Re: The New Games On Old Systems Thread
I just can’t justify dropping $50 on a NES novelty. It would be nice on an NES Classic, though.

Re: The New Games On Old Systems Thread
I'll probably order the cart next month depending on much shipping is. If shipping is only about A$15 then I'll get it, because A$80 is not much more than new NES games cost in the early 90s here.
Some cool news: An updated version of Sam's Journey has been released for the C64 Mini.
And a browser version of Portal C64 has been released.

Re: The New Games On Old Systems Thread
When I see stuff like this it makes me wonder, if this had come out back in the 80s would it had been a big hit? Would people have found the whole portal mechanic revolutionary? Or would it have just blended in with the 100s of other C64 games out there.Dr.Zoidberg wrote: Portal

It's hard to say how it would have been judged back then. The C64 version is fun and well made but I think it would just another good game at the time, not a level above everything. It works better as a 3D game.
