PS2s are still quite affordable and tend to last, at least if you don’t use the disc drive a lot. That’s one console I still prefer owning an original of.

PSX (if you don’t use the PS2 BC) is nicely covered by MiSTer and also cheaper all-in-one solutions like RGB-Pi. Read more

Thanks very much. I’m really happy if my work gets people interested in great games they might’ve missed. Read more

It’s not you, imo Bonk isn’t that great. Its bright cartoony look drew attention back in the day but the actual gameplay is pretty slow, clumsy, just eh. Very mid. I can’t stay engaged with it.

Some good basic TurboGrafx staples are Blazing Lazers (Gunhed), Alien Crush, and almost any shmup with Soldier in the title.… Read more

CD audio failing and CD motor failing are two common signs of the caps going; the sooner you get it recapped, the more likely you’ll avoid the spillage causing bigger problems.

I should follow my own advice there, as mine’s needed it for at least five years. Ask me how I know the symptoms >_> Read more

Hope you enjoy! Read more

Hehe. I don’t know if they’d help, but it does have a nice array of comfort options; I imagine those are testable in the demo.

It did occur to me, playing this, that it didn’t make me queasy at all, not one bit. Just like a normal game. Made me wonder if my VR legs are finally pretty solid. ���� Read more

Might’ve been Brendan Hesse’s:

Yuck. Sounds like one of those problems for which people are always casually advising “just do a factory reset” as if that’s no big deal. Hope ya solved it. Read more

Thanks for the rec. Yeah, I understand it changes quite a bit with each generation of games, which I’m looking forward to experiencing. Read more

Most likely no, Quake II RTX is its on separate thing.

Here’s a discussion on the RTX Steam forums:

Just wanna note that, as mentioned in the intro, there was no ranking here. It’s just our nine faves.

Places like the SNES port’s manual would mention it, probably a bunch of others. Read more

EX: Ah shoot, you’re right. Thanks for the kind correction / words.

Yeah I remember only having modest style concerns over the HD Remix sprites, didn’t love them but they’re weren’t disgusting. But today, yikes. It’s like the rose-tinted lenses came off. Read more

Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive 2 (DC) are excellent picks.

PSX Namco ports: arcade perfect-ish, typically
DC Namco port: blows the arcade away

It was wild.

As for SF3 I’ve always felt Third Strike’s backgrounds were homely and bland compared to New Generation’s and 2nd Impact’s. Those first two games were just gorgeous.… Read more

Yeah, I actually just returned to it last month (and beat it for the first time) and was really digging the visuals. And more surprisingly, by the end of the game I really respected it as a good action game too, not “rough first try” or “was good back in the day but now outdated.” a legit good action game. Read more
