Chikubi Ninja is an auto-scrolling action-platformer shoot-‘m-up with a groovy PSG soundtrack, where sharp reflexes and quick decisions are key to defeating every opponent. Designed for MSX2, but taking advantage of the MSX2+/turboR scrolling feature if present. https://www.msxdev.org/2025/12/27/msxdev25-21-chikubi-ninja/ Eric - After 25 Years, Google Has Finally Killed Dreamcast Web Browser Support | Time Extension https://www.timeextension.com/news/2025/12/after-25-years-google-has-finally-killed-dreamcast-web-browser-support Tim – Bridle for the C64 from the awesome Roy Fielding (aka Roysterini) has now been released, a play on his previous release Turdle.

In part 4 Vix takes a look at the ill fated PC-FX console and sets a few things historically right about the system that has been misreported over time. https://youtu.be/dg9dJ_0aHs8 Cody - https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/01/someone-finally-did-it-this-homebrew-dreamcast-game-uses-two-vmu-displays-at-once Eric - SN Operator lets you play actual SNES carts on your PC, pre-orders open Dec. 30th, 2025 https://gonintendo.com/contents/56332-sn-operator-lets-you-play-actual-snes-carts-on-your-pc-pre-orders-open-dec-30th-2025 Tim - Sega Channel on MiSTer (via RetroRGB) - One of the first download services for video game consoles that was released in the 90’s for the Sega Genesis and only available via Time Warner Cable service.

This is a BareMetal build of an Amiga emulator system that can be used on lots of different Intel or Arm based systems. It comes in an image you upload to an SD card or USB stick to boot from, you can also install it on an SSD. Not only does it provide Amiga emulation, but within it, it also emulates early Mac systems and allows you to run early Mac games. You do however need to provide kickstart ROMs to get it working, but if you own Amiga Forever from Colanto then you already have them! Its a great way to breathe new life into old hardware by turning it in to an Amiga. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFa8YWv6j98 Eric – 2048 for Pico-8 (GREAT VERSION!) https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=153397 Please give us a review on Apple Podcasts!
