Has anyone here played Road Redemption which is meant to be the spiritual successor to Road Rash?

I didn't even know Road Redemption existed! Road Rash brings back so many memories! I used to play hours and hours of it on my old Win95 PC and eventually on the PS1. Simple and fun!

I played it heaps on my Gameboy. I loved everything about it, the music and gameplay. You can imagine how excited I was to play it on the Sega Mega Drive and Win 95 once I got to them. Such an awesome game.

Road Redemption's preview was commended by the developers of Road Rash - that's how awesome it looked.

I have my Raspberry Pi set up with a large amount of games. Now I'm just waiting for my Nespi case to arrive http://retroflag.com/ and my NES controllers to arrive.

Is that only compatible with NES games? The Retron 5 console is known to be capable of playing a wide range of games from NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance cartridges via HDMI. However they have to be legitimate. I won't run copys or bootleg versions of them.

Also are you talking about games that are pre-loaded into the system or games you've had from back in the day?

Nah, compatible with anything. That link I shared it purely for the case. It's just a plastic case for the Raspberry Pi. Then you load all the games on to an SD card along with Retropie software, stick it in the Raspberry Pi, stick the Raspberry Pi in the NESPi case, plug in some controllers and HDMI/power cables and you're good to go.

Of course there's a lot more involved than that including ripping the original games so you can play them off flash card, and setting up the Retropie software correctly with the right emulators so it works well.

I've been looking to get a Rasberry Pi Gameboy kit, as I'm more of a portable gamer. Everytime I think about doing it, I keep then changing my mind and thinking the GPD XD would be the better option for portable emulation.

Yeah that's cool, but I'm not much of a peripheral guy and my phone would last 5min with battery life being my daily gaming device on the go. haha

@Hacky McAxe @Raysie They made something like that for the iPad called iCade.

Not exactly something I would want to carry around on the train lol. Plus I would get so obsessed it would drain the battery.

Haha nice! So many cool custom gaming creations out there.

New(ish) game on Android and iOS called Sega Heroes. It's like a connect 3 puzzle game where when you connect 3 colours, the character assigned to that colour attacks an opposing character. It's pretty fun, I'm at level 42 right now.

Great nostalgia with many awesome Sega characters across multiple platforms over the years return transforming your phone into a handheld console
