Good news for anyone who can't get their hands on a PS5 yet.

Sony to offer free Horizon Forbidden West PS4 to PS5 upgrade after criticism

Sony faced widespread criticism over a broken promise.

I was just coming in to remind everyone to not buy the PS5 version of the game even if you have a PS5. Save yourself the $10 and buy the PS4 version since it upgrades to PS5 for free.

What was the Game Boy competitor back in the 90's? I thought sony made it but the PSP didn't come along until like 2003.

I remember something when I was in Grade School, 4th or 5th grade maybe. So around mid to late 90's.

Also, remember the PSP VITA, which went the way of the Virtual Boy? Poor sales and discontinued very quickly?

The PSP VITA failed because there were not games for it. The Game studios dropped support for it relatively quickly after it was discovered it could easily be hacked and games pirated.

Maybe. I could have been something that came after this though.

Nope, like the PSP, that was 2000s

I'm talking about 96 or 97. The Game Gear did last through 1997 though.

The only other thing I can remember was the TurboExpress, the handheld for the NEC Turbo Graphics, that came out early 90's I believe.

There was the Sega Nomad but I don't think I ever saw anybody with one.

 

[Delta Don]

Anyone played Banjoe on switch online ?

Curious if it’s same version from rare replay on Xbox

Nomad rings a bell. I actually think it was this.

I still have mine and my game boy and a few others.

 

[RenegadeMonster]

I still have mine and my game boy and a few others.

I still have an original 1989 Gameboy, Gameboy Color and a Gameboy Advance. All in worker order. Never had another one until the Switch last year if you consider it part of the family.

The screen on the original Gameboy has some yellowing though. I wonder if there are any remedies for that. Still works great though.

My GameShark though does not. I think the contacts corroded on it. Games are all corrupted when I try to use it.

I thought it was so cool back in the day to hack game boy games and get stuff like a Mew in Pokemon.
