Remember the petition about "Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state" & the response saying "Those selling games must comply with UK consumer law. They must provide clear information and allow continued access to games if sold on the understanding that they will remain playable indefinitely."
Well the Petitions Committee has stepped in and say it did not respond directly to the petitiion request

The OCS version of Simon The Sorcerer is quite impressive! I only have the PC CD version here, but luckily ADFs are readily available... #simonthesorcerer#retrogaming#commodore#amiga
@xadox no… VGA had 256 colors. Amiga 32 to 64-ish when using half brite mode. But the Amiga was a machine from 1985. so the achievement per se is pretty impressive.
Oh it's a really fun game with just a few rough edges.
There's a PS3 version as well, which again, only released in Japan.
It's basically anime Lost Planet. 😄
It’s Friday, which means it’s Retro Game Of The Week time! This week, who you gonna call… yeah, them, as I delve into Ghostbusters for the Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive!
This is probably the only Gravis UltraSound-related thing I'll sensibly collect. This is the Gravis MIDI and Joystick Adapter, and I'm super thrilled to have picked one up for a reasonable price in this condition. At some point I'll carefully pull things out for a closer look, including scanning the paperwork, but in the meantime - did you ever have/use one of these? What'd you use it for/with? Let me know!
Voy haciendo pruebas con diferentes filtros para darle a los vídeos un efecto CRT. Estoy bastante satisfecho con el resultado 😄 #retrogames#retrogaming
@AndyGER i have the very same. Had it for ~4 years and it works great. The Epyx makes loading a breeze. Sometimes it’s incompatible, but then you can unplug the cartridge (power off first!) and drive the Pi via Micro USB.
...Konami of America senior vice presidents discomfort with the religious connotations of the title Akumajō Dracula, which he believed translated as "Dracula Satanic Castle". 🧛
🕹️ Trivia about the game consoles of our childhood
@OutofPrintArchive The Mega Drive is king for shmups, I have so many, many of which have little differences between them, but I still have so much fun with all of them decades later.
I yearn for the day modern games capture that same kind of magic.

It was such a brilliant system wasn’t it. The SNES and MD perfectly complemented each other.
Just read somewhere that the home ports of Kyukyoku Tiger are a waste of time when you have the arcade game.
Someone clearly didn’t play the weird MD port where the bullets seem to predict where you’ll be. 😅
The one system that was on par with the MD back then was the PC-Engine though. Again just brilliant. Shame we never got it here in Europe.
