https://www.reddit.com/r/dosbox/comments/4wyj7r/xpost_pixelperfect_display_in_dosbox_with_scaling/ I'm not sure but I think there's something about needing at least 1080p vert to benefit from it. My laptop is 1366x768. About PCem, well, it seems to be a work in progress. What's the compatibility ratio? Not that I have an overclocked i5/7 at hand anyway...

I thought Atari's IGG pitch was an exercise in hubris, but after reading about the latest OTON I can now see they're small beer. Even my yesterday's surreal favourite, Novatio, pales in comparison. The OTON guys (guy? just go all the way, way up to the top of Mt. Ridiculous. It seems everytime I check this thread I learn about some new amazing Linux box in the making, which will change the industry forever. WTFITS? Is there something in the water?

Dun 'goofed. Wrong thread

Still, it's a curious situation where the PC, home of the emulation, does not have its own legacy emulator being updated or advanced. And the forks seem to do one thing or the other, there's no unified solution. Granted, my own info in this regard may be outdated so perhaps this comment is more of an inquiry than a statement. I looked at this a few months back, when trying to find a pixel perfect way to display, found one, but it seems my laptop's resolution is too low anyway.

Perhaps not a popular opinion, but Flashback was one of the biggest disappointments for me at the time. When Another World dropped it was just...really another world, something so fresh and amazing it blew us away. So, unsurprisingly the expectations for the sequel were sky high, but Flashback turned out to be just another platformer. Great gfx/sfx and solid gameplay, but nothing like the groundbreaking original. No wonder, since the guy who created it almost singlehandedly - Eric Chahi - was not on board.

"Helpful" comment: that link about Gamebox LLC from the Who FAQ section leads to some awful paywalled site. Maybe worth updating.

30 per month could be a bit much, per week is madness. If it comes to pass (highly unlikely) their shop will be flooded with endless me-too clones of succesful games, for that's what huge chunk of PC indie scene is at the moment. Thought the Big N was always about quality, not quantity. Maybe it's just some silly PR talk.

Putting the Age in Atari Age ....this thread is the perfect proof that I've finally joined a forum where I can feel I'm among my peers. Have had some sort of arthritis for a few years now....few joints in hands affected, mostly thumbs. It's not so bad yet as to affect my gamepad-clutching abilities, though I've struggled playing Renegade recently, where you have to spam lots of double-button attacks. Here's hoping they'll develop some neural-style interface soon...

I don't really watch vids until I really have to - but I just cannot believe their pitch is worse than that "Novatio" thingy you linked to earlier. These guys just won my internets today. There's more, it's just a sample from a truly delicious and surreal IGG page, featuring lots of bad grammar, some beyond-basic renders and a promise that "Novatio is the future. It will become what the Steam Machine failed to be"

I was referring to sites which do exactly what Antstream does, only for free, now. Which is why I wrote "all they have to do is type 'play [system name] games online'. Try it maybe Most of them probably do not have any "licensing" so you can bring the moral/immoral angle into equation again, but...eh, I don't know, maybe they will be a big hit. Frankly, I don't really care. People will do anything in the name of convenience these days, even if it involves paying for an inferior experience.

I'd love to have a proper printed mag I could buy - not because of some nostalgia overdrive or yearning for old media, just simply feel like I could trust it more, not only factually but . Yeah, there still is Edge & Games but like I said above these changed too much as well. I think internet skewed things too much and the new media are influenced by clickbaitery, hot takes, fear of reader's insta-backlash in comments and other modern trappings. I used to follow PC gaming scene but it has became insufferable, the groupthink factor is incredible and most of the publications pander to that. Other sources are not much better. Also, the reasonably solid ones such as Gamespot, IGN or Eurogamer have become a multimedia - not videogaming - sources. If I wanted to read about latest Star Wars or GoT I'd head off to the appropriate sites. Then there's the video overload- and I'm a reader. Now more resources are diverted to making vids, so you have more and more 3-paragraph "articles". The trending factor does not help either - zillion updates about Fortnite/Overwatch/Destiny or Pokemon GO can smother all other stuff. The mags had flaws, of course, but the more solid ones were amazing. PCG, ACE, Your Sinclair, Crash, ZZAP, CGW Next Gen/Edge were not only great fun but also trustworthy. I think the monthly cycle and publish & be damned model were really beneficial to VG journalism. /rant

That kinda reminds me of the Last Of Us. You have to pull all kinds of stunts to be stealthy and hide from monsters, yet Ellie gets a free pass and can prance around. Great game, but this is an inexcusable, gargantuan immersion-destroying flaw.

That would create some serious echochambers. I say, let's hate in peace (?) and just try to get along. Reserve your Atari rAge for Atari SA.

0 Gorn: 4930 NAG: 21632 NAG: great game, but it kills my eyes with these horizontal lines skipping (think somebody already mention that). So I think I'll leave it at that meagre 20k score. Great music, one of the best I've heard recently. Gorn is awesome, this is the kind of quirky retro game that I love the most. Addictive, but also infuriating, and damn hard Might have a go again.

Dragon Warrior/Quest remakes are amazing. Don't know if there are any differences in gameplay but sfx/gfx are top notch. Also played a lot of Shiren The Wanderer and Front Mission. And Kirby Super Star was fun too. I also recall you can play GBA carts on DS and this system had a lot of remakes/ports too. http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_games_re-released_onto_Nintendo_handhelds

oooh! Deflektor! ZX Spectrum classic. Loved it back in the day, but was too little to get far. Looking forward to it. Trailblazer was that game my Atari frenemies boasted about. Voted everything.

Funny stuff. And, "crocodilians". Cute Mind you, perhaps monsters dream about electric sheep too? -you buy an item in a shop but when you try to sell it back it's worth 10% of the initial value. Harsh! -you can carry 6 swords, 3 types of armour, 100 potions, 10 food rations and move at full speed. Add a paper scroll and you're overburdened & stuck. -boss has a weak spot, quite often heavily signposted: a big, red throbbing bulb if you work for Bydo Empire. How did they get to be a boss with such poor evolutionary traits?

I'm not a fan of streaming videogames, for reasons mostly mentioned above. For me it's just another unnecessary & flawed layer between you and the game... I guess it could work for some casual gamers but why would they pay for it when all they have to do is type "play [system name] games online" and most likely this system is already covered by numerous free sites (plus archive.org) which appeared in recent years? Maybe they should give Atari SA a call, keep hearing some rumblings about them getting into this biz

a) because all the current facts and historical patterns point to this being yet another retro-gaming sham. Exposing such shams and keeping people aware of them is a good thing and may prevent (or at least limit) them from happening in the future. You can apply this to all walks of life: government, corporate, public. Hear/see/talk no evil is not really a good long run survival strategy. b) in this particular case it's actually fun. These guys are clueless and provide a heap of comedy gold material.

I want to play but I don't get the scoring/ranking system. Why "Top Players fail=out, others can use retries" in NAG? Is it ok if I just post scores/scr$?

Next Gen was awesome, but in Europe it was hard to obtain (for me at least). Edge filled this gap though, it was my VG bible till about ~2005 when things went kinda downhill. Guess the new media got them all panicky and they've changed too much.

Word of advice: if you're so obsessed with somebody's comments from a past thread that you feel compelled to carry this grudge, bid your time, and make a lame & desperate "rebuttal" in this persons new, completely unrelated thread, then it's perhaps time to step away from the keyboard. Get some fresh air, reevaluate your priorities re: virtual/real life, read up on concept of "different opinions" - stuff like that. That aside from practicing your reading comprehension, since seeing that crude drivel you're accusing me of above is a proof that the other discussion went completely over your head.

I've just played Super Cobra (Coleco) for a bit and pondered the wisdom of destroying fuel sources in order to refuel your craft. It's an undeniably fun mechanic (and a vg trope of course) , but explaining it requires some seriously convoluted mental gymnastics. Quantum bombs which don't really explode but suck the fuel out and direct it to your craft thorough a multidimensional wormhole is the closest one I came to. Videogames are obviously littered with such amusing conundrums. What's your favourite one?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_(video_games) As a Semantic Pedant, I'll stick with this definition.

Defender of the Crown is arguably better on C64 than on Amiga, though that pertains only to gameplay, not fx of course. Amiga version was rushed and lacks some strategy features.
