Well everybody, unlike the issues of ROM built around interviews with brilliant people doing brilliant things in the emulation scene, I can't say this week's topic was the result of long-term planning on my part. It happened as a result of me spending yesterday thinking about what I should write about, and getting madder and madder the more I looked at the existing coverage of the newly announced Neo Geo+.It's a cool piece of kit, no doubt. I'm not mad about that. I'm mad about what was going unsaid about SNK's owners in pretty much every bit of coverage, and I was even madder about the tired, predictable arguments from those whining about experiencing even the mildest of criticism for jumping on the thing. So that's what this issue mostly ended up being about. If you just play some neat little games on your emulators and don't care much about the media — maybe skip on down to #2. This rant is less for you and more for the legion of retro YouTubers out there. Do they read newsletters?…
