   The time has come although I wish it hadn't. Retro Core Volume 32 is the final Retro Core for the foreseeable future.

   It's been a while in the making but finally I've put the 23rd volume of Retro Core 3 together.

   Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a gamer in Japan? I bet you think it's heaven with a house full of games. Well, unless you are someone who is single or someone who cares more about their hobby than family, that dream could be true. For the normal guy with a family the idea of being a gamer in Japan isn't as great as you may think. For a start, Japanese homes are not so big plus the average woman isn't in to games unlike what the media will have you believe. So why am I telling you this? Well, in this volume of Retro Core I give you a quick tour of my home and gaming set up. Also featured in Volume 21 of Retro Core is a look at Saturn Virtua Fighter VS the Arcade version, Stun Runner for the Arcade, Moto Roader II for the PC Engine, Time Killers for the Arcade, Arrow Flash for the Mega Drive and finally Metamoquester for the Arcade. So, quite a packed show and quite a lot of arcade stuff too. For more details see http://www.segagagadomain.com/RetroCorepage-main.

   12. Volume 12 - Out Run 1209 - Korean Master System - Alien VS Predator

   13 years ago

   Have you ever wondered what games you may have missed for a very common system? Well, in Europe the Sega Master System was king of consoles unlike the US and Japan where the Famicom / NES ruled supreme. In Europe Sega had it big during the 8bit and 16 bit days. So it stands to reason that the European Master System library is massive! But that's not to say every game was released in Europe. Oh no. The Koreans were busy ripping off other peoples work and porting the games to the Master System as well as 1 or 2 original titles. Some of which are actually pretty good. Check them out in the special Korean Master System game round up as well as Out Run 2019 for the Mega Drive and Alien VS Predator on the arcade.

    13 years ago

    Are you one of the many people that thought quality joysticks only came around in the last generation? well think again. Saturn had an Astro City arcade joystick! 100% same build quality as Japanese arcades. But even before that in the 16 bit days there were many good sticks. In this show I take a look at the JB King Joystick for the Super Famicom / SNES. This is one hell of a good stick. Game wise there's Sonic Blastman also for the Super Famicom and Gynoug for the Mega Drive. Better known as Wings of Wor in the US.

One of the best 2D fighter of it's time IMO and the awful looking but great sounding shooter, Verytex on the Mega Drive. For more details see http://www.segagagadomain.com/RetroCorepage-main.

    1. Volume 1 - Jewel Master

    13 years ago

    Retro Core 3 is over but that's no reason to be upset because Retro Core 4 is here to take over. This new series of Retro Core will feature less games per show however with luck there should be more shows per month rather than just the one show ever 5 or 6 weeks. So what can you expect to see in this 1st volume of Retro Core 4? Well, the main game this week is Jewel Master for the Mega Drive. Not such a widely known game and possibly a pretty good title that many may have over looked. I also take a video in the newly opened Hard Off. In fact it was only opened yesterday! So I headed off down there with my phone and grabbed a bit of video from their "Junk" section. Oh, and for fans of "Shite of the show" Don't worry. It will be back from volume 2 For more details see http://www.segagagadomain.com/RetroCorepage-main.

Retro Core 5 takes a new format with each show having it's own theme. Also for the first time ever, every game you see on the show is played on real hardware. No emulation at all!

   6 years ago

   NOTICE - The Splatter House section has had around 1 minute cut from it due to a copyright claim by NamcoBandai. Sorry about that. The intro to that section is now missing. In the late 80's and early 90's home computer games were hit and miss in the west while most arcade conversions were a joke. In japan on the other had the world of computer gaming was a whole different story. We had the Sharp X68000 bringing us arcade perfect ports but at a very expensive price. This is where the Fujitsu FM Towns comes in. It's basically an Intel CPU powered PC with later models being able to run Windows. Yet it also features custom graphical hardware. Let's take a look at how a Japanese home computer coped with arcade gaming as well as original gaming for the home. All game footage in this video was recorded via RGB at 60fps from a real FM TOWNS II Fresh computer. No emulation was used in this video.

    10. Volume 10 - Sprite based 3D Arcade Games

    10 years ago

    Back in the mid to early 90's there were not that many polygon based arcade games mainly due to the technology being too expensive and well, really slow. So Japanese software developers started to make 3D games using sprites. Sega were by far the most advanced in this form of gaming with Taito following close behind. In Volume 10 of Retro Core 5, we take a look at 10 classic sprite based 3D games. Enjoy!

    5. Volume 5 - Pandora's Box 3 Arcade review

    11 years ago

    NOTICE: The video quality of the Pandora's Box when connected to the capture card is not a fault of the Pandora's Box. The image is rather funky due to my capture card not liking the Supergun's video output. Pandora's Box 3, some people love it, others hate it. Many of the reviews are also quite bias. Today I take a look at the Pandora's Box 3 and tell you the truth about this little box of arcade hits.

Well, they will be covered in the 2nd part of this show which will be coming later in the year so don't worry.

    Retro Core is back. In this new series I finally have a green screen although my use of it in this first show isn't too good. Better lighting is needed I think. Also in this new series each show will have it's own theme plus I'll be using 100% real hardware. No emulation at all.
