Speaking of the Eshop, I did notice that on NSW2 they actually sort fairly well & unlike PSN do NOT limit results to 100 so Hamster's Arcade Archives & Neo Geo ACA collections show ALL of their RESULTS
I got to see all AA & ACA games, including ones on sale
One question though why Hamster believes

We'll get the P4 remake, they'll possibly tease P6 for 2027-28 & still pretend SMT ...IF doesn't exist & wasn't the start of the Persona series
So business as usual😉
As I said before, they could technically port the PSP P1 & P2 duology since the tech exists w/o much work & overhead, we'll see

A partial email to Conatus Creative Inc. while I was trouble shooting issues with the hard copy of River City Ransom: Underground Dated July 2018
They were never able to fix the issue with the disc, I had to request a GoG key to get the DRM free version instead
I backed the game in September 2013

This is going to be a quick 'n dirty machine language translation from Edia like the Cosmic Fantasy Collections were, so please don't expect anything more than that

I am probably ONE of the few people who OWN a physical copy of the game, but as I said it CANNOT be installed without having Steam installed, so essentially it's a coaster

Hope it looks better than the demo preview I just watched it looks slow & boring (which is a shame)
Right now, it needs more enemies & a serious injection of more action because it falls into one of those 'chill' games which metroid-vanias aren't known for...

90's Euro (UK) mags, being 'casually racist' 🤨😐
I had started a project earlier this year (which I had to abandon due to time) to investigate whether or not there was 2D BIAS in the mid-90's during the PS1 era
& if it was somehow engendered by journalists of that time or PR from Sony
The results

CDPR isn't keeping GoG internal anymore, but it's staying with one of the founders (so essentially it's not going anywhere or changing hands or management)

(I've been incorrectly combining both series for years) it also didn't help that Legend of Sword and Fairy goes by Chinese Paladin as well which further added to my confusion.
