Rich Stanton, a retro-gaming enthusiast from PC Gamer, praised the upcoming release of Terminator 2D: No Fate as "the best Terminator game since the Genesis."

The Collector's Edition will include a Steelbook case, collector's tin, art book, flipbook, and a "premium metal paperweight," priced at [openai_gpt model="gpt-4o-mini" prompt="Summarize the content and extract only the fact described in the text bellow. The summary shall NOT include a title, introduction and conclusion. Text: Rich Stanton, a noted retro-gaming enthusiast from PC Gamer, expressed his admiration for the upcoming release of Terminator 2D: No Fate, describing it as "the best Terminator game since the Genesis." His excitement, however, has been tempered by recent news from publisher Reef Entertainment, which announced a delay in the game's launch. Release Date Postponed The anticipated release date, initially set for October 31, has now been pushed back to November 26. The reason for this shift is attributed to ongoing global financial instability, a factor that has impacted various sectors, including the gaming industry. The Terminator 2D: No Fate Collector's Edition promises to be an enticing package for collectors, featuring a Steelbook case, collector's tin, art book, flipbook, and a "premium metal paperweight," among other items. For those who relish the idea of owning a unique piece of gaming memorabilia, the 0 price tag may seem justifiable. Interestingly, the Collector's Edition will not be available for PC, a decision that seems somewhat ironic given that PC gamers are often the most willing to invest in high-quality game packaging. However, this does not preclude the possibility of purchasing the PS5 version and later acquiring the game on Steam separately, a practice that some gamers might find themselves engaging in. In summary, while Rich Stanton and many others eagerly await the arrival of Terminator 2D: No Fate, the current state of affairs necessitates a bit more patience.

The Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre hosted Collect Fest, an event featuring various collectibles, primarily modded Nintendo handhelds like GameBoys and DS units, which were popular among attendees. The modded handhelds were enhanced with OLED screens and sold for prices ranging from 0 to 0. A notable absence at the event was PC gaming hardware, which left some attendees disappointed. Stallholders indicated low demand and high costs as reasons for the minimal presence of PC gear, with most PC games being accessible through digital downloads.

A chance conversation with a retro game store owner forever changed my views on emulation

The owner of a retro game store is not opposed to emulation and believes it has had a positive impact on retro gaming by helping people discover games they otherwise would not have played. Many customers of the store also emulate games, even those they purchase from the store, as it offers benefits like save states and improved framerates. Emulation has actually grown the owner's market as it creates a steady pipeline of people interested in retro games, leading them to collect physical games and memorabilia from the store. The owner emphasizes that the most important thing is to enjoy games, whether through original systems or emulation.
