  1. "The C64", das beigene C64-Handheld, was jetzt kommen soll, finde ich ja wider realistischer Abwägungen, süßer als gedacht.

    Vor allem, weil es auf dem Photos zumeist "Sams Journey" geladen hat; ein wirklich ausgezeichnetes Jump'n Run der Post-2000er. Was auch zeigt, dass sich die Macher:innen mit der aktuellen Retrogaming-Szene auskennen und gewillt sind, die wirklich guten Leute da zu unterstützen.

    Wichtig!

    Aber!

    Ansonsten ist da nichts, was man auch mit einem halb so teuren Noname-Retro-Emuboy aus China oder sonstwoher haben kann. Dort dann auch mit Support nicht nur für C64, sondern auch Megadrive, NES, PC-Engine, SNES, GBA... you name it. All in One. Keine künstliche Beschränkung. Ist dann in Terms of Roms, die gern gleich in 1000er Stückzahlen mitgeliefert werden, mehr oder weniger illegal. Und sieht eben nicht so dolle nach C64 aus.

    Die "25 Roms" (in dem Fall über die Hälfte eher Images) die beim "The C64" mitgeliefert werden, sind nicht immer ideal. Zum Beispiel ist Speedball 1 wesentlich besser auf dem C64 gelungen (coole Portraits, coole David Whittaker Musik, grafisch kristallklare Arenen, kein hässliches Gedithere) als Speedball 2. Letzteres gehört einfach auf ein 16bit Gerät.
    Was liefern sie mit: Speedball 2?!
    Prinzipiell geht die Spieleauswahl dennoch größtenteils in Ordnung. Gleich zwei sehr gute Rainbow Arts Spiele (X-Out, Spherical), Nebulus und ein paar neue Sachen (neben dem erwähnten Sams Journey auch das excellente "A Pig Quest", was ja übrigens Piggy18 ist!)... fein.

    Aber ich darf mich nicht zum Konsum bewegen lassen!! Ich hab das alles schon (sämtliche Spiele, die ich nannte, außer Speedball 2 im Original) und kann das alles locker mit Klemm-Gamepad auf dem Handy spielen (eine Option).

  7. Really enjoying LUNAR - Silver Star Harmony.

    I never played many RPG styled games growing up as they always seemed overwhelming to me with how you have to monitor and maintain your characters.

    But LUNAR's been fun and has a simple enough battle system even for me to understand.

    Are there any other similar RPGs that anyone would like to recommend. Keep in mind I am only 2hrs into LUNAR. haha...

  8. > Say what you will about #Anbernic’s continued commitment to the #Allwinner H700 chip, but this has turned out to be one of the best chips for #retrohandhelds. Don’t believe me? Check out the latest video from Rob the Retro Tech Dad, where he manages to get #GameCube #games running on an Anbernic #RG34XXSP.

  9. A fun $15 thrift shop find! It’s translucent black, not purple, but thrift shoppers can’t be choosers.

  10. Testing more retro gaming handhelds 🎮

    I want to love the Retroid Pocket 3+, but all three of the units I've purchased have screen issues. I pre-ordered a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, so hopefully that screen is good.

    I also tested the Powkiddy RGB30 and the Anbernic RG405M. I've annotated that photo with some thoughts on each device.

  11. Playing the brand new Shadow King, a side-scrolling platformer, by Johan Peitz! I've got it up and running on my old Chi Gameforce retro handheld. Check it out on itch.io (johanpeitz.itch.io/shadow-king) @johanpeitz

  12. Mi pareja, que en paz descanse, me regalo hace algunos años esta pequeña consola portatil, la PocketGo. Es capaz de emular muy bien juegos de nes, snes, gb, gbc, gba incluso algunos juegos de psx. En la imagen uno de los juegos de mi infancia: Donkey Kong Land II.

    Gracias mi amada Heidy Galleani...

  13. Oh nice, looks like GammaOS for the Anbernic 405M has been updated with lots of cool fixes and performance improvements. Haven't tried it myself yet but downloading it now.

  14. Zum #RetroMontag heute mal auf dem Dachboden gekramt und tatsächlich noch originalverschweißte Spiele für den #Atari2600 gefunden. Die offene kleine Sammlung ist samt mehrerer Konsolen im Keller und der Griff zum #RP3 ist dann irgendwie doch einfacher. So komme ich zumindest zum Spielen und nicht nur zum „Anschlussbasteln“

  15. I decided to comb through the ROM library that came with the #anbernicRG35xx and build a list of my favorites and it's got a pretty great library.

    There's a lot of Japanese versions sprinkled around, and #Mario and #Tetris are notably missing. The #Playstation library is the least complete, but it's there.

    There are some great #arcade #ROMs, like #FantasyZone 2 "tears of opa opa" that I've never seen.

  16. I still believe in a world before Twitter because I am that old.

    Question: Who still has their old gadgets around and do you still use them?

    This is my travel Nokia. Lasts two weeks without charge and is still the best phone around. Probably will survive an apocalypse at this rate.
