PPR Presents Limelight: Viewpoint 2064

Lost media is so weird, like, somewhere out there, in some random room or shelf, is something that’s complete and ready for public consumption, or a piece of what could have been, like a reel of test footage for costume demos for Tim Burton’s cancelled Superman film, with Nicholas Cage donning the cape of all people, and Burton doing his best to pose him like a dollar-store Johnny Depp going to his local comic con.

There are so many weird projects like this that have just fallen through the cracks, and are only now getting a second-hand lease on life through the aftermarket preservation efforts of the internet at large, and today, we’re going to stream one of those efforts for y’all:

The master build of Viewpoint 2064, the long-lost sequel to Sammy’s sole release on the Neo•Geo, only now for the Nintendo 64, has now been found and dumped for everyone to check out, and Georgie is going to try to take y’all through the ambitious vaporware shooter.

Be sure to tune in to our Twitch and YouTube channels at 7:00 PM PST on 12/04/2025 to watch an unreleased video game from the studio that brought us Snowboard Kids and Trap Gunner! You can check out the streams here or directly on our Twitch and YouTube channels, and vibe along with us as we work towards ushering in a new age of Limelight for y'all!

PPR Presents Limelight: Atomiswave Dreamcast Ports

o we totally know there’s a lot of hype for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, and they’re currently the biggest deals in video games right now, but what if we told y’all that there was another big deal happening in the gaming scene right now—one that involved another household name in consoles…

Hacker alias MegaVolt85 from the Dreamcast-Talk Forum has taken it upon himself to convert all twenty-seven titles released for Sammy’s short-lived Arcade Haardware line, the Atomiswave. After some extensive review of the Coin-ops internal workings, it would seem that the system’s architecture is nearly identical to that of Sega’s 128-bit icon, making it possible to reformat the coding of these titles to natively run on the Dreamcast.

Yes you read that right, these games aren’t being emulated or ported, they are conversions that’re running natively on Dreamcast hardware—shit’s wild ain’t it?

Join us on Saturday, November 21st, at 7:00 PM Pacific at twitch.tv/presspauseradio as my girlfriend, Val, and I hit up the first  ten conversions made available so far. Games like Metal Slug 6, King of Fighters XI, Dolphine Blue, Faster than Speed, King of Fighters Neo Wave, Samurai Showdown VI, Demolish Fist, Maximum Speed, Knights of Valour: The Seven Spirits, and Fist of The NorthStar.
