To all of the #RetroGaming people out there who are more knowledgeable than I: do we have a read on the longevity of the chips being used for official modern-era #SegaGenesis / #MegaDrive reproductions and re-releases?
I’m wondering what the lifespan of them are going to be in comparison to the old-school original releases. (And thinking about stuff like Switch / 3DS carts that can have lifespan issues.)
I have now been reminded that, early in its life, my company once determined that Super Hydlide was a better game than Herzog Zwei. Even as the weirdo Super Hydlide defender that I am, I cannot sanction this buffoonery.
Also beating out the groundbreaking #SegaGenesis title score-wise? J.J. & Jeff.
Ended up that my childhood #SegaGenesis could not be saved, so it had to get a new board. Wound up with a VA6, which I'm happy with—has TMSS sure, but it's also one of the best options for video/audio quality.
After a long life of providing my joy, the original board will now live on up on my wall.
