The Dons’ new home shirt draws inspiration from the leopard on the city’s coat of arms, with an all over sublimated graphic referencing the animal sublimated into the shirt in their traditional red colourway.

@Ottoslayer10000 @evercaderetro I'd imagine majority of games will be the NTSC rom, except for EU only releases

@sir_top_and_hat @evercaderetro Looking forward to it.

Scottish football grounds are some of the most unique in character and location anywhere in the world.

This thread will aim to showcase some of the best…

As a premise, when we were developing Hard Battle, Street Fighter II was already out in arcades, but it hadn’t yet been released for home consoles.

My starting point was that the people buying a Ranma game were Ranma fans—not fighting game enthusiasts. In fact, we once received a survey postcard from an 8-year-old saying they couldn’t beat the first opponent in the previous game (Neighborhood Combat Edition), so I selected and balanced the in-game characters with that kind of player in mind. Characters like Gosunkugi and King, who are obviously weak, were meant to be easy for beginners to defeat while still being appealing in their own ways.

Since home versions of Street Fighter II weren’t available yet, I thought it would be better to design the controls with a character-driven action game mindset rather than relying on fighting game conventions. For example, the double jump ability of Girl Ranma and Shampoo wasn’t inspired by fighting games, but rather by classic action platformers. That’s one reason why the control system in Hard Battle feels unique.

At the same time, I anticipated that once Street Fighter II was released on home consoles, players might approach the game expecting similar mechanics—so I also included a key configuration option that allowed them to set up their buttons like Street Fighter II.

My goal was to create a game that both beginners and experienced players could enjoy.

Fight on the frontlines of the Future War as Commander John Connor in Terminator 2D: NO FATE!

John can upgrade his plasma rifle with 3 ammo types, including the Homing Plasma.

These bullets lock onto & home in on enemies, so you can run & gun without worrying about aiming!

Stalled buying this cart since it came out because I'm just not into the Evercade home computer collections. Big mistake! picked it up last week and The sword of Ianna is magnificent!

[UFO Retro Gamer @UfoRetro]

@RetroTitans @evercaderetro @a_byatt @cleaverslips Great episode. Loved the conversation!

[UFO Retro Gamer @UfoRetro]

@TeacherBloke85 I have a very similar set up and passion 😁

[UFO Retro Gamer @UfoRetro]

@sir_top_and_hat @VirtualJames @C64Reposts Looks an amazing set up. Very cool.

+4 was my second home computer after the ViC 20. I had a couple of cartridge games which I thought were the coolest. Both were hand me downs from my uncle.
