The Atari 2600 Plus has a bit of a compatibility issue with PAL versions of games, which not many have picked up on unfortunately.

[@obsoleteworlds]

Is this something fixable in firmware?

[@Evercade_Effect]

Thanks for mentioning the Dukes on Evercade. 😃

[@wimwiddershins]

I think we all can agree this roundup was another Peng-winner!

[@Monkey_SK]

Merry Christmas and happy new Minki Mo Mo, or a fan translation to that affect.

[@VEGANVANIA]

Seeing this video was the first moment when I realized _it is December._

[@froedlmetallmann4643]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Simon!

[@drem_psb]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Simon! Hope forthcoming year will be even greater for retro community!

[@obsoleteworlds]

There was a stranger Turok title iirc. Some weird cutesy isometric thing for PC.

[@mattmyers9351]

Great video Simon!

[@logan_cadfgs]

Re last-minute panicked Duke addition: I honestly had no idea the Evercade handheld had enough ass behind it to run 3D games lol. Always assumed they were just cheapy MAME machines

[@retr0ricky]

Amazing video!

[@Marco-00]

Thanks for the round up and merry xmas to you!

[@tsartomato]

we demand captain comic on steam

[@tsartomato]

ooh samurai spirits rpg

[@tsartomato]

i suspect sneg means snow
but that's not for shure
there's also a chance it's the same people as in the chain of all the snow named companies of the 90s
