Welcome to my channel Gamester81 where I review retro and obscure consoles, video games, home brew games and more! Interested in sending something? You can send stuff to me at:
When I was a kid I never had a game console. My time was occupied by my drums and my Art. I did get a computer in 1995, with Windows 95 installed of course. Once I played Jazz Jackrabbit that came installed on the PC I was hooked. I started buying a ton of PC games, most of them still in DOS. Some of the best I remembered playing were Doom and Doom II (of course), Terminal Velocity, Heroes of Might and Magic II (excellent turn based game), World Of Warcraft II Tides of Darkness, Crusader No Remorse, Rise Of The Triad, Blood, The Gabriel Knight series, Fallout, I have no mouth and I must scream (based on the Hugo award winning short story by Harlan Ellison) , Descent (which thankfully didn't give me a headache or vertigo like it did some) and so many more. I am currently in the process of downloading eXoDOS and I can't wait to give it a spin. So many great memories including a retail store that bought and sold used PC games. I loved talking to fellow nerds about the greatest games to play on the PC.
I didn't even know this opened in the US yet. Wow, $40-$45 for the wrist bands? And the price of the food.....doesn't sound like I can afford this place. I'm poor.😮💨
Greetings from central Florida WYLD ELF26 here 😸👍👍 , ,well I completely endorse this Wild and amazing gamer THEME PARK 🏆 John ,so in next years I hope they add even more to this Big ""N"" theme park , , ,I'm riding EPONA back to HYRULE may the Triforce bless you 🎉 😸👍👍
Looks cool, and glad you all had a fun time! I'm from Indiana, so it's more likely that I'll go to the Orlando one after it opens, but yeah looks fun for sure.
It's really quite bizarre that they would build a playground for middle aged people. Thanks for the video. The only reason I might have considered going is out of curiosity to see what it looks like, now I don't have to. Even if it's only 30 minute drive from me, the ticket price is pretty ridiculous.
I love my polymega, but i got lucky, i landed on firmware 1.1.22 so i can still play SNES games fine. Yeah i can't do N64 but i don't got that module anyways, I have over 600 games installed on my polymega right now, but i really hope 1.1.32 update comes out sooner rather than later.
Used to play this and temporel inc. The fact that you talk about the videoway system and resurrect these games is quite awesome! Thanks for this dose of nostalgia John!
This makes no sense to buy in my opinion. If you want emulation, get a mini PC for $250-350, and load it up with Retrobat, or any other emulation front end, with Retrobat most controllers are already set up, put the roms in the folders, get a bios pack, you're done. This is just not the way.
Great video John! The value in this is for people who don't want to buy all the individual systems and deal with the potential problems of 30+ year old hardware, to have something that works out-of-the-box with modern hdmi tvs. And also the support and updates the company provides.
Looking for a hand held that does GameCube. Looking to play phantasy star online on a trip will have no access to a TV. Best option one of the retroid or Asus ally?
I started collecting from N64 and beyond, so as it stands, I don't have a use for it right now, but once the N64 module comes out, that would be nice! Though, what would be even better if it supported Dreamcast, (Orignal) Xbox, and Xbox 360. But I doubt any of those will come out. Maybe Dreamcast, but seeing how long the N64 is taking to come out, it'll probably be a while. Portables, like 3DS, PSP, (Super) Game Boy, Game Gear, etc., would also be nice.
I don't see any of the three. Dreamcast is limited by the drive. Dreamcast games (which are GD-ROM) can only be read by certain CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives, and I doubt that the one that they used is compatible. Xbox and 360 are limited by the CPU. What is a possibility is allowing Dreamcast backups to be played. You'd only need a firmware update.
Just to let you know on all your videos your sound bounces from left to right continuously might be worth in post putting your sound in mono as it's distracting when you are listening via headphones. Thanks for the great content John 😊
Looks like a good build and the module approach is nice but the price is way too much ... And i know you were avoiding being bias and good on you because that was a dumb bridge for them to burn.bbbbi domt see this succeeding
If it was $250 I might get the Polymega. I see it more as a convenient way to play games while traveling, or to lend to family without worry, but a top-end product? I just don't see it. The current price sure implies that Playmaji does see it as that lol. You can sideload games with the retro blasters. I would do that with NES games, as those are just too old to pay good money on for me. The Polymega would have to have retrotink 4k quality scanlines for me to want to play NES games on it, though...
Wean i lreaned the truth about The Polymega years ago I give up on it and suck with Retro Pi since I knew being based on Linux and uses The Raspberry Pi computer system. I'm not as worried about it.
