The banjo game looks right up my alley. Idk, something about these kinda-jank and simple GBA games just appeals to me so much. Didn't know Conker had a GBC game. It looks about how I would expect it lol. Thanks.
@BarrierWithAshes Mobygames has a massive database of games with enough metadata to be a good trick for obscure queries like this. Not perfect (I guess cataloguing metadata on every game ever made is complicated?), but good enough to give some plausible leads if you want to dig a bit. For example I see that there's a Banjo Kazooie GBA game that looks like it might be up your alley.
Link to "isometric platformers", since it doesn't seem to have a collectathon genre tag:
No offense to the creators, but the art styles being employed here are wholly inconsistent. I'm certain that there is a load of hard work going into this, but it just seems like one of those Skyrim ENB packs where mods from all sorts of various sources have been thrown together and each of them has a different aesthetic ideal driving them so the end result is a presentation that has really high production quality, but it has like 60 really high production qualities and they don't congeal into a cohesive whole.
All the best regardless, but the DMCA fairy is probably going to leave a letter for them soon. The first rule of Nintendo Fan Remake Club is that you don't talk about Nintendo Fan Remake Club until after you've got a finished product up as a Torrent.
Shhhhhhhhhhhh! Be quiet! Don’t talk about it until it’s fully playable, then put er up on torrent sites so it can’t be fully extinguished by the big N!
It's debatable whether the Wii U should be considered to be part of "retro gaming". It's my most up-to-date console. Nevertheless, I think it's worth getting this info out there.
Somehow I disagree with this. I hate to say it but Mario is easily the most iconic video game character of all time. I’m not even a huge Mario guy, but come on.
A few of his videos have popped up for me. The few videos I’ve seen are less of the methodical workings you see in most mod or repair videos, and rather possess the chaotic energy of an over-caffeinated toddler. The end result is a functioning product. It really is amazing.
I loved my A310 at the time. I'm not so much of a hardware person though, and I'm not sure I can get it working in the US, despite the rush of nostalgia it would mean. Main issue would be getting a monitor going with it.
@chamaeleon thanks for sharing. It's getting very expensive getting most things for the Acorn A series of machines unfortunately. RISC OS was so good though for the time.
I loved RISC OS. I got the computer in '87 or' 88, while at university. Such smooth multitasking for its time. For school work that involved writing some programs, I fired up the PC emulator in order to run Turbo Pascal. It was sweet seeing a virtual PC running in a window while doing other things in other windows. Writing graphics programs with GUIs (Acorn C) instead of just creating image files like most of the other students did was fun too.
I have used several, the first I used was RedSquirrel which later evolved into the commercial Virtual Acorn. After RedSquirrel stopped getting updates, have mainly used RPCEmu.
