There's also the Retron 5 that plays NES, SNES and Genesis carts. Also the Retro Freak: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-cyber-... Each of these devices have their own issues though.

As someone that just shelled out $200 for a PVM CRT monitor to support retro-gaming, this device doesn't appeal to me at all . I'd wager I'd get a better gaming experience via a low-lag emulator with the appropriate shader

I'm sure there are certain fields where the amount you realise you do not know is proportional to how much you do know.

I've been playing Kenta Cho's games since forever. I've sunk countless hours into Noiz2sa, rRootage, Parsec47 and Tumiki Fighters. His games are usually very minimal, creative and stylish with a nice techno soundtrack. htt

I don't think QBasic's mainstream popularity can be understated. Googling "gorillas.bas" gives you a predictable result. I suppose it can be argued that Gorillas and Nibbles are partly responsible for QBasic's pop

It's a query with an existence constraint, meaning that the query will only return data if at least 1 value is returned by the EXISTS predicate. In this case, you should get back all the data from ThisTable as long as there's a r

That's a rubbish statement that you quoted. Some tribes often fought with each other, others didn't (eg. who were the Khoi-san people at war with?). And often, the ones who did fight amongst each other lost more in terms of live

I'd have to agree. Most ZA BBSs only popped up after 1990. http://bbs.hmvh.net/lists/the_list.htm There were a few that were around during the late 80s, so it's plausible that there may have been BBS caterin

I think many people (myself included) spent ages recreating Nehe's rotating cubes and then calling it a day. It was fun, but looking back I wish there were more sources for learning actual game design. Now that I think about it, I&#x2

Toyota was fined $1.2b in 2014 for deliberately concealing safety defects - something that was linked to actual deaths. It was the biggest fine ever handed down to a car maker by US courts. I don't see how $5.2b is justifiable in this

On the one hand, $5.2B in 2 weeks is an unreasonable amount of money, and virtually everyone agrees that the value is only that high because of the kidnapping of the Finance Minister. On the other, MTN's service has been atrocious fo
