    What retro things have you done today?

    The other day I finished Toejam and Earl for the first time despite having started it a good bunch of times over the last 30 years…

    Made my own ArcadeR Joystick

    This is awesome!!! is the JLF stock? You may or may not know you can get stiffer springs and an oversized actuator that will change the feel to something much more positive. My current stick of choice is the Seimitsu LS56, with a short throw mod, but that’s for arcade SHMUPs. Amiga games might...

    Legendary British games programmer, Archer Maclean has died

    IK+ is still fantastic fun. Love the simple mechanic, brilliant sound effects, and all of the attention to detail in the graphics

    LCD Lightgun? Yes please.

    Had the same e-mail… product linked here:- https://www.arcadeworlduk.com/products/ae-light-gun-for-pc-and-raspberry-pi-works-with-lcd-led-crt-projectors-and-plasma-displays.html It’s not based on the Sinden as it comes with IR sensors… I might have a dabble at it. It’s £130 and looks pretty good

    Any memories of the old shops we used to visit?

    yep!! Joke shop, fishing shop (that sold pellet guns to underage idiots like me!), SoundZone record shop, dodgy cafe at the back with arcade machines, and software plus right where you described it (these may have all been at different times during the life of Liberty Hall!)

    Any memories of the old shops we used to visit?

    Yes!! The one in Basildon was yellow too!!! Can you imagine a yellow shop these days?!? The 90’s were a savage time!! :p (Late 80’s even??)

    Any memories of the old shops we used to visit?

    I genuinely came in here looking for Software Plus! Awesome little place!! I used to go to the one in the corner, at the front of Liberty Hall in Basildon. Was there another in Southend? mom another note, Liberty Hall was also the only place locally to have Arcade machines. Awesome selection...

    LCD Lightgun? Yes please.

    This thread is genuinely the reason I didn't get one, but actually sourced a brand new GunCon 2 and a refurbed PS2 so I can play Time Crisis and Virtua Cop again. I did intend to emulate and use the Sinden, but I don't think being an early adopter is the move. Bring on Sinden Mk 2!!

    What retro game would you like to see modernised?

    I was playing this on the Genesis just the other day. Still holds up! Fantastic fun.

    What retro game would you like to see modernised?

    Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. It was a fantastically fun multiplayer FPS (based on Wolfenstein, obvs) and was inexplicably completely free to play. Was before micro transactions too. Small maps, mission based game play, with four (or five??) basic classes each supporting the others.

    LCD Lightgun? Yes please.

    From looking around, seems to work well with everything!! Emulators, OG hardware, the lot! Impressive stuff

    LCD Lightgun? Yes please.

    Seriously tempted... I'd only use it for the Time Crisis and Virtua Cop games on a PS2 emulator... but to be able to play all of those games again, on an OLED, for £130?!? I'm going to have to pull the trigger and get one (pun unintended, but left in because it made me roll my eyes at myself)...

    Best reasonably priced upscaler for a Sega Megadrive / N64?

    This might be useful when making your decision.

    Best reasonably priced upscaler for a Sega Megadrive / N64?

    I'd highly recommend the OSSC. It is more than you are looking to spend, but not enormously so ("ideally £70" - OSSC is €110/£99.26) and is fantastic. Well worth the extra thirty quid for sure. I use it to display a Mega Drive 2 on an ultrawide monitor, and it's perfectly crisp, has no lag, and...
