This is just insanity, the voice named Sky didn’t sound like Scarlet Johannson, even going as far as to remove it due to backlash is nuts. I adore Scarlet Johannson’s voice, and not once in the demo videos of ChatGPT-4o did I think it sounds like Scarlet, not a single time.

It sucks that all this backlash is against arguably the best voice they have at their disposal. Now we’ll all be stuck with Juniper, which is just… ok.

Yeah, just ask Bethesda about Skyrim!

That looks great, plus I loved that series that this art style is from.

I can’t really say that Ghostbusters for the Master System was a GOOD game lol. I agree though, that map twisted my brain trying to understand the perspective the buildings were drawn in. I also only played the game with a money cheat so I could afford stuff. I think I beat the game a few times, the part at the end of having to time running past the Marshmallow Man sucked.

I think I got the most play time out of R-Type. Honorable mentions, Ghostbusters, Bomber Raid, Rambo, Space Harrier.

I remember being so excited going from 14.4 to 33.6! Don’t even get me started on CD-ROM speeds!

Nostalgia! Riding my bike to a store so I can spend 5 bucks on a PC gamer magazine just for the demo disk. Because downloading a demo was just an obscene proposition with 14.4k dial up modem.

Thank you for the wonderful write up! I’m always amazing how nice of a job PC Engine does!

Thank you for this! I grew up with sega consoles starting with the master system and I had Golden Axe for genesis and loved it!

That V is so deep, it’s practically subterranean. Only Riker could pull that off, and Tasha is picking up what he’s putting down.

I think digital store only titles really muddy the waters in terms of completionist collecting. I don’t see any reason why people interested in collecting wouldn’t also collect PS4/Xbox/Switch games though. To me the more pressing question is, what will happen to retro collecting when consoles stop having physical releases? Kids growing up in that time period won’t get the joy of returning to childhood favorites by getting a working console and physical games. That makes me sad, I my self have had a blast putting together a collection of my favorite Genesis and PS1 games along with a lot of consoles from that era.
