Gaming news too small for its own thread

That Arcade Classics collection sounds good. It’s been a long time since I’ve played Thunder Cross.

Boot up mame and play it for free. After all, buying that collection is basically like paying for roms.

As this news involves a "youtube personality" associated with games I'm posting this here. Sargon of Akkad, someone I never knew existed, has been chosen as a UKIP candidate for the upcoming EU elections.

In all honesty, this important science might deserve its own thread but, anyway, Mr Biffo has examined 10 good reasons why Mega Drive is a better name than Genesis: https://www.digitiser2000.com/main-p...e-than-genesis

Full line-up for the Castlevania collection is revealed - link

NES - Castlevania
NES - Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
NES - Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
NES - Kid Dracula
GB - Castlevania: The Adventure
GB - Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge Castlevania
SNES - Super Castlevania IV
MD - Castlevania: Bloodlines

It's worth mentioning that first of these Konami compilations (the arcade one) landed today, and I'm hearing a few people report that it's quite barebones from a features perspective, and that each regional version is locked to that particular version of the games.

I watched the video for the first collection and a whole bunch of the games look pretty much the same. And I still reckon Haunted Castle should be in with the Castlevania collection. Although that is a good collection of Castlevania games.

If anywhere, I'd be happier with Haunted Castle being in the bin, but failing that I'm much happier with it taking up a slot on the arcade collection rather than the Castlevania one.

[Dogg Thang]

I’ve never actually played it.

**** it, I like it. The bit where bricks fly out of the wall at you in the rain is one of my oldest gaming memories.

[CMcK]

Do you have anything else plugged into a USB port on the console?

just read some forums,it’s a bug in the Xbox version.Some people are claiming there’s a workaround by using two controllers by switching the first one off then turning on the second controller.Hope they patch it really soon

My 8 year old son finished Crash Bandicoot today. On some days he would get frustrated and hand me the controller where I would not make him proud. I am proud of him though. That's the second game (Mario Odyssey) he's finished that I haven't. I pretend I'm not ashamed lol.

Well this was gaming news to me

[hudson]

Not news, just a thought. I wonder what it would be like for a young gamer to look back at the history gaming consoles. My son, asked me what a GameCube was as he saw a GC game on YouTube. I was like, damn I wish I had kept all my old consoles. He's currently playing on my old PS2 and his mind is blown. He's enjoying it. Amazing nostalgic proudness feels here.

Gamecubes are dirt cheap, you should pick one up for him to try.

He must be good at games, no way could I finish the first Crash at his age! That game was really hard.
