I was finally able to get a hold of the elusive Nec Pac N-1 module, which is a cool add-on unit for the LaserActive. It allows the unit to read Hucards, Pc Engine CDs and LD-Rom2. LD-Rom2 are laserdiscs specifically developed for the Nec Pac module.

This is my current set up. The Sega Pac with its branded LaserActive controller is sitting on top of the unit, while the Nec Pac is inside the CLD-A100 unit itself. I tested it with a US Turbo Duo pad first, but controls didn't work, so I had to switch to a Japanese Super Grafx controller instead to get things going. On the side of the unit, two LD-ROM2 (Vajra on the left side and Vajra 2 on the right side) and 3 Mega LDs on the back (from left to right, Space Berserker, Hyperion and Triad Stone).

December, 21st I recently rediscovered an awesome retro website with plenty of information, screenshots and reviews of Pc Engine, Super Famicom and Famicom Disk System games, so I recommend you check it out at http://www.videogameden.com/

Time for some pure and undiluted masochism with Goku Makaimura Kai (Psp) . Can you take this kind of old school massacre?
November, 3rd
A few retro updates, with some very unforgiving games: Disposable Hero, Super Stardust, Myth History In The Making and Pirates! Gold, all for Commodore's CD32 console.

Back again with a couple of updates. The Atari Jaguar, Jaguar CD and Amiga 4000 sections have been opened although no links are yet available. For the rest, some minor errors were corrected in some reviews. Now onto the games:

October, 18th

I apologize for disappearing for a few months, but I should finally be back with a few games updates. Embarking on the restyling of my website ended up being a time-consuming vortex which literally sucked out hours of my life. Hopefully the end result is decent enough. Enjoy!
