I 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).   ???

Star 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.  :great:  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.

Features:
  • Access to "The Vault". Enjoy a thoughtfully curated collection of various types of development material and in-game assets showcasing the rich history of this iconic title.
  • Engaging first-person ground combat featuring ten weapons and twenty types of enemies.
  • Advanced 3D rendering enables updated lighting and atmospheric effects.
  • A variety of power-ups are made available to the player, including health, shields, weapons and ammunition. For combat, the player may use fists, explosive landmines and thermal detonators, as well as blasters and other ranged weapons.
  • Includes immersive environmental puzzles and mazes.

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!

MAN!  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  ;D

@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,  :great: 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!  :great:  nice!

Awesome Find!

Lol @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.

I'm getting ready to make a topic on this game as there are Nintendo Switch and PS5 versions coming at $30. 

However, Dark Forces Remaster on Steam is $14.99 right now... and it is Deck Compatible verified!   

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2292260/STAR_WARS_Dark_Forces_Remaster/

IMO this is a decent deal... though I think you'll find it cheaper if you want longer.  I'm thinking about pulling the trigger now.

Deathsmiles and Espgaluda II Black Label, those two shmups burned up a lot of my time.
As the Xbox 360 was my first experience with any xbox console. And the only reason I ended up with an xbox one was Cuphead. There was a lot of other games that I played on the 360 but these are the ones that made and impression on me and the only ones that I remember without digging out my stash.
