Episode 10: SEGA SCREAMING

<h2>What We Are Playing This Week</h2> Megaman X-2. I conquered the first entry in the X series as a kid many times, but never gave the sequels much of a chance. Now I’m changing that, and already discovering what I’ve missed. </p> <h2>Steamdeck as a retro gaming paradise</h2> <a href="https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/10/16/steam-deck-emulation-starter-guide/" rel="nofollow">https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/10/16/steam-deck-emulation-starter-guide/</a> <br /> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9jDHIDKkU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs9jDHIDKkU</a> <br /> <a href="https://linuxgamingcentral.com/posts/metroid-prime-trilogy-on-deck/" rel="nofollow">https://linuxgamingcentral.com/posts/metroid-prime-trilogy-on-deck/</a> </p> <h2>Dreamcast Defense Force</h2> Analogy: Imagine a supremely talented athlete being drafted by a franchise that is clueless how to surround the player with talent and is saddled with a front office who are utterly incompetent. That’s what happened to the Dreamcast! In the end, the athlete never sniffs a championship and never gets the full recognition they deserve.</p> Shenmue: The open-world genre owes a huge debt of gratitude to Shenmue.
