Afterplay is the emulator to end all emulators. If you've never used it before, it's essentially like if RetroArch had been remade with Analogue's OS. It's super clean, allows you to access your games and save files from anywhere via your browser, lets you have multiple save files, and even has multiplayer functions. There's even a premium version that gives you options like translating Japanese games into English, though it is AI, and you know my thoughts on AI...
The newest feature, and perhaps the best one that Afterplay have released for the platform, is a store that allows gamers to purchase brand new indie games straight from the desktop program or browser, adding them to your collection and allowing you to play them straight away from a specific console emulator. You can even order physical copies in some cases too.
Afterplay now have games from Incube8 and Mega Cat Studios available for users to purchase, including a demo of Infinity that you can download and play. Considering Infinity seems to have been in production for most of our lives in one form or another, it's nice to keep seeing work on it happening, and that it's still being advertised on prolific platforms like this one.
It's nice to see GBA Jam games like Discrete Orange on here too, as well as new games for the Sega Genesis and GBC. It feels a little like ModRetro bringing new games to the fold for the Chromatic, except there are new games for multiple platforms all for sale and immediately ready to play in one place.
Head to the Afterplay store to check out what's available and to start building a collection that you can access from anywhere via your browser. More titles and studios will be added to the fold soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
