The Japanese Dreamcast game Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream has just been translated to English: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/5091/ Napple Tale is a 2.5d “action adventure” game, that today seems crazy it wouldn’t be released outside of Japan. I guess back in 2000 when it was released, the mainstream market was shifting more towards 3D role-playing games and the developers […]
I recently started collecting old Nintendo Power magazines (because I can’t help myself). I originally had a subscription from mid 2000 til the end. I got to enjoy some good years, but I feel like the REALLY good years were everything prior to me getting the magazines. Anyways, after thumbing through Vol 68 (January 1995) […]
A Brazilian company named GamesCare has just announced an 8×2 SCART switch for R$ 689.00 (about $170). In my opinion, the price point sits nicely between the $220 (fully featured) gscartsw and $60 (basic) Otaku switch, offering a good option for people. I’m not sure if they have plans to sell a cheaper 4×1 version, […]

Originally, due to the limitation of the on-board VIC-II chip, the C64 could output RF through RCA, Composite and out-of-spec S-video through an 8-pin Din connector. Now with […]
Mobius Strip Tech is now selling both Furrtek’s Virtual Tap video out kits and a servo emulator chip: https://mobiusstriptechnologies.com/product/virtual-tap/ https://mobiusstriptechnologies.com/product/servo-emu/ The servo emulator is an interesting device, as it “fools” the Virtual Boy to thinking there’s still mirrors and motors inside it. This is perfect for VB’s that are badly broken – I have one […]

Here, I wanna present you the GX-4000 from Amstrad. This console was released in September 1990 only in Europe. This is a 8bit console based on the Amstrad CPC architecture, released at a time when 16bit consoles were being released. That resulted in a system that lived barely a year and sold around 150,000 copies. […]
