Great round-up, I'm very excited for He-Man and the PC-88 mini.<br><br>Zool? Another ST port, no thanks. Dodonpachi - I got this and can confirm it's a total mess. Manic Miner - 😂😂😂 what a train wreck!

I absolutely agree that they should have included unreleased Activision prototypes in cartridge form for this release. Appreciate packing so much in this update

I love these news videos! Thank you for making them. The use of AI slop in bringing these franchises back is really frustrating. I'd love to get my hands on the Cyberpunk Commodore 64, but it's a bit pricey and I have to imagine they will sell out pretty quickly.

The only way Atari are gonna get me interested in their stuff is if they can give me an unemulated system with HDMI out, preferably a 7800, but a 2600 would be cool, too. I mean, especially for the 2600, the custom chips could be fabricated by pretty much any backwater fab, as they're so basic, it just all feels a bit... half-arsed with the emulators. All they'd need to add would be some basic composite to RGB chip with HDMI out in place of the RF modulator.<br><br>As for the new Commodore, isn't Cyberpunk 2077 way too overdone? Then again, I was tired of it before it even come out.

Could really go for an updated Jaguar pack for Atari 50. Would love to see something new.

oof, right in my childhood....that Manic Miner looks absolutely dreadful. I bet you know already, but there's an updated version of Apidya from the Amiga being released on all platforms. I preordered the switch version from Strictly Limited. I loved Apidya back in the day.

I don't collect or really have any interest in 2600 any more. Played on my mates as a kid and wanted one, till he got a Spectrum. I'm surprised you say so many 2600 carts are now rare and expensive. Considering how long the 2600 was sold for, I'm surprised there aren't millions of carts around. I have a Jaguar but don't have any of the ST ports, I don't see the point. At least enhance them or create something new using some of the Jaguar hw instead of just the 68k. The c77 looks cool, but it's annoying for those of us that already bought an ultimate. First they annoy with the C version and now this !!!!! Will there be a C shaped c77 ?
