I really don't know why he didn't use source code. He doesn't give a reason. It might be copyright issues on the code? Or he liked the challenge? But the results is flawless. This is totally Final Fight. You would be very hard pressed to find any flaws. I used to own the Sega CD version, but when my Sega CD died, I sold it. I have gotten to the point that when any of these old CD systems die, everything is sold. Not going to invest in something that could die two days after purchase. Too much of a chance to just throw away that money.

General Discussion / Star Trek Enterprise
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 05, 2026, 02:25:34 PMWe found a good deal on the Star Trek Enterprise complete Blu-ray series and pulled the trigger. We are just starting this now. It definitely is a bit dated, but so far has been pretty good. Scott Bakula... haven't seen him in anything for a while, did a decent job so far IMO. I'll update more as we continue through this series. We just finished the 1st couple discs.
AND here is the amazing theme song!
I remember @Kinikko liking this song. I bet @retro junkie has checked this serious out as well. Anyone else? What are your thoughts on the series? Post it up!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 05, 2026, 01:49:51 PMQuote from: mastermario on February 12, 2026, 10:19:17 PMI watched it and thought it was a really good show. You can obviously see that Patrick Stewart is aging but the show wasn't focused solely on him and he did a good job considering. I think season 2 and 3 were actually really really good. The only thing I don't like about TNG timelines is everything they've done with Data. I like that they brought back Brent Spiner but I'm not sure that was the proper use of him.
Yeah - I agree on that @mastermario. It was awesome to see his return though! Also, Seven of Nine.
@retro junkie - now with this? Are you going to try it?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 05, 2026, 01:33:24 PMAlright - I have made progress in Geometry Wars: Dimensions on the Ps Vita. I got stuck on a level for a very long time and gave up. I finally made more progress there.
@targetrasp and I started making some progress in BROTATO on Steam. It's a fun game! It might be up your ally, @retro junkie.
Anyone else making gaming progress? @mastermario @Jack @CreepinDeth

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 05, 2026, 12:13:37 PMI hear you @retro junkie --> I bet the prices will just continue to rise, including the Super Pockets. Ram shortages, disk shortages, certain businesses stopping support for the consumer segments... I'm sure higher prices are going to hit.
When is the 4th Neo Geo expansion coming out? You are making me want this Super Pocket more and more (with the Neo Geo collections of course).

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaste...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 04, 2026, 02:59:43 PMStar Wars: Dark Forces was a really fun FPS game back in the day. Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster was released back in September 2024 for limited physical release and on digital platforms PC and console. However, they are releasing a standard edition on the Playstation 5 and Nintendo Switch for $30. I am a sucker for a physical copy and am thinking of picking this up. I'd love to have it on the Switch for potential on the go playing, but also want the achievements and platinum trophy on the Playstation 5.

Now... as mentioned in the Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster - Steam sale thread, there is a Steam version for Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster for $15 right now. That is tempting as well for the Steam Deck (yes it's steam deck compatible)
Do you have good memories of playing this game? Is this game on your list? Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 04, 2026, 01:42:05 PMMAN! I have several responses typed up for today ... my computer shutdown on an update. Note to self... save to Frickin NOTE!!!! Alrighty then... 2nd pass at this topic lol 
@retro junkie - This is another awesome post! And immediately when I saw the screenshot with Haggar, that brought immediate memories of this game. This game genre used to be one of my favorites. Games like Rival Turf, Final Fight, Double Dragon, Battletoads, TMNT Arcade... etc... However, it has somewhat grown off of me over the years. I still really love Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith for the Nintendo DS. That was and is still a really fun game... and I still enjoy breaking out the beat-em-ups here and there.
At the end of the day, what was their reasoning for doing this from scratch and not using source code? don't get me wrong, this looks great and cool. Seems like that would be a lot of work.
Even though it's technically a "dev cart" and not a v1+, this is still very cool lol, Maybe it came to the CD due to requirements? No clue... as I would think the Genesis would be able to handle it.
The achievements addition is pretty cool too! nice!
Awesome Find!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - March 04, 2026, 12:34:55 PMLol @Grindspine --> I hear you. You know what? We need a PSP Topic
In regards to the PS Vita, there were a few cool looking models at the end of the run. I think it was a white / Neon green version if I remember right. That was one I was interested in due to color scheme.
