Which is why it would be nice if there was a tag they could choose to indicate that yes, their game does in fact work on original hardware.

And they don’t indicate that the game with the “PS1” tag, for instance, actually runs on a PS1. Hence my post.

Not sure if this is still monitored, but it'd be good to have a "ROM" or "original hardware" tag that indicates that the game actually runs on a retro system, rather than just adopting its general aesthetic.

Seriously, I've searched all the forums that are open here and I can't find a single argument against. Where is this huge flamewar you're talking about?

You can't just drop that in and not explain it. Who on earth would object to it? Or at least, could you point me to a thread where the argument has occurred?

Hi all,

I love that there are so many PSX-inspired games these days, but it'd be nice if I could filter and see the ones that run on an actual PlayStation. Ditto for Gameboy games, etc. Is there any way to do this? If not... why not? It's a pretty important distinction, IMO. A "ROM" tag would do it, I think.

Cheers!

I've completed it, it's definitely not unbeatable ;)

I found the ROM online somewhere and fell in love - the soundtrack is as good as anything else on the system, and it's just a perfect little game. Happy to find it on itch to send some money.


One little thing for anyone who is having controller issues on real hardware, it probably isn't the game's fault - I'm using a Retrobit 6-button wireless pad, and I also had issues during the password screen on Red Zone. The Retrobit MD receiver needs flashing with the latest firmware, this fixed both problems.
