That's pretty cool. I have quite a few old systems I could hook up with that. I do remember having to do a two wire antenna to coax adapter with some of them.. I'd have to figure out something there. Thanks for the advice!

    I just use the official Steam Link app to do this for Steam games. It even works on Pixel phones. Wouldn't use it for a fast-paced action game that required timing, tho, cuz the input lag is pretty noticeable. Mostly I just play Civilization through it.

    Shining force games are great, but I'd argue better on an emulator to speed things up a bit. If you get stuck anywhere due to being under-leveled, just start a battle and egress before the end to repeat it.

    I mostly otherwise played sonic and the like. I could never get my hands on phantasy star for some reason, so never really got into it, though it seems to be right up my alley.

    Theres a few options for this! I used GameNative a lot. If you own a handheld there might be a steamos-like Linux distro for it. I have an Odin Mini with armada os and it runs most indies well

    I love to see passionate people working on the slightly more niche retro systems. The 3DO has tons of great, but also strange and unique, games.

    Ugh I can't wait. I have a duo coming today and I've been running cocoon on my 4 pro hut I'm excited to see what its like on a dual screen device. I much prefer cocoon over iisu too, I was having issues with scraping in iisu that cocoon doesn't have.

    It's been ages since I've played.

    But I don't believe the missing shard indicates which one you're missing.

    You'll need to revisit each boss. I can't remember if it'll be solid yellow or flashing if unclaimed.

    Found this handy map on vgmaps.de

    BMX XXX

    Me and some other nerds in my high school horded a pile of "forbidden" games, either games that were banned in the UK or just edgy shit most places wouldn't sell to 11-14yos.

    Our friend with a JTAG'd Xbox got a copy of BMX XXX and invited us round to witness it. You'd think we were meeting to watch a snuff film the way we talked about it. Ended just up being a pretty mid game with mild nudity you'd already catch on late night TV.

    I still get a chuckle anytime someone brings up that game because of that.
