At long last, Polymega System Software Update v1.1.32 will be releasing any day now, and with that news comes some great new features that we’ve been hard at work on for the last few months that we want to share with you.
Introducing Polymega Collection
Polymega Collection is an ongoing series of important classic and contemporary games on physical media, playable exclusively on Polymega. Our editions include the original title game, its international releases, as well as additional examples of games that influenced the work and those which were eventually inspired by it.
Each release includes one or more discs that are compatible with Polymega. The first is the primary game, in DVD format. Additionally, some releases include bonus game discs that can be played on original game consoles, as well. Each release is region free, and will work on Polymega regardless of where you are or what language you speak.
Unlike most modern game releases, Polymega Collection games include carefully crafted visual companions, reversible slip covers, obi-spines for international collectors, and more. And, exclusively for early adopters, a limited edition Polymega Collection pin is included with each release!
The best thing about Polymega Collection is that in many cases, we’re bringing games to Polymega that would be otherwise unplayable using an element module, such as arcade games. Of course, we’re also providing support for several new systems that might not otherwise be compatible with Polymega.
Immerse Yourself in Lifelike Arcade Action
Built exclusively for Polymega Collection games, Immersive Mode gives you a brand new way to play games on Polymega that draws you into the action like never before. Starting a Polymega Collection Arcade game gives you a view that realistically presents the arcade machine as if you were standing in front of it, fully playable.
From here you can enter the virtual display controls, and adjust your view to zoom out to see more of the machine, or even rotate your view and monitor so that you can see the arcade machine in its upright entirety, perfect for vertical shooters and other games you’re sure to want to play as you build your Polymega Collection Library.
We’re working with some of the best game publishers from across the console gaming landscape and have dozens of games in production for the coming months. The best news? The first two Polymega Collection games, ASTEROIDS and KARATE CHAMP are available for purchase today and will ship within the next week. Check out the new Games section of Polymega.com to see whats on offer.
Also coming in System Software Update 1.1.32
New and Improved Virtual Display filters with multi-depth scanline modes, an improved Composite filter, and new RF and Black & White modes.
Hundreds of new Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 games have been added to the Polymega database to get you ready for the release of the upcoming Atari Pro Module (details coming soon).
Ability to permanently restore most of the original PM01 pack-in games that were removed in a previous update.
Bug fixes for latency issues, unwanted noise effects, and more!
