This game looks so chunky in pure pixels like this... and so amazing on a CRT to blend those edges a bit and make that faux-transparency work. Still a great game in any case... I love my Twin Stick controllers I bought for only two games (they work on Dreamcast too, with the right adapter).

It really does; the versions in Rondo of Blood go even harder, though. Seriously, Rondo on PC Engine is peak Castlevania soundtrack.

It's amazing how little I hear about Stand on Zanzibar, a Hugo winner that's truly amazing. I went through a phase of reading most Hugo finalists, going forward from the beginning, and that one just blew me away with how great it was, and I'd never heard of it prior to picking it up in the list.

and if you got REAL lucky, those 6 AAs gave you... 4 hours of battery life. If you were lucky. The rechargeable battery packs worked pretty well, though.

You mean "Bare Knuckle 3". Bare Knuckle 3 is a great game. Streets of Rage 3 is an abomination and one of the best examples of ruining a game via localization that exists.

MiSTer FPGA History Series: Part 5: Progressing Toward The Late '90s At this point, MiSTer captured the zeitgeist of the 80s and early 90s, in both the arcades and in the home, for gaming. That'd be pushed towards the mid and late 90s as things progressed.

Part 5 of my series walking through the history of MiSTerFPGA is here, covering the year 2021. Lots of great stuff that year! classicgam.ing/mister-fpga-...

There's another clone of the MiSTer from QMTech as well: www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807... They're out of stock right now too, though. I own one of each of the clones, and two originals; they all work great.

MiSTer FPGA History Series: Part 4: More Mature, More Capable, More Costly 2020 was a pivotal year for the MiSTer, but not everything was turning up roses. Thanks to COVID, things were sometimes more difficult and expensive, but the community persevered and even thrived.

Since the reviews for my previous articles were so positive, I've got another #MisterFPGA History article for all of you, covering the year of 2020: classicgam.ing/mister-fpga-... . This is the year that, in my opinion, the MiSTer really started to resemble what it is today in most respects.

MiSTer FPGA History Series: Part 1: MiST Now that we're entering 2025, the MiSTer FPGA project is far from new. It's been around since 2017, when it started as a port of the MiST project. MiST has been around since 2013, and is still receivi...

Over the past week or so, I've been documenting and compiling some insights onto the early history of the MiSTer FPGA project; I've just brought it forward through the end of 2019. classicgam.ing/mister-fpga-... is the first post, it links to parts two and three; more forthcoming.

Plastic often at least becomes porous over time; if you've had it a while, it can start to do capillary action things

They've gotten far cheaper, thanks to the new clones.

QMTech's board is very mildly cheaper... But not quite as compatible with other Mister hardware. I own one of each, as well as two de10 stacks.

I hope the reset helps. I'll likely be streaming a bit more again soon, just put together a new PC. Waiting on the case, so it's just a test bench build right now, but it all works. Will likely do some streaming to put it through its paces when the case comes in
