Not really.

A couple of models did, in theory, but they were very prone to YLOD so I dunno how many are still around, and there was a pretty extensive list of games it didn't work on anyway. And the official lists aren't even as comprehensive as they should be (eg, Tales of the Abyss has a glitch on BC PS3 that makes progress past roughly 7 hours impossible, but since it actually boots, they didn't count it).

It's better not to count on this.

Yeah, I still remember being disappointed about that when I bought my PS3 because I'd read somewhere that they could play PS2 games, but I didn't know there were various different PS3 models and that the backward compatible one was no longer a thing by that point. I tried to pop in a PS2 game and got a "NOPE LOL SUCKS TO BE YOU" screen.

I guess it was my fault for not reading up a little more on it before I dropped north of $300 on it, but backward compatibility was something I really wanted because I had a good sized collection of PS2 games and was kinda hoping to put the PS2 in storage. No such luck though.

from what I heard the main problem with simon quest was the translation , I heard some fans went and made their own translation of the game and the npc had actual usefull dialogues that told you where to go and what to do.

In a metrovania type of game a translation isn’t that important

Depend , but its can make the difference between figuring out yourself where to go or having to use a guide for it if everyone say thing like ... "nice day for fishing" instead of where to find important keys items or hints like where to stand for 3 seconds to have that magic tornado teleport you.

If the game is in english instead of my mother language i wouldn’t mind

There is an abundance of classic titles in this.

I'd like to see a "Commodore Collection" too, although you can get the "Cinemaware Anthology" on Steam, which was kinda a "top stuff" company for Commodore systems back then.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/326590/Cinemaware_Anthology_19861991/

the collection was once sold in a form of a joystick and maybe a mini C64 keyboard containing nearly all C64 games from the past.

I don't know if bootleg and national adaption of games were in cause I'm aware that some of them had multiple titles.

Didn’t grew up with the commodore but i may check it out
