Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Re: Halo: Campaign Evolved
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 11, 2026, 10:22:01 AMHonestly... I'm surprised no one else was blown away by this.
@MegaDrive20XX and I had a brief conversation... and another friend as well @XFaKToRX! Couldn't believe it and one of the biggest surprises in my opinion.
@targetrasp @CreepinDeth @Grindspine @Mai Valentine @mastermario @SpartanEvolved --> Tagging a few others for visibility.
In my opinion... these events in combination with Costco (and potentially others) no longer carrying the Xbox is pretty telling. I also created the Is the Xbox Dead Topic. Links are in the text.
Post it up!

Microsoft - Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 / Is the Xbox Dead?
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 11, 2026, 10:16:11 AMI thought we had this topic... but I cannot seem to find out. However... based on several events since last year including 1st part Game IPs being pushed to new consoles, How much life does the Xbox have in it? How do you see it evolving in the future... if there is a future for the Xbox?
One Topic that feed directly into this conversation... Costco is no longer selling the Xbox. Other stores have followed along from what I understand. Link is in the text for the CDG topic.
When the Xbox Series X was being released... Forbes mentioned it had an advantage that other Consoles didn't have. Topic below to visit:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/microsoft-xbox-series-x-xbox-one-and-xbox-360/xbox-series-x-vs-playstation-5-microsoft-has-one-pretty-huge-advantage-forbes/
In my opinion... some of the bigger news was Gears of War: Reloaded and Halo: Campaign Evolved making it over to the Sony PlayStation 5. Both of those topics are linked here. These announcements literally blew my mind... and it was very hard to believe it was happening with these 2 IPs.
Make sure to post also up in the post your favorite Xbox Memories thread as well!

So... here we are... this is an interesting time in history. We've been here before with other consoles and companies in the past... but this is a much much different time in history. I would say it's unlike anything we have seen in the past.
Thoughts, Comments... post it up!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 11, 2026, 08:33:45 AMLOL... this looks pretty cool, @retro junkie! AND it has the number pad lol. He's right... it has a pretty cool color scheme.
@targetrasp --> Is this still a no go for you and your Atari love?
Not to get caught up on this --> I paused on the game list.... NO FRICKIN MS. Pac-Man.
What in the world do we have to do to get MS. Pac-Man on a system?! n 
They literally never re-release it. Is this a licensing thing... or what?!
And answer... yup - it's a legal thing between AtGames (formerly GCC) and Bandai Namco. Just pay each other money and release it. Pls... tks

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: Evercade: Neo Geo Arcade C...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 10, 2026, 03:41:44 PMMetal Slug 2... awesome. Question, does it still have the slow down like you see on the Neo Geo? Or is that solved on the Evercade? Garou: Mark of the Wolves... a hard game to come by and loved by many! It was not my favorite, but it was fun to play. The ability to have that on your Evercade is worth the price of admission alone.
At the end of the day... this cart is more of a "Meh" cart than the other 2... but I would still buy it. These games are not as fun to me anymore these days and would not get as much play (others won't agree with me)... but they are still cool to have o the Evercade:
Art of Fighting 2
Crossed Swords
Ninja Commando
Sengoku 2
I have to ask here as well.. what's your most played game in this collect?
For future reference, Arcade Collection 1 and 3 are located here:
