Out of the World is such a neat game and I remembering being blown away by it the first time I saw it in 1999 when I found a bargain bin copy of Heart of the Alien at a Microplay in Canada.
Also worth reading as a supplement is Fabien Sanglard’s (Doom Black Book) analysis of many of the console ports back in the day.
Here’s the MD one - and you can follow the link to read about the other ports as well:

Wow that’s even smaller than I thought it was going to be.
More cack from the time of mascot games.

The all new RK2020
I have a vague memory of renting this for the SNES and kind of liking the pilot wings esque mode 7 bonus levels. The rest of the game as absolutely boring of course, but I always wondered why Sunsoft turned into this weird publisher of western produced garbage in the 16-bit era.

Awesome joystick build featuring the Brook Universal Fighting Board. This stick works on all current gen hardware as well as PC and Linux raspberry pi systems.

a handheld which has yet to be released but that doesn’t stop China.
It’s time for another remastered Battle of the Ports. The original Shinobi video was uploaded 6 years ago. Ran at 30fps 720p with no voice over. It also only covered 9 versions of Shinobi.
This Remastered video runs at 60fps 1080p, has a voiceover and covers 12 versions of shinobi. Editing and sound balance is also a lot tighter.

Tried the MD demo a few months back, and it was really impressive. There’s even video out there of later levels too.

About time, something that works well for a reasonable price.
A device NOT designed in China but is it any better? Check out the video to find out.
