• March 2013 - DCEmu Turns 9 Years Old and Still Going Strong

    Its Now March 2013 and DCEmu the Homebrew & Gaming Network is now 9 Years old. I actually started the sites back in 2002 but joined them under the DCEmu name back in 2004 when the site was foremost a Dreamcast Site, since then we have expanded and cover all homebrew scenes as new consoles come into play. To make sure the site gets back to what it does best i have merged the discussion forums and unmerged all the news forums, which for everyone makes for a better reading experiance, no one wants to search for PS2 news on a PS3 merged news forum because it takes ages to find it. Also this month we have launched new sites for PS4, GCW Zero and also an Open Source Handhelds website. Thanks for visiting DCEmu and please join in the discussion and remember if you are a coder then you can upload to our forum instead of using crappy internet upload sites.

    US magazine Time has named its all-time best 100 video games – and as you’d imagine there are some expected and definitely not as expected inclusions.
    It divides its list into decades. The 1970s, for instance, includes obvious contenders such as arcade smash-hit Space Invaders and tennis sim Pong, as well as lesser known title Hunt the Wumpus.
    The 1980s is more familiar with cult titles such as Pac-Man, Defender, Donky Kong, Paperboy, Super Mario Bros, Teris, The Legend of Zelda, Outrun and Prince of Persia.
    The 1990s reflects the transition into modern gaming and includes the likes of Street Fighter II, Sonic the Hedgehog, SimCity 2000, Myst, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Goldeneye 007, Thief, Resident Evil and Quake.
    The 2000s offer a more eclectic mix of contemporary names such as Deus Ex, Katamari Damacy, Angry Birds, Knights of the Old Republic, Flower, Counter-Strike, Animal Crossing, Ico, Rez, Okami, Wii Sports, Modern Warfare, Braid and Demon’s Souls.
    Only two post-2010 titles make the cut – Batman: Arkham City and Mass Effect 3. No Skyrim? No Journey? No Black Ops Declassified? Oh yes, that’s right.
    You can see the full list here.
