    SCHEDA NEW PLATINUM PI4 EDITION La seguente lista elenca la maggior parte dei titoli emulati dalla scheda NEW PLATINUM Pi4 (20.000). - I giochi per computer (Amiga, Commodore, Pc, etc) richiedono una tastiera per computer e talvolta un mouse USB da collegare alla console (in quanto tali sistemi funzionavano con mouse e tastiera). - I giochi che richiedono spinner (es. Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

  • Classic Gaming Expo 2005 !! ! Wow
    San Francisco, California August 20-21, 2005 $5.00 Welcome to Classic Gaming Expo 2005 !! ! Wow .... eight years! It's truly amazing to think that we 've been doing this show, and trying to come up with a fresh introduction for this program, for eight years now. Many things have changed over the years - not the least of which has been ourselves. Eight years ago John was a cable splicer for the New York phone company, which was then called NYNEX, and was happily and peacefully married to his wife Beverly who had no idea what she was in for over the next eight years. Today, John's still married to Beverly though not quite as peacefully with the addition of two sons to his family. He's also in a supervisory position with Verizon - the new New York phone company. At the time of our first show, Sean was seven years into a thirteen-year stint with a convenience store he owned in Chicago. He was married to Melissa and they had two daughters. Eight years later, Sean has sold the convenience store and opened a videogame store - something of a life-long dream (or was that a nightmare?) Sean 's family has doubled in size and now consists of fou r daughters. Joe and Liz have probably had the fewest changes in their lives over the years but that's about to change . Joe has been working for a firm that manages and maintains database software for pharmaceutical companies for the past twenty-some years. While there haven 't been any additions to their family, Joe is about to leave his job and pursue his dream of owning his own business - and what would be more appropriate than a videogame store for someone who's life has been devoted to collecting both the games themselves and information about them for at least as many years? Despite these changes in our lives we once again find ourselves gathering to pay tribute to an industry for which our admiration will never change .

  • Intro by the Admin
    The Sierra Chest Newsletter: Issue 4, August 2009 Intro by the admin Dear Sierra fans, The Sierra Chest got some structural upgrades last month. We started running a bit out of space, so it’s been upgraded to 150MB now, though it looks like we’ll have to double it again soon. Although the videos are outsourced to the Sierra Chest’s Youtube channel, an increasing number of images have been uploaded. With the increased space, we’ve been uploading a whole bunch of box arts. The box arts for all 250 games in the database should be uploaded by the end of this month. We have also received some emails, asking why certain games are not covered in the Sierra Chest. No worries, we are well aware of that. In fact, not even half of all Sierra games are in it yet. Those guys made a LOT. We just prefer to first fill up the pages of the games that are inserted at this point. Takes a while to fill it up, but we have received an increasing number of contributors, mostly from people offering to have their videos embedded on the site, which we of course gladly do. Aside from the increased space, we have also made some changes on the “general” page of each game. Instead of now having just 1 page, we inserted a filter where the user can chose between “general description”, “making of”, “box art”, “trailers”, “credits” and more, depending on what is available for each game. That makes the “general“page more user-friendly since you can immediately see what is available without having to scroll down all the time.
