This guy says the same thing: I'm curious though, does it run if you put the disc in an actual Xbox 360?

LRG needs to make up its mind whether it wants to be "rare collector games" or "direct-to-consumer retailer". Trying to be both is where most of their costumer complaints are stemming from. e.g. the small minority of scalpers and delayed-scalpers are upset that their games are losing value, and...

Well, you need to remember that game prices you see on eBay are not "demand". The cycle always goes like this: Scalpers/resellers buy a bunch of extra copies. Especially for games that are touted as some combination of "limited", "popular franchise", "cult classic", etc. They then immediately...

In an odd coincidence, I just got an email that Aksys Games is releasing a physical version of Raging Bytes. Which is a Kemco game. So I think it's safe to say that they're done with LRG at this point.

Whoa, I've never seen this before either. Maybe this is part of LRG's apparent shift to "We'll make a bunch of junk to accompany your already-existing game." Though they've always been doing non-console branded boxes. For everything except the Switch, which apparently Nintendo forces them to...

Oh, Skype's been around since the early 2000s. It grew popular because you could make VoIP calls to anyone. And I mean just straight to their landline phones; it didn't require the other person to download any sort of "app". And thus you'd avoid all long-distance fees and any other phone fees...

Looking into this, my Grim Fandango actually came from iam8bit, so at least in my case this "auto-email notify system" didn't miss one.

You know, I make fun of people a lot for using Twitter or Discord instead of an actual business website, but they actually DO have a website, and they're still like "Naaah, let's announce things the stupid way." Also, I actually did order all three of the games for this Triangle Box, and I can...

Regarding Vireland, it's also very likely they did offer him an insultingly low amount. Like, the Genesis Mini had what, 20-30 games on it? Oh wait, the internet exists... 60!? Holy shit. So yeah, and each of those devs were probably offered like a buck or two, adding up to the final price, and...

I've been thinking the same thing for months now. In retrospect I think it's safe to say that that was one of the Doug improvement proposals...

Also, this isn't "officially translated into English for the first time." I don't know where they got that from. This is Cybernator on the SNES, and it is very much in English. This is a re-translation, but it hardly matters since the dialogue isn't any deeper than "go here and blast the bad...

The contrarians being shouted down really surprised me. Like it was blatantly obvious that they were LRG employees who wanted to anonymously mention their bad experiences with Doug too. But Doug releases all this dirt about Josh, and suddenly the whole thread is about Doug being the true hero...

Ohhhh, so is that the reason we didn't get KoF 13 Global Match until a few months ago, even though Europe had a release last year? Now that explains a lot. KoF 14 Ultimate Edition coming up soon, guys!

Also, I really like that idea of selling digitally before making the physical. Obviously the physical game would be more complete. Digital fans have proven that they're fine spending money to get nothing, and you can even call it a "beta" and they'll pay YOU to work as your QA employees...

I don't think it's Carbon Engine's fault, so much as they just have terrible QA. People assume that ports of existing games are just a slap-it-on overnight job, and they are really not. Even at the laziest, as an auto-launched emulator starting a ROM without adding a new front-end UI or options...

I've been wondering about this myself. I fear that LRG may have abandoned all further Kemco releases. For a while, the LRG Kemco releases basically followed the order of the releases of the Asian "4-games-in-1" physical versions. (except LRG released them all individually.) Around 2022, Kemco...

And most normal companies, for the entire history of video games, have sold their special editons for a neglectible $10 or $20 markup, and including things people actually want (art book, soundtrack, steel book). LRG is the one who's just fond of selling you a bag of crap for like $50 extra. Or...

Because people don't buy vinyl to listen to it. I'm very sure that even from that half that own record players, most of them still don't listen to the ones they buy. Maybe they play it exactly once as a "test run", and then never again. And probably don't even play it all the way through. And at...

I was holding out for this one, since I assumed LRG would do it. They've worked with SNK a ton before, and a physical edition was created for PAL. There's no reason why they wouldn't've wanted to release this one for NTSC. They sure took their sweet-ass time, though. The PAL one was like a year ago.

Yeah, it's more of "unlicensed game" than "repro". I was thinking about this for a while, how the term "repro" is misused all the time, and even made a list in my head of all the types of games that get mislabeled. Here's the tier list, in order from Garbage to Gold: "Counterfeits" - The maker...
