Nintendo 64 Fully Recreated in FPGA! Analogue 3D Review
YouTube video by LGR Nintendo 64 Fully Recreated in FPGA! Analogue 3D Review

Reviewing the Analogue 3D on LGR!

A modern Nintendo 64 recreation in FPGA with upscaled 4K HDMI output, OG controller support + Bluetooth, and a claimed 100% compatibility with all commercial cartridges. Neat! And frustratingly unavailable.

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Having not heard of Iceflake before today, I'm certainly willing to give 'em a shot and see what they do going forward.

Buuut also it looks like they've primarily made mobile games, and then a Surviving Mars spinoff called Surviving the Aftermath. Which was overall reviewed as "okay" it looks like.

WOW, okay then. Didn't expect this news! forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/thread...

Development of the Cities Skylines franchise is moving away from Colossal Order to Iceflake Studios... CO will stick around to release their long-delayed bike patch and a beta version of the asset editor, but that's it.

Jeez, it's been nearly two years since the last LGR weird mouse video. So here's another!

Checking out an Oberhofer solid wood hard-carved wireless mouse, a watery mid-2000s Aqua Mouse, and a uh... Chrysler PT Cruiser from 2001 with tires on it. Yep.

LGR - Cities Skylines 2 - Two Years Later!
YouTube video by LGR LGR - Cities Skylines 2 - Two Years Later!

It has been TWO YEARS since Cities Skylines 2 launched, somehow. Time to revisit it alongside its first expansion pack on LGR!

Is the new Bridges & Ports DLC worth the $20 asking price, and has the base game experience improved much since 2023? Well, I have some thoughts...

I’d love to see someone restore their own Halikan, or maybe even use as a base to install some modern sleeper hardware inside.
