess many AAA games could only be streamer, though...
Re: Head Of Xbox Shuts Down Idea Of Game Pass Coming To Other Platforms (Again)
Why should Sony and Nintendo allow Game Pass on their consoles when they could eventually create their Game Pass?
Re: Grand Theft Auto Remastered Trilogy Reportedly Heading To Switch
It's about time a GTA game comes to the Switch! Also they could port the original GTA games, GTA2 was my favourite.

Re: Metal Gear Creator Hideo Kojima Is "Afraid" Of A Future Without Physical Media
I'm only afraid of a future where old (and often forgotten) games won't be available to all on the web!!

Re: Aksys Games Shares First Look At "Capcom And SNK" Inspired Arcade Fighter Blazing Strike
@Specter_of-the_OLED sure, KoF XIV and XV looks so bland and boring...if they weren't KoF games I would have never bought them.
Re: Evil Dead: The Game Has Been Delayed Until Next Year
The only good Evil Dead game for me was Evil Dead: Regeneration, I'd rather play that on my Switch again than this.

Re: Review: Samurai Warriors 5 - Fast And Flashy Musou On Switch
It seems fine...but I doubt I'm gonna pay 70€ for it, even if I bought Warriors Orochi 4 and Ultimate (and of course Hyrule Warriors AOC) on day 1.
Re: Valve Responds To 'Switch Vs Steam Deck' Comparisons, Insists It's "Going After" A Different Audience

Not my favourite beat'em up, but it's a fine game.
Re: Random: A UK Company Is Inviting Customers To Smash Up Old Games Consoles
@Darlinfan sure, even kids that smashes windows find it funny, but then you become an adult and you should just find some more healthy hobbies.
Re: Random: A UK Company Is Inviting Customers To Smash Up Old Games Consoles
@Darlinfan smashing things (even if they are broken beyond repair) is not fun, is just vandalism at some point...
Re: Random: A UK Company Is Inviting Customers To Smash Up Old Games Consoles
@Darlinfan come on, where's the "fun" if you smash worthless (for them) stuff?
Re: Random: A UK Company Is Inviting Customers To Smash Up Old Games Consoles
@Darlinfan no, if someone want to smash something they can smash the stuff they like...even better their stuff.
Re: Random: A UK Company Is Inviting Customers To Smash Up Old Games Consoles
Why don't they go and destroy their cars instead?

Great graphics, but overall poor gameplay, unbanced and frustrating. A shame, because it could have been a great "The Punisher" clone for the Snes.
