[ad_1] The Genesis machine includes snippets from better-known games like Golden Axe, Out Run and Space Harrier. The Taito kit, meanwhile, is more about deep cuts — there’s recognizable titles like Darius, but you might not be as familiar with titles like Kikikaikai or Metal Black.

Watch VW’s electric race car smash a 20-year-old Goodwood record
[ad_1] The trick, as you might imagine, was to save weight. Unlike the Pikes Peak variant, the ID.R at Goodwood was optimized for a “sprint” — it carried a smaller battery pack tuned for a brief but fierce assault up the 1.16-mile hill. There won’t be too many complaints given that an F1 car set […]
Capcom’s ‘Teppen’ card game pits Chun-Li against Dante
[ad_1] There is a slight twist to the familiar formula of these games. Teppen uses an Active Response system that adds a dash of real-time thrills to the usual turn-based gameplay — you might not have long to think about your next move. The game is technically free to play. Like so many of its […]
Beat ’em up revival ‘River City Girls’ arrives September 5th
[ad_1] It’s handled in a suitably retro style, although it’s thankfully not hewing too closely to the blocky NES original apart from “guest appearances” by River City veterans.

‘Doctor Who’ might finally get a game that does it justice

Blipblox is a synth made for kids that adults will like too
[ad_1] Under the hood is a surprisingly robust digital synth engine capable of producing rich and downright bonkers sounds. In addition to the oscillator there’s your usual assortment of synth parameters. There’s an amp envelope (though you can only control over the decay), a pair of LFOs, a modulation envelope and a low-pass filter that […]
Tiny ‘walking’ motor could help robots build other robots
[ad_1] It’s powerful, too. The initial design can lift seven times its own weight, but you can add more components for extra strength or to handle complex movements. And notably, you can scale the size of the parts to tackle very large or very tiny projects. Until now, you typically needed specialized methods to make […]
Five ‘Star Trek’ movies come to Amazon Prime on July 31st

NASA’s TESS spacecraft discovers its smallest exoplanet to date
[ad_1] TESS spotted the planets by using transits (regular dips in the star’s brightness caused by passing planets). You might get more information soon, at least. TESS completes its first year of studies in July, and that could be enough to both collect more detail about the known planets and possibly spot more. This isn’t […]
