This one is even better, I always recommend it among the good arcade conversions for the Amiga - and I also played it on the arcade back then for comparison:

Happy birthday, Bubble Bobble! It was released exactly 40 years ago today, on June 16, 1986. The arcade version was absolutely brilliant, being one of the first games to have a coop-multiplayer option. It was also one of the the most ported arcade games in history, with over 20 ports to home computers and consoles, including even the legendary TI-84 Plus (primarily a calculator). The port that got the highest praise and came closest to the original arcade experience was the C64 version. Excellent graphics, one of the most recognizable tunes , and great gameplay make Bubble Bobble a timeless classic. My brother and I played the crap out of this one back in the day, and we still load it up on my old C64 when he comes for a visit. It's like riding a bike, you never forget how to play Bubble Bobble.

Back in the ‘90s, there was one arcade game you were almost guaranteed to find: Irem’s Ninja Baseball Bat Man. It was incredibly fun, and with support for up to four players, it was one of the best games to enjoy with friends. But did you know this? While the game was a huge hit in South Korea, it received a fairly lukewarm response in Japan and was released in very limited numbers in North America, making it virtually unknown there. Pretty strange, isn’t it? One of the reasons I loved this game was that, unlike most Irem titles, it wasn’t brutally difficult. You could have a great time with just a single credit. Most Irem games were known for their gritty atmosphere, incredibly detailed pixel art, and punishing difficulty. This one, however, stood out with its bright colors and cute, round character designs, giving it a completely different feel. If you’ve never played it before, do yourself a favor and try it on an emulator.

Let me introduce Altered Beast, one of Sega’s classic arcade games. If you’re in your 40s and spent any time in arcades, you’ve probably seen it at least once—more likely many times. When you defeat the white wolf, it drops an orb. When you collect it, you hear the famous “Power up!” voice and the main character starts becoming more muscular. After the third power-up, he finally transforms into a beast, gaining incredible strength. That transformation is really the core of the game. Another fun part is that each stage lets you transform into different beasts like a werewolf, dragon, tiger, or bear. I had a lot of fun playing it in arcades back then. Later it was ported to the Mega Drive and also to the Famicom. But the Famicom version was a bit disappointing compared to what I expected. The transformation animation is one of the highlights of the game, but it’s missing there, so it doesn’t quite capture the same impact as the arcade version.

The reason I got into game collecting was the Neo Geo MVS arcade system. Around 2005, I came across an arcade game community where modders gathered—people who converted arcade games so they could be played at home on consoles. While being active in that community for a long time, I started collecting MVS games one by one. Eventually, that expanded into collecting console systems, PC games, and later even full arcade cabinets. I also began collecting Neo Geo AES from that time. Although I collect many kinds of games, the Neo Geo series is especially meaningful to me.

Any fans of this masterpiece? One of the few games I managed to finish (in 2 player mode with my brother) without using unlimited lives: Silkworm It's a classic horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up developed and published by Tecmo for arcades in 1988. You control either a heli (player 1) or a jeep (player 2) as they blast through enemy territory. And "blast" in the very sense of the word - great sound effects, epic explosions, and non-stop action. The helicopter offers free movement in the air, while the jeep drives on the ground, can jump over obstacles like mines, and has a turret that rotates to shoot in a 180 degree angle. Originally an arcade game, it was later ported to home computers like the Amiga (as in the video) and consoles. To me still one of the best games ever for the Amiga, and still playing it these days when my brother comes for a visit.

Before Sensible Soccer became a legend, this 1989 Commodore Amiga football game changed everything with banana kicks, indoor arenas, and arcade chaos! 5 mind-blowing facts about MicroProse Soccer that prove it was ahead of its time. 1. The Forerunner to a Classic: Developed by Sensible Software (Jon Hare & Chris Yates) for the C64 in 1988 and ported to Amiga in 1989 by Electronic Pencil Company, it directly inspired the legendary Sensible Soccer series. Many call it "Sensible Soccer v0.1". 2. Pioneering Banana Kicks: One of the first games with after-touch! Hold the button and angle your shot for swerving "banana" kicks in three power levels — a game-changer that Kick Off later popularized. 3. Indoor 6-a-Side Mayhem: Besides full 11-a-side outdoor matches, it featured frantic indoor soccer on a smaller pitch with boards (inspired by the real Major Indoor Soccer League). 4. Many retro gamers still argue the C64 original feels snappier (are you one of them), but the Amiga version shines with better graphics and sound. 5. Inspired by an Arcade Hit: Jon Hare based it heavily on the 1985 arcade game Tehkan World Cup (Tecmo), adapting its top-down view and physics for joystick controls while adding original twists. Zzap magazine rated the Amiga version just 62%, did it deserve more?

Did you know that arcade cabinets with CRT monitors actually had three different resolutions? Most classic 2D arcade games used a 15kHz (320×240) resolution. This was the same resolution commonly used by CRT TVs and many 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit home consoles. Then Sega introduced higher-resolution arcade games with Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing, which used 24kHz (496×384). Sega Model 1, 2, and 3 arcade boards are famous for using this resolution. One of the reasons the Sega Saturn versions of Virtua Fighter 2 and Daytona USA looked so different from the arcade versions was because of this resolution gap. Later 3D arcade games moved to 31kHz (640×480) resolution. Sega NAOMI games are one of the best-known examples. That’s why you need to be careful when buying an arcade cabinet. Early cabinets only supported 15kHz, while the commonly seen Astro City supported both 15kHz and 24kHz. Later cabinets like Blast City, Net City, and New Net City were known as “3-mode” cabinets because they supported all three resolutions. The tricky part is that both the game board and the arcade cabinet itself can have resolution settings. If the settings are wrong, you can end up running a high-resolution game in low resolution. So if you’re buying an arcade cabinet, make sure you carefully check which resolutions it supports.

SONY WON'T SAY WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PS5 DISCS. XBOX JUST LEAKED ITS ANSWER publisher roadmap obtained by the verge on august 3, reportedly codenamed positron. microsoft has confirmed none of it. - one pass through the drive on an xbox one or series x mints a digital license for that game - the disc goes back on the shelf. the game boots on your xbox hardware, drive or no drive - the license lives with the disc. lend it out, and the moment it spins in someone else's console your copy dies and theirs wakes up - series s owners get nothing. no drive, no way in - publishers pick which games qualify and are allowed to bill you for the conversion the roadmap stamps its own dates as subject to change, and the verge reports july's insider beta was delayed. sony finally spoke last week and still would not say whether the ps5 collection you already paid for follows you to ps6. microsoft is getting applause for this. it is the same destination sony chose, approached with better manners. a disc from 2013 needs no server, no account, no living publisher - it spins and it works. the shelf behind you took years to build and asked permission from nobody. keep that in mind while everyone claps.

XBOX JUST LEAKED ITS ANSWER publisher roadmap obtained by the verge on august 3, reportedly codenamed positron. microsoft has confirmed none of it. - one pass through the drive on an xbox one or series x mints a digital license for that game - the disc goes back on the shelf. the game boots on your xbox hardware, drive or no drive - the license lives with the disc. lend it out, and the moment it spins in someone else's console your copy dies and theirs wakes up - series s owners get nothing. no drive, no way in - publishers pick which games qualify and are allowed to bill you for the conversion the roadmap stamps its own dates as subject to change, and the verge reports july's insider beta was delayed. sony finally spoke last week and still would not say whether the ps5 collection you already paid for follows you to ps6. microsoft is getting applause for this. it is the same destination sony chose, approached with better manners. a disc from 2013 needs no server, no account, no living publisher - it spins and it works. the shelf behind you took years to build and asked permission from nobody. keep that in mind while everyone claps.
