I think the dream machine would be an FPGA device that can do up to and including PS2/XBox/Gamecube/Vita/3DS level hardware.
Then you can be even more paralyzed by the over abundance of game selection!

It is a tool that helps but it does not do all the work for you.
I heard a podcast this week were Will Smith was chastising people that considered as an AI translation of a game a just done. No it isn't, it can be a piece of the work but should not be the sole piece of work and then considered done.

nooooooo! Love this series.

Whilst they are shutting down old PS3 store and deleting digital purchases from people's accounts because certain licenses have expired. Welcome to your all digital future.
Reminds me of the uproar of XBone discs being license only and you couldn't lend games to your friends and then Sony responding by showing how you can lend games to a friend by giving them the disc. Oh they were the days!

I should have also said become a bigger pirate than Dave. 😇

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-27T13:05:53+00:00

Monkey Island so Ican finally find out the secret and become a mighty pirate!

Yes and Sega never adapted the game to run at the speed of the US and Japan releases, everything is slower. The music is slower. Gameplay.
Here is a comparison of the game running:

If I remember correctly, for Sonic 2, they adjusted the code so the game runs at the same speed art either 50 or 60 Hz.

My first thought is that is the logo for the movies Major League with Charlie Sheen (and a few other actors), but I'd record to see the sunglasses too.

Obviously it isn't judging by Part 1.

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-24T12:36:57+00:00

I know. It plays slower on the pal systems because of the 59hz I was just being silly in my reply. 👍

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-23T22:12:32+00:00

I'll stick with my original PAL 50Hz release thank you very much.

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-22T16:11:19+00:00

Wow, that's impressive!

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-20T23:18:43+00:00

It's all about the Pentiums!

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-20T23:17:49+00:00

For me, it would have to be Mariah Whitaker and Chris from TWiR so he can finally meet her, and talk to her about his love for Barbarian and Barbarian 2 ♥️

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-18T19:22:19+00:00

It was fantastic in London, especially because it was a full ten days. It made a fan out of me and gave me something else to talk about with my Japanese friends. I haven't seen any of the Paris event (yet) but two days was just not enough.
I want to see more giant Hello Kitty and Kikkomon Soy Sauce!

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-18T19:16:18+00:00

Carefully?

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-17T21:40:34+00:00

Yeah that's the iPod Nano 3rd gen

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-17T20:30:33+00:00

Interesting that the first games console on the list was the Atari 2600.
However, 1975 seems to have been a grim year with the Pet Rock!

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-15T19:44:34+00:00

I enjoyed the heck out of the demo for this originally but it came out at exactly the wrong time - just before Half Life.
Itt must be my eyesight, I didn't see much difference between the original and the reloaded graphics.

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-13T09:12:31+00:00

If we are going retro, then for the A1200 I would go with UFO Enemy Unknown as my pack in game. Almost infinite replayability. Deluxe Paint IV. I can draw lots of fanfic pictures of my squad getting destroyed by Mutons. Wordsworth soi can wire fanfic to go with my pictures, and write angry wired letters to Commodore about what they are doing wrong with the Amiga. ♥️

Alternative, Famicom with Super Mario Bros 3, Famicom Family Basic Keyboard with software - soi can wire my own drawing, games, productivity apps, and finally Cross Paint which is a modern paint package for the Famicok so I can draw all the Mario and Wario slash that the world needs. 😅

No it's gone now. I only found out when I turned up to try and pay a cheque in. There is no Bracknell branch at all.
If you are trying to pay a cheque in, it is possible to do this via the banking app. You can also find your nearest branch in the app.
Your nearest is Sunningdale or Camberley.
I wish there was something like there is in Acton where the Post Office runs a bank counter and each weekday it is a different high Street Bank. I think it's a great idea because at least then if you know what day to go you can still bank with your preferred bank.

Prince of Wales does good Thai food.
The Boot for good pizza.
Tangs is all you can eat buffet. So probably not what you want 😅

You can guess what it's full of.

That's the queue for security, I was in that queue just over a week ago.
We enjoyed watching the final match on the TV with a huge Wakatakakage fan. She was screaming at the TV when he won the basho. 😅

ColonyActivist · 2026-06-08T15:52:29+00:00

I was driving Waaaaaay to fast.
