Well, they had a single case of attempted voter fraud, so now I guess it's only fair we award Trump the presidency here and now. I believe those are the rules.

That "if" is doing a lot of heavy lifting and maybe Poland doesn't want to yolo World War 3.
To make this a black and white issue is kinda weird when the severity of being wrong is so high. Just because Poland is being a considerate partner to other NATO member states doesn't mean it's required to act that way.
The same way you beat any game in the 1980s and early '90s: lots of pattern memorization based on trial and error. In the arcade, that means lots of quarters.
Once a game like Dragon's Lair was memorized, you could play through the entire thing on only a couple quarters, to the astonishment of arcade bystanders.
Kids and teenagers had more time back then because smart phones and Instagram and YouTube didn't exist. People underestimate what a huge time sink those can be.
No one had Internet access. You could play a game, play an instrument, read a book, go to the mall and the arcade and maybe catch a movie, go outside, or watch whatever happened to be on the 3-4 network TV channels (or possibly cable if your family had the money). And TV back then was mostly terrible.
So if you had $10 in your pocket, that was an entire afternoon of entertainment at the arcade and movie theater.
Lots of great quotes from this game.

I was a senior in high school at the time and even back then I thought this kind of advertising was crass, gross, and unnecessary. No nostalgia here, just second-hand embarrassment.
How can someone look at all these different styles, let alone the ones that literally look like they're drawn by a six-year-old, and think, "Yeah, that's fine"?
Here are the salient details, minus the fluff:
The haul had an estimated value of €47.5m, Mr Langella said, a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.
They were "all from China" and were imported to be sold in specialised shops or online, Mr Langella said.
All the devices were fitted with non-certified batteries and electrical circuits and did not meet EU technical or safety standards. The seized games have been destroyed.
Nine Italian nationals have been arrested and charged with trading in counterfeited goods. If found guilty, they face up to eight years in prison.
It's an interesting video, I suppose more so if you didn't experience game history in real time like those of us who did. No one ever thought Half-Life looked real. But wow, if you experienced games starting with text only and colored squares like I did, each new capability was incredible.
In Zork, you were wondering around an entire dungeon, simulated in text. Anything was possible!
Then a game like Ultima VII came around. The world was so huge, and it felt like a whole world where I could do anything. It was to me how Skyrim was in its time.
Ultima Underworld (or Wolfenstein 3-D or Doom for most people) felt incredible because it was movement in a 3D space, but without step transitions like the earlier dungeon games. When I walk, I actually see my movement in real time!
Each step was bringing us closer and closer to reality, and when you get to a game like Half-Life, where it feels like a small section of a world was being faithfully simulated, it was incredible.
This stage was tough, but it wasn't unfair; I beat it many times. The next stage, the one with the Turtle Van—that one was tough because of the mob enemies and because I had no idea what I was supposed to do. Watching long plays of it later, it's really obvious why I only beat it a few times. The Mechaturtle boss was also brutal!
I never did make it past the airport. This game was ridiculous.
Like castor oil, or..?
This is a very complicated question. Reverse engineering a public game server via network traffic sniffing is legal in the general sense because you're doing it without direct knowledge of the server code. However many game EULAs forbid exactly this, or even forbid playing on private servers. And you have to agree to the EULA in order to use the game client. When in doubt, read the EULA.
However, speaking practically, many game companies don't enforce this.
This plays Game Boy and Game Boy Color games and you have to build it yourself.
Analogue Pocket comes preassembled and plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance out of the box, plus Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, NGP Color, and Lynx with adapters. If jailbroken it plays pretty much anything from a card. And Analogue OS has a ton of options, what are you talking about?
I'm glad we have more FPGA consoles coming out; after all, the RetroUSB AES is better and cheaper in many ways than the Nt Mini. But Analogue also created the market and is constantly pushing the envelope on technology. Analogue builds good products and this Game Boy Color alternative sounds great too.
If they can prove clean room isolation, it's also legal for a team to document the plans in detailed technical language and another team to implement from the documentation (provided to them via an intermediary not involved in either effort).
This is how the IBM BIOS was replicated by Compaq for its line of "IBM-compatible" PCs.
I really can't stand it when people feel the need to denigrate other people's hobbies.
Not having a nose is probably an asset in a medieval war camp.
Fan speculation and a whole article about it, and no one took the time to actually check...
I did literally five minutes of research and the remastered game screenshots on Sony's blog post match the Working Designs script. So between that and the fact that a new translation isn't listed in the features, it's it pretty clear that they're using that script, at least for English.
No, it's up to Capcom to produce a product that people want to buy. That's how markets work.
This level of over analysis about a children's brand was a joy to read
They didn't want you to rent it multiple times. They wanted you to rent it once, be unable to beat it, but be intrigued enough that you purchased the game from a store. If you could play and beat a game in a single rental, there was little incentive to buy it (so the developers thought, and I imagine had some data to back it up).
"Old" as in 2017 time frame.
I played this again many years ago on Xbox when the Disney Afternoon Collection came out, along with Rescue Rangers 2, DuckTales 1 & 2, and Darkwing Duck.
The music for these fans was really great, owing to Capcom. DuckTales is basically an unofficial mini Mega Man soundtrack at times (Moon Stage, Transylvania Stage, Mine Stage). Many of the themes from Darkwing Duck also sound like they come from Mega Man 3 specifically, like the ending theme (very bluesy).
I have zero need for a PS5 Pro, but... I do want this.
It has nothing to do with Nintendo or litigation.
To be fair, there's never been a time when Final Fantasy 9 could've been a single game. It's simply never been possible.
At this point no one can act surprised when they receive a cease and desist. I wish creators like this would spend their time making their own games instead of piggybacking on established IP, but they continue to do it because it garners headlines like this. In other words, they're trading on Nintendo IP for promotional reasons. If they swapped the player character and the level design, far fewer people would hear about it.
Don't get ready for the nursing home just yet. You're not that old if you wanted it when you were growing up.
The National Videogame Museum appeared to know little about the deal for it to take on the cabinet and added "As far as we’ve been told, there has been some recent water damage to the unit, which might make it impossible".
It later said it hadn't been contacted before the purchase and, because of its current condition and storage implications, it would not be accepting the cabinet.
PSA: This kind of thing happens far too often. If you're planning on buying something to donate to a museum, contact them before purchase! Involve them in the process from the beginning, especially if the condition is in question.
Financially stupid is entirely relative to someone's financial situation and their level of obsession with Neo Geo. Also it's $1,893 against the current extremely favorable exchange rate.
No, I'm not gonna buy it. Just saying.
No, it doesn't copy the game data in the way you're describing, anymore than a Game Genie would (it doesn't either).
And anyway, this Nintendo lawyer fear is getting a little ridiculous in this community. ROM dumping for this kind of data is legal, at least in the United States.
Every small electronics company is dealing with this if they source high-quality parts. It's just gotten much harder in the last several years to source quality components in large numbers from China, and the big hardware manufacturers always get the lion's share.
Follow any similar companies and you see a similar stop-start pattern, quickly selling out, and yearlong preorders.
Ordered mine a year ago, and still waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Between this and my HDMI mod I need to apply, I think my Dreamcast may be coming out of storage soon.
OK, I looked up his Wikipedia entry and apparently he's been a games journalist since the early 1980s. He was editor on many notable publications, including Zzap!64, Computer and Video Games, the official Sega magazine (UK), IGN, @gamer, World of Warcraft magazine, GamePro, and USGamer.
In the middle of the '90s he was credited on 19 games from his time at Virgin Interactive, and rose to the rank of VP Design, but you've probably never played the titles listed except for maybe The Lion King or The Jungle Book.
I have a modded Game Boy Camera with a custom wide angle lens, a GB Operator, and lots of video calls. Sounds like it's time to downgrade from my 4K DSLR feed!
Update: It just says "coming soon" on my Mac.
The Game Gear was only good for 2-3 hours on six AA batteries, so you basically had to play tethered to the wall or invest in lots of rechargeable batteries. The library also wasn't as strong overall as the Game Boy's, although its top games were previous-gen console quality (because they literally were in other territories).
Both screens were also just awful about blurring during fast movement. Nintendo wisely avoided it altogether, while Sega was bound by their flagship brand. When you really got going in something like Sonic Chaos, particularly considering the small viewing window, you were really just letting Jesus take the wheel.
Source: I was a Game Gear kid.
No evidence this is authentic and no way to authenticate it. But sure, I suppose some people have $35,000 to spare.
To add to that, I think this may have been the game that started that trend. There was always a difficulty ramp, but the sudden spike level came later in the series. Any Mario platformer these days has a crazy difficulty spike near the end.
I mean, New Super Mario Bros. 2 had an entire DLC called "impossible levels." And don't get me started on The Final-Final Challenge in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
I think they're going for the Analogue market. Real hardware for real cartridges, built to modern standards (like HDMI).
Two problems:
Analogue consoles are all FPGA. This isn't. It's more like the Hyperkin consoles from that perspective.
I'm not sure how much demand (read: nostalgia) there is for these older consoles these days. At retro game conventions I haven't seen much. It's mostly NES and later.
Atari probably could have won over some of that market if they used an FPGA, but they've gotten this wrong again and again by contracting with companies who put an emulator on a SOC in a box.
Up voted for recommending real Roland hardware. I have an MT-32, CM-32L, and SC-55mkII to cover all my compatibility bases.
OK, I'm a big text adventure fan too, as well as a programmer and hobbyist electronics tinkerer, and you gave me a great idea.
I want to take this cheap wireless home theater keyboard and see if I can replace the touchscreen with a tiny OLED display and power it all with a simple board running Linux for text adventure games. The biggest challenge might be getting everything to fit properly in the case, but if I can make it work I'd have a portable text "game boy"!
Because if Russia retaliates it means all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Kind of a big deal that you maybe don't want to just decide on your own.
