      After seeing those, Zaki would like to know if yakumo will be breaking the sailor kits out?

        A coder named TiagoSC ported a level of Sonic to the SNES as a tech demo. He wants to create a game like Sonic for the SNES, so he thought it would be a good idea to see if the SNES could run Sonic well. The results are interesting and very impressive.

        This demo can be downloaded and played using an Everdrive.

            A nice collection for fans of the series, but I was hoping it would be a brand new game. There's been talk of one since the N64 days.

              I think Gunlord is as close as we'll ever get to a new Turrican game. Fine game though.

                  Yeah, Gunlord is a good alternative. A nice looking game with interesting design.

                  I didn't see anything that screamed 'must-have', but it was interesting to see that they sell a Dreamcast port of Magic Pockets.

                    Are you a fan of Alex Kidd and the Amiga? Well.. someone has essentially ported Miracle World to the Amiga and called it Monkey Lad.

                      One of my favourite arcade games from the early 80s - Burnin Rubber / Bump n Jump / Buggy Poppa - is now on Switch.

                        I found these UK software house documentaries all from the 1980s and 1990s that are actually really well done, just by one person. Lots of stuff I did not know about this era on the channel. Top stuff. I enjoyed them as much as the professional Bedrooms to Billions series, probably even more.
