Ah makes sense why I never recall seeing the games here.

I never heard of em either. Thanks for the mini review / recommend Simon! Gonna grab this one next I think.

Lol sorry.. which 2 did you go for?

@@CrazyBurger Data east .and reangade lol

Lol I've loved Dizzy since Christmas 1990! If you mean original Technos them no. I dont like it. I've hardly played it. Not a Double Dragon fan. Definitely not a nes Double Dragon fan. The Technos Arcade cart however is a huge improvement. I like that cart.

Data East and Technos Arcade both amazing - came with the Premium Pack which is half the reason I went that way! Definitely going to grab Renovation next that looks so good, I never knew any of the games but I am liking what I am seeing in the video. Simon man how do you know so much about Renovation? You know I thought I was like really nerdy to have an Amiga500 and now a VS; but man you're making me look a noob LOL Renowho? Can't wait to grab that one now!

@Daily Corvid well I was a Megadrive collector many moons ago (I got to 515/539 for the PAL set). I stumbled across a Japanese game with multiple manuals! This piqued my interest. I also owned El Viento back in the day (£50 on import in 1992) and I really wish I kept it! See the price now! Mental. It also helps having the video game magazines back then too, Telegames sold via mail order so they had adverts for import games. Telegames were great for this. They also distributed a lot of the Atari Jaguar games too. I then found out more recently that there were a lot more games than I realised! Even today more are being discovered as it wasn't through a retail channel that was visible (mail order) so actual documentation isn't available

@@simonpophale1250 That's awesome man, I wish I had kept my old megadrive, and the box. These days everything is used once then boxed with receipt and blog LOL I learned my lessons with that megadrive! You're a bit of a find aren't you. How do you feel about preservation of games these days? I have a collection with a website that catalogs all the stuff, but I really would like to expand it and also add some other cultural stuff; music maybe or vids. I could pull all those little details out if you had the time? I would say write the blog here you can stick it right on my site and we will decide later if its worth publishing it without the password lock. Dude there are MILLIONS of games!! I was in Portugal once and they have the same there. Every country has it's own consoles and games there is a fucking universe of universes!! That's the reason I got back into games and now collection! Aww man it's like being a kid when you learn to ride your bike lol. 41 year old child! Haha b ut it's cool, this stuff deserves a place in time that never goes away.

@Daily Corvid can't take all the credit but its been my hobby for 40 years. I started gaming in 1982! Also I spent a number of years on a website dedicated to collecting in the PAL region. I've spent years around more knowledgeable people who are proper enthusiasts for specific platforms, so I've learned some things from them. Shame that site doest exist in that format any more.

@@simonpophale1250 I wrote a comment but it has disappeared! Aww that's annoying.

Lol weeks?! It's going around the world!

@@CrazyBurger Really? Why is that I just ordered it off Amazon like the rest and they're all next day! Hopefully it works lol be gutted if it's DOA.

@@CrazyBurger :D I just thought that Scottish people say "World" the way we English say the word "Harold" but with Wi instead of Ha... Wirrold! Lol my parents are from Paisley but it's the only accent I can't parody.

@@DailyCorvid that's actually pretty rare but it did happen primarily with Mega Cats if I recall. Then a few other carts afterwards.

@@DailyCorvid lol I'll need to make sure I avoid saying that word in a video now. My accent probably isn't too far off a Paisley one. Closer to Glasgow than Edinburgh at least.

Is there a difference? Phallis Or Valis?!

@@CrazyBurger - "Phallus" means penis, lol! 😆

@@JohnnyProctor9 you learn something everyday.. thats an altogether different game entirely.

All the version on the original data East are home console versions. Megadrive.

The problem with Psycho Pinball is if you use a savestate (necessary to keep your highscore) the game drops an audio channel so you can't hear the music properly.

@@obsoleteworlds They will probably fix that with a firmware update. So far I haven't used Save States with Psycho Pinball. One thing I forgot to mention is that the Dizzy games being ported to the Jaguar also offer Save States,

No.. I dont agree.. that cart disappointed me. Loads of games but majority not great. The 2 games that are great are not even original Codemasters games. Plus for me growing up Codemasters was all about home computers. Not having c64, spectrum or even Amiga means this cart is limited to what was released on consoles.

@@CrazyBurger - Really? Are we talking about Cannon Fodder and Mega-Lo-Mania here? What about the Spacehead games and Psycho Pinball? I really enjoyed those ones...and I hear that Sensible Soccer is quite good if you enjoy sports/football games. ⚽

It's out of stock in a lot of places here too. Funstock have copies though and ship internationally.

@@CrazyBurgerFunstock? Thanks. I'll check there.

Ah .. I'm not sure actually about the handheld.. I think it was patched on the cart via the VS.. though if you don't have a VS that's not helpful.. there is a final firmware update for the original handheld coming. I'd expect to see it mid December

@@CrazyBurger I'd like to find out. i'm a bit concerned that with only one FW update left there are still many outstanding things that need fixing like the music problem with Psycho Pinball and the neverending saga of Asteroids Deluxe.

@@obsoleteworlds I don't think the Asteroids one will be fixed. Just sweeping that on under the carpet!

The purple carts are arcade.. Red are console.

It was only a short term license. Less than a year. All profits went to charity.
