    Ffmpeg devs are in it for the love of the game:

    Patch added to support sanm codec31/c332 decoding as used on the Sega-CD release of Rebel Assault 1 from 1993.

    FFmpeg aims to play every video file ever made. —-

    Missed opportunity by not shooting 4:3 and putting black bars on the side.

    Does harken back to the us vs them and brand loyalty computers inspired in their users in 80s and 90s

    I remember that a rollon deoderant ball was used in the prototype:

    I understand that Harvey Dean and David Kelly took the prototype to refine it into what actually shipped.

    Defender/Stargate, Robotron, and Joust have some of the most distictive sounds in gaming history. I can still close my eyes and recall unique sounds from each of them some 40 years on from my first playing them.

      Defender is my game. It's the one I played over and over in the arcades. One day I hope I can get an original cabinet in my home.

    If the crowd funding rates of their other projects are an indicator this has a good bet to be good.

      And it is a hopeful sign that it is going to be open-source.
