Just chiming in to remind everyone that my RetroUSB AVS order was delayed just under four years during covid.

It’s got some prime CD-ROM multimedia era material to explore at least.

RIP Brian Wilson. The entire “game” is set to just different Beach Boys songs.

Hotel Mario is alright

Burn:Cycle is pretty good

it has a strong version of The 7th Guest and several other FMV games (most of these aren’t supported on the core yet because no video cartridge)

if we’re going to invoke the Retropals, you have to play Escape from Cyber City, the only way to play arcade game Freedom Fighter in current year because it’s not emulated AFAIK

Mod Retro has a second batch of Chromatics.
Sapphire glass is a premium upgrade this time, the new ones use gorilla glass.
There are some accessories including the battery pack I thought would never come out. They’re doing it, they’re releasing the battery pack.

They also have an M64 tab with no info yet, so the Analogue 3D might be getting some competition.

Grateful I got a Super Nt (missed the SNES era being a Genesis kid) and got to clack around a bunch of nicotine stained Super Famicom carts from eBay, but boy howdy am I glad I bailed on Analogue stuff when I did.

Only wish I’d done it sooner, I guess!
