    There's much better versions of street fighter though.

    Still the 3 button pad is not great and not very comfortable while the 6 button pad is a thing of beauty, it's basically almost a Saturn pad and one of the all time great controllers.

    $90 for the two controller version, Sega can jog on. They're gonna bundle the same pack of games they've been flogging since the collections from the PS2 era so we can wonder why the words decap, attack and classic are appearing so close to each other once again.

    Konami on board. Bloodlines is on there and hoping for rocket knight and hard corp as those Konami classics haven't been reissued yet.

    Also emulation by M2 means this will be a better experience than the Nintendo systems.

    Still a few duffers in the line up. Nobody needs to play altered beast. Hopefully there's some nice surprises announced.

    Hadn't seen that. I only keep seeing the Genesis version. A strange division in products, though. You'd think Street Fighter with a six button controller would be a shoo-in on all versions.
    *Mega Drive.

    I really hope they use the plastic dome style D pad and not gel.

    Kind of glad they went with the three button pad. The 6 button is great but I always found it a bit small.

    Wrong, I'm afraid.

    True, Mega Drive is a better name.

    The game is disgustingly hard. Never had a NES when younger so not in my muscle memory.

    I really want mod my Dreamcast. Does Oisin still do mods, and if so, how far to his place in case I deliver it personally?

    Must be confusing me with someone else, I was never in the modding business.

    What you thinking of modding it with, a harddrive?

    Maybe R-Type Final wasn't the final one after all.

    R-Type Final 1 was rather duff compared to Delta certainly.

    It had the most boring opening level ever and the slowdown killed it. Felt rushed. Granzella is full of ex item staff so fingers crossed.

    A region free BIOS chip is the first thing I would want, but I would also go with a new fan, something to force 50hz only games to 60 if possible, you know that kind of stuff.

    My dreams have come true in the shape of a mod for Serious Sam VR.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFQJL68b-L4


    Duke3D is my favourite FPS game, favourite PC Game, and quite possibly my favourite game of all time.
    And since I love VR this is a dream come true.

    I love how they enhanced the first map to make it larger, have more enemies attacking the city, EDF soldiers fighting along your side and adding a Duke burger to the street also.

    Can't wait to play it.

    Played this a bit and its fantastic . word of warning though , I'm pretty used to vr and after finishing the firat level I was feeling queasy, so maybe dont turn off all comfort options and switch to classic controls straight away like I did...
