SNES: Official F1 Cartoon Animal Kart Racer (p7uen.neocities.org)

The link is a deep dive retrospecitve, but in summary despite being a lifelong Mario Kart and F1 fan I had never heard of this game.

I absolutely love it, the racing is very enjoyable if you don't expect powersliding style racing like Super Mario Kart.

It's my new favourite 'pure' racing game on the SNES, I much prefer it to any of the top down or left-right games like Top Gear (and I'm a fan of Top Gear!).

retroarch not importing games on linux (lemmy.ml)

Using Ubuntu 22.04, installed retroarch and trying to import games.

Files are in zip format (also tried unzipped) and for whatever reason, retroarch refuses to import them.

I can manually select and play games but no systems show up.

Anybody ever experience something like this on Linux?

I've tried flatpak, appimg, regular install. Same results every time.

I use no-into sets.

Edit: just as a side note, I can import the same games on a Windows machine just fine.

Which retro games have never been outdone? (lemmy.zip)

We all love retro games but let's face it: Objectively some modern games are simply better. For example I'd argue that Pokémon Crystal is brilliant and one of the best GBC games but BW and BW2 are simply better in pretty much every way.

However the opposite can also be true. Which retro games are just better than their newer equivalents?
