I am still impressed by how poorly thought out every single aspect of Retroarch's user experience is. And im stuck with it since its the best way to emulate sega cd games on steam deck currently.

I recently found this port of Golden Axe and it's not half bad. Very strange movement and gameplay changes but the art style is consistent in its 3D adaptation. I've been looking into ports of these k...

This game's cooler than Smash, roster, gameplay, and presentation wise. Shame it got cancelled.

Despite having better controls second one was so much less fun to play. Can't even pinpoint what exactly went wrong but it all just feels obtuse and a little more retarded somehow

I'm gonna say it, it left me disappointed in 2001, and over the years I still haven't warmed up to it. No amount of zoomer revisionism will change my opinion of the game.

Anyone else prefer fanmade remakes that remove unnecessary color to the original game? This is the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade
