Magician Lord makes sense as a reissue. It was the more popular pack in game with the original console and a title that potential customers will want.
Magician Lord is ADK's Ghosts and Goblins and has amazing art (for an early Geo game), enemy design, cool music, tight controls, etc. and it's the right amount of frustrating fun a real arcade title needs. I still don't understand how people are so dismissive of it.

100% I can attest the music especially that first stage is exceptional.

Magician Lord is iconic period. Why it made the first cut.

Honestly whatever an adult man buys with their own cash is their own business. I’m excited to get some games I missed out on physical copies for at a sane price first time round, because I was a child in the 90s.

If I already had spent the sort of money on official AES homecarts that could have gotten me into home ownership years earlier, and then realised that was retarded because they are now available for £70 a pop, and the inflated value of my original AES games could now be negatively impacted by these rereleases, then perhaps I would have a chip on my shoulder like a Rolex wearing Goob.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves
25yrs we've been here and you're just throwing the whole reason the system exists away like you never understood it in the first place

I don't even know who you are anymore
Enjoy your replica

I'll probably regret asking...

But, please tell us "the whole reason the system exists."

Probably something about the exclusivity of the system catering to the elite discerning consumer.

Which is probably why the original SNK went bankrupt, and why Plaion will actually make some money.

And yeah don’t take this old queen too seriously.
