The Jimquisition: I'm Not Saying Emulators Are Cool, BUT...
Added 2016-07-25 15:13:14 +0000 UTCDiscussing emulation as a games pundit can be risky business - it's a taboo subject, and you can't be seen to endorse it even slightly.
However, the existence of emulation ought to be treated more importantly and taken seriously, especially when you consider how devalued a lot of older games can become.
Also this week - highlights from Sonic's 25th anniversary shitshow, and some amusing #FucKonami News.

2016-07-26 17:06:27 +0000 UTCEmulators keep gaming history alive in the face of companies that can rarely be seen to bother. They channel the passion and talent of a lot of passionate and talented people, people who often seem to care about old companies' products a lot more than those companies (or whatever odd entity that came, through some twisted, labyrinthine history, to own the rights) themselves do. I'm reminded of all the DVD and Blu-Ray re-masterings that were only possible because independent collectors had kept private copies of movies, the studios' own footage having long since disintegrated from poor keeping and maintenance. Video games are similar, only at a dangerously heightened time scale before their code might become completely unavailable or unusable. Oh, and incidentally: Kuchera has made it quite clear that he holds his own audience well beneath contempt on numerous occasions, so who gives a flying fig what that inflated, closed-minded, self-righteous twit opines about the subject?

2016-07-25 23:56:25 +0000 UTCI saw the list for the Ninento Mini and there were only 6 games I wanted to try. That's $10 a game. I wouldn't pay that much for a modern tablet game.
