Final Fight: A Home Port Comparison ( lemmy.world )
Everyone knows about Final Fight, right? This 1989 Capcom beat 'em up feels almost genre defining, even though it was not the first beat 'em up of its type. Nevertheless, it cast a long shadow over games that came after it, especially those released by Capcom....
What are your thoughts on the Carbon Engine? ( limitedrungames.com )
This just popped up in a feed of mine, looks like an interesting project bringing retro games to new consoles. I guess I’m wondering what other’s think. Would you be willing to buy your old game again?

Vigilante: A Home Port Comparison ( i.imgur.com )
Vigilante was a 1988 Irem coin-op, a kind of spiritual successor to 1984’s Kung Fu Master/Spartan X. Like the 1984 title, Vigilante had a simple premise - you walk to the right and beat up fools in front of you and behind you. There’s no pseudo-third-dimension, no in and out, it’s just straight up single plane brawling,...

CCG-style retro games?
Were there any card games like Magic: The Gathering for retro systems? I expect not, because the digital card game genre didn’t really “click” until later. But I thought I’d ask.

Should I get a Everdrive-GB X3 or X5 for my Gameboy
Im looking for a flashcard for my '89 Gameboy and stumbled upon the Everdrive-GB cartridges. The x3 is about 20 bucks cheaper than the x5. What am I missing out on if I get the cheaper one? Only thing I wanna do is to play a few homebrew gameboy games.
You know the story about the the error message edited to say "Thank you for playing Wing Commander"? That doesn't actually happen in any version of the game. ( www.wcnews.com )
I love when people dig down to get to the bottom of stories like this.
