Learning a little about Hyperkin's business practice from the Retron 5, will the 77 just be running an unauthorised build of Stella with their own UI laid on top? I've been watching this project and it looks like they are taking a more legit route. Below are quotes taken from a thread at AtariAge P...

Maybe the TV isn't switching to RGB but outputting composite instead. The Saturn gives out a puny voltage for RGB switching and some TVs have trouble detecting this. I have this problem. I found that if I use a switchable multi scart block and switch on my SNES through RGB and put my Saturn through ...

Buying a Colecovision from you to replace my deadun. Played it tons since and bought more games to boot.

To think I was only on about £50 a week at the time and I went through a period of buying a game a week for about 6 months. That was the most expensive by some way though as they usually cost about £25.

In 1983 I bought The Empire Strikes Back for the 2600 in Boots in Eastbourne. I still have the receipt in the box *cough*£31.99

The only reason I ask is because I can't find the proper version of donkey kong on coin ops or visionary. From what I can make out using th...

Turok The Dinosaur Hunter on the N64 had a horrible part where you had to jump from pillar to pillar to pillar to pillar to pillar.............

My memory may be playing tricks, but I seem to recall an article in Edge(I think) where Daryl Still said he thought the Jaguar would sell by catching the wave of publicity of the Playstation.

Don't forget the Neo Geo emulator (name escapes me) bung on all the roms, plenty of fun to be had.
