Now the best part: the game will shine while played in an old CRT TV. It is how I wished that Ninja Gaiden looked like back in the day. Highly recommended!

About the game: the 2D art is glorious, the music on point, the game has an increasing level of difficulty so expect to die a lot while you are learning the patterns of attack of new enemies.

It went dormant during the 90’s and in the early 2000’s some new 3D games were released for the XBox and other consoles. All being said, this new game is the first *true* Ninja Gaiden style game (i.e. 2D and raster graphics) released since Ninja Gaiden III in 1991 on the end of the NES life.

Continuing on the neo-retro games for new consoles: yesterday I started playing the newly released ‘Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound’. Back in the 80’s on the NES, the Ninja Gaiden series was know for three things: a) Great graphics; b) Great music; c) Extreme difficulty.

The good folks at Bitmap Bureau just released the new game ‘Terminator 2D’.It looks superb on a CRT tv! The physical release for the Nintendo Switch even includes manual + challenge coin + poster (in fabric, not paper!).The game looks pretty nice both on 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios.

Be the change you want to see in the world. I noticed that the wikipedia page for the Dreamcast VGA box was missing any photos showing Sega's adaptor. I went there and added photos of mine and also added some extra information. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamca...

I purchased this Neo Geo 4 slot arcade (a.k.a. The Big Red) from a Pizza place last year (somehow made it fit inside of a Subaru Outback). I can say for sure that those raster arcade games do look better in a CRT screen and play so much better with real arcade sticks.

I recently got an original Sega VGA box to connect it to a PC Monitor. Photos don't do justice how good it looks. The Dreamcast was so far ahead of its time!

Three Sony PVMs, one Mitsubishi Diamondtron monitor, two period correct magnetically shielded Sony speakers, a RGB modded 1 Chip SNES fully recapped, Retrovision component cables, tested and calibrated: Now I can finally play Super Mario World!

Video: How Los Angeles Police Officers Broke Protocols and Injured Protesters

A Times analysis of videos and interviews with police, protesters and legal experts found that officers misused 40-mm sponge rounds at immigration-raid protests.

This is what ICE is

"They took me from there, they loaded me up, and they took me to the cemetery that is all the way up Boylston Street," Reyes said in Spanish.

There, he said he was attacked by officers who shouted obscenities at him.

"When we got to the top of the cemetery, we stopped there and they took off their vests because that's where they have the camera," he said. "Then they pulled me out of the car and kicked me."

Reyes says that after repeatedly asking them to check his wallet, one of the officers finally did so. They realized he did, in fact, have his green card, but questioned whether it was real.

"'I don't know, maybe it's fake' … The other guy says, 'No, it's real' … That's when they finally stopped," he said. "They were planning to keep hitting me because they didn't have good intentions. They took me to a cemetery."

Even so, the threats continued.

"Do you think you're a big shot just because you have a green card? I'll make sure they revoke that green card of yours," Reyes said, recalling what agents told him. "'I'm going to do everything I can to get this paper revoked,' an immigration officer told me."

A man with a green card said ICE agents arrested him in #Lynn, Mass then took him to a detention facility—but first made a detour to a cemetery, where they took him out of their vehicle and beat him. #mapoli #Massachusetts

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Here is the state of law in the USA: "The judge, the prosecutor, the sheriff and the jail are basically all throwing their hands up and saying, ‘ICE told us to hold him, so we’re going to keep holding him,’ even though no one disagrees with the fact that he’s a citizen." www.cnn.com/2025/04/17/u...
