The PC was an odd duck in 1994. April 1994's PC Gamer includes a game that would grace the Playstation unchanged and another that was a downgrade on a NES original.
In the backdrop of this late DOS era chaos, PC Gamer have the top 50 of all time. Are they right?

I came back because of the people who watch my videos, thanks to all of you.

I just realised that scrolling can be used to do temporal reprojection of interlaced lines to reduce the artefacts. Only in 2d space but still 😮!

Since there is a Shinobi action figure now (as well as a new game by @lizardcube.bsky.social & @sega-west.bsky.social) and many 80s kids had Godzilla toys I thought this would be a nice game room decorations from one of my favorite games of all time, #TheRevengeOfShinobi.

Pure curiosity: has anyone looked into the course data in Virtua Racing Deluxe on the 32X? Daytona USA was once floated for 32X and I wondered if Sega planned to build it on the VR engine. If so, could a Daytona-style ROM hack be possible? Totally theoretical, but a fun idea.

Started working on the Dragon 32 port of Jurl, lots to do - the game is crammed in there, but I think i'm going to have to rewrite the drawing code in assembler for speed #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroComputing
