Interesting they did a sale on Steam, but not on the DRM free version🤨
Supposedly the guy arguing with me the other day said the Steam version doesn't have DRM (outside of the Steam client itself)
But now the only version that was totally clean of DRM can only be gotten if you 🏴☠️😐

No Story Spoilers, but will be discussing game mechanics as before
You've Been Warned 😉
I've almost finished a living dex (5 mon missing) & can confidently speak to the DLC (been taking notes of things I want to dicuss)
W/O further ado...

Want to expand upon this post as I saw the occasion mention of Rondo of Blood while scrolling comments tonight...
I went to look at the available numbers to see the viability of the project aka how much $$$ it would make if released
This is based on what Kenji Eno's D (3DO) did that was released

Re: Neo Geo ACA Hamster Collections
This case holds 5 GAMES
Seems strange they'd release this & even w/two of them it would only hold what has been released (10 vols.) & yet wouldn't hold the final game (Vol. 11)
I seriously hope that aren't considering bailing on the FINAL 10 games missing

Also as I said in my other post, they have enough lined up for at least 2 years worth of product, so after that point is when his influence on projects will be noticed since the successors who took over would be making those calls
We'll also see if other boutique labels step up or if LRG will
We'll also see if other boutique labels step up or if LRG will
6)not to twist the knife for those still waiting, but at this point unless Krafton FINALLY announces it, don't hold out hope LRG's going to do this
Same with Rondo of Blood on PC Engine, especially after that issue with D on 3DO & the burned discs (which they fixed) it wouldn't be profitable to do

Want to elaborate here, really quickly as I've seen Clear River Games (another Embracer subsidiary) provide a lot of content for themselves & LRG to release & I expect them to continue to do so
So we'll see possibly them taking a more direct role in positioning titles for release the CRG/LRG in '26
So we'll see possibly them taking a more direct role in positioning titles for release the CRG/LRG in '26
2)whether or not behind the scenes they continue that momentum without the final founding member, I can't say, the next two years should show if LRG has legs to stand on it's own w/o Josh guiding things as it has beared things w/o Douglas since his departure, so time will tell here

Can't say as 2026 started up, I was expecting to read THIS...
A few thoughts (having followed LRG & its founders for a better part of a decade)
1)Reading between the lines it seems this was also someone predicated by selling the company out to Embracer, I'd wager Josh lost some of the control he

The only good deal I'm seeing here is Elevator Action Returns for $6
Everything else is overpriced for what it is $6 for Whomp'em, come on man, it's fun, but maybe for half that
Steam Hearts is competent, but was controversial for it's uncensored version (not included here) & a little pricey still

I watched this a few years ago (big fan of the 60s anime as cheesy as it is)
I can tell I wasn't the target audience here, I also see the ~30 year olds who love it, would have been late teens / early 20s
There was just too much green screen here for me, I have cult films I love that people outside

1)Very few to No GKC to cart re-releases (unless high demand WILL SELL titles)
2)Lots of *****ing about distro titles being NOT on CART (they've already done this, see Raido remastered)
3)Still lots of *****ing because LRG is doing it, it SHOULD be at RETAIL🙄😂

@playstation.com For a 2026 new years resolution can you increase the search results count on PSN to over 100+?
(E.g. Hamster's Arcade Archives has over 500+ titles, yet I can ONLY see 100 max at a time on PSN)
Nintendo's Eshop can do that now, hoping you can match them soon? 🤞😉🤞

Speaking of the Eshop, I did notice that on NSW2 they actually sort fairly well & unlike PSN do NOT limit results to 100 so Hamster's Arcade Archives & Neo Geo ACA collections show ALL of their RESULTS
I got to see all AA & ACA games, including ones on sale
One question though why Hamster believes

Hope it looks better than the demo preview I just watched it looks slow & boring (which is a shame)
Right now, it needs more enemies & a serious injection of more action because it falls into one of those 'chill' games which metroid-vanias aren't known for...
