Storyboards for ads, canceled consoles, planned ports, emails, so much to go through. Here's a post of highlights I found:
Here's some highlights
Sega Pluto, which was just a Saturn with a built-in modem, would've retailed for 550 bucks
Sega seriously considered bringing Terra Phantastica to the west, but ended up bailing on it
Vectorman was supposed to get a PC port before VM2 was released
Sega of Japan was developing a Mickey Mouse game that got canned
Sega of America genuinely believed that Saturn Sonic could be released in late '96
Sony was spending double on marketing what SoA did
Heart of Darkness was supposed to come out in summer '96 for Saturn, ended up being a PlayStation exclusive in '98
Sega Sports was hilarously understaffed compared to its competition at Sony and EA
Elder Scrolls Arena was planned to get an exclusive Saturn port
And all of the following games were planned to get a '96 Saturn release
Grand Theft Auto
Rayman 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Voyeur
Wing Commander IV
Alien vs Predator
Cyber Sled by Namco
OG Soul caliber on dreamcast is one of my fondest memories. We used to play that all day. swapping controllers with those waiting on the side when we lost. Good times.
While I’m not really in love with current Atari just buying a bunch of things it likes, I think they at least can’t do worse with the brand than Tommy Tallarico did
I love to cook, but I don’t always have the opportunity or time. and here I found an exciting game https://onlinegame.fan/dress-up/cake-master-shop-cake-making/ where I can reveal all my talents. Colorful and interesting, I think many will like it.
@BarrierWithAshes ummm.. I only know Digimon world 3, it's isometric rpg with turn based battle.
Other than that, I don't know any other isometric games (or maybe I just forgot).
That looks cool. Not what I'm looking for but interesting. Reminds me a bit of the MegamanEXE games.
Collectathons are just games (usually platformers) where you collect a bunch of stuff. Spyro you got the items in each level, gems, chests, sidequests (that give you items) and so on. There's a lot of stuff to collect. Banjo Kazooie is another collectathon.
The banjo game looks right up my alley. Idk, something about these kinda-jank and simple GBA games just appeals to me so much. Didn't know Conker had a GBC game. It looks about how I would expect it lol. Thanks.
@BarrierWithAshes Mobygames has a massive database of games with enough metadata to be a good trick for obscure queries like this. Not perfect (I guess cataloguing metadata on every game ever made is complicated?), but good enough to give some plausible leads if you want to dig a bit. For example I see that there's a Banjo Kazooie GBA game that looks like it might be up your alley.
Link to "isometric platformers", since it doesn't seem to have a collectathon genre tag:
Man, I've never actually used Mobygames aside from seeing it in Google search once in a while. Didn't know you could do those kinds of searches. Way better than trying to trawl through IGDB. Gonna check this out. Thanks! I already see a few that definitely fit the bill (and all GBA too!)
Many of the hardware problems I’ve seen people have with MiSTer setups stem from bad add-on boards bought cheap from AliExpress. Hopefully these DE10 Nano FPGA clone boards will be good quality and won’t cause a bunch of bug reports where there’s no problem with the code.
