Choplifter for the SMS Set the wayback machine to the early ’80s. While we had recently gotten our first home computer, the Commodore VIC-20, my cousins had been enjoying the Apple II system that my uncle used for writing sermons and the like.

Even though I’m in the land of PC hardware now, I wrote about all things PlayStation for a chunk of my early career. As such, I could not resist the siren song of this hardware project that brings the original PlayStation 1 bang up to date. HDMI output, USB power, wireless controllers: it’s all here…

Trios mode is fairly reliably violent, and you’ll occasionally get popped by people like Fraser, but in solos mode most players are, unexpectedly, quite cooperative.
