@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up... |

I didn't remember it was Mazda... thought it was for Subaru Sidekick or something (I'm joking, just to run more salt in the wound).My Mom has a Mazda 3 and when it turns on the display says "Zoom Zoom." It's adorable.

Quote from: crazydean on 05/01/2018, 05:20 PMKinda strange that the game that got the most votes is also the one that probably has been played the most. Oh well, I guess people don't want to try new things.My interpretation is it's the game most people have and they're more likely to vote for what they know. I voted for Alien Crush because I genuinely enjoy it more than the other games (that I've played) though would have been happy with Hellfire S too.

04/27/2018, 04:50 PMQuote from: Purple1308 on 04/27/2018, 04:34 PMIf you really want to sell off your device you'll need to make the screen 4:3, have a video output, keep a way to have a cd drive function and, make it cheaper than a usual turbo express and pc engine gtRetroPi outputs proper aspect ratio, have video output (HDMI and Composite), handle CD games fine (everything up through PS1). The most expensive Pi costs $35, but all the 8-16 bit stuff runs fine on the Pi Zero which is like $10.
If you've got a 3d printer, you can print your own case, or get one here for about $25.

It's also sad that all this it out in the media mainstream. 
I saw that Todd McFarlane spent the afternoon with him recently and it sounds like Stan was overjoyed just to have someone to talk with for a few hours.
It also sounds like Kevin Smith has offered to let Stan move in with him. Imagine the hijinx the two of them could get into!

Quote from: esteban on 04/18/2018, 11:10 PMOK, so I still use an old receiver for sound for all my consoles... but I don't use an equalizer (beyond the basic bass/treble controls on the receiver itself).I'm with ya! The spot where I play the most has a cheap little Lepai amp powering thrift-shop speakers. I've also connected a thrift-shop powered sub and I'm constantly tinkering with the few audio dials I have when I start a new game.
Equalizers were all the rage when I was a kid in the 80's, but I never really thought they were necessary... however, when making LeDoodles, I have had a lot of fun isolating certain channels and manipulating them individually. Obviously I am limited in what I can do, but I have far greater options with PSG channel manipulation than Red Book audio final mix.
SO... I have really been wondering how I could "correct" for poor judgement in the final mix of all music, not just video game music.
I should point out that I tend to have different equalizer settings for headphones vs. standard stereo speakers...
...it's really crazy when I want to change settings for each song (OCD).
I just know I don't want to constantly tinker with an equalizer for every single game I play. Or for each damn stage.
Or maybe I do?
When I play in our main living room I don't feel compelled to mess with the settings.
Maybe it's because I'm in my own little space and I'm sitting within arms reach of all the dials and stuff, and it's usually just me.

I used to play this game all the time in the arcade in the moving car, so it may be nostalgia talking.That's how I remember playing it too. I spent a ton of money playing it back then because I loved how the car moved (much like the earlier After Burner game). It was pricey, but worth it.

New stuff!
I found a place on AliExpress that sells all sorts of unlicensed Lego characters for dirt cheap. I had to see if they looked as cool in real life as they looked on the web store. They do.
I didn't know this got a Saturn port and I hear it's not as good as the arcade version, but I've been meaning on trying it out and finally found one for next to nothing.
and last but not least, the new pins for this year's MGC arrived!

I haven't played Psychic Storm in ages so loaded it up on my Pi and it totally feels like a sequel to Cyber Core! The ships look and evolve kinda similarly, the sound effects are similar. I think it looks, plays and sounds better than Cyber Core, but that's probably because it's a CD game.
Is this a "duh" moment for me? Is there really a connection between the two games or am I just seeing things?
