Yesterday I played splatterhouse on emu. Now I really want the cart because I'm hooked ;D What's the average price of a loose cart ? ???
I've seen them sell for about $20-25 shipped at their lowest, coming from Japan. Sometimes US sellers have them, and in that case the price will go down some because of cheaper shipping. You might want to try Pink Godzilla through Google or 16-bit on eBay for US sellers who usually have a copy.
I bought mine loose BIN at 16-bit's for $19.99 It's a fucking AWESOME game and so worth the price.

Final Fantasy V (GBA)
Banana Prince ( NES )
It's a shame, that this game never was released outside Germany. ( except Japan, of course ) And, only on German language. Nice lookin' minigames and everythin, but try to figure them out, if you're not German....
A nice 2D platformer, anyways.
I've owed Banana Prince for over two months and have yet to play it. So stupid, I know.
I wonder: Would it be true to say that every game released for the NES was also released for the Famicom? I can't think of any that weren't...maybe something obscure like Cheetahmen II.

I just played Twilight Princess for a few minutes (my sister bought it). Very nice. ;D
I'm really into Wii Sports tennis and bowling. I have Zelda also but I usually only play that on weekends cause I get sucked in. I started playing at like 11 last Friday and the next thing I knew the sun was coming up
I'm still hooked on Animal Crossing. I'm usually playing that, or swearing at my Famicom as I play SMB2.

No, but either saying you played the whole EA Sports lineup including every roster change or clocking in at least 5 weeks of World of Warcraft will get you a warning though.
Good, I don't think I'll be a problem for you guys, then.
That said, if that's the criteria, this is my favorite forum ever.

Yeah hopefully we'll end up with a good spot on the playoffs at least #2 or #3 seeds to have a nice run. Wade should be back in like 4 more weeks. Also, last game I played still is nba 06

#2 or #3 doesn't sound plausible to me, personally. I feel they'll get the 4th seed and face Chicago at the 5th seed. Now THAT ought to be interesting...

Super Metroid
I think I'm getting about ready to buy & revisit this game. I haven't actually played it myself, but I've seen it played & beaten.
I finished it the other night, clocking in at 3:04 (would've been less if I was able to remember certain parts), and collecting 68% of the items.
Super Princess Peach. (DS)
It's a bit (too) easy, but fun nonetheless.

It's REALLY easy. In fact, the only part where it took me more than a few minutes to get it was the final Bowzer battle. Other than that, I really like it.
Need For Speed Most Wanted - PS2 - Today I feel like I can drive a great car evading cops and destroying the city.
Life Force (NES). Tough.
Played a little Star Fox 64, then started up Metroid 2: Return of Samus.

DARN good. The level designs are perfect, and it's probably the most intentionally funny game I've ever played.
On the other hand, everyone here needs to stay away from Medal of Honor Vanguard on the Wii. Sheer crap. Good thing it's only mine until Thursday.
snes emu for ps2
What SNES emulator do you use on the PS2? Can you recommend me one?
Played "Super Mario Bros 2" again after a long time. It's fun from time to time.
Gears of War. XB360. I never, never, never play anything but 8-bit, but I actually enjoyed this one. The graphics are stunning.
Super Mario Bros.
Beated it in 6 minutes. ;D
Did you time yourself?
mario bros (mr. mary) LOL again
Quote from: Jedi QuestMaster on April 27, 2007, 08:04:59 pm
Did you time yourself?
Yes. The world record is about 5 min. 14 seconds. I will NEVER ever beat that time, but I think I'm pretty quick nonetheless.
Was it done on an actual NES or was it one of those TAS cheaters. :P
The Assisted Speedrun record is even faster. It's written in wikipedia, somewhere in the "Super Mario Bros." page.
Last game I've played (and bought, about an hour ago) is Strider for the NES.
Breath of Fire III (Playstation)
grandia 3. I'm going to try and finish this game finally!!
I've finished Strider... man that was easy.
Cool, man. I haven't finished a game, other than Bubble Bobble, in years. :P Get bored too quickly, I guess.
I found the final stage of Strider to be quite the gauntlet; speaking of Gauntlet - is it true that Gauntlet II never ends... I don't have the perseverance to find out.
In the arcades? Nope. It never stops. Dunno about home versions, though.
Gauntlet I ended on console, but it seems like II goes on infinitely.

I was talking about the NES version by the way. The last stage is very easy, once you figure it out.
Yes, the NES - I went through the whole stage to be cheaply killed by that person before the final boss a few times, then I beat him by standing in the corner & charging up the Cipher.
Medal of Honor (Wii). Terrible graphics, but I kicked my little bro's ass at death match, so it was cool. :) But his friend kicked mine. :-\
You liked it? I couldn't get past the abysmal aiming. Did you try CoD3 on Wii?
I haven't tried that one.
I found Medal of Honor to be poorly executed overall -- graphics, extent of levels, usefulness of weapons -- but I thoroughly enjoyed the controls, though a bit difficult to get used to. Once I steadied my aim, I kicked ass. 8) My little bro's a pro at the Halos, so this win provides me with a rare opportunity to rub it in. ;D

Exactly... He attacks you like a fucking madman all the time, but when you charge up the Cypher, he just stands right in front of you like a dumbass...
Oh, and I've bought Pro Wrestling! Finally!!!
A winner is fucking me... But, for some reason, when I win, the game says "Winner is You" with no "A"... I guess some cartridges are different.

Really? I'm impressed. Maybe it's just me, but I felt the aiming was horrifically stiff, and the turning box is too damn big.
You've gotta keep me in perspective. I don't usually play anything other than NES/Famicom, so my perspective is skewed. But, yeah...I love the Wii's controls. They're always very fun.
Oh yeah. I dabbled about with the Wii Spider-Man 3 today, and although it's graphically pretty bad (horrid framerate) the controls are a lot of fun when you get the hang of it.
Get it? Hang? Like...from a web? See what I did there? ;D

Awesome movie & awesome game! I think... ??? I've only played the NES version, the SNES has some differences (in the good), right?
You know, I haven't played the NES version of the game since it came out (which places me at 5 years old or so) but I remember enjoying the SNES version more. Darn fine game, no matter how you cut it. Anyone play the Genesis version? It's a lot of fun, too, but really hard.
"Puzzle Series: Slither Link" (DS)

Wow didn't know that was out. I remember when I played the first one in my old pentium 75mhz and I had to put the screen resolution to the smallest size so I would be able to play it at normal speed lol ahh great memories.

Why did they change the music? :'(
That whole game itself got a makeover in that version...
Well the music wasn't that bad but the original is still my favorite. The GBC one does have voice like when you get the wind sword it'll say "you got wind sword" or something lol

The last game I played was Dead Rising for the Xbox360, there's so much to do in that game. I maxed out my level at 50, so I can disembowel, German Supplex, Body Press, and face crusher zombies. Also, one of the acheivements is to kill 53,997 zombies (or some stupid rediculous high number) And you get a Megaman Blaster. It's a pretty good game, think GTA, but in a mall, without stealing cars, and killing zombies, there's so much replay value. I think there's 4 or 5 different endings too. You can save people as well, and the achievements are great.
Pokemon Pearl
I started Phantom Hourglass yesterday. Very good game. :)
Resident Evil 4 (PS2). Good so far, and it's somewhat of a break from blood thirsty zombies.

One of the best games I've played so far on the PS2. A little tough at times, but it was great. By the way, I finished the game this evening.
Play it through again. You can now buy this tommy-gun looking thing that just destroys everything, fun as hell.
I'm currently playing God Hand again, quite possibly the 2nd best game for PS2.
Read the novel Rashomon (Akutagawa Ryunosuke) in "Ichido wa yonde okitai nihon bungaku 100sen" (DS).
Guitar Hero or something like that. You all probably know better. It's got that little plastic guitar with it. Anyway, the game freaking sucks. Too many buttons to push. (You can tell I'm stuck in the 8-bit era.)

I find that game just great! Maybe that's because I play the guitar and I like some of the songs in it. But Guitar Hero 2 is better than the first though. :)

I like it. :D
I saw a video of that game and found the kangaroo so cute that I had to buy the game. It's a pretty generic platformer without any new ideas, but a pretty solid title as such. If you find it for cheap (10$ or less) it's surely worth the pick up.

I finally bought some component cables for my ps2 and started up Shadow of the Colossus again. It was worth waiting for a proper setup to play this game (well, proper minus a good surround sound system). Totally epic.
I played Bubble Bobble and Gradius 2 today. Beat Gradius 2 oh and also I played power blade pirate cart, that game plays pretty kewl too so it might be on my next to beat list.

This is the one where they fight other guys in a 2 on 2 match until you reach the guys wearing the tiger masks. It was a very challenging game at the end.

I think 2 had the smoothest control of them all. I'm a fan of 4 and Black as well. Played 4 recently, too.

Pretty much like the arcade version. I'm liking it so far. Many paths to chose from on each level, and when you're done, you get to upload your score onto the Nintendo Wi-Fi rankings. My world ranking was somewhere above 25,000th place.

I also did some GameShark code generating for the JP version of Super Mario 64 since there are no sites with GS/AR codes for import games that I can find and I don't own the USA version. Generating your own codes is always more fun anyways! I'm getting pretty good at it to!

I started over the other day, only because I don't remember where I was at.

I didn't know part 2 came out. Are they for PS2? The other day I saw this Genesis collection for the PSP which brings over 40 games. Is that any good?
part 2 has more fighters. knights of the round
magic sword
captain commando (arcade perfect 8)
varth and so on (varth is a shooter btw
its both on ps 2
with that 2 discs, gaming becomes never boring
also because everything is arcade perfect, but street fighter super turbo has lag. thats not so good

Awesome sounds like a lot of fun. I might pick one of those up. The last game I played was Xenosaga episode 2
I'm still playing Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. I'm trying to complete those damn 300 side missions! I love the game though. It is very nice! :D

Mario Kart Wii.
Why do I keep playing it even though it pisses me off so badly!? :(
Maybe because it's good? :D
Perhaps...
Also I was playing World Class Track Meet last night, followed by a round of Star Fox. Good times were had by all who were involved.
Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures. I missed this little game.
Played this on my GBA Micro:

Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii at my sister's place.
Wii Fit first told me I'm overweight. BMI = 25.01
Then in the first training unit I did 6 push-ups and scored 100 points ("muscle legend") ;D
It's a bit sad that the board thinks I weigh that much from fat, and not from muscles I've grown in the past year.

Wii Fit said my BMI = 19.2 (which is kinda low)
Then my "friend" made fun of me for being such a girl. Yet, I still outperformed him on everything! Oh yeah! :o
If it counts, I just finished up the Lego Indiana Jones demo. Pretty fun, even though it's kinda lame whenever you have to play as someone other than Indy. I might buy the 360 version when it comes out.
Tony Hawks Pro Skater for the N64
I was kind of playing, but mostly just code generating.
I generated a code to play as "Officer Dick" and a code to have 99 tapes.
Later on I am going to see if I can generate max combo codes and trick modifyer codes. The N64's GS code generator is sooo nice. :D

Wow, you are missing out then. The N64 was what I grew up on. Ahh, Ocarina of Time... (nostalgia is kicking in)
to me nostalgia is pirates and mario brothers 1 wekekekekeke I do plan on picking one up in the future but I'll get it as a lot with games.

It was nostalgic for me because I was seven at the time. Whenever you obtain an N64, make sure you get LOZ: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and/or Paper Mario. Those are classics in my book.
I've had a bunch of N64's. Right now I have 2 japanese ones, but I have also had 4 North american ones. :)

I've got an N64 and no games. My friend gave it to me with Mario 64, but I gave it to my brother. I only really want to play Mischief Makers again, so I keep an eye out for it at flea markets (found it for $15 loose a few weekends ago...too much).
I have a black one (I took it apart, I'm going to make a portable) a pikachu on (I play it) and a green one (It's green)
Total price, like $28USD. :D
Jump Ultimate Stars. I love the sheer size of the roster of characters, my favorite being Ichigo Kurosaki. I find it funny that there are so many people in the US who have the game.

Also, yes to the remake of Majora's Mask... Wind Waker was the best one though. ;)
^are you guys crazy? i love twilight princess and i love the wii version! :D
anyways last game i played opoona on wii
Oh Twilight Princess is still better than most games, but compared to other Zelda games is clocks in at mediocre.
TP is really a very good game, but it lacks a bit the "OH WOW" factor I got when I played Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker for the first time.

Me too! In fact I've been playing with a friend until the wee hours of the morning, and we're close to unlocking everything ;D!!
I have the PAL version, running at 60Hz in my modded 'cube. And yeah, I pwn w/Link too 8)
I like that weird guy, who is made of pieces, looks kinda like clay or wood or something :P
Oh, Metal Gear Solid 2 is just started to get weird, in Arsenal Gear.
Is there a difference between the PAL and NTSC-U versions? I mean content wise.
Scarface for Wii...this game is F*CKING AWESOME!!! :P loll seriously though it is pretty good but the graphics are average. Plays similar to GTA.
Quote from: son_ov_hades on June 19, 2008, 08:21:21 pm

I didn't notice any before, but a quick Googling revealed this:
QuoteSoul Calibur II isn't without its faults, but thankfully they're quite minor. We noticed some quite annoying bugs in the PAL version of the game, such as the mislabelling of several weapons in the Weapons Gallery section of the Museum - a small problem, certainly, but one that makes it quite difficult to gauge the strengths of certain weapons. You'll also want to turn the English voice acting off as soon as possible - some characters are quite well done, but the excessively squeaky Xianghua, the incredibly fake sounding pseudo-English accent of Ivy and the downright diabolical Kilik were enough to have us giving thanks for the option to switch the voices back into Japanese, which is fundamentally a far better language for shouting death threats at people anyway.
Gaming purists will be pleased to find a 60Hz mode in the title, alongside widescreen and surround sound options (available in various flavours in all of the three versions), while CG fans might be interested to know that the stunning opening movie was nominated for a Best Of Show award at a prestigious graphics convention earlier this year. Those concerned about the longevity of a beat 'em up will be pleased to note that the Weapons Master section of the game is not only huge, but also almost infinitely replayable, while beating your best times in the arcade mode is also a surprisingly addictive pastime. Oh, and those who owned NTSC versions of the game might be interested to hear that the AI in the PAL version is significantly overhauled, and now presents far more of a challenge, even on Easy difficulty, than the pathetically easy AI opponents in the Japanese and American versions, with massively improved blocking, timing and counter-attacking skills.
Source (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=53336)
I find it strange that a PAL version is superior to its NTSC counterpart, and I'm glad to have it 8).
Wow that's crazy. PAL versions are usually crap compared to the NTSC counterparts. Oh well, for $5 I'm not complaining.
Would you say Soul Caliber 2 is one of the best of the series, if not THE best?
Finally, unlocked everything at Soul Calibur II ;D ;D ;D !!!
I've invested about 50 hours into this game, totally worth it (http://usuarios.lycos.es/dogbert/img/Megaman-rock.gif)
Nice! It'll be awhile before I unlock everything.

Rad Racer, I suck so much at this game.
Rad Racer! One of my favorites from childhood. I always did really good at it, but my thumb always ended up really sore from pushing on the Up part of the pad for the "turbo" and then steering left & right.
I'm sure you know, but there is a pretty easy cheat code you can use to go to any race/level from the start of the game.
If you think Rad Racer is hard, try Rad Racer II. I can beat Rad Racer any day, but can barely get through the first race in Rad Racer II. :-\

Mine was MGS2 as well, I just scored a copy of MGS2: Substance for the PS2 from the GameStop I work at.
Either that or Team Fortress 2, I forget which I played last.
Substance? Cool.
I'm trying to find twin snakes, but it's hella asspensive.
Twin Snakes is great. It's everything that was great about MGS and nothing that was abd about it.
I know :(
I rented it once, but I was too young to understand what to do. A game where you dont kill everything? Crazy, I thought.
The original is great, I just got it, but It's annoying to not be able to hand off of edges, open lockers, and shoot/aim in first person.
Cracking necks is fun, though :P
My copy of Twin Snakes is autographed by Rob Paulsen, the voice actor. It's pretty rad.
Have I ever told you guys how much I like Metal Gear in general? I'm about to buy a PS3 just for MGS4.
I thought David Hayter is the voice actor.
I was thinking of buying one for just that reason. xD
I don't have $700, though
I'm gonna eventually buy a PS3 for MGS4 and Resident Evil 5.

Rob Paulsen played Grey Fox in Twin Snakes as the original actor was unavailable. David Hayter played Snake and Big Boss.
Cool.
How'd you get that?
I have Twin Snakes as well. I bought it when it was really cheap!
Every Metal Gear has very good voice actors. Without David Hayter, Snake just wouldn't be the same.
Poop :(
I wish I could find that at a garage sale.
I think I have the manual, though.
When I rented games, I'd take out the manual. Sometimes, I forgot to put it back xD

I've never played Subsistance, only the normal MGS3.
What's different about the camera? Is it inverted?
I like inverted. :D
Subsistance adds a very Splinter Cell-type of camera where you can pan it 360 degrees around Snake. Makes navigation and looking out for enemies worlds easier. And yes, it can be inverted.
Cool. :P
In MGS3, (have not played in forever) I'm stuck trying to kill Boss at the end.
Problem is, I saved during the battle, and I have no bullets for any guns. I wasted them all in the forest before it. :(

Smash TV, Street Fighter II, Police Trainer, Ms Pac Man. Hooray for arcades! (They also had Mercs, The Simpsons, TMNT, and the totally awesome 6-player 2-monitor X-Men).
Just finished Snake Eater today, and since I'm replaying all the Metal Gear Solid games chronologically, it's time for MGS1: Integral!
I say, the torture sequence in MGS1 almost made me break my controller. I did not give up though! I got the better ending because of it too.

I wish you could use the Bandana and Camo at the same time. :(
Yeah, I had that problem too. I was 10 the first time I beat MGS1, so I just gave up and got the Otacon ending. Never happened again, though.
Speaking of which, I officially began MGS1 again today. It still amazes me, even if it's a bit limited compared to 3.

My brother mistakenly decided to challenge me to a Guitar Hero battle over every game (except for GH-Aerosmith. Meh!)
I won every game by around ten percent more notes hit. He did kick my ass on "Cliffs of Dover", though :-[
Any GH players here? Do you guys have any favorite songs that yo think are the most fun to play?
I played I and II a lot. III just wasn't as fun for whatever reason, so I still haven't finished it. My favorite tracks from I are Sharp Dressed Man (ZZ Top), Higher Ground (RHCP), and that bonus song by Count Zero. Favorites from II are Stop (Jane's Addiction) and Jessica (Allman Brothers).
I didn't care for III very much, either. The song selections in I and II were much better (even if they weren't the original recordings). Even Rock's the 80's had a decent selection (even if they shortchanged you on quantity of songs, outfits, skins... what a rip off!)
I think Higher Ground was remade by RHCP and the original version was the one based on for GH I, though...but Suck My Kiss is unlockable through co-op mode on GH III
I personally hate those games.

Chex Quest - does that name mean anything to anyone here?
Yes it does ;).
I downloaded Chex Quest 1 and 2, supremely awsome!
I play them with DooMLegacy (well I play all my Doom WADs with it), It's got some pretty impressive graphical enhancements (transparency, lighting effects, etc) and I can blow up the resolution to my LCD's native one without it looking like crap ;D.
Yeah I'm playing it with DoomLegacy too.
Mega Man VII

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Akira (Famicom- ROM)

Soul Calibur IV (in-store PS3)
How is it? I loved all the previous ones.
Anyway, Resident Evil: Code Veronica.
If you liked the others, you'll like IV, too. Kilik rules. 8)
Is Sophitia in this one? She's always been my favorite character. I really wanna play as Darth Vader as well, I'm a huge Star Wars nerd.
Yes, I think I saw her.
Are Yoshimitsu and Voldo in it?
Favorite characters.
Voldo is fucking creepy!
Yeah, but he's pretty cool, with his crawling and flipping and stuff.
Heh, I love using that one move of Yoshimitsu's, "Hara-Kiri" or whatever that is called.
Those are in, too.
Voldo looked better in SC2, though IMHO.
I just got a PS3 today and I'm finally embarking on MGS4. It's pretty good so far.
Okami. (Wii)
Best. Game. Ever. ;D
...in my opinion
I biked to rental place yesterday, Looking for that game.
They did not have it. OR No More Heroes.
So I got Resident Evil 4 instead, which is the last game I played.

Alfred chicken was a fun game :P
I played 3D Hot rally for the FDS.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (Wii)
That game is already out?
Is it any good?
It's okay. I haven't played enough of it to give a recommendation or not. It's fair to say I haven't been blown away in the first hour of playing it.
Started another game of Oblivion. Made another Redguard, I love being those guys.

ET
E.T.? Did you lose a bet or something?
Had too many drinks? First sign of masochism?
HAhahah a bet? hilarious. E.T. isn't that bad. The holes aren't that bad. Use strategy!! ???
Haha no, I love ET! I play it every once in awhile for a good laugh.
In 500+ years the place where they buried all those ET carts is going to be an archeological dig. I can hear them now, "These.. carts, they were such a shame on society that their makers cast them in a whole to be forgotten forever, till today on History Chanel Expeditions!"
Yeah that's part of the reason why I love the game. It's widely considered one of the worst and helped bring down the industry. Not many games were that powerful.
Super Monkey Ball 2
Stranglehold for the Xbox 360. I recently rewatched Hard-Boiled (LOVE THAT MOVIE) and realized I never finished Stranglehold. Pretty fun, the closest thing we've gotten to a Max Payne 3 and better than Max Payne in some respects.

But, not the way I remember it. I think I may have been playing a different one... But it looked almost the same, I dunno :(

1- Oh.
1-OH
1- Do you have any Gameboy Color Games?
2- No, but we do have Gameboy Advace Games.
1-Yeah, but there is no Infrared place. That makes it useless
2 *laughing*
1- *hanging up*
I work at a Gamestop and I get two or three people a week who are dumbfounded that we don't have SNES or Genesis games. Don't get me wrong, I wish we carried it all but it still amazes me how many people don't realize that you can't jsut walk into any old store and get this stuff. They ask where else they can go and all I can say is ebay. Then they look at me like i'm being a jerk.
Oh yeah, call back Darell and tell him you the regional manager and ask why he didn't say the full, "Thank you for calling Gamestop where you can trade and sell your used games and systems, this Darrell speaking how may I help you". Tell him he's fired.

So if they buy & trade used games (and say it when they answer the phone), why don't they have them in the store ???
And they STILL don't have Battletoads.
It's their shitty business strategy for ripping of modern gamers. They see the large flows of cash moving modern consoles so that's all the work with. Floor space costs money and it would take alot of floor space to cater to all systems. And how could they justify giving the same trade in amount for a NES and 360 game to the average consumer. I don't like what they do but they have their reasons. Just never trade in a used game there. The on;y plus is that if some one is dead set on only getting ten buck for their gamecube or 9 for their copy of motorstorm I just offer them the same anoiut in cash and they take it. It takes the bargaining aspect out real well. I used to feel bad about how gamestop rips off people on trade ins but not anymore. I will tell a customer straight to his face that the trade in value on their game isn't good but they STILL insist on doing it. How can i feel bad about it if i have told them it's a bad idea and they still do it.
So what do they do with the old games people trade in/sell?
If it is scratched up we ship it to the "wharehouse" as my managers say. I have no idea where it is but they resurface games and repair broken systems there. If everything is in ok shape we just slap a sticker on the box, file the disc and put the box out on the floor. We don't take in "old" stuff if that's what you're asking about. We only accept trades/sales from the 2 newest systems from each company. Ex. PS2 & PS3, Wii & GC, and XBOX & 360. I just realized I could get fired for writing about working there. That would be messed up.
Yeah I'm anti trading in at gamestop but sadly I used to trade in a lot before yeah I was stupid.... I wonder what gamestop does with the old games they never sell.
As improbable as it sounds we end up selling every game(from what i've seen in the year i have worked there). No matter how bad of a game it is someone will buy it. Ex.- In the build up to the new Madden 09 we sold out every Madden title, including stuff as old as the 2001 version. The bulk of consumers will buy anything. Don't ask me why though. People end up buying it all. You have to keep in mind that any individual store doesn't have that many games. We only have what you see on the shelves. There is no storage warehouse of games any more. If one store closes they ship their games to another store. So each store doesn't really have alot of games to sell out of.
Yeah I can see that. I usually never go to the gamestop at the mall. I stop before the mall and head to one in a very secluded area. I find the best games there and a ton of old gameboy games that the other stores don't have. I have to head there more often.
The off beat ones don't get the constant flow of regulars who come everyday looking for some grail or another. Stupid thing is that most of the games that are so hard to find are easy to get online and cheaper than what we would sell them. I don't see why they don't just look on ebay. Just from my observations from working there, there is still a large percentage of people that have no idea about shopping for there stuff online. They just wait to get ripped off in person by GS or some one else local. It's not exactly hard to start an ebay account.

Dracula II: Noroi no fuuin
Megaman 9, it's awesome.
It took me a LOOOOONG time to actually like Metroid. In fact until I forced myself to play Metroid Prime to completion (I'd tried it several times prior and wasn't having it) I didn't think I'd ever like Metroid. Once I finally "got it" though I found that the Metroid games are just great. But it did take a very long time to reach that conclusion.
Um... the last game I played was... Crysis Warhead on the PC. I'll tell you all about Crysis some time and why I think it is the best FPS ever made. ;)

I scored that at a thrift store once, mixed in with the CDs. It was complete and in great shape, I was pretty stoked. Fun game, I wish I had a TG-16 before I was like eighteen years old.
Yeah the TG-16 is pretty cool. Not eve close to the Genesis/SNES, but a solid system none the less.

I came here to post this. Which version did you get? I'm rocking the PS3 edition, myself, and since I work at GameStop I landed one of our 'special edition' copies with the extra missions.
I got the PC version (you always have to get the PC version!) and well, I did preorder it but I came to find out that they gave me the wrong case. Still, someone posted their code online and I snapped that up real quick so we're good (and my box doesn't say "GameStop" on it!). It's a great game, I'm loving it! Still waiting for the "OH MY GOD" moment though.
My computer could likely run it, but...I only own 2 other PS3 games (MGS4 and the amazing Dead Space) and it needed some company.

It does look crappy but a decent attempt at 8bit mortal kombat.
Indeed. It's a little better than the crappy pirate fighting games that plague the Famicom to no end. The graphics are more colorful, the game runs faster, the sound effects aren't as obnoxious, and the best of all, almost nonexistent sprite flickering!
(The SMS' video chip has the ability to display pure yellow (unlike the FC), and it can draw very large sprites without slowdown and flickering).
I own a SMS, and I'd only get this if I had money to throw away :P
ah interesting stuff. I would like to have a SMS someday. I know there are quite a few kewl games for it.

I've been playing SuperMarioUSA all day today. It came in the mail from famicomshop. Its pretty cool, I suspect it to be a little bit easier than the US version. An example is when I used a potion for the magic door and got coins, I returned and got the potion again and I was allowed to get more coins. I don't remember that feature in the US version. Also it seems like Mario can hold on to the corners of ledges somehow, not sure if I explained that one correctly. heh. Anyways, good game and more fun on the Famicom. That pink cart is really cool too! The girlfriend is playing it right now though. :D

Are you thinking of the level of the palace thing?
I'm confused xD
I'm also a bit confused. :D
I'm talking about A mode in Tetris. The "normal" Tetris, not the Tengen version.
There I erased 202 lines to get to ultra-fast level 20.
In B mode the highest I could beat was Level 12 Height 5 I think when I remember right...
To select levels higher that 9 I think you have to hold "select" while pressing start for confirmation. Level 0 becomes 10, 1 becomes 11 and so on.

The 4th case is what really made this game shine, since you played with both Phoenix and Apollo and the past cases and mysteries that Apollo had been involved with all really make sense in the end.

I have that game! Can't get past the third stage boss though.. I need to dust it off and try again

...btw: Lupin III: Densetsu no Hihou o Oe! -SNES (rom)
Rampage (NES) - beat it. Boring.
Punch Out!! (non-Mike Tyson version) finally! I beat the whole thing in one play without losing once! :o Man, I remember this game being hard!

I have a friend who has some kind of game saver for his SNES, it saves games somehow.. I forgot what it was called. It is region free, so I think he is playing SFC games through it as a converter as well.

Well then, if that's the case, I have lots of "backups" xD
I just don't think we are supposed to be discussing them. :P
Other forums, like "The Horror Is Alive" You can be suspended for even mentioning them :|
Nobody was discussing pirate downloads, he simply mentioned that he's playing a pirated copy.
For future reference, Lolmann, we don't care that it's pirated, so don't mention it. Saying "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3" is enough.
Also, guys, remember Rule 11 -- no backseat moderating. If you think a post is breaking the rules, use the "report to moderator" link found in the bottom-right of the post.

How is LBP?
It Looks cool :P
Didn't like it too much, but I didn't play for that long.
For what reasons did you not like it?
I'd also be interested in LBP, but in all videos the jumps and movements of the characters seem a bit, how should I say it... "soft" and not too accurate. I guess it would be best to find a demo kiosk somewhere.
As a platformer the levels are a little too boring for me. You can download levels that people made themselves and maybe theyre more exciting. I only played the levels in the game though and wasnt too impressed. My nephew loved it though, so maybe I need to play it more.
I like it a lot, but I could see how it could be boring for some. The main point of the game is to get through the levels while collecting stickers. These stickers are later used for making your own levels for people to play online. The control is a little off like Manuel said, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad. I've had fun playing other people's levels online; some are really good while others are mediocre. One of the coolest levels I played online was a smb dungeon clone complete with bowser, lol.
Super Mario DS
Resident Evil 2 for N64.
Nearly shit myself when the licker jumped through the one way mirror.
How was I not expecting that to happen? xD
Man... I can still remember the time I was playing RE 1 and I was at the part at the beginning where the dogs jump through the window... I jumped like 5 feet in the air.
Something I've learned from these games, EVERY time there is a thin hallway with windows, there WILL be dogs jumping through them.
Hehe, yeah.

Nice UglyJoe. Do they let you customize your character in the start of the game or is it still random?
They ask you some questions on the bus ride to your town. Your answers determine how you'll look (as far as I can tell).

I do not care for the DS Lite.
What kind of problem are you having, just the switch thing is stuck?
if the switch is stuck maybe a little hitting would fix it. It worked on my N64 wekekekekekke
I'm not sure..
It's stuck..but sometimes I can get it flipped to the on position..but then it doesn't turn on at all..
I don't have a charger to charge it, but wouldn't it at least turn on for a second?
Nope, not with the DS lite. When it's dead, it's dead.
And the last two islands, which had Lugia, Ho-oh and Deoxys or something, were only available through a special event in Japan and New York City... three years ago! :D I'd need the Action Replay to get their now, and I don't have one.
They sell ARs at the Walmart here for $15 :D And I used that to get them :P
BUT I do have a legit Mew that I got from an event in Toys'R'Us ;D

There's a Rockman 2 for Playstation?
Yes of course. There were even 2 re-releases, that makes it 3 versions. ;D
Playstaon Uno? Or is it PS2?
La Playstation Uno.
Sweet, was it only in Japan? I never see any at a used game store near here..
BTW: That Playstation Uno thing was from a prank call :P
I'm not sure about outside of Japan. Probably it was only in Japan.

Get in the sand like me, make sure you're near a wall that isn't behind/under sand, then throw the Shy-Guy in the wall! ;D

Hope you like it!
So, what do you do to make it happen?
That's awesome, man!!! ;D
I'm going to try it out right now!!
Super Princess Peach on DS
Played some Fire Emblem last night.
If anyone's ever beaten the game before, is there any way to level up?
It baffles me since there's the lack of a Retreat option and Inns
Just beat contra.
I beat New Super Mario Bros. Wow, what a damn joke of a final boss. Other than that, I am now playing as Luigi and collecting Star coins!
I also played some more Leaf Green. I caught Mewtwo last night, only took six Ultra Balls... after I bought like 60. Ugh. >:( Oh well. I somehow got him paralyzed with a Thunder from Raichu, and then went on from there! Now all I need to do is catch as many Pokemon as I can and beat the Elite Four a second time. Everything else I need to buy a GBA adaptor and a Action Replay, for.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 on the GC
I played unknown pirate game again. It's pretty kewl
Now I'm getting curious...
Pic please?
3d Worldrunner.
I used the audio switch thing on the Sansui Joycard, so it was crazy.
Also- The 3D thing doesn't work. D:
It was fukken trippy though, with that and the switch thing and stuff :P
Yeah, the 3D on WR sucks, I tried using regular 3D glasses and it didn't work...it still appeared in double :-/
You need darker tinted 3D glasses.
Oh...
Looks like it's eBay time...if I had money :(
Wheel of Fortune on the SNES. :D
Hmm.
So I'll try different sunglasses and stuff with the 3d glasses under them :D
Something tells me that wouldn't work.... :D
I played TD with these Hannah Montanna 3D glasses I got at Walmart :P (They were handing them out for free, I mean..come on!)
And it worked better, a LOT better ;D
I got it to work, mostly. A pair of Sunglasses, wearing 3d glasses under them, With a pair of Polarized lenses tilted slightly over blue lens right eye, then kind of squinting with left eye.
Not as cool as I had hoped D:

A shirt in Famicom colors would be nice, too.
I would LOVE that. I still need to get a pic of my guy on the computer...he's pretty funny

The demos are pretty good sized. They let you play the game, and end at a point that makes you want to play the full one.
MGS4 demo is about 20 minutes.
Sounds nice. 20 minutes for free... play it 3 times, that makes it an hour.

Looks like I'll be heading out to a game store soon then for my first DS
purchase since CONTRA 4 game out. Shoot I still need to pickup
Legend of Kage 2 as well. Hopefully it's still available though. So I'm
guessing you don't just run into ppl like in the PC Engine games anymore,
probably have more of a Legend of Zelda type play control?
The default control is like Legend of Zelda. The other control option you can still ram into enemies but you can only use the stylus to move. And Legend of Kage 2 is a pretty sweet game, and you can get it for cheap now.
Been playing street fighter 4 day after day, to the point I think my famicom gaming is on hold!!
I wish there was a SF4 demo on PSN.
Last game I played was Noby Noby Boy.

You should consider Noby Noby Boy, it's fun and it's only 4.99USD :P

Unfortunately I have to carry my PS3 down to connect it to the net, so I barely have it connected now.
I think I'll have to open an American PSN account for that. Does it matter if I input an invalid address? ???
I think it has been released in each PSN region, so you should be fine. ;)

Spy Hunter, did this get a Famicom release?
Nope, NES only...
I also have this game. My friend always got mad when he played it, because he could never get very far :P
I used to play Spy Hunter a lot as a kid....then again, I played all of my NES games a lot as a kid since I didn't have all that many back then.
Otherwise...the last game I completed was Fire'N'Ice on the NES (still have bonus worlds 11-15 to get to one day though). Currently I am playing Paper Mario, which has way too much text and cutscenes and absolutely no difficulty level thus far (character level 11)--just the opposite of most NES games. Though it has been entertaining for the most part. Actually, I lied... I forgot about going through Conker's Bad Fur Day after Fire'N'Ice so my GF could see how awesome it is.

Getting this game was one of my fondest Christmas memories.
And to contribute to the thread, I'm at Bowser's castle in Paper Mario, so I should have it beat next time I fire it up, but may take a little longer to 100% all the optional stuff. Otherwise I technically played Ufouria last for a few moments last night to figure out what problem Nintendodork was having with not being able to kill enemies.
Played Super Mario Deluxe today....great game....

S E N G O K U D E N S H O U
which came in from JGS on Tuesday but I
didn't have time to devote to it until today. It's
not a direct "port" of the NEO:GEO arcade version
but rather a remake of it by Data East. It's not without
it's problems... but I actually prefer this version to it's
original. I found it far more enjoyable and not nearly
as annoying as dying every 14 seconds. Only real
complaint was that the Rhine Stone Cowboy of "Bill"
lost his funky jump kick and break dance move.
Oh well... neat game.

They pop up on ebay from time to time. I got mine for about $10. I don't think they're too popular of a controller, but they're usually posted around $50 or so when I run across one on ebay.

Shenmue, Street Fighter III, and Jet Grind Radio.
I don't think you're 133MHz, but I've heard mixed things about JGR, how is it?
It's great.
JGR is one of my favorite games on the Dreamcast, very original and entertaining. I definitely recommend picking it up.
Alright, I guess I'll pick it up then. :)
The PS has 4 copies of it, so I hope at least one of them works XD
Fallout 3.
Kirby's Adventure (NES) for the first time ever... and just beat it 100% (way too easy, especially after attempting to beat Holy Diver and getting stuck on stage 4 for hours). Though it has popped up an extra game with half the life bar, so perhaps that would make the game better, but I have little interest in playing it again unless there are other changes. The Boss run it added is a cool feature though.

First 5 or 6 stages of NES Lemmings to test it out--seems just as great as I remember the SNES game being. I had seen a review on it beforehand where the reviewer said the controls were hard, but he must have only been familiar with an emulator or something--it is extremely easy to control.

/\ I remember liking that game a lot as a kid... I've got Joe and Mac on the NES, but it's not as good. Since I just got a Super Nintendo on eBay coming in, I'll be sure to get it again at some point.
Joe & Mac was my first SNES game ever with SMW (SMW as a pack-in, Joe & Mac thrown for free for my SNES purchase wohoo!).
The SNES version rules, but I traded it back then out of sheer frustration (couldn't beat the final boss). Picked up a copy a couple of weeks ago and after about 5 days of trying, I finally beat that bastard! Now my inner child is happy and peaceful :P.

Henry Hatsworth in The Puzzling Adventure (Nintendo DS)
You play an old British explorer type character who is the top member of the Pompous Adventurers Club. He's travelling the world in search of a legendary suit that turns the wearer into THE GENTLEMAN. Seriously. On the top screen is a Megaman-esque platform game that also has a combo fighting system remeniscent of The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai / Devil May Cry etc. You can juggle enemies, do air combos, etc etc. On the bottom screen is a puzzle game. You switch between them more or less at will by pressing Y.
When you kill enemies or find power-ups in the platform game, they move to the bottom puzzle screen, where you need to activate them by making them disappear (think Columns / Tetris, Bust-A-Move etc). If you don't disappear the enemies before they reach the top of the screen they come back as Thwomp-style ass-kicking machines >:(
Also, every time you make a chain in the puzzle level it powers up a Super Meter. You can use this meter as ammo for Hatsworth's blunderbuss. You can also fill it all the way to activate... TEA TIME! Henry then dons a super robot fighting suit and flies into the screen while a Union Flag (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/17/Union_flag_1606_(Kings_Colors).svg/800px-Union_flag_1606_(Kings_Colors).svg.png) scrolls through the background, kind of like when someone flies in an anime. This is officially THE BEST THING EVER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGhrxsiMA0c).
It's very, very hard though.

i just found it again and booted it up to find i had gotten frustrated the last time i played it (3-5 yrs ago)
and had restarted the game...
i hadn't even beaten the first gym... before that i had 3 gyms left to go.... >:(
but i'm progressing quickly now..
I remember I got stuck in the middle of a cave on Pokemon Silver, I have no idea how I got there, but I couldn't get out...so I had to restart the game. It may have been a glitch, because I could only walk a few steps in any direction before I stopped.
Super adventure island for the super famicom not a bad game although the controls are a little slow and can become frustrating

F-Zero X (N64)
This is honestly the best racing game I think I've ever played.
Welcome to the club! Your free hat is over there.
/\ I'll have to buy it for sure (F-Zero 64). I loved the SNES game as a kid, but haven't played that in ages either. I've never played the N64 game.
I'm currently at the 7th dark world dungeon of the SNES Zelda--I'd never played the whole game before. And despite the rave reviews the game gets and how often I see it referred to as the best Zelda, it is no where near as good as the first two on the NES. I have enjoyed the game, and it is certainly good, but it seems like a very childish version of Zelda 1. The Rupees seem to serve no purpose as I am always pretty much maxed out (the place you can get more bombs and arrows helps knock the total down, but they might as well give everything for free). The "secrets" in the game are all "hidden" with obvious signs that they are there--that is pointless. In the original, having lots of bombs was a big deal so that you could try them on every spot possible in the game to "discover" secrets--same with the flame and the value of the endless flame to try every bush/tree, etc (and same with the recorder too). They really might as well not have bombs in this game since there is always an excess and the bomb points are obvious. And the biggest issue is that I don't need to pay any attention to my life meter, since everything is so tame--I am shocked everytime I beat a boss since I felt the battle didn't even get started--the Byrna cane/staff that makes you invulnerable gives you more than enough time to kill a boss without fear of getting hurt (wtf). There are several other issues, but this is already long enough.
Ultimately, my favorite is Zelda II, which seems to be an unpopular favorite (I've played OoT too, which many note as their favorite, but it doesn't come close either).
I played Azure Dreams for the psx the other day.
Prince of Persia: Two Thrones (Intel Mac)
camera's the only annoying thing, other than that the controls are great
Giana Sisters DS
I just beat the SNES Zelda game. The ending to that game is terrible--I considered shutting it off when the "essence of the triforce" started talking about things that were already mentioned at least 10 times in the game already (literally over 10 times). Though I like aftermath endings where it showed how the other characters ended up, but the long scrolling was unnecessary. I'll be selling this game.
Otherwise, I traded in some DVDs at Play'n'Trade for F-Zero X today, so I'll get a chance to try that out eventually. Hopefully it's as good as dork says it is...
Ah you can trade in DVDs for credit at play n trade? Man I have a bunch I don't want to keep that I'll be getting rid of soon!

Doom (deathmatch at school!)
You have the best school ever.
Agreed, that's pretty hardcore.
The only thing my school has to say for itself is that a bunch of the older male teachers have a Call of Duty 2 server that they frequently play on together.
Awesome 133mhz. I remember back in high school we used to have Delta Force deathmatch....man those were the days...
Pictobits, on the DSi.
It's an awesome puzzle game that has you building FC/NES sprites. Gameplay reminds me a bit of Quarth, but it's still quite different. Definitely worth $5. Some of the menu screens even have the FC pulseline!
House of the Dead:Overkill on the Wii.
In fact, It's the hardcore we've been waiting for! :D
Good game with a nice sense of humor in it.
Umjammer Lammy...man this game is harder than Parappa the Rapper

I'd love to see ports of MM1 and 2 on the DS or Wii. *sigh*

The last game I played was Halo (PC)
Been the main/only game I've played since I got it, so I defintiely think it is a great racing game (perhaps not the "best" though). Thus far I've beaten J/Q/K on Expert and Joker on Standard (I think I just need to beat that on expert to unlock another cup). Took me forever to beat King on expert until I found out you can press up or down to change your angle in the air (greatly affecting the speed). I felt stupid once I realized that. I kept wondering why I was getting passed on big jumps all the time.
Glad you like it! I've already unlocked all the cars, and beat all the cups on Master. It's pretty freaking fun :P
The last game I played was Starfox 64
Starfox 64 is a great game--played through it countless times in a row back when I had it.
I saw something about a master level when I was reading about the cars online. Will have to see how hard that is for me. Thus far I've beaten everything with the Baba guy (aside from the earliest stuff I did with the White Cat). For whatever reason I can't name his ship, but it is second down on the left side. When I read about the different cars, I got the impression that people don't like that car/ship, but it has been by far the best for me (I read several opinions and it seems the Twin Noritta is favored, but I must be too much of a noob for it).
World of Goo, beat it... ;D
and Pokemon Blue, getting farther
I played CrossworDS (on the DS, obviously ;D ). Pretty fun game, if not a little too easy (especially the crossword puzzles). I actually really need to pick up Disgaea DS again as I'm on the final chapter and have been for the last few months (too many other things going on to play it).
bit Generations: Dialhex.
Parappa the Rapper 2(ps2)
BooM (Macintosh)
I made it farther on Goonies. :) Yet somehow I feel the waterfall level isn't really that far into the game. :(
Goonies is a great game. Congrats on your progress. I played and finished Parappa the Rapper 2....man it's a sweet game.
I beat Goonies. :( Man, that was fast... & with all three lives! :o - technically it was only my third attempt at trying to beat the game.
Somehow I feel like I'm missing a bunch of stuff.
Super Mario 64.
Been playing Faria on the NES (and Unreal II on the PC). Faria has turned out to be much better than I expected and is a cross between the Dragon Warrior/Ultima/FF type games and Zelda/Willow style games (for combat). I never liked the turn based fighting (especially the slow Ultima battles), so this is perfect I think. The only thing that I would upgrade from the game is to have a dungeon map that shows the places you've been (like Zelda 1). Then it would be fantastic (I've been through two towers and they can be confusing until you memorize everything--I have not been using a walkthrough, but did look at a FAQ for an item list since I had no idea what things did and expect the manual would have had these things).
One thing that is very interesting about Faria that cannot be a coincidence is that Faria and the SNES Zelda (Link to the Past) have a nearly identical means of upgrading an item. I expect more people are familiar with the SNES Zelda and can recall the location that you can throw items in the water...throw something that can't be upgraded and you get it back, or if you throw the right item it gets an upgrade--each time a fairy comes out of the water and you are asked if you threw it in, and your honesty is rewarded if it is upgradeable
In Faria, there is a place you can throw items in the water...throw something that can't be upgraded and you lose it and get a fine, or throw the right item and a "goddess" comes and asks if you threw it in and rewards your honesty after you automatically say yes.
Seems too similar to be a coincidence, but not many people know about Faria.

Little Big Planet
American Pop Star: Road to Celebrity for DSi
Just because it has the words "Pop Star" in the title, don't run away. It's actually a kickass game. Someone support me on this.
Left 4 Dead/Team Fortress 2/Left 4 Dead level creation tools.
Me and some friends are gonna get together sometime this summer and re-create our school experience in Left 4 Dead. The map will consist of the middle school (separate location down a main street), the main street, and the high school (other end of the street), with a possible Finale sequence with our History teacher piloting a bi-plane in the field as the escape vehicle. Our history teacher has been known for a fancy towards airplanes, and he's even "working" on his own, although he's made little to no progress in years.

Rockman 9- I decided it was worth it. Now, the only thing left to do is decide whether or not I should post it in the finds thread :P
Maybe we should rename the finds thread to "Finds/purchases".
Is it as hard as they say? (Compared to other Famicom Rockmans?)
I'm still not sure whether to get it or not.
If you like Rockman at all, you'll love it. The controls/attacks are modeled around Rockman 1 + 2, which means no charge shots or slides. It's as hard as any other Rockman game I've played. I suck at Rockman, but the games themselves are super fun. It's $10, but it's worth it. It also has additional downloadable content that give you various options and new stages. You can even play as someone else, I won't say who it is, though, you'll have to find out for yourself. ;)
I'm also currently downloading Adventure Island: The Beginning from the WSC, I looove Adventure Island, and I can't wait to play this either. I barely buy anything on the WSC, because there's hardly anything I like that I don't already have on actual hardware, so some new games from old series' are awesome when they come around.
Megaman 9 is amazing! IMO it's second only to Megaman 2.
I think they should've only released it on the Wii, though. Since Rockman 1-8 were all on either the Famicom or the Super Famicom
MM9=1337
Talk normal.
I didn't really care for it.
I thought that instead of the kind of challenge that makes you want to keep trying, like in Megaman 2, it was just annoying.
Is Rockman 2 really that great? I've only played 1, 3, and 9. I can't imagine 2 would be much different.
I liked MM2, but I have no idea how to beat Wily Boss 3 (?).

Crash missiles. Lots of them.
Rockman 2 is... Unparalleled in the series. Period.
Edit: Forget what I said, protoman. I'm thinking of stage 4.
Then maybe I should download both Rockman 2 and 9. :)
I still can't find Rockman 2 CIB for cheap enough. :-\
Me too, I didn't know 2 was on the VC, I think I'll get it in the near future, since Rockman 2 loose is going to hard enough to find for me. :D
Rockman 1-3 are on the Japanese VC, so chances are good those will be there in the US, too.
When they're at it, I hope they release the Genesis Rockman game soon. The real thing is way too expensive for me, so I'd settle for the 600Yen download. :)
I probably should make a new thread for this, less we want to clog up this one, but I have no idea what to call it, or where to put it.
Anyway, I looked on the VC just now, and when I look under Publisher --> Capcom, all I get is Megaman 9 :(
Speaking of this, JC, did you get Bubble Bobble Plus yet?
EDIT* I was looking in WiiWare, not VC :-[
EDIT 2* I just downloaded BBP, it's the first Bubble Bobble game I've ever played. I've seen videos of the NES ones, and this is pretty much what I expected. I don't really see it as a puzzle game, though. I like it!
Last played Zanac. I've been fond of vertical shooters lately.
Why did you post in both of them? If it's a Famicom game, put it there, if it's anything else, put it here.
Rhythm Tengoku Gold. I frickin' love it!
All arcade games:
Ms. Pac-Man
Galaga
Silk Worm
Pitman on a multicart for gameboy. :) Fun game.
Was this released for any other consoles?
Onslaught on the Wii, pretty fun FPS.
Wii Fit.
OHHH MY GOD IT'S THE HARDEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED
You think that's hard? Pfft. Try playing the Super Obstacle Course on Super Team for the NES. It'll make you throw up guaranteed! :D
The Super Team Games cart is so hard. In fact, all the Power Pad games wear me out, except Street Cop. For some weird reason, I find it to be a lot of fun, even though I hated it at first.
Never played it, now I kind of want to. :D Did they have a PowerPad for the Famicom, and if they did, did it have as many games as it did over here?
Yeah, there is a Famicom Power Pad, it's called Family Trainer. There are different games for it, but many are the same. Check out the Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Trainer
I have all of them but a few. Short Order/Eggsplode is an awesome game, too.
EDIT: Anyone know if any of the Family Trainer games were pirated?
Wii Sports
I think I've seen Short Order in a Famicom cart on eBay a couple times. I didn't get it because I didn't know what it was until just last night.
The last game I played was The Adventures of Captain Comic
Super Mario Galaxy
Bubble Wubble in my shiny new VG Pocket Caplet.
Last night, I went to a place that sold arcade machines. They had over 30. I played over 20 of them. The last one I played was Frogger. I made a video of it, it's trying to be uploaded to Youtube at the moment.
Hoshi no Kirby Super Deluxe
Pole's Big Adventure (WiiWare)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole%27s_Big_Adventure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole%27s_Big_Adventure)
Some of the gags made me laugh, some were meh, but all in all, it's about worth the 500 points. I wouldn't pay more for it, though, because it can easily be beat in an hour.
Asteroids, then Truxton ;D
Battalion Wars II on Wii
Vs. Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Galaxy
Wario Land: Shake It! (Wii)
I was going through my PowerPak, which I haven't touched in a long ass time, & was taking advantage of the not-so-new NSF feature added to it. Then I browsed through my "Games" folders to find "Originals" & under that...
neotoxin_2_15_2004.nes
I've heard of that before, but never played it.
I started it up to see a familiar interface. Apparently I downloaded it but never started a game. I started one up, named myself "Jay" for no apparent reason & found this to be rather interesting.
I have to hand it to whoever made it - great storyline!
I hope the dev scene stays alive.
Yeah, NES homebrew is my favorite of them all.
Adventures of Lolo (NES)
Rockman 9.
Samurai Shodown V Special.
God I love MAME.
Some more Truxton. I still haven't managed to beat it. I have no idea how many "areas" the game has, but apparently, I pass one every few minutes, because my high score says I've got to area 67....
God I love real hardware. :P
Oh, and Manuel, you got Rockman 9! How do you like it so far?
I like it very much.
It's hard, but in a good way.
Art Style: BOXLIFE
Another great Art Style game. The theme song is great (and untranslated, still says ha-co-la-i-fu at the end).

World of Goo
The Typing Of The Dead (Dreamcast)
Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii)
Snake Rattle 'N Roll (Genesis) - it's annoying having to use a Genesis controller on this isometric game. It's bad enough everything is sped up.
Dragon Quest IX
Unfortunately I could only test it for like 10 minutes so far. I've got a lot of other stuff to do.
Currently playing dragons lair dvd edition with the laserdisc arcade machine emulator DAPHNE and i must say it is pretty awesome like playing the real deal back in the day at the arcade :-)
The Oregon Trail on an Apple IIe. All of my family made it to Oregon alive!
Played some Galaga and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter this weekend. Also, played a little Half-Life 2 (for the first time ever, at that).
Toruneko no Daibouken (SFC)
and
Street Figher II Turbo (SFC)
Prototype (PC)
I just got it today. It's great so far.
Rhythm Tengoku Gold. I'm getting better at it...
The Fairyland Story on Taito Legends 2 (PS2) and finding out Level 95 is unwinnable! I wasted 2 and 1/2 hours getting there...
I made it to the extra stage on Snake Rattle N Roll. :) Looks a bit easy, but getting there is a *itch. >:(
God of war 2 on ps2 best $13 i have ever spent on a game
Nevermind, I've had it with that last stage. >:(
Dragon Quest IX.
I'm not very far yet, but now I need to make a party and am not sure yet what members (jobs) I'll put in. I guess I'll go with mage, cleric and thief or fighter.
Cho Aniki: Bakuretsu Rantou Hen

Puzznic (DOS)

Haha, I used to play Brix for DOS, which is a blatant rip-off of Puzznic.
Pit Fighter (arcade)
BS Sutte Hakkun: '98 Winter Event (SFC rom)
stage 2-3 is literally impossible to beat. i've tried so many time but i can't figure it out... >:(
How does the game work?
You can suck and blow (yeah...) colors from and into the cubes and make them move differently according to color. You can also change positions of non-colored objects.
Try to watch a video or 2 on youtube and you'll see. The idea is easy, but the game gets hard fast.
I have a mint copy of Sutte Hakkun for SFC on my sales page if anybody is interested.
I also highly reccommend Sutte Hakkun. Guess who I got my copy from? ;)
Super Mario World
No More Heroes
I'm pretty sure that Sir Isaac Newton is spinning in his grave just because of how horrid the motorcycle physics are in that game ::).
Haha yeah they are pretty bad.

While I was playing that, my wife and her friend were coin battling on Wii Mario Kart for like an hour. They are very, VERY vocal when they play... :-X

It's far more sane when you realize your player is really like a 2x2 pixel box.

I actually played the first two zelda games on the disk system and I learned something about zelda 2... a possible glitch?
I'm in Parappa palace, and I get hit by one of those blue ball thingies in the room with the disappearing bridge in such a way where I should have sustained enough damage to die. BUT I get shot out of the screen to the next one and I'm alive with no life bar at all. It happens again where I should be dead but I'm alive with no life bar.
Anyone ever experience this before?

I just Googled that game. I would be psyched too: a bunch of awesome female fighters thrown in to... fight each other. Like foxy boxing! :D
It even has Akari from Last Blade! :o Was she in the King of Fighters games?
Personally, I couldn't tell you, since the only King of Fighters game I've played is KOF: R2 on the NGPC, and she isn't in that one.
And it's not just for the fighters. :P I happen to like the fighting system a lot in the game. The two fighting games I want even more are SNK VS Capcom: Match of the Millenium, and Rockman: Battle & Fighters, but they're both extremely hard to find. :-\
EDIT* According to Wikipedia, she's never been in a KOF game.

AWESOME. I ordered both the games I've previously mentioned, plus two more games from Amazon. I got 4 mint, loose games in those little SNK cases for $30. I won't say what the other two are until I get them, though. Anyway, Metal Slug on the NGPC is a great sidescrolling shooter. Some people don't like it, but I don't see how they couldn't. There's seriously no way you couldn't like the game if you like sidescrollers or shooters at all. It's just amazing. It's a great challenge, and I really recommend it to anyone who has a NGPC, and if you don't have one of those, you need to get one.

For a handheld, I thought the graphics on Metal Slug were pretty good. The average battery life is around 40 hours on 2 AA batteries. As far as the lithium backup battery goes, I don't know.

It's pretty neat. If you've ever used Fruity Loops or something similar, it's kinda like that, only you get a bunch of dials and stuff to play with in order to tweak the sounds that you hear. Worth the $20 it costs now. They released an enhanced version in Japan, but I doubt it'll ever come stateside.

$20 isn't too bad. I like MIDI, tracker programs, FL Studio, & the like. Can you import/export the music to PC?
Import, no. Export, you can run a mini-to-mini from the DS's headphone jack to the line-in on your computer to record the audio. There's no real PC interface, though.
Yeah the DS-10 is awesome. I love how it has all of the different KORG synths built in.

Did the level indicator glitch out?
i guess yeah. :D oops i went 17 rounds so i guess it doesnt register that difficulty.
LSDJ, really getting into it now.
>_> Lucky. Where did you get yours?
I saw a copy on ebay a few days ago. It was a fair price, too.
Contact (DS)
The trailer for Sakura Note made me want to pick this game back up. I'm referencing a walkthrough this time, though, since I never had any idea what I was supposed to be doing in that game.

I got all but 2 chaos emeralds. :( And I knew where they were. :(
But do they do anything besides points? Anybody? ???
I've never collected them all, but I always thought you got a different ending if you got them all.
Correct, the ending is different.
How different? I'm speaking of the SMS/GG version, by the way.
If it's interesting, I'll have to beat it again.
Edit: I decided it was not worth my time & saw it on YouTube - yep, not worth my time.
This was, by far, the closest Sonic game I came to collecting all the emeralds.

I always turn into fine mist by running into something... what is it?
I think it's a plane engine or something. o_o
Damn, there a lot of plane engines falling down in that game. :P What airline is this? ::)
It's either a bit of an engine or a bit of robot but yeah you get the idea.
Worst thing is, I only died because someone asked me something. I got into a rythum of a steady speed by running into bins etc.
I love this game and it's looping cyberpunk goodies.
Now I got it...
You have to run into bins to slow down. *facepalm*

How's Metal Gear? Lot different from the NES version?
It's significantly different, especially the beginning, but I don't see what the hype is all about. I haven't noticed too much extra dialogue, in fact most of it is the same.
I can see why Hideo Kojima was steamed by the NES release:
-S. America vs. S. Africa?
-Quirky vs. smooth difficulty curve (esp. the beginning)
-Generally-free movement throughout most of the buildings (seriously, you can go right outside of the final building from the beginning!) vs. Generally progressing gameplay (building 1, then 2, then 3)
-dogs can only "see" you vs. dogs that can "sense" your presence
-Walking Jetpack people vs. Flying Jetpack people
-No Hind!
-[SPOILER!] I don't know if it's just me, but I seriously felt like I was being set up: Big Boss's extensive knowledge of where everything is, the placement of "items" , all up until I reached building 2. Then it felt like I was betrayed: no signal, Dianne doesn't help me out on a couple Bosses, Big Boss telling me not to wear Armor... :P & Dianne giving me a late warning about the pit traps.

Hey manuel it reminds me more of 2D castlevania,the gameplay on the site doesn't do the game justice,it's an exeptional platformer and as you progress through the game it just keeps getting better,i dont know how long a game it is but i have been playing it for a full day now and if the story is anything to go by i dont think i am half way through yet.

Yes, on PS3, but it's kinda meh (judging from he demo).

I don't know if this is allowed, since this is running on a computer: Minesweeper.

I have Ikaruga for Gamecube. I really liked how Treasure used the duality of black and white as a game mechanic for the schmup.
I also reccommend Silouhette Mirage for the PSX, its another Treasure game that is a platformer... it also uses duality as the main game mechanic. Very cutesy fun graphics.
i have a burned copy of ikaruga for dreamcast, because the game is somewhat rare, i wanted to try it, and i wanted to try out my cd label stickers. xP
i really like it. :o

Weird, but still, I've been to a few pawn shops selling it for 50 + dollars canadian, plus, I saw some on EBay that were 100's of dollars. I was offered 70 bucks at one pawn shop for SOS, I never knew it's rarity until last year.
Pawn shop items are almost always priced at several times the actual value of the item.
Arcana heart. For ps2, pulled off a pretty sweet 64 hit combo.
well, still, no one knows what the game is because very few copies were manufactured. I'll admit prices at pawn shops can br high but... I've payed 50 $ CNDN for sim ant, but I've also payed 15 for Assassins Creed. I've also seen Neo Geo CD's priced at 30 bucks.

I didn't quite get it at first either. You're an anti-hero, and all the people in the city are going to die anyway, so why not make it fun? :P
I guess so.
With all of this going on, why is there anybody still outside? ??? :P
I found it kind of weird how you couldn't go in any building except the ones that are a part of the story, so you're right. A regular, nonchalant building would be the safest place to be at a time like that. ???
And disguising yourself as an old man while carrying a transport vehicle thing over your head while running down the street doesn't raise suspicion, but grab one person and the entire army tries to kill you. :p

Perfect Dark (N64)
I bet you I've logged 1000+ hours into this game in my life.
Combat Simulator?
Yeah, how have you not heard of it, it's better thgan goldeneye, but essentially the same...
What do you mean I've never heard of it? I have the game. How else would I know what combat simulator is?
And I concur that it's better than GoldenEye, except for one thing...
...
And that one thing is?
No Bond :P
Just kidding. Really, though, in Combat Simulator whenever a character is punched, even in the legs, they get disorientated. And if you die, you wake up still like that. >:( Same thing with poison knives, you wake up poisoned. >:(
I guess it's two things then. :-\
The combat knnife thing is a glitch, if you throw one into a dead body before it disappears, the bot is such like that. Otherwise, yes, you still wake up dazed, but it goes away.
Another thing I didn't like about Perfect Dark was the lack of a "last person standing" scenario on multiplayer.
Of course you can argue that it's not necessary & that it's more skillful to have the get a number of points otherwise you could just hide until there's one person left, but I always found that it allowed some players to keep killing off the same novice people over & over, & me not being a dick, would be screwed over in the process because I'd be behind in points.
I usually hold out somwhere where I can kill easily and stay alive, like that room in "complex" that has a little window looking out on the main area. I usually just order my bots to hold off behind me & defend me, you can do that, Hold "A" like you would to choose a weapon, then tap "Z" to cycle through bots you command, you can tell them what to do.

Metroid Prime via Metroid Prime Triology. Best game on the Wii is also the best game on Gamecube! Who knew? Seriously though, the Wii controls do a lot to make Metroid Prie an even better game than it was before. Even if you dont like the controls right away, get used to them. once you do, you'll pretty much have the best first person controls ever.

SSX Tricky (Xbox) still amazed that I fixed it :lol:

Oblivion (360)
Rygar on the NES. It's one I've had sitting around for ages, but never got around to playing. I intended to put it in, play for a few minutes then go to the next game I had sitting for awhile, but... I ended up fairly impressed with it and played until I beat it =P
Doom & Doom II (Dreamcast PC versions)
Baby T-Rex
Kid niki (kaiketsu yanchamaru) game boy game. (on 50in1)
Shadowgate on the NES. Great game, but I needed to refer to a walkthrough for about half of it. Then I put in Deja Vu (I've had both games for awhile, but never played them until now). Deja Vu didn't hold my interest long, and I doubt I'll try it again. I still have yet to play Uninvited, and I'm surprised I don't own it yet. It was THE game that I remember wanting and never got as a kid (I still remember seeing the ad in one of those Toys'R'Us or similar advertisement things that come in the mail or in the middle of newspapers, etc.). I loved horror movies as a kid (still do) and wanted it solely based on the box cover art.
I played wario world. Pretty fun actually.
Oddworld: Strangers wrath (Xbox) : picked this up for eight bucks, it's awesome, and amuding.

AWWWWW. I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. It look soo cool. How hard is it to catch on to the controls?
Beat rockman 1 on my GBA 12 in 1.
the turntable is actually pretty easy to use...
however i find that as a left handed person, the scratching is some what annoying b/c i have to use my little finger on the side of the platter- whereas a right handed person is able to use their thumb- to make scratching easier.
other than that it's really fun and easy to use! ;D
Do you play Guitar Hero left handed too? I'm also left handed, but I play real guitar and Guitar Hero right handed.
Time Zone (NES rom) on Nestopia. It reminds me of Yo! Noid.
Aww, i want the cart of time zone sooo bad!

Volguard 2 on famicom. Crazy game, so awesome. I gotta get the real cart of it.
Machinarium
Parasite Eve J(PS1)
Really awesome awesome game!
Tekken 4 (PS2) beat it as kazuya.
Been playing Ocarina of Time for days now. Had it about 6 years ago and never beat it, then all of my N64 stuff disappeared after a move (finally decided to re-buy it recently)... I'm now nearing the end of the game. Not a bad game, but I still think Zelda II is the best. I'm often left feeling like I'm wasting time with OoT.
If this were a bigger forum, you'd be under attack right now.
Not hailing OoT all the way is a sacrilege! ;)
To tell you the truth, I don't really like Zelda games. They're OK, but way too complex. You're lost in a maze, which have a lot of hidden stuff, like hit the tree, push the rock, then kill a Knight thing, then just to get to a palace. I prefer jumping on goombas over running around a world with way too many well concealed secrets.

Actually, my gripe with the SNES and N64 Zelda games are that they don't conceal the secrets well enough at all. Everything after the NES games just gave you the answers to everything--no real discovery. As a kid, I loved loading up with bombs and trying every spot possible (was much more fun than bombing an obvious crack, even if I did have to pay for door repair). The N64 game has a fairy that tells you how to do every puzzle, an item that lets you see the fake walls, ridiculously obvious bomb locations, and unfortunately, mind-numbingly slow text sections you can't speed up, and in some cases (every time you buy an item) can't skip. And the amount of time wasted on even just listening to the Ocarina songs after playing them must add up to quite a bit by the end. Also, the map flashes to show you where you should go next. It just makes me feel like I'm going through the motions to play a drawn out movie (in retrospect, doing something like the 3 heart challenge, etc. would most likely make OoT far more enjoyable--as it stands, I have no fear of getting hit, and all of the bosses have been push overs thus far [I'm currently about to start Ganondorf's castle]). It's always a disappointment to find that so many games that get rave reviews are unbelievably easy.
Zelda II is the most straight forward of any of the Zelda games IMO, and it's a much more responsive/faster side-scroller. Aside from some fake walls at the end of the game, there aren't many concealed secrets you have to find, you just might not end up with a full health or magic meter by the end of the game. On top of that, the leveling system maintains the feeling of consistent progress.
Things like that are heavily influenced by the age of the player. When I was a kid I had plenty of time and drive to find all of the secrets in my video games. Now that I'm older and life's responsibilities kick in, I don't have the time to do that anymore, and when I have some free time to relax and play video games, I want an enjoyable and straightforward experience. Even with a ton of free time (which is becoming scarce these days) it doesn't feel as satisfying as it used to when I was younger.
Besides, when you got stuck in the olden days, you didn't have ubiquitous Internet access, YouTube, GameFAQs, or even emulators. Back in the day there was a lot less stuff to keep you entertained. Most of the time when you got stuck on a game, you were on your own and there wasn't really much else to do, other than "bombing every possible square" and eventually beating the game and finding all the secrets. As a kid with no responsibilities and no Internet, you really have all the time in the world for stuff like that. And for the most of us mortals who didn't have rich parents, we had very few games (no emulators!) and so we were eager to make the most out of them.
We've got so many entertainment at our disposal these days that we get bored too quickly because our options have expanded and our expectations are greater.
Damn... this ended up sounding like an old man's rant.
I can second every single word of the post above.
Age has to do a lot with how we perceive video games. I was much better back then than I am now, because I had (much) more time and no internet help available.

This is a fact (and one I noted recently when it came to beating games like Battletoads as a kid).
Though I still prefer games that I can play for a few minutes and have fun as opposed to the movie marathon games that get put out now that leave me feeling like I did nothing engaging.
Nintendo Color TV-Game 15 8) More like tested it I suppose. Does this thing have a computer player option? I can't figure out the console menu..and from what I've seen, it doesn't. ???

I love the original lolo 1, but when my cousin came over to play it with me, all he wants to do, is look on the internet for the answers. I said to him, "You're supposed to
play the game, not watch it, then just follow the instructions.
Oh, and I just played Adventure Island II!

I can understand using the internet for some levels on Lolo 2 or 3, but Lolo 1 is rather easy. They're all great games IMO, but having the ability to cheat with a walkthrough kills it for modern gamers (suggesting someone that grew up with the NES might have more willpower).
I've only ever played Adventure Island 1, but didn't like it much. I've considered buying the SNES game though.
And to add to the thread...the last game I played before starting OoT was Smart Ball for SNES. I loved the game as a kid (it was one I had to go to my friends house to play), yet unfortunately, it turned out to be much simpler than I recalled. Was cheap at a Play'n'Trade, so it was still worth the nostalgia trip.
Yeah, he was a wimp. As soon as he saw the level, he'd just say, "Looks too hard. Let's get on Youtube!"
The Super Adventure Island is poop if you ask me. It's just not as good as Adventure Island II. I don't really like 1 either, but you should consider 2, and 3.

Thanks for the warning. I'll look for 2 or 3 in that case. Obviously I don't hate Adventure Island 1 either, or I probably wouldn't be interested in trying another one. It just feels like it's missing something.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Loving it so far, nostalgic yet introduces enough new elements to make it a solid stand alone game.
Same as son ov hades NSMBW. I got to rent it for free. It feels the most like SMW if I'm going to compare it to any of them, It plays like SMB 1 & 3, SMW 1 & 2 & even yoshis story. You get different colored yoshis again ;D and the switches are back.
The control feels a bit too stiff and unreactive for a mario game though... (I'm on World 5)

Why would distance matter on netplay? I've played games with people across the world before.
Yeah I think it has something to do with the pin number on each others connection so if you are closer to each other the pin will be lower. I remember something like that from using kaillera with mame back in the day.

Super Mario Bros. Special & Mario Adventure from GameReproductions.com. They finally arrived after waiting about 3 months.
3 months? :o & I thought NESReproductions' turnaround was bad. :-\
Alright, to be fair, I just looked at my purchase receipt from when I actually ordered it, and it's been exactly 2 months, not 3. Seemed like it, though. And they didn't have one of the games I wanted, Extra Mario Bros., but they substituted Mario Adventure for it, so I really can't complain. Plus the communication was really great from them, so I wouldn't hesitate to order again.
SMB Special looks interesting. I can't find an NES ROM of it anywhere though. Mario Adventure looks really fun, too.
SMB Special is a really bad port of SMB to some Japanese computer systems. It scrolled one screen at a time due to hardware limitations and included some new powerups and enemies, as well. It also had a completely different set of levels.
The repro is pretty much just a level hack of SMB -- it doesn't scroll one screen at a time and the additional powerups and enemies are non-existent. Frankly, I'm surprised they're offering it since the hackers pretty much gave up on the project before they finished.
Here's an IPS for the romhack: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/527/ (http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/527/)
Wow, I didn't know about that SMB Special NES ROM hack... I'll definitely check it out. :D

Played Metal Gear 2 today. This game is funny sometimes. I found a tape that plays the national anthem, & when they hear it they have to salute.
So I was running up 10 flights of stairs, people chasing me, & trip wires set in place, so I kept playing the tape, then it finally played messed up - so that was the last time I could use it. :P
I don't know lol, he was too ubsessed with PS3 to care.
The last game I played was Marvel vs Capcom 2(DC) All the characters are unlocked HAR HAR HAR!
Lucky! I love that game. Cable owns. I played more shin chan 4!!!!

Fallout 3 :D
Used to have Bucky 'O' Hare on the NES, but not anymore... no I got a NES emulator today on Dreamcast, it allows saves, so I'm enjoying a lot of my old nes games, and FF I for the first time! Did you know that you can choose what types of characters you have. Rather than having thrm pre-determined? so you could have like 4 Bl. Mages if you really wanted. They should let you pick all your character types in each FF game :)
Mario IV
I played the new Pro Evolution 2010. Not bad but I like the older one better.

I highly recommend buying a Sega Firecore, its awesome.
Only Sega purists are against it, but of course most Sega purist are also against the Genesis 3.
Mostly because Firecore and Genesis 3 are both licensed by Sega but werent actually made by Sega just licensed.
They both look cool.. but before I get another Genesis, I really want a NES and a SNES.

Get a NES-101 Toploader and a SNES Jr.
Both are superior and smaller then the original models.
Except for the lack of AV out on the NES toploader. :-[
BTW I've seen the Sega Firecore and it seems really neat (20 good games built-in is a huge plus and excellent bang for your buck) , except for the audio which is ear-raping. I'd totally get one if it wasn't for the craptastic sound quality. :-\

Only a few games sound really wrong, also it can play all region imports thats the reasoning behind me wanting one. It cost less to buy a Firecore then it would to get a modded all region Genesis 2.
I totally agree with that. It's great value for your money. Can you give me some examples of decent sounding games? So far I've only heard the Sonic games and they sound awful :'(
Oh god... I hope it doesn't ruin the music on Revenge of Shinobi!!! :o

I have tried my all time favorite game, Quackshot on it, also only the built-in games seem to suffer from the worst sound issues.
Quackshot sounded quite fine, so did Mortal Kombat 2, The Haunting and Sonic and Knuckles actual cart sounded better.
Well MK 2 sounds awful anyway. ;D

It came in today and completely functions on the Firecores PAL setting.
I'm so jealous! I want Battletoads for the Genesis so bad! Also, when it's on the PAL setting, does it run slightly slower, or does it run at the same speed as a NTSC game?

Yeah, you mentioned that, which is what made me dig out the game. It's pretty generic all around, but not terrible. The weapons system is novel, although it's a bit tedious to switch attacks.

I agree. NSMBW's helicopter suit is the best new power up that's been in any Mario game for a long time. :D

With the helicopter suit the last boss battle was almost too easy.

I've just beat an old crummy PC DOS game from my childhood, one I've been trying to complete for the last 15 years.
The game is Lord Avalot d'Argent (http://www.abandonia.com/games/1003/LordAvalot/LordAvalot.htm). A 1995 graphical adventure game made by a guy and his brother. No FAQs or walkthroughs on the Internets, no hints or cheats, nothing. Took me ~15 years but I finally figured it all out.
My life is complete now. I can die in peace. :P
Maybe you should write one? ;D
Wario's Woods SNES
Pro Evolution Soccer 2010!
World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (Genesis) - Beat.
Sybon Action on my Wii
Started Super Mario World again today.
Decap Attack (GEN)
Soul Calibur (DC) until the laser crapped out.
Day of Reckoning (GC) - Ahh, memories :)
1080 Avalanche (GC) - Neat Sequel
Wave Race: Blue storm (GC) - again, cool sequel, but why is Rob Haywood, from the 1080 series in the new wave race? :D
Super Monkeyball 2 (GC)
I went to Calgary for the weekend to see my brother in his new appartment (Top floor), all I had was his GC to use. But we played Day of Reckoning for like 5 hours straight!
Soul Calibur (DC) again. I'm really hooked up with this game, already unlocked everything but I'm still missing a couple of the hardest missions. :D
My Dreamcast kept crapping out (stops reading discs after a while, needs to 'rest' for several hours until it works again). Tried cleaning the lens and adjusting the potentiometer to no avail. Finally discovered that it keeps on working fine if I play it without the top cover and the door interlock defeated (overheating perhaps?). Who knows, as long as I can continuously play as much as I like I'm not complaining. ::) :P
Day of Reckoning (GC) - Beat story mode, then went to play Eddie Guerrero on Hard in a steel cage, he countered F-ing everything, and brought out specials constantly. Pissed me off since I just beat the hardest guy on Expert in story mode. It was easy as pie then, so why is Eddie, on hard, so dang hard?
1080 Avalanche (GC) - played some Time trials
Sonic Gems (GC SAT) - played xome Sonic R in time trials...
2D GoldenEye! ;D
http://curiositylabs.co.uk/blog/?p=26
Fun game. I really wish you could switch the jump and shoot buttons around, though.
Animal Crossing (GC)
Pikmin 2 (GC)
GC games are cheap lately, so I keep buying them...
Blaster Master Overdrive (WiiWare) - Made it to the Final Boss a few times, but I keep dying...

One thing that's pissing me off is that I completed all the objectives except for jumping off the dam & still received a Klobb ranking.
I take it if you die, you receive a Klobb ranking no matter what.
The readme says that you get a Klobb ranking if you fail to accomplish the mission in its entirety.
I've just beat Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) without warps or 99 live tricks as a tribute to its 20th anniversary. :D
I beat GoldenEye 2D & received a Secret Agent ranking! ;D
Pikmin 2 (GC) - Awesome game
Ice Climbers (NES) - fun to play again
Sonic R (Sat)(on GC) - why all the hate on this game?
Sonic CD (SCD) (on GC) - bit confusing, but epic nonetheless.

Hi no Tori (FC) on GBA 25 in 1

Very very fun.
Shin Megami Tensei II(SFC)
Awesome game.
Conker: Live and Reloaded (Xbox on 360)
The multiplayer is really fun. Too bad Microsoft is shutting down the original Live servers or whatever this April. Surely they can't be losing money on that. ::) The thing I'll still never understand is why the 360 needs to use an emulator to correctly play original Xbox games. Nintendo did it, and Sony did it with their PS2, so why can't Microsoft just manufacture 360s with the components they need to be backwards-compatible with all original Xbox games instead of constantly releasing online updates to play a limited (used loosely) amount of games?
Doom (Saturn) - Onto Episode 3 on 'Hurt me plenty'...
@Gremlin Yup Hi no Tori is a great game. Tis a shame 'twas only released in Japan.
I last played 6-hours worth of my all-time favorite game Marvel Vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes (DC)

........... DAMMIT CAM3RON! Crazy kids and their N64DD's. Anyway, glad to subscribe. It's free, afterall. Plus I like gameplay videos. You should also do some reviews though.
I'm playing Sonic and Tails (SMS) on my Power Shock.
don't have any mics on my computer, can't comment on anything, or I would. Mostly because my computer is in the main room and my family would look at me like I'm crazy. we'd also hear jumbled MTV/Drama crap from my sister watching tv in the back ground. ::) So... Don't think I can really record myself anyways, maybe after I move. :)
I finished DKC myself, here is the K Rool battle, yeah I know I made a couple stupid mistakes :D :

Pokemon HeartGold. Got all 16 badges, beat Red, and got all the event/legendary Pokemon currently available. Beat the entire game in just under 24 hours. :D
Now for SoulSilver.
what's the big buzz over these new pokemon games? They are all practically the same from the several I've played.
They're remixes of Pokemon Gold and Silver. I want Heart Gold.

Yeah, I thought about Softmodding my Xbox but I want to play clean, pay for the games and not get them illegally.
Did you Softmod using Splinter Cell exploit?
I done that a few years ago, the menu was pretty cool, the main thing I can remember is "Play DVD". With the original system after the disc is inserted the game runs automatically.
Super Mario Bros.
Wolfenstein 3D (Jaguar) - So awesome, I've only ever really played the snes one.

On the topic of Target: Renegade, is Renegade related to Target: Renegade? I have the manual to Renegade, & it looks to resemble Double Dragon II's style of controls. Renegade is also by Taito.
Not really. Renegade is made by Technos and is really Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun. Double Dragon is, of course, also made by Technos. Target: Renegade was made by Software Creations and seems like they were hired by Taito to release a crappy pseudo-sequel.
Earth Defense Force 2017
Best underated game on the Xbox 360.
Super Mario Advance (GBA)
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 (ARC) Beat at least 15 times this week.

No More Heroes 2
Pokemon Emerald (GBA) Nice to play this, reminds me of red and blue that I always used to play.
Pirate Gameboy cart! I played Mighty Final Fight.
apparently I lost my four hours of data in emerald >:(
I notice that it has a friggin' battery in it and now I'm not sure if I acidentally turned it off while it was saving or if the stupid battery ran out. Anyone know how long GBA games batteries last? The game was made in 2005 so it shouldn't be dead yet >:(
They usually last years and years. Some just go bad though. Don't worry, if you have the tools to open one up, the batteries are really easy to replace, since you can just use a regular ol' watch battery.
If it was a pirate cart it'd get the save screwed up quite easily.
It's easy to notice by the transparent cart colour and at the bottom.
Tekken 4 (PS2)
Seems fine now. Think I just mixed up gtext boxes and turned it off at the wrong time. Got back my 4 hours of data and some in less time in emerald.
just beat No More Heroes 2
that last boss fight was long and intense!
FIFA Street (Xbox)
Dang, that was one awesome match I had.
FIFA Street much better than Urban Freestyle Soccer. Playing football matches in non-official grounds is so kewl, lol. :P
Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA)
Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels.
DS charger broke and I have an original DS and those are off the market so I'm screwed :-(

Left 4 Dead (XBL)
I only play the two left 4 dead games on my 360 since no other game interests me from this gen but if anyone one wants to play I'm all for it!
Excitebike 64. All I want to do is unlock the NES game.
exitebike 64 was great ???
Left 4 Dead(XBL) - bought that crash course thing or whatever
Doom (XBLA) - played through the first episode a few times co-operatively.
Arcana Heart (PS2)
Mario Kart 64! Woohoo!
SMB2j (GBA)
Wolfenstein 3D (XBLA) - Completed the first episode and was shocked at how much more difficult the first boss was compared to all the ports :o
Doom (XBLA) - played through part of the first episode on Hurt me plenty, trying to get an acheivement.
Super Metroid - I just went through the ancient ruins area of Norfair (the place that has the same music as Magmoor Caverns in Prime), & I'm amazed that I did that all in one sitting! :o
That place was tough! Several times I was at my last block of health: I was almost drowned/melted in lava, killed by Ridley, melted in more lava, crushed by a rock, then I found the way out & wouldn't stop until I was out of there & found a save point.
I would've been screwed if it weren't for that energy tank hidden down there.
Mulan (SGB) Made a go to ending code.
I just finished Super Metroid;
Spoiler
It's so sad that baby Metroid had to die! Why? :'( I called it MM, for mini-Metroid. Oh, MM!
Yoshi's Safari, emulated.
I'm surprised I've never heard of this game before until today, and it's pretty good. Might just have to shell out for a Super Scope and the game cart.
Power Blade (NES) - beat on Expert! =3
Wolfenstein 3d (XBLA) - Beat episode 2 on "don't hurt me".

It's even harder on the Disk System.
E+ is still fun to play. You would think that Famicom and Disk System games are in place of NES games ut you would be mistaken.
Ghouls n Ghosts (GEN) - Beat!

Because there's a language option on the start screen - is it virtually the exact same game?

MrMrDNA and I played through most of episode 1 of Doom on XBLA. Much fun!
and of course Left 4 Dead some more... I am amazed at how long this is holding my attention. Online is sweet...
yeah, lol. I play it aa lot and now I'm good. Only died a few times but that sucks when you get stuck with a pistol from death. (You can die an infinite amount of times on multiplayer but you lose everything.
I'll probably have a whole list of GC games I played on Monday. Best system to bring for travel in the car.
Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith. Got to level 6 on hard. Im getting pretty good.
Edit: Legend of Zelda (NES), played for one hour, got past 3 dungeons and got the better sword. Man, its been a while since I played this one.
Pacman on google.com, happy 30th anniversary my hungry yellow friend!
/\ Same! :D
The first few stages of Heretic (PC)
Rock Band (PS2) on a big outdoor screen. Played drums for the first time -- kinda fun, but not fun enough to go buy Rock Band.
Games played today:
Touhou 08: Imperishable Night - Beat!
Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu (NES) - Beat, played on GBA pirate cart.
Castlevania (NES) - Beat, played on GBA pirate cart.
Tiny Toon Adventures (Genesis)

The first few stages of Heretic (PC)
Heretic, I absolutely love that game. I have not heard anyone make a mention of it in like a decade.
went to the lake and brought my GC since it's the easiest to transport.
SSBM (GC)
Sim City 2000 (PC) - this is a CLASSIC game for the lake. Only reason my gramps still has the windows 95 PC us because we love that game. It was built in to the PC.
Tetris NES
Left 4 Dead 2 (X360) - bought the passing which is the new campaign.
Sonic 2 (XBLA) - beat a friend online to see who could make it furthest in 3o mins...
Me = Metropolis
Him = Hill Top
Played Tennis (GB) in the car today. Pretty fun game on my 40-in-1 multi.
Pokemon HeartGold. Traded some Pokemon to a friend and battled him. Won both times. ;D
Art Style: Light Trax on the Wii. It's basically a remake of Dotstream for the GBA. If you like minimalist graphics and fun/simple gameplay, it's definitely worth the $5 price tag. Music is great, too.
Sonic Adventure 2 (DC)
Mortal Kombat 2 (GB)
Call of Duty: World at War (360)
I found out how to mod offline, so me and some friends played split-screen Nazi Zombies.
Doom (XBLA) - played a 4-player co-op on episode 1 with MrDNA, Tankexmortis and some other guy on my friends list. Originally played co-op with just tank, he hadn't played it in 12 years so I put us on episode 2's boss fight on nightmare for laughs :D
Doom II (XBLA) - This just came out so only one of my friends has it on XBL, but no one from FW. I played to level 14 and love the extremity of it.
Left 4 Dead (X360) - with my bro
Worms (XBLA) - love the remake, lacking in weapons but fun online plus hundreds of millions of different map combos!

Doom [...] he hadn't played it in 12 years
Now I feel old. :-[
Tried out Return To Castle Wolfenstein and Midtown Madness 2 in stereoscopic 3D. ;D
Yeah, I felt old too when I realized that. Doom is that old? That's nuts.
Played some of the games on my Power Joy. I think the last one I tried was Bird Week. What a great game. You can fly up AND down!
Oh, and Cam3ron, I should be getting L4D2 soon from a game trading site.
Hey, I played some power joy too. Bird week is a pretty odd game. It's ok I guess.
QuoteOh, and Cam3ron, I should be getting L4D2 soon from a game trading site.
Awesome, unfortunately that F-ing Ethan620 retard is stocking us 24/7 on L4D games and killing us. This retard pisses me off like he has nothing better to do. You were there in the party. So all i got done today was failed attempts at L$d from this retard. Did this to me a month ago too and my online friends and I are going to just join his games and murder him now. What a joke. Left 4 Dead 1 was what I played for that crap :-X
Contra Rebirth (Wii Ware)
Loved the action and the remixed soundtrack. The plot is very weird, for some reason "che guevara" is the president of The Galaxy or something like that ;D
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Going through it a second time on a higher difficulty.
Team Fortress 2 (360) It's so different from other FPSes. I want to learn how to play it, but it just seems like I would be really frustrated with it.
Sonic Adventure 2 (dreamcast)
Little Samson on normal... Got to the final boss and couldn't beat it (annoying that the final boss level makes you repeat the level if you lose [unlike other levels] and you don't regain health/characters :/ Great game though ;D
Will try again (thankfully there's a simple password system).
Bioshock (X360) - friends pressured me to play it to play it since they knew I ownded it... Just friggin' creepy game...
...and just beat Little Samson ;)
Ninja Gaiden (NES) - Beat! Feels good, been a while since I beat this game.

I've never beaten that one without cheating to some degree :(
Yeah, it gets annoying with all the birds knocking you off the ledges >:(
Last played some Bible Adventures. (NES). Beat David and Goliath. Fun stuff. :P
Doom II - Lol, it is so hilarious, playing online and there is these beasts that pretty much ignite you and try to blow you up. To do this, they raise their arms up and me and my buddy have a running joke where it is "Praising god". Everytime we see it we yell out "Praise the lord!" It's freaking hilarious when you're there :D
Edit: This level is not from doom II but showcases the enemies I mean:

That Doom vid is funny. What's with the music?

That was a video of final doom which was the real Doom III. Because of the primitive engine for 96 or whenever it was made, fans hated it and gave it a low score while doom fans such as myself loved it. It was a brutally hard game though - not to mention it had 2 games in one pretty much: Plutonia and TNT which each had like 31 levels! So like 62 levels. It was meant to be a challenging and outrageous game.
As for the music, it was all recycled from the original games and that was the "You beat the game" music from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZlm2K66iCs
After the text you will hear the music.
id was always doing stuff like that so the fact they put the Bunny music in that level always makes me chuckle.
Speaking of which though, check out the last level of Plutonia (final Doom) on nightmare :o

Mine Storm (Vectrex)
Kirby's Adventure (NES)
Worms II (XBLA) - so much better than original on XBLA. Played this game with tankexmortis and he probably killed tons of germans with Donkey statues...
Worms (XBLA) - most my friends only have this one still.
Just Cause 2 DEMO (PS3)
Those 30 mins are very enjoyable, the gamer can free roam during that time or brake whatever he/she wants.
Until I get GTA IV, JC2 DEMO has to make up for it.
Contra arcade (XBLA) - love all the online classics on 360 ;D
Split/Second (360) From the videos I'd seen (admittedly not very many), and just from how it sounded, I figured this would be more of a Burnout kind of game. It's not. It's nice though because it's not just a standard racing game. Yeah, the explosions are pretty generic things, but I think it's an okay game. I wouldn't have it if Walmart had Burnout Paradise though. :-[
Action 52 Genesis. This game doesn't suck as much as the NES version does, but it still sucks.
played some disk system games but sadly the belt finally broke. I have broke disk system now sob sob...
Beat all of these games yesterday:
Kirby's Adventure (NES)
Gremlins 2 (NES)
Valis III (GEN)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
FINALLY DONE WITH HOSHI NO KIRBY! :D
I'm still battling away at that. It gets hard!
Kirby: Nightmare In Dreamland (GBA)
Revenge of Shinobi (GEN)
X-Men: Children of the Atom (SAT)
Edit: I just finished Baby Moses for the NES (on Bible Adventures) Interesting game........ :)
Been switching between Rock Band 2 and Modern Warfare 2 (360)
Just beat David and Goliath on Bible Adventures! dang that last level/boss was tough. But the power of the lord got me through it. Hallelujah.
Zeliard for DOS, AWESOME GAME!!
Ikaruga (Gamecube)
Even when I set the controls, A was still replaced with R. :P
Whomp 'Em (NES)
Got to the final boss and died. The last level is too long so I just turned off the NES. This game really needs a password system.
Kung-Fu (NES) My score was 213140
Mickey's Speedway U.S.A. I was surprised to learn that this came out after Diddy Kong Racing, it's so much worse yet it's also made by Rare.

That's what I like about Mario 13 is that it let's you choose your level. Unless you have that though, then I agree that game should have a password feature.
Is that a hack of the same game? Whomp 'Em (Saiyuki World 2) lets you play the first six levels in any order you want (ala Megaman) and then has a final stage.

Yeah. You get to choose whichever level you want though. Including the final stage.
Animal Crossing City Folk
Pokonyan! Game Boy
Whats that? It sounds epic
It's a fun little Plat-former based off of the 1993 anime. I only bought this obscure game since it completed my SGB music games. If you find it, you should get it. Highly recommended. The only downside is the password system.
Portal (PC), completed the game in one sitting. ::)
What?! How long did you play? I know I sound incredibly stupid when I say this but Portal is challenging! :(
Quote from: nintendodork on June 27, 2010, 12:29:51 am
How long did you play?
About 3 hours, with a bathroom break or two in between. It was the first thing I played on my new PC (and the most newfangled PC game I've played in ages), and it was addicting enough to keep me playing until completion. I did spend quite a bit of time throwing all of the lab's computers and stuff down the poison lake and making some of them fall endlessly down a loop of portals, though. ::)
LOL. I love throwing stuff endlessly through Portals. On The Orange Box for 360, I just got the red Portal gun. :( Anyway, the last game I played, and am currently playing, is Transformice; this really weird browser game where you're a mouse and have to get to the cheese and then get back to a door. http://www.transformice.com/en2/
Castelian. (NES). Worst game I have ever played.
Castelian isn't that bad once you get used to the timing/controls.
Pilotwings to make a music modifier code. :)
SuperTux 2
Zeliard(PC) what an awesome game! A TRUE MASTERPIECE!
Somari
Metroid Prime 2 Echoes on WII
I love the Atmoshpere in the Prime series,.
Quantum of Solace(PS3)
Great ripoff of COD4
Modern Warfare 2 (360)
Gears of War 2(360) omg I am obsessed with this game! MUST KILL MONSTERS!!
Kirby's Dreamland 2 (GB)
Street fighter alpha 3 (DC)
Red Dead Redemption. I got this game on wednesday and can't stop playing it. I recommend it to anyone who likes very free, open-world games. You don't need to play Revolver to understand Redemption either. The story is pretty straightforward. Very nice, very different game from most 360/PS3 games.
Mario 16
TMNT 4(SNES) BEAT ONCE MORE! Then some Gears of War 2(360) and finally Conquer Online(PC) yesss I am back in that game!!
Do you have a 360 now FamicomFreak? If you do, make sure you post your gamertag in the gamertag thread. ;)
I've been alternating between Red Dead Redemption and Call of Duty: World at War. Not even close to beating RDR yet, and it's still extremely awesome, and I've been playing Nazi Zombies with my cousins lately.
no sir I don't I am saving up to get me the new model, then I will go kill online! MUAHAHHAHAHAH!
Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit for you Europeans). I was about to go to sleep - I've been having severe insomnia trouble recently - but I decided I needed to stay up for another hour or so, so I fired up a recent Steam acquisition. It turned out that it was an absolutely breathtakingly amazing game, so much so that I played through the entire game in one sitting. I'm now planning on buying a PS3 just so I can play its successor, Heavy Rain.
online-roblox
actual video games-The Legend of Zelda:A Link to the Past
At the arcade:
Marvel Vs. Capcom 2

Hoping to play Theme Park and Sim City 2000 on saturn soon.
Modern warfare 2 (360)
Metal slug 3 (360)
Earthbound.
Super C Arcade (X360) - The arcade version is difficult.
Finally finished Castlevania without using a game genie. The final boss battle took me a really long time to figure out and it didn't help that I was getting tired. Definitely one of the most difficult games I've ever played.
Zippy Race (MAME). Haven't played this in a while so it took me a few tries before I could reach my previous "proficiency" at this game. :P
Kirby's Dreamland (GB)
Metro 2033 for the PC. Took me a heck of a long time to find the hidden ending.
Hexen (N64) - pretty decent doom like game but I don't seem to ever get any sort of projectile gun, just my fists...
Fight Night: Round 3 (X360)
Little Remo the Child Abuser.

I seriously love this game!
Last DS game played was DQ IX. Last NES game was Pipe Dream and before that was Mega Man 3. I played Ys 3 on Super Famicom as well today. And i'm slowly getting through Final Fantasy 7, after disc 1 the story dropped and I lost the urge to play.
i played call of duty world at war (basically CoD 5 for PS2), got all the way to betio island.....and then died
Laser - how are you finding DQIX?

the atari 2600 was a very early 8 bit system as i have read on numerous online sources
Ok. Didn't think you knew that. :P I hear people a lot of the time calling the Atari an 8 bit system just because it's old.
The Atari 2600 uses an 8 bit microprocessor (a cut down version of the 6502) so it technically is an 8 bit system, but when people mention "Atari 8 bit" they're usually referring to Atari's home computer line (400-800-XL-XE).

Currently working on Final Fantasy XIII. I've beaten it, but trying to get the Platinum Trophy on my PS3. It takes FOREVER to farm gil to get all the stuff you need to upgrade. I think I have 140 hours on the game or something crazy. I have no idea how people have managed to get their Platinum's in less than 100 hours. Maybe I just have awful drop-rates, lol.

Red Dead Redemption (360). I modified my multiplayer save for gold guns and a zombie horse! (which is strangely the fastest horse in the game even though it only has three legs. :D)
Just did a full play through of Mega Man 1 on my NES. Had some of my ebay auctions end at crappy prices and needed to take out my frustrations on robots.
Beat Mega Man 8! :o
I also played some SMB256. If you select "L-1" you can get to the final castle! :o And actually beat it! (http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr343/JediQuestMaster/icon_eek.gif) Don't go down any pipes, though.
Edit: X-1 takes you straight to the final castle.

Modern Wafare 2. The UMP45 is such an overpowered gun. Makes for easy levels. ;D
Also, what's the deal with Minecraft? It doesn't look fun at all.
It doesn't look fun, but when you start to get deep into the game you get hooked. It's like a drug when you find gold or diamonds, and it's also neat to fashion your own house/castle/fort whatever.
I'd describe it as playing with legos.

VVVVVV - http://thelettervsixtim.es (http://thelettervsixtim.es)
Bought and played through it yesterday. Still have a few areas left to explore and 10 more coins to collect, so I'm not done with it yet. Kinda short, but pretty awesome all the way through. Definitely worth $5.

Best disc on Gamecube, it makes owning a Gamecube worthwhile along with the Gameboy Player, Megaman Collection, Megaman X Collection, Sonic Collection and the other Sonic Collection.
Those 6 things are what make Gamecube awesome in my opinion.

I hate sony altogether, I'm sorry. I will never support them much.

But it's worth it. ;)
I only played for about an hour, but I think that a beat 'em up is pretty much the only thing Namco could've gone with the series, but I thought it was pretty fun. Something that kind of helps you in the beginning if you ever get stuck is that you can press a button that looks directly at your objective so you know what you're supposed to do if you ever get lost. The different kinds of moves you can do all work pretty well, and I think the button combinations are easy to remember. After you beat down an enemy so much, you can do these final moves (I forgot the actual name) that are sort of like quick-time events where you have to press two buttons in X amount of seconds, and then after you do the final move (which is usually some form of severe mutilation), you can sometimes use the limb(s) you tore off as weapons. As a bonus, since I bought it from Best Buy, it came with a code to download all three original Splatterhouse games and choose them from the main menu (as opposed to exclusive Xbox Live Arcade deals or something)
I definitely think it's worth the buy, especially since we probably won't see another Splatterhouse game for awhile.
Top Gear Rally on the N64 fun for a "drift to survive" racing game
yeah, although very different from the awesome snes series (especially 3000) top gear rally is pretty good. 3000 is still the best racing game ever imo, lol.

Working with emulators for psp. I can emulate GBA perfectly but I am having trouble with snes and several roms. Anyone has any insight into this it would be great :)
iPods aren't that great for emulation. The most common problem I have with any emulator one the iPod is the amount of space on the screen. There's hardly ever enough space for both the screen and the controls. I suppose they'd be okay for portables like the Game Boy original and the Game Boy Color, but stuff like the NES and SNES are barely comfortably playable. I would much rather use a PSP for portable emulation than an iPod any day.
I agree, PSP would make the best solution for emulation...I miss my phat psp :(
Yeah, I've been doing more research and testing today. My friend told me to do this. So far I've got like 5 emulators for Nes, GB/GBC, Snes, GBA & N64.
I've tested all now except GB but NES is perfect, GBA is perfect, Snes has to tamper with settings for every game and some won't launch (NHL 96) while others aren't showing sprites (SOS). I've only tested a handful of games on snes but only one runs 100% perfect without changing settings. N64 I've tried my 2 racing games I had on my pc and they both work with some littleframe skips and disabled sound.

Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (GBC on Gamecube via Gameboy Player)
ugh gremlin you just love to rub it in my face! I WANT THE DAMN GAMECUBE WITH GAMEBOY PLAYER!!
In other news, last game I played was Mega Man X8 (PS2)
I am sorry, I don't mean to rub it in your face. I just love using it to play Gameboy games on my TV. They are all fullscreen playable, even the old original Gameboy games.
It wasn't an expensive system, I am sure you will find one.
I do have one sir but you know the situation so I'm better off finding one. Well I do have the gameboy player now all I need are the disk and cube.
True, the cube should be no more then $5-$12 complete with 1 controller, and the discs are still selling brand new on Nintendo.com for $15!
Edit-

That sucks. I just hate how they broke phase.
Well, it's still not considered to be the 4th game in the original series. Otherwise they probably would've called it DKC4.
What sets Donkey Kong 64 from the Country series?
It's not a 2D sidescroller.
So? Mortal Kombat 4 is 3D. :P
well that too. I love DK64, probably looks like I'm forgetting it but I'm actually kind of disappointed to hear many thought dk64 was mediocre so I just need to clarify. Also, that sucks that people think that. Brilliant game.

The Gameboy Camera is so much more then just a camera... it has 3 games, a drawing function, clipart for pictures, and a simple music maker. Its almost like a Gameboy operating system expansion pack.

You're certainly not the only one, and I see no problems with it.
Aside from being able to play rare games, save states are nice to use when you want to play a game through your TV but don't have a lot of time to get through the whole game and instead need to break up playing time.
Quote from: Mi5terDNA on January 26, 2011, 07:14:15 amthink I'm the only one on the boards using emulators to play rare/expensive games. ::)
You're certainly not but hacking PS3 is a problem, and hopefully Sony will ban your console from accessing PSS/Online play.
By banning console, it'll be permanently banned no way back.
Sony needs to do as Microsoft did and everything will return to normal but the clowns will still play on their pirated PS3.
Even if Sony bans the consoles, they won't be very hard to unban, If it's this easy to hack, it shouldn't be very hard to unban it, either.

Try to unban an Xbox 360 then tell me how easy it was.
That's the ideal ban to ban the pirates. They don't deserve to play online, play PS3 games or anything else.
All they're doing is using someone else's content illegally.
That's why I analogized that if the PS3 is that easy to hack in the first place, it must be easy to unban. The Xbox is hard enough to hack in the first place, because in order to JTAG one, you have to build a cable yourself and do some stuff (I don't know the specifics) to the board just to get it to work for a little while. All the PS3 needs to be hacked is some data on a flash drive.

PS3 banhammers are already active, it's noted to be on Call of Duty Black Ops but it's probably in more games.
The pirates are gonna regret they hacked their PS3's now.
Never mind. You're completely missing my point.

wrecking crew and donkey kong ( famicombox ) :D
Chrono Trigger (PS1) - playing this game for the first time believe it or not. So much loading just for menus though... 4-5 seconds each time you bring up the menu, enter a new area, and a second or two before a battle starts as well. I can tolerate it I guess.
You should play either the SNES version or the NDS version sir. They are much better! Last game I played was Breath of Fire IV (PS1)
Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest
A few SNES games and Game Boy games using my Japanese Super Game Boy 1.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D ;D. i was quite impressed with the game right off the bat, only a few things bothered me like how they didnt keep mario and the others in the window in the castle (instead its world 1-1) and also how when you play the ocarina you use the buttons rather than the control pad.
Peggle for Android. I think PopCap is my new favorite indie developer.
Ocarina of time 3D, beat the forest temple and got epona!

Install the game data on the HDD, and then the disc will only be used as a form of verification that you own the game.
Installing data on HDD = faster, easier, quiet.

Dragonball Z not sure which one but its for PS2

If it was 2D mode then possibly it was:
- Budokai (1,2,3)
- Infinite World
Or in 3D mode then:
- Budokai Tenkaichi (1,2,3)
- Super Dragon Ball Z
Note: Infinite World is kind of free roam, but not totally.
Borrowed la noire today, only played about 5 minutes of it but looks fantastic :star: :star: :star:

I remember the first boss was that evil barrel

I never played it again till today haha.
Currently chipping away at Avadon: The Black Fortress (PC) Great indie CRPG with interesting character/enemy encounters, and very solid writing. Only about three hours in, but really enjoying it.
Kirby: Mass Attack demo (DS). Fun, but easy. I guess that's Kirby for you.
Goldeneye. I like it. :)
Super Dimension Fortress Macross; a surprisingly good space shooter.
Starfox
This game is pure nostalgia for me, I'm instantly taken back to sitting in my friend's room playing this for hours.
Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, Return to Danger, and Ultimate Challenge on the Wii.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction (Xbox 360)
Pretty neat game and very different from the last one, liked it very much, tho, I finished the story mode there's still others to enjoy and its fun doesn't end with the story wrapping up. ;D
Edit:
Later ~ PS3 demos: Sonic Generations and NFS the Run, both demos, were quite impressive! :o

Quote from: Wikipedia
The Invincibility Leaf, which appears after the player dies five times in a level, gives Mario invincibility and Tanooki Suit abilities, whilst the P-Wing, which appears after the player dies ten times in a level, sends the player right to the end of the level.
I don't like this. If you're that bad at a level, maybe you should just practice on other ones, or figure out a better strategy to get through it, instead of just waiting to die a bunch of times. :P
Wow, I really hope that's an optional thing. I die way more than that in some Mario games.
Donkey Kong Country (SNES)

I think it's optional.
I haven't seen those items in my game, but in the TV commercials I saw that those blocks pop up at the beginning of the level and you can also choose not to pick them.
Hmm...? I remember that I did some work on that a while ago, when you sent me an early image for it, but found no way to implement the entire game in NROM without adding hardware switches to change ROMs, and even then there are effects that won't work properly.
I searched for your SMB2-NROM thread to see if it's been updated, but I can't find the thread at all.
Did you delete it? I'm curious exactly what you played...

Sonic 3D Blast. Not really the best Sonic game. Barely engrossing, not very fun and the music sucks. One redeeming thing about the game is well... the intro sequence. In order to save my sanity I think I will put the game away with the other Genesis/Megadrive/Sega 32x/bootleg Sega CD games.

Anyway - AWESOME game!

Shantae - scaling Mount Pointy ;D
Ishido on the Game Boy, and I actually managed to win. ;D
Super Mario 3D Land
I'm really enjoying the fact all of these new games I want are coming out at the SAME TIME. Exactly one week from now, I will have spent more money on modern video games than I have in the past year (in fact I probably already have). The games I've bought are Modern Warfare 3, SM3DL, Sonic Generations, and I'll be getting Mario Kart 7 next week.
I'm also considering Sonic Generations on the 3DS because it's actually different from the console versions, and I'm also asking for Rocksmith for Christmas. :star:
I opened up my Sport VII again today because oddly enough I have begun to want to play the game Fry Egg and also Fever Move. :crazy:
Mario Kart 7! :D
Columns on the Sega 6-pak cart with my new official Sega 6-button controller. I hate the D-PAD.

Spartan X 2 :)
Final Fantasy. Still grinding at the first village entrance. I'm getting bored already.

Resident Evil: Revelations demo (3DS)
Graphics are really nice! I can't tell if the controls are clunky or if it's just a RE thing.
Baten Kaitos (GC)
Man, this game is pretty.
Super Street Fighter 4 (360), just some ranked matches. Only notable accomplishment in this one was beating the 5th best Gen player in the word.
Oh yeah, and I beat Whomp 'Em for the NES last night.
super mario bros. 3 in a house party with friends last week. it was a crazy day for us :D
Retro Game Challenge: Haggleman.

Mushihimesama Futari (360)
Metroid Other M and Nights - Journey of Dreams
the latter sat on my shelf for monts now. I'm impressed by all those amazing water effects

A little bit of Legacy of the Wizard, NES. Nice music, it´s a Falcom port after all...
Race Driver GRID on 360 LIVE.
There's always some f-word morons who try to ruin the game for me/others and so the best thing is to switch to another lobby.
Regardless of that, I love playing GRID online.
Minecraft and Ys: The Oath in Felghana... on Steam. I love XSEED.
Tetris DX on a SGB2 on a 30" CRT
my favorite game right now
I also played 1 game of League of Legends to try out the new Blitzcrank buffs, that was cool
and of course... always developing my own games :crazy:
Completed: Prince of Persia 2008 on Xbox 360
Wow, awesome game, got a shitload of achievements too. ;D
Edit: I'm just gonna complete MW2 instead of Sonic Unleashed / Mindjack, 'cos with MW2 I'm actually gonna enjoy playing the game. SU/MJ.. What shitty games, SU's great but only if it had Day Act missions.
Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
Holy crap the controls are confusing on this. I hope it gets less annoying the more you use it, otherwise there's no way I'm gonna finish it :(

I was inspired to try out Cyraid on Game Boy (actually the Japanese copy that is called Bakuretsu Senshi Warrior name but is exactly the same I think). I don't know if I made it to the last boss but I died all my lives there and now I need to take a break.

Star Trek TNG on the NES for me... made unnecessarily difficult by the malfunctioning up button on my controller :(
Still New Super Mario Bros. 2

My favourite Wii game. Alex/Polymar, pure greatness.
Last game I played was Shinobi on SMS.
Metroid: Other M. It's pretty good so far... kinda creepy in bits... :-[
Played some Super Street Fighter IV matches against Famiac. It went well I think.

Victory is inevitable for the Sumo King.
I finally got to beating Batman Arkham City today. I still cannot believe they killed off Joker. At first I thought it was the "bad ending" and that I did something wrong. But, after doing some research, come to find out that nope. It's the real ending....
I have finally got red alert game and i last played this game.
rock man 2 ( FC ) really hard ;D
Felt inspired by stealthlurker to play Mickey Tokyo Disneyland ("Tokyo Disneyland: Mickey no Cinderella Shiro Mystery Tour") on game boy. (on real cart mind you, I play nothing else) Not sure if I missed something because it seemed very simple. Still , I give the game 4/5. It was tedious, no challenge at all, lame music, and short. But it has really excellent graphics and it's nice with a map quest, and shows completion in percentage. For a game that is called Tokyo Disneyland I think it nails it. It has respawning bats, talking mirrors, crumbling skeletons, jumping skulls, balloons, spikes that don't kill you instantly, and music that doesn't stop when you die. :D edit: Oh, and it has a password system.
WWE '12. I don't expect many of you to get this, as I don't know how many of you are wrestling fans, but it's nice to sit down with a few friends, create a few arenas, and pretend like you're simulating a real life WWE "Superstar" from NXT, back to FCW because he can't work the "Titan Style", then job to Brodus Clay on Raw, Big Show on Smackdown, and then linger in FCW until you're wished well on your future endeavors....
The Terminator for Sega CD. Was able to get back my old copy of it from a couple years ago.... masterpiece of a game. It's the reason the Sega CD is my 2nd favourite console, after the divine Famicom, of course.
Oh...my...GOD! I love that game!
As for me, the last game I played was New Super Mario Bros 2. I'm waaaaayyyy behind lmao. Some of my friends have 200,000 coins already! I guess I'm sort of holding off really playing it until I get my XL next month.
It's a great game for sure, the SCD doesn't deserve the hate it gets.
I have a total of 1 DS game, and it's New SMB. :(
Especially if you have an EverDrive MD and can change the region at will lmao
I need to get that. Wouldn't mind playing me some Ninja Warrior for SCD.
Try getting them from Stone Age Gamer. I've bought several carts for me and referred my friends to him. Other than the aggravation over the final details over the release of the SD2SNES(which even he admitted he could've done better), I've had NO issues with any of his items. But, he does sell out quick, so I'd follow his Facebook page because he announces then when he's got more in.
Parodius SNES. such a fun happy game!
My local mall has a tiny arcade! I did not know this! They had a Strikers 1945 (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9848) cabinet, which I dumped 75 cents into. They replaced the joysticks with a flight-stick thing with a trigger to fire, which sucked because the game does not have an auto fire. Try dodging bullet patterns while constantly flicking your index finger :P

Ah man, mall arcades are amazing. (Much of the time) I pretty much grew up at one. But playing Strikers with that kinda layout sounds painful.
Last game I played was Super Street Fighter 4, where I am now the 5th highest ranked E. Honda player in North America. Yay.
L.A. Noire.
Was getting in my car parked on the side of the street when a random patrol car rounded the corner and ran me over. Killed me too, game over and everything.
Assholes, I'm supposed to be on your side >:(
Welcome to L.A. Noire, ulera! I'm a big fan of the game myself. It does get frustrating at times(especially the shooting and chasing parts), but once you overlook that, it's a great game. I'd get the Complete Edition for the best experience.
I just found it funny because I wasn't even in a combat situation, I was just leaving a store.

MANX TT Superbike arcade in our local cinema. The Cologne Cinedome has several old nice Sega arcade games, next time I'll play 24hours of LeMans or Star Wars Arcade again :D

I've been addicted to this new indie game called FTL. It's a space combat turn strategy game, it's VERY fun.
The Walking Dead(PS3)
I can't wait for season 3!
Me and the wife were playing Fruit Ninja HD. We were passing the iPad around at my friend's house last night. All trying to beat each others high scores. Now we're in the 400 point range in arcade mode.
But, on the other hand, my 3DS XL showed up, so now it's time to play some Dream Drop Distance and actually be able to see the screen!
Galaga '88 (PC-Engine)
271050 points!
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Shin Chan 4 (Game Boy)
Shinobi (Master System)
Altered Beast (Master System)
Valis III (Genesis)
Super Mario All Stars (SNES)
Mushihimesama Futari (360)
Today I gamed like there was no tomorrow.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I played Super Street Fighter 4 but I play that daily.
Re-playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D on my new 3DS XL. The game looks even better with the bigger screen!
The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave (3DS demo)
A basic and fun dungeon crawler with a few gimmicks thrown in. Definitely gonna pick this one up when it's released.
Space Invaders for the Atari 2600.
My sister had an S-Video mod board installed in it for my Birthday, so I figure that was a good game to break it in with ;D
The demo for Thearhythm Final Fantasy. I have the game on order, but it's currently out of stock. I can't WAIT until it gets here! It IS addictive!
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!
(http://i.imgur.com/YUn9S.png)
Half-Life 1. Ended up playing to On A Rail, which if I recall is about a third of the way through the game.
Resident Evil 6 demo
I'm a Resident Evil fanboy, but this got me really excited!
Borrowing my friend's Kinect and it's pretty good. But, it seems to be a pain sometimes to calibrate. Certain times, it's dead accurate. I was able to actually drive in Forza Motorsport and get first place, yet I have a hard time getting the fucking camera out in Disneyland Adventures.
Also, the store over here got Resident Evil 6(the mom and pop stores usually get games early) and I played the first stage. It's okay, but a little too reliant on QTE for my tastes. Maybe it will change. I don't know...
I beat Kirby's Dreamland on the Kirby 25th anniversary disc last weekend. This past week, I've been putzing around on the original MSX version of Metal Gear that's included on MGS3's bonus disc. It's pretty hard!
I just played my copy of Super Donkey Kong 3 for the first time today! Bought it NOS a few years ago and wanted to hold off til I had a Super Famicom to do it proper. Silly, I know, but it was kinda neat.
Fun game.
I just beat Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit) on the Virtual Console TWICE! 8)
I played it through once, but couldn't get the 6 Chaos Emeralds. Second run through, I managed to get all 6 Emeralds and beat the game without using a single continue. It was intense, but I still had 8 lives left by the time I beat it. Pretty sweet!!
Club Nintendo Picross (3DS)
As much fun as every Picross so far! Maybe even more because of all the Nintendo motifs! ;D
Marvel vs Capcom
Easily one of the best fighting games ever.
I'll be damned if MGS: Peace Walker isn't the best handheld game I've ever played.
2 Hours of Chrono Trigger on the VC today.
Pokemon Black 2. I'm actually very surprised at how different it is from Black 1. I'm very happy with it. :)

IT FINALLY CAME! True to my words, that's what I've been playing. Also, Pokemon White Version 2 and Doom 3 BFG Edition.
Currently playing MEGAMAN ZERO for the GBA.
This game is one of the smoothest playing action games I have ever experienced but I had to give up; the boss battles are really hard and you run out of lives fast.
I'm now playing it on an emulator so I can cheat.
What I'm wondering though; is it just me that sucks or is it difficult for everyone?
I don't doubt my skills since I have beaten MegaMan 1-7 but MegaMan Zero just made me feel ashamed of myself :-\
Mario's Picross (GB) on the 3DS

It is difficult indeed! Much more than any of the other Megaman series. But isn't it boring if you use cheats? The difficulty feels overwhelming at first but it gets easier as you get used to the game.
Just play the bosses over and over again until you learn their patterns and when you know that you can beat them and are short on lives just reload your save file and then beat him in one go. Don't save if you are short on lives or it will be harder to do the same thing on later bosses. It's definitely beatable but I had to sacrifice a cyber elf or two to make a subtank and more energy.
Chrono Trigger done, now moving on to the original Legend of Zelda. :)

You're right - that is how I should be playing it but every time you reload the save file you have to play through the stage again from the beginning to get back to the boss and that is not cool. If I could save right before the boss I would gladly play fair.
But it is definitely still fun. On the emu I can save state at the start of the boss battle and I only reload the state when I die, so I still have to legitimately learn the patterns and attacks in order to beat them. So the emu fixes the only problem I have and makes me really appreciate how great it is.

Yeah you kind of have to learn the stage as well but that is usually easier than learning the boss' pattern at least.
But it's good that you have such good self-discipline! If I'm able to cheat I eventually tend to breach the restrictions that I set on myself and use it a lot more than I meant to. Especially when the game gets harder such as near the end.
Mega Man Legends
I did some side-quests and obtained the Shining-Laser and the Omni-Unit Omega. Still want to do some weapon upgrades and quests I probably missed before I finally kick Juno's ass

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. I like to pick this up from time to time. Play through a season and then set it down for a while. I've been playing it pretty much since it came out, haha.
Skyrim. Annoyingly I can't seem to interact with anything because it keeps saying "Cannot use while in combat" despite the 100% tranquil environment,

So, are you excited for the sequel later this year? I am...
Kind of.
It looks very interesting. I think it's out in 5 days in Japan. (Oct. 31)
I just finished Paper Mario. God damn, that was emotional.
Not the game itself, but what it represents. It's my favorite game purely on nostalgia. It's been eleven years since I started my save file, and things are much different than they were, and what I thought they would be. 1,000 miles away from home, two mother-type figures gone, but there was always Paper Mario there.
Anyway, enough gushing. Good game. Really good.
Dark Souls, can't get enough... Akumajo Densetsu between summons/invasions :-[
Marvel vs Capcom 3
Punch-Out for Wii
actually really damn good! ;D well pleased as I paid about £5 for it
Mii StreetPass Plaza on the 3DS. (Does that count?)
I was at NekoCon this weekend and got over 100 StreetPass tags! :o
I'm still waiting to get 100 Streetpass hits on one day. The most I've gotten was about 80 during a festival. :-[
Never heard about NekoCon, but it sounds very nice. ;D
I traveled the whole country with my 3DS, not a single streetpass. Funny feature feature for a country where nobody can really afford a 3DS (pun intended).
Yeah, it's really geared towards people in big cities of the main markets (Japan, NA, UK and central Europe).
Sometimes even I visit crowded stores and don't get a single hit.
Sweden is also no good for these kind of functions in games. :'(
Too small population I guess.
Last game I played was Legend of Zelda: Master Quest. Never had the time to finish this before. Gonna try to catch the Hylian Loach!
Animal Crossing (3DS)
So much fun! ;D
I've been so addicted to Assassin's Creed III lately it's terrible. I don't it's that popular in Japan though.
Super Street Fighter IV ranked matches. Starting to lose interest in the game entirely.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Bonk's Adventure (GB) on my SP!
And I finally reached A+ rank with E. Honda on Super Street Fighter IV, a goal I've had for a while. Now I guess I just quit playing stupid ranked matches so I can focus on things that are actually fun and/or productive.
Zelda 3 for the famicom :p
SD Hiryu No Ken
Max Payne 3, for about 10 minutes. Those visual effects make me dizzy, and I'm not going to play anymore.
;DBioHazard 6 whole afternoon today..

I picked it up a while it and only played about an hour so far.I think I was burned out from Skyrim. I know there a totally different experience but I played that thing for like 200 hours its rough starting a new rpg after just playing one for so damn long it was fun but still a little bit of a timesuck :-[
A Sailor Moon fighting game for 3DO, not sure of the exact title.

Rockin' Kats for NES, beat it, including the extra stage. The extra stage was just brutal.
Saints Row 3 (360) Started playing my Xbox again now that I have some friends to play with IRL.
mario kart 7 online
This forum is still going after I've disappeared for 3 years or so? Christ.
Last game I've played would be Centipede for the SEGA Dreamcast.
Of course this forum is still going.

Diablo II LOD
I am more a console games guy but work often at the PC and since over 10 years D2 is just a perfect game to make a pause ..Torchlight II is great for that as well
Tasmania Story on a Game Boy multicart... I'll try to get a real copy of this game, because I really like it.
Super Street Fighter IV. Starting to get really good as Blanka.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Been replaying Heroes and might and magic 3.. forgot how addicting it is..
Played the Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon S fighting game for 3DO. (Man I love my Hori fightpad for that) Solid fighting game, though the voice clips were like nails on a chalkboard to me. Sailor Pluto seems to be the Zangief of the game, with a little bit of Honda influence. She has a command grab, and a really quick anti air move which is preformed by tapping punch, but it acts like Gief's lariat. Sailor Venus seems to be like Dhalsim, with a heavy emphasis on zoning and keep away, she even has a slide like Sim. Sailor Moon is like the basic Ryu fireball/uppercut character.
Sailor Chibimoon is definitely Blanka. Has an attack where she rolls, has an attack that slides under fireballs, small hitbox so certain things go over her, etc.
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Golden Axe and Ghouls 'N Ghosts, both on my Sega Master System.
Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the SMS is great! :D
I played that instead of the Genesis version.
Yes! It is my favorite edition of the game. I have considered getting a PSP just to play Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins, though.
Link's Awakening DX (3DS)
Land of Illusion (Master System)
Edit: Beat Sonic the Hedgehog (Master System) too.
Just finished Fire Emblem Awakening. Marth was so overpowered with an average of 40 in all stats.
Kung Fu Kid (Master System) - Beat it, wonderful game that almost acts as Sega's version of Spartan X, although many aspects of it remind me more of Kaiktetsu Yanchamaru, or Super Chinese, both on Famicom.
The Cyber Shinobi (Master System) - Played a few stages, too tired to beat it at the moment, plus I wasn't enjoying it too much.
Vampire Killer on Megadrive - love it more and more.
Mega Man 3 (NES)
Kabuki Quantum Fighter (NES)
I just beat Link's Awakening DX on the 3DS.
I checked some online walkthroughs to make sure getting all the heart pieces.
I noticed that in the trading sequence in the English version you have to find the Mermaid's necklace. :upsetroll:
In the Japanese version you have to bring her bra back! ;D
Dear Nintendo! Why did you change the bra to a necklace? :crazy:
Played a Super Street Fighter IV ranked match. So utterly typical of the average online game, my first match was against a Ryu player who quit right as I was about to beat him, and he was kind enough to send me the following message:
(http://gyazo.com/564d6c0e3e8cf4984825ae0d83c12d55.png?1363736306)

Bionic Commando (NES)
Gimmick! (Famicom)
Doraemon 2 (Game boy)
Rockman 4 (Famicom)
Also played a bit of Super Mario Bros 3.
Luigi's Mansion 2
Operation C
People say Contra is hard & THIS game is easy?! There are so many WTF moments in Operation C:
-constantly-spawning enemies... I mean, I'll be standing at the edge of the screen and just hold B & they just keep coming! WTF!
-trying to jump the tiny waterfall gap before the third level boss only to realize the physics are jank. WTF!
-the third level boss - WTF!
-the lasers on the elevator on the final mission - I saw a warning laser, so I ducked, but then another laser comes out below it! WTF! I even tried jumping it, but it was still there when I landed! WTF!
-I have to press START twice on the title screen... WTF!
Gotta recommend Wizorb for iOS, an app. Imagine an SNES RPG w Arkanoid-style battle scenes.
Finished Operation C. Last Area wasn't disappointing & awesome final boss! :o
Megumi Rescue / Sega Mark III
Contra - Hard Corps / Sega Mega Drive
Edit: I just beat Heiankyo Alien New mode on the Gameboy. Yay!
Retro City Rampage. I love all the different colour palettes in there!
Super Mario 3D Land and having a great time with it. :mario:
Also played through and beat Argos no Senshi for the umpteenth time today. Why did they change the music for the NES version? :crazy:
New Super Mario Bros. U
ilomilo I love this game it's so beautiful, kiddy, puzzly and lovable. There's nothing anyone can hate about. It's perfect as a relaxing game for everyone, pretty much.
For 400 MSP it was a brilliant deal, glad I bought it. Along with Trials HD, it looks easy but it's very challenging and fun to play.
I'm currently playing Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked on the 3DS. I originally played and beat the original on the DS, but I enjoyed it so much, I figured hell, why not play through it again. I like the voice acting in it so far.
Animal Crossing (3DS)
Very good for relaxing.

Beat Shatterhand for the NES... and just when I thought Bucky O'Hare was the hardest game ever made. Shatterhand is truly brutal because your character is an absolute weakling... and I love it. Great game.
Nice, Toneman.
Secret of Mana is very high in my all-time top 10!
Awesome game.
Mightly Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition (http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/k285w84WqIRjUU1H67ww7V2xYQjLhNux) on the Wii U. Really cute and fun game so far, although I wonder how frustrating the later levels are going to be.
Also played more Nintendoland. Finally beat Donkey Kong Crash Course...
Spoiler
Well, the first stage of it, anyway :D
Rock Man 3
Beat Shatterhand again (this time without using a continue, yay), and then I played through another Jaleco release for NES, Whomp 'Em. Both incredible games.

I played the RetroZone Donkey Kong Pie Foundry cart with an NES advantage tonight. Bliss :)
Just got done beating Power Blade for NES... I love this game.
Played through quite a few games on my NES yesterday:
Shatterhand
The Flintstones: Rescue of Dino and Hoppy
Kid Niki: Radical Ninja
Rockin' Kats

Played a few rounds of NintendoLand with the wifey a couple days ago. We love the train competition.
Also, I've been working through Fire Emblem: Awakening here and there. Quite fun! I think I'm on Chapter 11 (maybe?).
Shadow of the Ninja.... I had to attempt it twice in a row before completion, as I hadn't played this game in a while. My first performance was absolutely pitiful, and I ended up running out of continues at the final boss... so started from the beginning, and this time managed to clear the game only using one continue. (At the stage 3 boss. Fuck that guy.) Next up: Sunsoft's Batman.
Pikmin 2 and beated it. The final boss was quite challenging. Now I'm ready for Pikmin 3!

Mega Man X2 (SNES)
Thanks, Nightstar!
Ohh so you were the buyer of his MMX2. I played some Pocket Monsters Green! ^_^
Yes he was! And I'm glad it arrived safe and sound. Last game I played was Kabuki Quantum Fighter on the NES, it rocks!
Yep, completed my SNES MMX trilogy. Now I just need Mega Man 7 and Rockman/MegaMan and Bass and I'll have all the classic Mega Man games for NES, GB, and SNES.
Oh, and the last game I played? Mega Man X2. I've sunk about three hours into it between last night and this morning. I'm still struggling to find/reach some of the power-ups hidden in the Maverick stages.
Post Merge: May 08, 2013, 05:33:23 pm
I just beat Mega Man X2. It was a pretty solid game, but not quite as awesome as the first Mega Man X. I'll admit I did resort to an online FAQ to find the last few of those power-ups. A couple of those were really cryptic and/or stupidly hard to reach.
Renegade. I quit on the 4th level; not because of difficulty or anything, but because the entire level is one giant maze and it's annoying as hell. :upsetroll:
I've beaten Renegade once. As I recall, the only difficulty in the "maze" of a final stage comes from getting sloppy from frustration at re-fighting the same scrubs over and over again.
Good to hear you put Mega Man X2 to better use than I did, I don't recall beating it. I couldn't really get into the Mega Man X games, even though I enjoy much of the music in the first MMX. For some reason 8-bit games are all that can really keep my attention.
I've always loved Mega Man, and I did get the first Mega Man X for the first time when I was in my teens. I was blown away by the improvements in gameplay and storytelling. Honestly, the first time I bought an SNES was because 1) the local gamestore had them on clearance for $25 (this would've probably been the height of the N64/PS1 era) and 2) So I could play the Mega Man X series. As it turned out, even then X2 and X3 were selling for about $30 apiece, and that was more than too-young-to-have-a-job me could afford.
I had played about 2/3 of the way through X2 previously on the Mega Man X Collection re-release on PS2, but I never finished the game. (Maybe because it just wasn't the same playing those games on a CD with a Sony controller in my hand.)
8-bit games are definitely my favorite, and probably always will be. The main reason I started collecting SNES and GB titles a couple of years ago was just to pick up the still-2D sequels to my NES original franchises. I haven't really branched out beyond that, aside from a few obvious classics of the platform like Starfox and Chrono Trigger. And honestly, the SNES collection won't likely ever be more than an extension of my NES collection.
Silent Assault. An awful Contra ripoff, but then it's so short and easy that I find it to be better than Super Contra X at least.
Hi, now I'm playing Zombies ate my neighbours of SNES. I think it's a great game. :bub:
Silent Assault was the first unlicensed NES game I ever beat, and on only the second or third time I played it. It's a typical piece of crap from Color Dreams. There are a few exceptions from them that don't suck, but SA isn't one of them.
I also agree that Zombies Ate My Neighbors is fun. I had it years ago on the SNES, and have it now for the Genesis.
I last played Bayou Billy (NES) and Mad City (Famicom) back-to-back to look at their differences. I was really only able to compare the first level of each, though. I wasn't nearly tough enough to beat the first level of Bayou Billy today. The US version is vastly more frustrating. It's definitely not one of Konami's stronger efforts, on either side of the Pacific, but I do like the light gun stages.

Technically, it's by Sachen but then a big chunk of their games are pretty awful as well. The only good ones that I remember are Metal Fighter and Super Pang.
Right. But I played it on a US Color Dreams cart, so I always associate it with them. Are you playing on a Sachen cart (60 or 72 pins)? I played a copy of Metal Fighter a few times, and I thought it sucked too. (It was also a baby-blue Color Dreams cart.)
Last game I played was Terra Cresta on the NES.

I used an emulator. :octorok:
The last game I played was Space Shuttle Exploration. It sucks. :P
I think Space Shuttle Project is decent. It certainly won't satisfy an action fan, but it's pretty good for what it is.
I just got done having testing my birthday presents from the girlfriend. I got Arkanoid: Doh it Again and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy for the SNES.

Space Shuttle Exploration is a completely different game. ;) I'd link a video showing what it is if there was one.
I should probably try Space Shuttle Project at some point to see if it's any good.
Are any of you folks fond of Master Chu & The Drunkard Hu? Out of my Color Dreams games (all two of them) I actually had a lot of fun playing MC&TDH. Loved the Chinese mythological theme of it.
My mistake, Cheetahmen. What platform is that for, anyway? I can't find anything with that title on GameFAQs.
I had a Master Chu cart and box briefly. I found it slightly above-average by Color Dreams standards, but not good enough to keep. I resold it. The Color Dreams/Wisdom Tree carts I've found collection-worthy are Baby Boomer, Crystal Mines, and Spiritual Warfare. I'm also holding a copy of P'Radikus Conflict, and am tempted to keep it as well. (I only keep the games I'll actually play.)
I'll be playing some new stuff tonight. I got my awaited package from manuel (with Pizza Pop! and Paaman 2), and I also picked up a few Genesis CIBs (including Battletoads) from a game store in town.
Ahh, Master Chu was actually created originally by Sachen. (Well, Joyvan. At least I think they're the same company.) My other Color Dreams cart is Captain Comic, which I think is... decent at best. Definitely didn't amuse me as much as Master Chu did.
Have fun with Pizza Pop as I did! That game is incredible, I'm telling ya. I've always wanted to play a Paaman game (either 1 or 2) so let me know if it's any good.

I thought it was one of the few Color Dreams games that didn't suck. (The other one being Crystal Mines, not counting games developed by Sachen)
I was just playing King's Knight. It's a good game, but the last level is pretty damn hard.
I'm currently playing Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The "New" (Easy) mode only makes it slightly less frustrating.
Captain Comic is so-so; kind of a poor man's Metroid. Arguably better graphics at times, but the game is far less satisfying. I've actually played all three cart-variants: blue shell/standard label, blue shell/upside-down label, and black shell. It's the only black CD cart I've ever come across in person, which isn't surprising given that it's by far the most common. (This is excluding black-shelled Wisdom Tree carts, which are actually the norm.)
I found King's Knight pretty so-so, actually. King's Knight is a decent example of why Square nearly flopped as a company, and why it was good of them to switch to RPGs instead.
I just sunk a couple of hours into P'Radikus Conflict for NES. I got to the final mission, but the difficulty jumps pretty fast and I'm too tired to finish it. Maybe next time...
I also played some Bad Street Brawler (NES) earlier. Anyone here ever played it with a Power Glove? I have a Power Glove, but I've been too lazy to set it all up for this game. It's not a very good game, but it's one of those so-dumb-it's-funny kind of experiences.
99 Action & Arcade, mainly just because of how awful it is. I'll try to do a video on it soon, but all I'll say is that it's sort of like the 2008 equivalent of Action 52. :bomb:
I just spent some time with Uncharted Waters for the NES. I'm trying to decide if I'd want to keep the game. I've mostly been playing a lot of poker in the tavern. I think it's by far the most interesting of Koei's NES releases, but that's admittedly not saying much.
Got the urge to play some shooters tonight, so I did the unthinkable and hooked up some consoles that aren't Famicom. I played the following:
Mushihimesama Futari (XBOX 360) Beat original arcade mode on Maniac difficulty.
Raiden Project (PS1) Played some Raiden II on this.
It's definitely strange to hear nightstar playing current-gen games. I just had my first taste of Pilotwings for the SNES. I'd heard good things about this, so I picked one up when I saw it cheap. It's not bad, but I'm not sure if I'll get into it.
Ax Battler, probably one of the few Game Gear games that isn't backported from the Mega Drive. From what I've played, it's good, but it feels like a slightly simplified Zelda II.

Trust me dude, the list of recent games I like is a very, very short one. It's pretty much just Danmaku shooters (such as ESPGaluda II and Mushihimesama Futari on 360), Super Street Fighter IV, and uhh... Grand Theft Auto San Andreas for PS2. And that's about it. Oh and Arcana Heart for PS2, that game is incredible.
nightstar,
Hey, no need to explain yourself. I've got a PS2 with about 50 PS2 games and 50 PS1 games. Admittedly, I don't play it that much, and about 1/3 of my games are re-releases of vintage arcade games and the like. Another 1/3 or so are sequels to old-school franchises, like Final Fantasy X (which I really enjoyed). But I've also enjoyed the GTA 3 family of games, among a few other modern(-ish) choices. But like you, I'm far more passionate for the good ol' stuff.
Cheetahmen,
I've never played that one. I've got a few Game Gear games, but I'd like them more if there was a way to play them on a TV. Sega dropped the ball not making an accessory like the Super Game Boy. Admittedly, I will actually use a Game Gear on occasion, which is much more than I'll say for a vintage Game Boy. Those screens are a joke!
I last played a little Terra Cresta on my NES. I'm kind of torn right now on whether this is collection-worthy. The upgrades are pretty cool, but the game is pretty tough and repetitive. I'm not huge on overhead shmups, so I only tend to keep my absolute favorites.
With a little inspiration from nightstar, I just broke out my copy of Panic Restaurant (NES) and gave it a whirl. I met an icy end in the freezer stage. Those vents were not kind.
Ah, you made it to the freezer! I am proud to have inspired you to play that wonderful game. Although I love every single aspect of it, stage 5 is a definite candidate for my favorite part of the game. Right from the start, those ice-skating ice cream cones? Probably the most hilarious enemy sprite I've ever seen in a video game, the animation of them is brilliant, and they make me laugh every single time I play. The traps in that stage are ingenious, from the Popsicles that shoot from the ground and push you into the razor-sharp icicles, to the hanging frozen fish which try landing on Cookie. The boss is great too, just like all the bosses in Gourmet World. Such creativity and charm in that game, I'd say the only game which outclasses it in that regard is Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2.... something about the graphics and music of Karakuri Land is just so bizarrely charming to me. Wonderful game, anyway. Hopefully next time you'll complete the game, and reclaim EaTen to its rightful owner.
I'm playing Bucky O' Hare on Famicom right now.
I just played Panic Restaurant again. I beat it this time. I had one game over, mostly due to the tight platforming required in the sewer stage. It's a good challenge to have to do a half-height jump across a barely-doable distance. I actually dumped the final boss (Ohdove... not one of the better named arch-enemies in NES history) on my first try. Overall the game was short, but sweet.
I have been playing Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Grafitti a whole lot these days, I want to beat it with the full ending.

Once you get the hang of those few tricky jumps, the game is very easy to no-death run. Doing a no-hit run is a bit more difficult though. And you might already know this, but in the Japanese version, the final boss was named "Hors D'Oeuvre". Not sure how that got lost in translation.
Last game I played was Ninja Gaiden Shadow (Game Boy) on the plane ride... going 7 days without Famicom will be a nightmare.
Project X Zone 3DS demo.
My first playthrough was pretty crazy, as I didn't really know what was going on. All I know is that I was able to summon Ulala from Space Channel 5, and she summed Opa Opa from Fantasy Zone and the guy from Space Harrier. It was awesome, and if this is the kind of thing that happens in these "blah X blah" type of games, I can totally understand why Japan makes so many of them.
For my second playthrough, I managed to find the game's (all-text) tutorial buried in the menus, so I was able to play it while having some idea what I was doing.
Earlier, I played some Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque, the PAL NES version of Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu. It's tough to play an RPG in a language I don't fully understand, but at least with French I'm able to get pretty close because of similarities to English and Spanish (which I also know some of).
I'm still trying to decide if this game is worth holding on to. I'm leaning toward reselling it, but I haven't given up on it yet. I'm not quite sure I understand the game. Does anyone here enjoy this game? Anybody have any tips?
Good luck on figuring that out, Nerdy. A couple years ago I had a few RPGs on Famicom, and I just couldn't play them whatsoever. Not that I'm into RPGs anyway, but in a language you don't know, it'd just be impossible. Or you could use GameFAQs to guide you through the game, but I'm guessing that'd potentially take the fun out of it.
Last game I played was Super Street Fighter IV at GameWorks arcade... last night I battled three very skilled opponents in rotation, and got a massive winstreak going as Balrog! One of the challengers was getting extremely mad, slamming the buttons and yelling "WHAT THE FUCK" every time I landed damage on him... oh well. It was fun.
I just played some Cobra Command (NES). I actually reached the last stage with only a handful of deaths, but I game-overed at what I think may be the final boss. This game's last stage is as tough as it is weird.
I last played a bit of Mega Man X (SNES). I picked up a spare SNES at a thrift shop, and I figured I should test the controllers with a game I was familiar with.
Post Merge: June 15, 2013, 10:25:41 am
I started my day by testing three NES spares I'd picked up at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago: California Games, Trojan, and Athena. Blech. I'm sure you can see why I wasn't in a hurry to take care of those. They'll all be getting resold, and hopefully soon.
After that, I needed something better. I pulled my copy of Terminator 2 for the NES, to see if I can beat it. I've recently started participating in NintendoAge's group effort to beat every NES game this year, and they still need this one knocked out. I've been playing this for 20 years, and owned a copy continuously for almost that long, but I've never been able to finish it.
As usual, I game-overred in the last stage. Some of the platforming in the steel mill is super-precise, and most of it is done over instant-death molten steel pools. There's this one particular jump that requires a long-jump over said death pool, onto a tiny platform being lowered by a chain. I think you can only successfully make it when the platform is all the way down, but it's continuously moving up and down while fireballs spew from the death pool up toward the platform. I practically have to put my Terminator's first foot off the ledge to even make the long-jump to begin with, and sometimes I move a little too far to the left and just walk into the pool. And even when you do reach the platform, you must quickly long-jump left to another platform to avoid being instantly crushed to death by the platform moving back into the wall (its highest up-point). This hazard cost me three of the four lives I had left at that point.
I actually survived that bastard jump once, and I can probably count the number of times I've done that in my lifetime on one hand. I then proceeded to die quickly on the next tough-ass jump, which is immediately to the left of the safe platform beyond the platform-on-a-chain. There's a chained platform spinning side-to-side, but most of it is off-screen by even the far-left edge of the safe platform. It's almost a blind jump, and I mis-timed, so I fell into the molten steel. Only to find that I respawn BEFORE the platform lowered from a chain. Ugh.
I'll have to pick this up again later, and see if I can do better.
Aleste on Mark III with my SG1000 Racing Wheel. It controlled like a crude mix between RC plane and Etch a Sketch and I didnt't even get through a quarter of the first stage, but it's quite fun^^
Retro City Rampage, just too good. So KonamÃsme!
I spent the last hour or so with some Sqoon on the NES. I'm trying to beat this game for the first time, and for the NA challenge. I didn't get it done, but I'm getting better. I reached Phase 6 on one playthrough, and managed to score over 400,000 points. Not bad, but not good enough either. It's sad this game is so obscure; it's probably the best early shooter on the FC/NES (it was released in 1986).
I just spent over 3 hours on one game of Sqoon for the NES. I... think... I beat the game, but I honestly didn't see the end screen. (The game loops forever, but supposedly you get a different text message after you complete the fourth loop where the aliens claim to want to surrender. Thus, beating the fourth loop is considered beating the game).
It was pretty insane, considering I'd never beaten the first loop before. But I got into a zone early in the second loop and just starting going nuts. I went five or six levels without getting hit. I racked up about 15 extra lives, but I wasn't sure of the number because the live counter replaces numbers with pictures after 9. (I had a white and pink dot frequently, but I was a couple above that for a while.) Honestly, the loops are kind of pointless since they don't seem to get any harder. The enemies don't change; they stay the same in number, formation, speed... everything. Even the hidden extra lives appear in the same place of the level every time you loop through it.
3 hours later, confident I'd beaten it, and pretty tired of this repetitive game. my game slipped and I game-overed. But I finished with 5,003,330 points. Which is super nuts, considering the enemies that swim at you are only worth 50-100 points apiece. The ground targets are only worth 1,000 each, and there aren't a ton of them in every level.
You've been doing well, Nerdy. I've been extremely sick over the past few days so I've been slacking, gaming-wise.
I honestly woke up with pain and stiffness in my right arm this morning, possibly from the relentless tap-tap-tapping of a 3 1/2 hour Sqoon marathon without a turbo controller (as per NA rules). Yeah, I'm old.
I was going to take a day off from videogames today to heal up, but I was bored and had some time to kill. So, I made a logical choice. I played a bit of Ms. Pac-Man (licensed Namco version for the NES), which doesn't require the use of my right arm at all. I just had to steer her movement, with my left hand on the D-pad.
found myself back to playing mario party 2 japanese version. nearly at the 40,000 mark for coins in the bank. i am starting to think this is my favorite N64 game, even passing SM64 :-\
I just had a bit of a marathon with KickMaster (NES). I'm trying to knock it out for the NA challenge. The game is actually pretty easy up to the last level, but I eventually reached the final boss. I came close a couple of times, but it's late and I'm pretty burned out. I'll try it again tomorrow; we'll see if I can rack up a little more mana before the nastiness of the last level. The magic is very helpful, but they're pretty stingy about handing out the mana to use it.
Ive been messing around with my N64 and Gameshark Pro 3.3 lately.
I made a Gameshark code that I like to call Mitch Rules (Mitchell is my name) It is for the USA version of Super Mario 64

This is why I own a Gameshark :)
I've been playing LOZ - Minish cap again on my DS LIte. It has some frustrating moments, but really is a masterpiece and a visual treat.
I've put a few hours into Wario's Woods (NES) last night and this afternoon. I was trying to see if I could beat this for the NA challenge, but I can't get past the upper 40s stages in Game A. I'm just not fast enough yet. I may keep hacking away at this for a while, but I'll probably play some other things too.
I'm playing zoo tycoon on my laptop and animal crossing wild world on my ds. I'm considering setting up the famicom on the big teev but I need some more power outlets ::) ???
I got to play some NES for the first time in a couple of days. I started off my day with some Wario's Woods. I've managed to break into the upper 50s on Game A. I also tested my new copies of Last Starfighter (still a piece of crap!) and Yo! Noid. I maxed out on stage 3. I can't quite tell if the hit detection is a little off, or if I'm just not doing something right when I jump on enemies.

B-but... m-my advice... :'( Remember, hit them with the BACK wheels!
I'll be honest: I didn't want to read it that closely. I prefer to figure out games on my own. I try not to resort to walkthroughs until I'm madly frustrated with a game. Back wheels, huh? That's kind of dumb, but I'll try to remember that. Didn't you say something about the graphics changes in the NES version being kind of screwy with this game a little while back?
Ah, I totally respect that. I'm the same way when I first play a game, I love learning them. Yeah it is kinda screwy, but it's the same way in Hanamaru. The graphical deceptions in Yo! Noid are mainly attributed to the fact that there is no hitbox where Noid's ears are, so sometimes his long bunny ears can throw you off. In the later stages you have to deal with a lot of airborne enemies, so you'll want to learn his hitbox well.
It might be a bit before I get back to Yo! Noid. I sunk a couple more hours into Wario's Woods. I put a pretty nice dent into it, but I've still got more than 30 stages left apiece in both games A and B (and then the time trials after that). I am really loving this game. The time just flies when I power this sucker up.
Last night I decided to play my NES for the first time in a while, I beat Castlevania, and NInja Gaiden II. Forgot how great Ninja Gaiden II was, I'd also consider it to be the hardest in the trilogy.
Just played more Wario's Woods. I've been seriously addicted to this for the last few days. I've reached stage 75 on game A, 70 on game B, and have a silver medal in the Easy Time Trial.
I've started playing pokemon black on my ds last night. These pokemon games tend to be repetitive though
My obsession with Wario's Woods has continue over the last couple of days. I reached level 85 on game A last night, and also picked up a bronze medal in the "normal" time trials. I put in a couple of hours tonight, but didn't get anything accomplished.
Sniper Elite Zombie.. on Steam.. Love their summer sale now.
G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor (NES)
More Wario's Woods (NES). Today was a good day: I hit stage 95 on Game A, and 80 on Game B. (Five levels up better on each.) I also shaved a few seconds off my Normal Time Trial.
Fallout: New Vegas - Ultimate Edition
Recently started Castlevania III! :o
This game is so great! Passwords between every stage helps a lot too. Constantly spawning enemies are still annoying though. ???
The CastleVania series is always a good choice. I haven't given a really serious effort on the third one yet, despite owning it for 15 years. I keep telling myself to beat the first one first, and it hasn't happened yet.
I just had my first serious, try-to-beat playthrough of Ninja Crusaders (NES). Wow, did that game humble me. I got no further than the third boss. I'll have to try this one again later. Well, back to more Wario's Woods.
Ninja Crusaders is a magnificent game! I don't know about you, but I like to use the high-damage but short-ranged spear up until 5-2, when I switch to the shuriken... but I grab the kusarigama before going into the final boss. The spear destroys bosses extremely quickly. I believe the third boss is the one you have to crouch the first hit, then quickly jump the second? If so, I'd recommend you learn that timing really well, because the final boss uses a similar pattern.
Yeah, the weapons will definitely take some getting used to. I fought the first boss with the staff, and was stunned when I killed it two blows. I was kind of liking the whip, but it just doesn't do enough damage. I'll have to be more careful with the weapons the next time I play it.
Yes, also something to keep in mind in case you didn't know, collecting a weapon which you're already using will give you a free 1-Up. This will give you more chances to learn the boss patterns.
Okay, Alucard is totally useless. Can anyone tell me why I even bothered bringing him along? ???
I had a good evening with Wario's Woods. I now have a Gold medal in the Normal Time Trial, to go along with my Gold in Easy. I then played some Game B and got all the way to level 97. I'll now be able to continue from level 95. I just need to beat the last five stages of Game A and Game B and shave 15:15 off my time in the Hard Time Trial and I'll have 100% completion of the game.
Oh I see, he can fly.
I also see Konami took inspiration from the Mega Man games in how if you don't have said flying ability, life is going to be hell from here on out.
Yeah he is a bit hard to use at first but his flying ability are very handy.
Last game I played: Portrait of Ruin
I like this game more than Dawn of Sorrow (and maybe about par with Aria of Sorrow). You can use both the vampire killer AND other weapons!
I had another good run on Wario's Woods yesterday. I wasn't getting anything done on Game B, so I took a crack at the Hard Time Trials. I wound up knocking almost 12 minutes off my time, which puts me within 3 1/2 minutes of a Gold medal (and with that, total completion of that entire section of the game). It was definitely something of a confidence booster, since I was able to complete the last (five-round) section of that Time Trial four out of five times (and topped my best time three times). It took me more than a dozen tries to even complete it the first time about a week or so ago, so it was a pretty good measuring stick of my improvements at this game.
Good stuff, Nerdy. You seem to have a great deal of passion for that game. I like it, I found the bosses to be rather difficult. I suck at puzzle games.
I last played some Super Street Fighter 4 ranked matches on 360... mostly used T. Hawk, Guile and Balrog, and I'd say I won about 95% of my matches. Pretty good considering it was the first time I've used the 360 pad for SSF4 in a long time.
I keep swapping between keitai denjuu telefang power and pokemon jade (keitai denjuu telefang speed)
Super Mario 64. It's been a while since I played through this so I figured I might as well. ;)
I played a couple hours more of Wario's Woods today. I got a Gold Medal in the Hard Time Trials, so I'm finished with that whole section of the game. But I'm still sucking at the last few stages of both Game A and B.
@nightstar
Really, you struggle with the bosses in Wario's Woods? I've beaten 8 of the 9 I've faced on the first try. The first boss killed me the first time I fought it, but only because I didn't realize it would teleport and kill you if it respawned on top of me. I offed the bastard on the second try. I almost think the B Game is easier than the A game because of the pud bosses. But those last five levels are just tough as hell. You have to be blazing fast, and you're pretty much doomed if you make a mistake in the first minute or two.
More Castlevania III: Wow, I didn't think they'd seriously reuse enemies & make me fight them one after another. :upsetroll: Seriously douchebag move there; it's starting to get really monotonous.
Seriously, now I'm not sure if I even want to play it a second time. :-\
:redcart:
Daiku no Gen San ;D
I love it
I played some B-Game Wario's Woods (NES) this afternoon, trying to beat the final phase of the game and claim total completion. I actually beat stage 98 for the first time, and faced the final Wario boss. And... he killed me. I was immobilized by that squatting while a bomb goes off deal, and he teleported right on top of me for an instant kill. Bastard! I'll try again tomorrow.
I'm going to take another poke at Ninja Crusaders (NES) before bed tonight. I played that yesterday, and reached 5-2 (which was a little better than my first playthrough last week).
Polarity on Ouya
Art of Balance Touch
More addicting than I expected.
I played Ninja Crusaders (NES) before bed. I reached the final boss, but only took down his first form before he ended my last life. Sure, there are infinite continues, but I'd had enough of cursing at the TV for one day. Tough game! I'll pick it up again today.
I am proud! I think it'll take you a few tries before you get the hang of his second form's pattern... let me know if you want some help with that.
The difficulty is wicked in this game, to the point that memorizing the enemies is practically essential. This would be a fun game to play with two players, but I haven't had the opportunity yet. I think I actually like the katana best as far as weapons go. It's hard to hit the more erratic enemies with it, but it's so satisfying to kill enemies with one hit and bosses with two.
And to think, I've not even been using all the controls in the game! I read the reviews for it on GameFAQs, and I only then discovered that the ninja has a shape-shifting ability. I don't have a manual for my copy (yet), and I'm so frantic while playing, so how was I supposed to know that I could turn into an animal avatar by holding the attack button down for three seconds? I'm going to try to reach the final boss with the sword, and then turn into the dragon to kick his ass. That'd be a pretty dramatic end, I think. (Almost like Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, but without the terrible acting.)
Oh wow... good luck with that, my friend. I'll have to try the same, sometime. I usually stick with the spear, but for the final stage I grab the shuriken in the beginning, then I grab the kusarigama before the final boss. The transformations are some of the coolest aspects of Ninja Crusaders.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf. According to the 3DS Activity Log, I've spent 164 hours on it so far (since 6/9/13). I have no life! :help:
Kamaitachi no Yoru 8)
Worms Armageddon :gamer:
I messed around with Sonic 2 and gunstar heroes a bit before bed last night.
I took another stab at Ninja Crusaders (NES) today. I powered through most of the game with the katana, but I wasn't able to clear some of the more chaotic bits of the last stage so I used the dragon transformation to power through it and get to the final boss. The first form is pretty easy, but I can't take care of that second form yet. I continued and played through the last stage with shuriken, and that was a bit easier, but the whip just doesn't do enough damage to bosses. I game-overred yet again.
Frustrated and demoralized, I switched over to Super Mario Bros 3. I walked into the first goomba in the game and died. It was that kind of hour for me. I shaped up and powered through the first three worlds, before I got a little tired of the game and used warp whistles to jump to World 8. I was sloppy, and it frustrated me further, but I did beat Bowser and won the game yet again.
I tested a bunch of SNES games I've bought over the last couple of weeks yesterday. That included the very fun Gradius III, which was a spare I came across in a collection I bought. I also played Mario's Time Machine for the first time, and that surfing bit is very confusing considering it's not even in the NES version I've played a few times before. I couldn't even figure it out; I filled up my mushroom collecting bar a few times, but nothing happened.
But I mainly went through a bunch of sports games that I've gathered for repro donors; sadly those Maddens and Griffeys didn't already have saved games on them, so I wound up having to screw with them long enough to save something to them. (And I'll have to do it again today to see if the saved games are still there.)
I saved Bonkers for last, and I'm glad I did. I'd never played it before, but I had some fun with it. Another successful collaboration between Capcom and Disney. I wasn't entirely comfortable with the dash mechanics quite yet, but it has the makings of a very enjoyable game. Anyone else here like Bonkers?
After that, I also had another shot at Ninja Crusaders (NES). I blitzed to the last level pretty easily, struggled a bit there, and ultimately died on the final boss several times. I'll keep working on it.
Dota 2.. not bad i guess lol
I tested a few more relatively new arrivals on the SNES front. Retested some sports junk/donors to see if the save batteries were still working. Played a couple levels of Super Mario World. Played some Super Punch-Out for the first time in almost a year. (I still suck at Dragon Chan.) Finished up with a little Tecmo Super Bowl. I'm definitely starting to feel the excitement of football season approaching, even if I'm strictly a college football guy.
My last play.

The Wonderful 101 demo. It's really fun once you figure out what's going on!
I spent most of my game time today testing out SNES games; not the most fun thing in the world, given how many of them were junk sports games. But my last game of the evening was Tetris Blast for the Game Boy. It was my first time playing it, and it was fun. I really got into for a half-hour or so.
Last I played was Astro Boy Omega Factor - still as good as I remember. Been trying to get Nightstar to play it, if you like 3 eyes Boy this is a must!!!
I had my first taste of two good puzzle games today: Mole Mania (GB) and Tetris Attack (SNES). Tetris Attack really has nothing to do with Tetris, but was still very addictive.
I just beat the elite 4 on pokemon black and soon i'm going to try pokemon black 2. I feel kinda racist only playing the black ones
Earlier, I tried my hand at Fire Hawk and the Terminator on the NES. Both are games that need to be beaten for the NintendoAge challenge, and both are games I have some familiarity with. I'll have to keep practicing, as I didn't do too well at either.
Then I busted out some Tecmo Super Bowl and played four more games into season mode as the Packers. After smashing the Bucs, I tied the Dolphins. I don't think I'd ever tied a game in Tecmo before. I then blew out the Rams and beat the Cowboys by two touchdowns. These Packers have almost no ground game, but Sterling Sharpe is an elite receiver, and I do a lot of damage throwing down the field at him.

I couldn't help but notice that Hosuke Sharaku himself actually appears in that game... one of these days I've got to play it. I think I might try it out on emulator before I buy it.
Last non-Famicom game I played: Super Street Fighter IV. Just some ranked matches with T. Hawk...
Order & Chaos Online on Ouya!
Played The Terminator a couple of times today, and reached stage 5. I'm going to keep working on this one until it's beaten. When I'd had enough of that crap for the day, I played a couple of games of Tecmo Super Bowl.
I wound up losing my first game of the season, in a rematch with the Bucs (and I beat them 58-7 in the first game!). So much for relaxation and confidence building! I swear, there's some kind of luck mechanism in that game, because some days you get all the breaks and others... the breaks get you.
I did bounce back with a blowout over the Jets and a close win over the Buffalo Bills. I'm pretty terrible at run defense in the game, but I held Thurman Thomas to 18 yards for the game. He's so overpowered that Tecmo tournaments usually ban players from playing as the Bills, just as the Raiders are off-limits because of Bo Jackson.
Well, I finished my season with Green Bay in Tecmo Super Bowl tonight. After a 12-3-1 regular season, I barely beat Washington in the Wild Card round of the playoffs, before getting smashed by San Francisco in the Divisional Round. After a bit of online research, it seems Green Bay is one of the weakest teams in the game, which makes sense given I have only one good offensive player and not a lot of help on defense, either. I'll retool my offensive playbook and play another season with Green Bay to see if I can do any better.
Testing ny toasters last night I played Dr Mario then the next thing I know it's 3am :(
I took another stab at Firehawk (NES) today, since I'm trying to beat it for the NA challenge. I reached level 6 (of 7) today, which is two stages better than my previous best. Hopefully that means I can finish it off soon.
@security16,
After that, I decided to have some fun with something I knew a little better. I had a new copy of Dr. Mario I needed to test, so I popped that in and played the first 12 stages on HI speed. It had been a bit too long since I'd last played that.
Then I popped in a Super Mario/Duck Hunt cart. I hit Duck Hunt first, to make sure it loaded properly. Then I played some Super Mario. Beat the game twice in a row; I was a bit rusty, having not played it in a bit, so I did die a few times.
I think i'm gonna get the superfamicom out and test my superscope. Had to test the toasters because i'm selling one I also found I had a chinese multicart with all sorts of games on it
A lot of Net Yaroze games for the PS1. ;)
I took another stab at beating Firehawk (NES). Again, I crashed and burned in Stage 6. This game gets tough! And it's a lot like a Konami shooter (e.g.: Gradius), in that you lose a life, and you lose all of your upgrades. And then, the game is just that much harder.
Completed Duck Tales 2 on Normal with 3 pieces of the treasure map. I'll have to go back & collect the rest, on Difficult this time. :crazy:
Open Arena. I come back to this game every once in a while, It's mostly dead but I finally found a server with the best configuration that speeds up gameplay like woah. http://www.dkfurious.com/forums/
@Jedi
Nice. I've only beaten that on Easy. I'll have to revisit that sometime soon on the higher difficulties.
I played two games of Tecmo Super Bowl to cap off my night. Two blowout wins, and I'm up to 7-1 on the season. Not bad for the Packers.

Crap! :o I completely forgot to play Tecmo Super Bowl this summer!
By the way, I started StarTropics today. ;D I've always wanted to play that. Fun stuff, but I don't recall any other games that rewards you with an instant death room for trying to explore. :fire:
@Jedi
Yeah, that death-trap room is pretty annoying in StarTropics. I haven't played too deeply into that game, but that room is in, what, the first underground in the game right?
And it's not too late to pick up your copy of Tecmo. I usually start in late summer, about a month to month and a half before the start of the real college football season, but you can play it whenever you want of course. I played a couple more games: I blew out Buffalo (!), before losing a very frustrating game to the last-place Vikings. Three aggravating turnovers, including the ridiculously-inaccurate-interception, and the Vikes clinched it with one of their offfensive linemen returning a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown in the last minute (and flying past my fastest defenders). I swear, the luck system in that game is absurd some games.
That was what I've played so far today, along with a little bit of Donkey Kong Land (GB), which is my newest game. I'm suspicious the save-battery may be dead in my copy.
Last game I played was Jurassic Park (NES). I've played it since childhood, and owned it since adolescence. I'm trying to knock it out for the NintendoAge challenge. I had the best playthrough of my life yesterday, and I'm hoping to knock it out in the next week.
Dracula X, amazing game but not quite as fun as the original so far. A lot more fun than Dracula XX of course.
Samurai Shodown (3DO) Man I love Earthquake. He is the true king of turtling.
I just played a bit of Dizzy the Adventurer (NES) , which is the only game exclusive to the strange and interesting Aladdin Deck Enhancer. I thought I'd take a crack at making it the next game I conquer for the NintendoAge challenge. Kind of tedious how they force you to beat a game with lots of trial and error on three lives, though.
Got the Super Famicom version of Super Metroid this morning (haven't played it in years), and just beat it a few minutes ago, and got the best ending! (2:50)
Akumajou Dracula - so polished, so replayable.
My gaming experience wasn't much fun yesterday: I just ran a gauntlet of testing about 50 SNES/Genesis junk sports games that I'd just gotten in.
Silent Hill for PSX. sweet.. :)
Run Saber (SNES)
It was my first time playing this, and I'd never really heard of it before. It came in a lot of garbage sports games that I bought on the cheap for store credit, and I was just kind of pleased at the time because this is a somewhat expensive SNES game. But this is actually a pretty enjoyable action game. I'll have to play it again here pretty soon.
Bust-a-Move and Lemmings 2 (Both SNES)
I did alright on the Bust-a-Move (I'd played it once before, and other games like it on a few occasions), but I failed miserably at the first level of Lemmings 2.
I've mostly been playing my Genesis the last couple of days. Last night, I played a bit of Revolution X (the Aerosmith rail shooter) and Desert Strike (which I've beaten, but hadn't played in years).
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS). I think of finally nearing the end of the game. Not 100% sure, though. Not a huge fan of the Stylus segments.
Ninja Ryukenden 3. Breezed through!
Etrian Odyssey on my DS. Very good and involving game but the having to mark things on the map yourself is slightly irritating
The lion King for Sega Genesis. Seriously this game is awesome fun, but stupidly hard in a weird kind of way. I have the Famicom and Super Famicom varients as well. :)

This series is awesome ! I can't wait to the next one in the series! Coming out in October 1st!!
I played Shadowrun (Genesis) for the first time this afternoon. I screwed up pretty quickly, as this is kind of a complicated game. It's practically an action-RPG, but it's actually a pretty interesting and engrossing universe. Kind of weird to see that your characters can "plug into" a cyberspace "Matrix" in a game that came out years before the Keanu Reeves movies. I could really get into this, as soon as I actually figure out this game a little bit.
I took the plunge and bought Ittle Dew ($13.99) for my Ouya. It's so amazing, it harks back to classic LoZ games.
Popped in my old Diablo 1 Disc. Amazing how it still holds up as eerie and creepy.
Still playing Ittle Dew... These 12 puzzle rooms are a massive headache.
OUYA!
NerdyNebraskan, do you own a game store or something? I live in Lincoln myself and was wondering if I'd ever met you before!
Today was the first day in almost a week where I was able to do some console gaming. I went straight to the NES and played through a handful of games I'd been waiting for weeks to test. Started with Home Alone 2 to get it out of the way (yuck), then played about 4 stages into Wizards & Warriors (beat that one once in my tweens/teens; starting to think I'm due to play through it completely again soon), Paperboy (made it to Friday... not my best effort), and Super Mario Bros 3 (warped to World 4 and played through it). Wasn't terribly focused today, as I was also listening to the Husker football game on the radio.
@nintendodork
No, I don't own a store. I have been reselling on the side as I build my collection over the last four years or so, so it is possible that we've met through that. Either way, we should definitely meet up sometime soon. It'd be cool to chat and play some games in person. I could probably find some time this weekend, if you're free.
Ultimate Stuntman (NES)
Master of darkness for Sega Master system bet the game it was great fun worth every penny bought it cib for 40 bucks
Earlier this afternoon, I had a few goes at Operation Wolf and Ultimate Stuntman. They're the current couple of games I'm trying to beat for the NA challenge. I reached the final boss of Operation Wolf, playing with the controller. The game's hit detection with the Zapper is much poorer, unfortunately. Then I was able to beat the second set of stages for the first time on Stuntman, but the game just keeps getting harder. I really wish the Stuntman had Sonic's ability to look up or down with some of those jumps over instant death pits that the game asks of you.
I have been playing baku Bomberman 64 for the last 30 mins. I hadn't played it in about 14 years, and I enjoyed it very much. I might have to play this from start to finish (something that I rarely ever do)
VS. Castlevania - got to the level 4 boss, I can't imagine how I'm going to get through level 5, this game is HARD.
All my (gaming) attention lately has been focused on Centipede for the 7800. Two player co-op? Yes, please! :gamer:
Playing Alice Madness.. Cool game.
More Ultimate Stuntman (NES). I'm still trying to beat this for the NA challenge, and it's not coming easy. (I've now beaten three other games for the first time, while also trying to get this game down. I wonder how many more I'll beat before I do get this one.)
AVP: Evolution on Ouya.
Played Shadow Warrior, now I'm on the 10th chapter... but my current PC is crap - so slooow :(
I went over to an electronics repair shop on the other side of town, and they have several arcade cabinets set to free play. I played a bit of Vs. Super Mario Bros., Rush N Attack, and Space Invaders. It was a pretty fun way to do my first gaming in almost five days.

How could you not include them? How? How?? :'(
I got back to Ultimate Stuntman (NES) for the first time in almost a week, and I was rusty. I maxed out at Stage 3-2, after dying several times on stages that I was acing. I've got to get back to practicing on it on a daily basis, if I'm going to beat this thing this year.
Kid icarus myths and monsters game boy beat it and loved it
I took a stab at Conquest of the Crystal Palace just now. I got to the fourth stage, and the game apparently only has five of them. I'll keep working on this and Ultimate Stuntman, but at this rate I'll beat Crystal Palace first.
Animal Crossing all the time. :gamer:
Marble Madness (NES). Got to level 5 before running out of time. :-\
More Conquest of the Crystal Palace. I reached the fourth boss, but was unsuccessful in several attempts to defeat the evil bundle of Blackberries in the fire cave. This game is reminding me a lot of Ninja Gaiden. I have a decent life bar, but it seems like every enemy is positioned in such a way to hit you down an instant-death pit.

I'll be honest, the only one of those I have is The Ninja, and I haven't played it much... but thanks to your recommendation I'll play it shortly. Actually I don't even have a Game Gear, maybe someday I should get one of those... I'm definitely interested in Shinobi and Ninja Gaiden on it.
I just got done playing Ikuze Daiku No Gen-San for PSP... finished every stage on every difficulty.
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Hillsfar (NES). Not my cup of tea, but I got one for cheap from a thrift store recently and I had to test it to see if it works. (It does.) I'll be reselling it, probably to a completist collector here in town.

Mega Man: Battle of Gamma (NES; Mega Man 3 hack sequel)
I have not played this game, but I think it's worth sharing. While trying to educate myself on obscure Consoles and Computing I stumbled across this: "Prostitute Maker" (http://www.mobygames.com/game/prostitute-maker)
"Prostitute Maker is a "raising simulation" game similar to Princess Maker: a heroic father, who has defeated the forces of Lucifer himself and restored City 13 to its former glory of frivolous pleasures, is entrusted with the task of bringing up his daughter. The distinction between the premises of the two games, however, is significant: the father sees it as his parental duty to turn his child into a prostitute."
???
Call of Duty - original 1st game, and IMO the best in series!
The Ninja Warriors (Super Famicom) Well, I finally found the one game I like more than Hoshi No Kirby. I thought this day would never come.
I don't get it, that game seemed to me when I played it so so dull, like Spartan X seriously dumbed down. What is it you like about it?
You mean The Ninja Warriors Again? That's one of my favourites in the genre! How is it a dumbed down Spartan X? Great graphics, great music, great control and overall very fun fighting. Unlike Spartan X you can block and avoid attacks less randomly, and you can throw opponents for more tactical versatility. It's maybe a bit on the easy side though.
What P said! I absolutely adore Ninja's moveset, not only are the animations great for all his moves, but I've found so many places where different attacks are useful, keeps the gameplay varied and fun. The soundtrack is my 2nd favorite in a game, right after Choujin Sentai Jetman. The graphics were great, I loved the bosses, etc. I just loved everything about it. Although I have yet to beat it without continuing... yesterday I had to continue on the final boss, today I had to continue on the 6th boss... perhaps tonight I'll get it perfect.
Edit: L___E___T, are you sure you aren't thinking of the original Ninja Warriors game, on arcade, PC Engine, and Sega CD?
I got a copy of Bee 52 (NES) in the mail today, and just played it for only the second time today. (I tried it once a couple of years ago, thanks to another collector in town who had a copy.)
As for Ninja Warriors, I've never played it but I just had a look at a playthrough on YouTube. It doesn't look too special to me; I can kind of see LET's complaint that it's basically Spartan X/Kung Fu. You basically walk to the right in a straight line and take down waves of generic dudes with one punch apiece. Or, that's at least what it looks like for most of the first stage and a half. Moreso than not, I think Double Dragon immediately and forever made that form of beat 'em up obsolete. (Also, the defeated generic's single scream got really annoying.)
Spartan X doesn't have nearly as many different ways to fight opponents as Ninja Warriors, nor does it contain as many types of enemies. And with enemy types that you have to use completely different strategies to defeat, it becomes very fun and intense when you fight then in large groups. Despite being 2-D rather than the standard 3-D for beat 'em ups, the combat in Ninja Warriors is a lot more in-depth than any other game I've played of the genre.
Edit: Oh, and there are a few different screams for various enemy types, this becomes more apparent later in the game.
Nerdynebraskan you didn't watch that Tool Assisted video did you? There's no enemy that goes down in one normal hit that I remember. But yes it's the same kind of slightly monotone beat 'em up as Spartan X (we used to call the genre Walk and Punch as kids), but I like the genre.
The arcade version is much harder and you don't have as many moves and characters, making it more monotone.
Nightstar I don't get what you mean by standard 3D for beat 'em ups? Isn't most beat 'em ups, even for modern consoles, in 2D?
What I meant is that most beat 'em ups, such as Double Dragon, Final Fight, TMNT, etc. allow you to move up, down, left, right, and diagonal, while Ninja Warriors Again is only left-to-right, yet the depth of combat, and move variety is much greater than that of other games I've played of the genre.
And the regular soldiers do die in one hit, consider them the Goombas of this game. But a lot of the later enemies really know how to put up a fight.
Oh, and I played it again last night... sadly, had to continue on boss 6. I have a feeling this battle is being made much more difficult because I use Ninja, who is unable to jump, so... when they do their quick sliding move, it's basically a free hit for them, I have no way to avoid/beat it... not that I know of. Perhaps I should learn how to use the other characters.
I see, it was a long time ago I played it. I thought you could move in all directions. lol
The ninja is good for throwing since you just need to walk toward an enemy for him to pick it up with one hand, and he throws far. But you might need the kunoichi's speed on some bosses. I could never use Kamaitachi very well so I rarely used him.
Ah, fair enough. I actually prefer strictly 2-D beat 'em ups, so it'll never be an issue of lining yourself up with a particular enemy or object, you can just focus on the combat.
Yeah I love Ninja's throwing abilities, I'd say his downward throw (the back breaker) is the best move in the game, does massive damage, and there's a couple bosses who you can catch in "throw loops", and it defeats them with ease. You are correct that Kunoichi's speed would come in handy, the sixth boss is the pair of giant cyborgs, and fighting them with my Ninja is just... ugh. If they get on opposite sides of me, then I'm finished because that slide is impossible for Ninja to deal with, if only he could jump like the other characters! My best bet is to throw them into the corner, and use max-range punches to keep them there, but it's a scary fight nonetheless.
Buzz & Waldog (NES)
This is a fun little platformer; it's a shame it's such an obscure game. I recently picked up a repro of it, and I'd definitely recommend it to fellow platforming junkies (nightstar!).
Broken Sword 3, i started to play it for the second time, but first two parts are so much better!
Puzzle and Dragons. Nothing special.

Adding it to the list! I actually remember seeing screenshots of it a few years ago, I used to browse a site that had pictures of tons of unlicensed games, sadly the site doesn't appear to be up anymore.
Pokemon X (3DS), of course. In the first 48 hours of owning it, I logged 23 hours into the game. Since then, I haven't had much time to play, but now have just over 40. Currently in the middle of Victory Road!
You're back!

Sunman (NES)
Pretty decent, if unpolished in some places. (Not that I can complain too much about a lack of polish on a game that wasn't actually released.) I'm definitely enjoying my new repros.
I think Sunman is quite fun.
I was testing some multicarts and ended up playing Yie R Kung Fu for ages - really fun once you discover all the little tricks and patterns you can do with the moveset. I ended up just playing hit the shuriken with the girl after completing a couple loops.
Strangely enough, Skyrim (PS3)
I bought one for the girlfriend for Christmas, and had to test it before hiding it.
Pharaoh (PC game)
great city building game from Sierra.
A couple first-time victories in the past few days...
Super Genjin (Super Famicom) Just beat it an hour ago, really great game. At times the levels seemed like they dragged on a bit too long, but I'm glad I persevered, because the payoff was beyond satisfying.
Ganbare Goemon 2 (Super Famicom) Beat it twice, once as Ebisumaru (my favorite character), and once as Sasuke. Without a doubt, this is now among my all-time favorites. Just exceptional.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Genesis)
If I can ask - what's your favourite shield?
I briefly tested a handful of NES games I got in a recent trade this afternoon. The unusual ones were Monster in My Pocket and Dirty Harry. I'll need to see MimP to the end someday soon, because that's really a lot of fun. Dirty Harry is a piece of crap that I had the misfortune of growing up with and trying to get into as I enjoyed the movies. The NA challenge still needs Dirty Harry beaten, but I don't think I'd have the patience to put any serious time into this thing. The controls are just so stiff and irritating.
It seems a couple of them don't work unfortunately, which is odd to find two defective NES carts in a lot of 8 games. One of them was Godzilla, and I was so looking forward to playing that I wound up pulling my collection copy of the shelf and playing through the second half of the game.
@LET
I'm not nearly as familiar with Sonic 3 as I am with the first two. I do greatly enjoy the changes to the shield powerups, but it's hard to say which is my favorite as I've not played the game nearly enough. I do like the surging effect of the fire shield, and it's neat how the electric shield sucks rings to you. And it was very convenient to not need to breathe underwater while carrying a water shield.
Nazi Zombie Army 2 - Finished in 4 hours... :/
Bee 52 (NES)
I'm trying to beat it for the NA challenge; I've played it pretty seriously over the last three days. I got to stage 12 today.
I started playing Etrian Oddessy 2 and I've been playing animal crossing wild world at the childs demands!
Abe's Odysee (Oddworld) , i played that PC game when i was kid (at the end of 20th ct.) and wanted to try it again
I took another crack at Bee 52 earlier today, and wiped out on stage 12 again. I was actually very close to beating it, though: I got the last of the honey, and was racing back when time ran out and I died. I unfortunately burned through my last three lives before I could replace the last three spots of honey, since that level is very difficult without weapons upgrades (and you lose them all every time you die).
I also spent much of the last couple of hours playing some good old Spider Solitaire on the PC.
Poseidon : Master of Atlantis (PC), what an interesting game! hmm.. i'm playing a lot of games these days 8)
Post Merge: November 13, 2013, 10:01:21 am
Now i'm on Max Payne 3! it's one of the best games i ever played 8)
Still working on Bee 52 (NES). I managed to beat the 12 "front door" levels, but died on the second "back door" level. The levels aren't that much more difficult, but they do decide to screw with you and and make it harder to control your bee on whichever set of levels you play second. Grr.
Rome 2 Total War... didn't like it very much : -X
Today i've played Fallout: New Vegas (PC), cool game!
Dammity damn damn! I just wiped out on stage 20 of Bee 52. I got screwed by the spawn point, which isn't so bad when the controls are favorable in the first loop. I wound up dying less than ten seconds into the level, as I lurched into the large fly as soon as I spawned and bounced off the vines until I ran into a gnat and was killed off. Goodbye, upgrades! Apparently, you have to lean hard on the right D-pad arrow to pull back just enough to miss that large fly, but I won't be trying this again for hours. An hour and a half of gameplay down the drain. The physics changes in the second loop are just tedious!
I recommend Hagane on SNES.
I've heard good things about Hagane. I've been wanting a copy, but I haven't had the bucks to spend on one lately. Someday...
I played a couple games of NES Play Action Football. I played the crap out of this in middle school, and I'm trying to power through it quickly for the NA Challenge. Four games down, three more to go to win the "Power Bowl." (No NFL license...)

Get the much cheaper Super Famicom version instead. Most of my higher priced non-RPGs (i.e. games that don't need me to read) are for the Super Famicom instead. I can own Aero Wings (aka Sonic Wings) and Hagane for a fraction of what they would cost me if I were to get the US release.
I picked up a copy of Star Wars Episode 1 pod racer for the Nintendo 64. I have been playing that lately.its a half decent racing game.

Half-decent huh, I thought it was exceptional.
I'm still trying to beat Pilot Wings (snes) at the moment. It's so laid back, yet very intense, and I've never been a big fan of flight simulator type stuff but I just can't stop playing this one. Trying to distract myself till March when Pier Solar should release for the Dreamcast. Been dying to play that game for like forever but I kept missing the reprints of it on the Genesis, and I've heard it's pretty much one of the best 16 bit rpgs ever made. =)

I thought it was
terrible. Just un-fun and boring with drab colors. I love my racers, but SW Ep 1 Pod doesn't do a thing for me.
Tonight, I played a bit of Super Turrican and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! on the NES and Akumajou Densetsu on FC. I had a friend over, so we were just jumping around pretty casually between games.
Secret Ties (NES reproduction). It's kind of a shame that this one didn't get published, as I find it very enjoyable.
I played a partially translated version of Love Plus. I really need to learn more japanese :-[
Bee 52 (NES)
I picked it back up, after not playing it in nearly a week. Unfortunately, I was rusty and wiped out on stage 11. I've got more work to do before I can finish this one for the Nintendo Age challenge.
Rockman world 2 for gameboy that I bought off someone locally from Kijiji. I later found out he is registered here haha. :p Horray for local members.
Super Mario Bros 3 (Famicom). I'm not very good at it. : :mario:
Finally got to play the copy of Yume Penguin Monogatari I got from senseiman here. If my penguin doesn't want to gain weight, why does he keep eating the enemies' projectiles? Just take a few in the chin. :question:
Back to Bee 52. I reached the final stage (Stage 24), but wiped out before even getting particularly close to beating it. Maybe I'll finally conquer this the next time I play it, but that won't be today.
3rd Strike on Xbox. Man forgot how awful that Xbox controller was!
Tetris 2 (NES)
I thought I'd see how realistically I could beat this for the NA Challenge. I reached stage 29. Apparently, there are 90 stages in the game, but you can't start any later than stage 30. That'd be one hell of a marathon, especially since I'm not very experienced or good at this game.
Punisher (Famicom), really interesting shooting game!
Paperboy 2 (NES)
I beat Easy Street, and made it until Thursday on Medium Road on my second try. I made it to Hard Way last year for the NA Challenge, but wasn't able to finish it. I'll see if I can do better this year.
Q*Bert (NES)
Only made it to 3-2 on my best effort. I'm not good at this game.
Persona 4 Golden for the PS Vita.
I bought it several months ago at a convention but have not gotten around to playing it until now. Certain 3DS titles may or may not have also contributed to the lack of attention until now ???
Broken Sword 5 : Serpent's Curse! (PC) - recomended!
Go Go Ackman 2 (Super Famicom)
Action 53 (NES)
I got a copy for Christmas. It's not to be confused with the infamous Action 52. Action 53 is a multicart of homebrew games that was published pretty recently. I spent the last hour and a half trying most of the games. My favorites on first try were probably LAN Master and Lawn Mower. Although there were also homebrew versions of Bionic Commando and Missile Command that were pretty solid, too.
Fallout New Vegas : Old World Blues

Lawn Mower? Were these homebrew games or unlicensed games? Could you link us to more info about this game?
I just tried the last of the games off of Action 53.
Yes Dave, these are homebrew games. These are all things that have been programmed and published by one or two guys, and all of these are pretty recent. Many of them were submitted to an NES homebrew competition in 2011.
Here's a link to an advertisement of sorts:
http://www.retrocollect.com/News/nintendo-nes-homebrew-compilation-cartridge-action-53-function-16-volume-one-streemerz-bundle-now-available.html
A Google search for "Action 53 NES" will bring up plenty of other links.
I remember that - I was going to buy one but they were VERY limited quantities and pre-orders sold out almost instantly. Luckily, they're all available sea patently I believe, so I can make repros of individual games for example.
I had a lot of fun with STREEMERZ on PC so I'd live a fami cart of it one day.
I think they're back in production. I only asked for this game a month ago. My title screen says "Rel #2." And my cart is a gray one, rather than the transparent carts that were in the first release.
If you did want to build your own, I believe the ROM with title screen and all games is also available for free download. I've seen it at one or more of the links that came right up with the simple Google search I offered above.
Ahh, I might try that then - seems a good shout if I can make a Famicom version with all those games!
I had a mini-marathon with my spare Genesis stuff today, as I had to test it out before offering it for sale. I started with Sonic the Hedgehog, so I could test the controllers with something familiar. It wasn't easy turning it off after the first world so I could move onto... NBA Jam. I also dabbled in a handful of other things, including Columns which is pretty fun. I also tried a few other games for the first time, as I'd picked up a few Genesis games at thrift stores over the past few weeks but hadn't had time to play them yet. Marvel World looks like it could be a pretty enjoyable platformer, and Zoom was definitely unique.
I'm slogging through all of the titles on the exceptional 245-in-1. However, my Super Joy famiclone is janky, so I plugged in my SNES.
Wow, its alot better than I recall.
Been playing Yoshi's Island and it rocks. That wailing Mario sound is sure effective.
Rockman 5: Wily's Dream Space (NES).
It's very well-done, and very difficult. I've put several hours into it between last night and this afternoon, and I was only able to beat four of the robot masters and recover Beat components from two other stages. I decided to pick it up because I needed to test a pile of spare NES controllers, and it's always good to have a familiar game for that. (OK, so I haven't played much of Dream Space before yesterday, but the controls and physics are obviously the same as the original Rockman/Megaman 5, which I've played tons of.)
this time i have beaten "RESIDENT EVIL 2" the PSX version :), 8 hours of paying :-[

I love that game, I had it on PC.
Just played a half dozen levels of SMS The Ninja on my DSlite.
I played Fallout 3 GOTY, got the ending? and than after that the game continues with new quests ???
I worked on Flintstones: Surprise at Dinosaur Peak and Tecmo Super Bowl for the Nintendo Age NES Challenge, but wasn't able to finish either yet.
I also had a friend over, and we messed with an assortment of games. Space Invaders (FC), Super C and CastleVania (NES), and Wolfenstein 3D (SNES).
played Mario Party N64 (The first one) with a friend. IMHO, Mario party 2 is much better :-\
Mega Man 7 (SNES)
I just got this in the mail today, which makes Rockman & Bass the only Mega Man game besides the soccer spinoff that I don't have for NES, SNES, and original GB.
Mega Man 7 is very underrated I think.
I had a first couple of levels on Dragon's Crown. Looks beautiful but not quite what I was expecting at first.
Played some Rush 'n' Attack, can't pass second stage :'(
I played some "shive it", a clone of Sokoban for the sega genesis.

I think you mean Shove It. :P I have it on a 59 in 1 multicart along with the classic Action 52. ;)
Played some more Dragon's Crown. Only thing I don't like so far is the confusion with some of the system early on, plus it can be hard to see what's going on sometimes. I lost my character on screen when there were 4 players, about 8 enemies and two giant golems battling it out...
I really did enjoy my brief go at Mega Man 7 the other day, LET. It does feel like a love note to the NES Mega Man games, but I can also see how it wasn't a big seller at the time. It's not as sophisticated as the Mega Man X series that were already out when it was published.
Also, Shove It is a really fun Sokoban game. I've got the Genesis version of that.
In between my many conquests for the NA challenge that I've been listing in the "last game you beat" thread, I also took a few minutes yesterday to test a copy of Bases Loaded 4 (NES) that I picked up in a thrift store in the past week. I'll be selling it to a friend working on a complete collection.
My 25 in 1 lists it as shive it. If I let it load to the title screen it is called shove it though. Ah well.
that reminds me, still havent gotten around to testing bart vs the world for NES, and i got it 14 months ago :o
Player2010 inspired me to play some Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (I have the Dreamcast version). I could never get in to this one when I was younger so it's a new game to me.
I just finished an epic 4 hour single-game of Wario's Woods. I started at Round 1 of Game-B, and got all the way to Round 95 before I game-overed. I'll have to go back and finish that in the next few days, since it's still needed for the NA challenge.
I've also been working on The Jetsons: Cogswell's Caper and Kiwi Kraze for the challenge. I'm really impressed with the Jetsons, but it's a tough game.
Jetsons is awesome! I played Mr. Splash for a spell.
I started a game of Dragon Warrior II this afternoon, as I've never beaten that one before and it's still needed for the NA challenge. I got about three hours into it, and was really enjoying it. After getting home tonight, I took another crack at the Jetsons. I couldn't get any further than the part in the furnace stage with the rising lava and auto-scrolling. I think I'm going to have to memorize that section.
I put in a few more hours in my game of Dragon Warrior II (NES) tonight. It needs to be beaten for the NA challenge, and I've never really played it for more than a few minutes prior to last Saturday. I'm about six hours into it now; I've collected the other two members of my party and grabbed my first key. I've got a long ways to go.
Oh that game is so non-linear and sometimes hard to figure out what to do next. And there's a point when... no I shouldn't spoil that yet. lol
I put in three more hours with Dragon Warrior II last night. I"m really enjoying it. I now have the boat, and have visited the continent from the first Dragon Warrior. I got a pretty big kick out of seeing the familiar landscape and hearing the remixed overworld theme.
I played DQ1 on GBA, absolutely loved it. I started DQ2 as well and have DQ3 ready- but I dropped off DQ2 for some reason, can't really remember why.
What a nice reminder to read about how you're enjoying it, think I'll pick up where I left off. I adored DQ4 and 5, so once I finish 2 and 3 I'm get 6, then 7, 8, and X!
Yeah when you visit Alefgard and hear about your ancestor from DQ1 and all that. DQ2 is very rewarding if you can endure the repetitiveness of this part of the game when you are collecting crests.
Playing DQ3 has a similar feeling since it takes place before DQ1. Heck, all the DQ games have this amazing atmosphere! lol
Last game played: Super Mario Bros Deluxe (3DS VC)
Super Mario World. I am doing a 100% playthrough of it again.
Mr. Gimmick!
More SMW. I've beaten 55 levels so far.
More Dragon Warrior II. I picked up the gold and jailor's keys, and the moon crest (my first!). I've also recovered Erdrick's helmet and shield for my main character.
Ah, reading his name as Erdrick stings :)
I've continued to crack out on DW II. I've nearly completed all the stuff before the road to the final castle, but I'm going to need some serious level grinding soon since my characters are still in the low 20s level-wise.
And what's wrong with the name of Erdrick, LET?
Erdrick isn't his real name - it's part of the whole localisation back then of the western release which I'm not a fan of.
I like the Japanese names and more modern style of localisation (which a friend of mine managed for Europe at least).
None of this 'though hath opened thy chest' nonsense.
I know him as Loto.
(http://lparchive.org/Dragon-Warrior-I/Update%2008/59-2q2mq1d.png)
I agree with Let. Radatome was changed to Tantegel etc. I don't see the point in changing such names, they make equally no sense anyway (and tegel is brick in Swedish so I always imagine a boring castle made of red bricks). However I think DW II and DW III wasn't as heavily localized as DW I was.
But I still prefer the old localization to the modern one (kafrizzle??).
I understand they picked nonsensical spell names because the Japanese spell names are also mostly nonsense names but I think they picked ugly names. And did they really have to go so far to make Alena Russian? OK I'm done complaining. lol
I played Sachen's 'Little Red Hood' on the 254 in 1 bootleg.
Total kusoge.
Started feeling purgatorial, which is an emotion generated by classic kusoge.
Batman (NES) this game is kind of stupidly hard. :/
I don't know. I kind of like the cheesy old-English localization of the NES Dragon Warriors.
Tonight, I played Power Blade 2 (NES). It needs to be beaten for the NA Challenge, and it's a fun one I hadn't really given its due. I stomped through the first five stages pretty easily, but wasn't able to beat it in one sitting. I took down the password, and maybe I'll try again tomorrow.
Ive been playing pokemon yellow on my gb boy colour.
I got back to Dragon Warrior II this afternoon, but I was having some serious trouble with the dungeon where I need to collect the Eye of Malroth. I may have finally hit the point where I need to do some serious level grinding.
I think I'll take a few shots at Power Blade 2 before bed tonight, and see if I can get a bit closer to beating that.
Oh but you have come far in this game! Keep at it!
Last played game: Surechigai Mii Hiroba
I never said I was giving up! I played DW II for two more hours tonight, and the Eye of Malroth is mine! On to the next quest...
I fired up Adventures of Lolo 3 yesterday and today. I'm trying to beat it for the NA challenge, but I'm finding it harder than the first one. (Which is the only one I've beaten to date... I skipped Lolo 2 because it's already been beaten for the year.) Still a definitely enjoyable game, though.
Lolo 1 is very easy compared to almost all other Lolo games. The Famicom exclusive Eggerland games are harder and even the Japanese versions of Lolo 2 and Lolo 3 are said to be a little harder than their English versions.
I was inspired by you and started playing Dragon Quest. I'm at level 8, have reached Maira (the third town) and have just bought me a fine iron axe. I'm about to enter the Marsh cave but I'm not sure if I'm ready yet for that.
I'm playing the Famicom version, meaning crude graphics (for example all characters always face out of the TV no matter what direction they are walking in, due to the game being partly inspired by the Ultima series) and no cart backup but passwords. On the upside that means I don't have to worry about loosing my save because of old batteries etc. I can have as many "save files" as I have paper to write the passwords on.
Although it's a very simple RPG, it's really a timeless classic. Especially for being the first game in the genre known as Japanese-style RPGs. There're lots of cool details, for example the sprite actually reflects what you have equipped and Sugiyama is playing with the pitch in the music in a very aesthetic way. And although the graphics are simple they are very colourful and doesn't really look bad at all.
More Dragon Warrior II. I picked up the Thunder Sword and Armor of Erdrick tonight. My party is now in the low-30s levelwise. I did some level grinding today, and that will have to continue next time because I'm not yet strong enough to go to Hargon's Castle (although I did see it for the first time today).
That's interesting about the first Dragon Quest... I didn't realize that the battery was an improvement for the US version. But I'd agree that the first game is a timeless classic. Though it's very simple and relatively small for its genre, it still has qualities that make it outshine some of the more sophisticated examples on the NES.
Yup, sprites that could face in all 4 directions didn't come until DQ II and backup saving came first in DQ III. When Dragon Warrior was to be released in North America, DQ III was already out in Japan so they could add these new features into DW.
Oh I also wants Armor of Erdrick... er I mean Roto.
I shot the moon and marched into the marsh cave at level 8. I didn't dare touching the dragon there yet so I went through the tunnel and arrived at the island on the other side. And the monsters... darn they are strong! I managed to rush to the town Rimuldar with just a few HP left and no MP. One more encounter and I would be dead for sure! I bought some magic keys and started my training by fighting the werewolves and other strong monster just outside town. The only way to survive is taking my chances with Laliho (the sleep spell) but it's very risky and I can often just beat a few enemies before I need to stay at the inn. I saw death in the white of the eyes many times already (does that expression exist in English?).
I'm now level 9 but they say there are even stronger enemies to the south and I still don't wanna fight that dragon so I'll just stay here and build up experience and gold for a while, saving up for an iron shield.
I've continued to hammer away at Dragon Warrior II. At 40 hours in, I've passed through the Rhone Cave and picked up most of the treasures to be had in it. I just need to go back for one more grinding session to pick up a second Mysterious Hat for my princess, and I'll have every good piece of equipment for the end of the game. Two of my three characters are halfway to maxing out their Experience, too.
P,
I can understand. That dragon guarding the princess is pretty tough. And I rather like level-grinding on monsters I can barely survive against. It seems to happen a little bit faster that way.
Right that's it I'm gonna have to bust out DQ2 now.
Hehe I'm going to start DQ2 too, when I finished DQ1.
Allright my training has beard fruit at last. The tables has turned and all the enemies here are at my mercy know. At level 13 I finally challenged the dragon. It was a tough battle and hoimi (healing spell) was useless against his fierce attacks so I used only herbs to heal. I was almost out of healing herbs and I knew that I couldn't stand another counter attack from the dragon, but I also thought he was at his limit too so I took a chance and lunged at him. :pow: and he fell down dead to the cold cave floor! After all this, carrying a princess to a castle a few miles is super easy.
The lost vikings 2. Im at the level GYSR.
I took another crack at Kiwi Kraze this afternoon. I've been playing it off and on for the last several weeks, and I'm getting the early stages pretty well sorted out. I beat the third boss for the first time this afternoon, but the game gets really hard immediately in the fourth set of stages. No checkpoints?!

It's great game, i wanted to sell my Kiwi Kraze, but when spend some time playing it i've changed my mind! :)
EarthboundCentral posted from patches for Earthbound Zero/Mother 1 a couple of days ago and I've been trying my hand again at it.
It makes the game way more balanced and i'm enjoying the heck out of it!
I've got a copy of Kiwi Kraze NES for sale, btw. :redcart:
Two more hours of Dragon Warrior II tonight. Two more hours of grinding in the Rhone cave, but still no mysterious hat for Princess Peta. I think I'm going to go to Hargon's Castle the next time I play.
Super Mario Bros. 3, was testing it out on my NES, after moving it and such.
Oddly enough, an N-Spade appeared after the very first level, and wouldn't disappear, no matter how many times I lost. I don't have a Game Genie, so.
You mean you played the memory game over and over and it never disappeared?

I remember had such trouble finding how to get to that cave the first time I played. Haven't had time to play DQ lately. Last time I played, I found the Silver Harp in Garai's grave and now I need to level grind there before I can move south. I tried moving south but a shadow knight almost killed me so I flew back to Ladutorm castle using the Ruura spell quicker than quick.
Dinowars/DinoCity, on Super Famicom. Beat it on hard mode, in one credit. My first time playing it on that setting. Unforgiving, but doesn't take away from the fun whatsoever.
You are an animal.
I've been playing Mother on GBA, it has some recommended improvements over the Famicom version. Liking it so far.
True! Evidently, a prehistoric beast, as I went straight to Tatakae Genshijin 2 after DinoCity. Also gave that one a nice run, but it's a lot easier.
Currently contemplating what I'll play when I'm home in a half hour... I'm thinking Super Ninja Kun.
I played a little bit more of Adventures of Lolo 3 (NES) tonight. After beating Dragon Warrior II, I moved into first place in the NA challenge, so now my focus turns to beating more games to build up and protect my lead.
Decided against Super Ninja Kun... instead, I decided to put my skills to the test this evening. Completed the following:
Super Castlevania IV (Super Famicom, one continue used, unfortunately)
Castlevania (NES, no continues)
Ninja Gaiden (Famicom, no continues)
A note about my Castlevania 1CC: I honestly believe it would have been a no-death run, but I got fucked over HARD by a weapon drop in stage four. That god damn skeletal dragon dropped the worthless dagger, when I was saving the Holy Water for an easy kill against Frankenstein. And, like a chump, I walked right into it without thinking, completely blowing my perfect run. At least I took out Frank on my second try, so I didn't burn too many lives over it. Let that be a lesson for any other Castlevania players, watch out. Random weapon-drops are your worst enemy in that game.
I played a little bit of Donkey Kong (NES). I picked up a copy of the black box version for a friend a few days ago, and I just tested it to make sure it worked. Wound up playing through about three loops.
I've been playing The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (NES) the last couple of nights. I've gotten to the final boss, but it keeps kicking my ass. Now, I think I'll do a little more of Adventures of Lolo 3 (NES). (Naturally, they're both games that still need to be beaten for the NA challenge.)
I've mostly just been playing Dota 2 recently :v
I've taken a couple of cracks at the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES). It's not as terrible as many people seem to think it is, but it is very hard. I have actually killed the Technodrome boss on my first try both times, but that last stage inside it is brutal.
Last game i've played was Worms Armageddon on PS1 console!
I used to love worms!
The last games I played were Micky Mania and Rockman 2 for Sega Genesis.
What's 'Rockman 2' ? Is it good?
super mario rpg and i finally beat it :mario:

Megaman 2. It is, in my opinion, the best Megaman game in the series.
It is! A masterpiece! Though I really like Megaman 8 as well. I know most people don't.
I am playing through Dragon Quest 2, just found the princess of Moonbrook and am levelling her up, other guys are at 10 and 12, she's only on 3...
Don't worry, LET. She'll never actually catch up with them level-wise, but she'll grow up just the same. At one point in my game shortly before I beat it, she actually had more EXP than either of the princes but was still eight levels lower than them.
I started Batman Returns (NES) this morning. I'm enjoying it, but I got stuck on the Penguin's Duck Carrier boss at the end of Stage 5. I took my password, and I'll try again later.
Spent some time playing original Fallout (the first part).
Played Gran Turismo 6 - I like it but games like this just feel like they are from a different era - PS1 and 2, they feel vacant on a modern system.
Finished a couple of games (1st) and then the game just crashed! Pretty annoying, glad it wasn't a 24 hour race!
Last night, I beat a few more stages of Lolo 3 (NES) and also tried my hand at Terra Cresta. I died at the second boss.
Just played through some DQ2, got the Flying Cape, on my way to Dragon Horn...
Just started to play Skyrim , i heard many people complaining that it's not so good game, but i like it for now... :gamer:
@ LET
Sounds like you're making decent progress. The game is going to start to open up for you when you reach that town on the other end of the Dragon Horns.
@ smeghead
Who's been trash-talking Skyrim? Seems like that one was hugely successful, and very satisfying for those who picked it up. I know my girlfriend's really gotten into it.
As for me, I played more of Terra Cresta and Lolo 3 tonight. I reached the final boss in TC before the game loops, but I was unsuccessful in each of my three fights with him. I also reached stage 13-5 in Lolo 3.
I just beat one of my new purchases, Violinist of Hameln for the SFC, and uh... Ho. Lee. Shit. At first I wasn't sure how much I'd like it, being a puzzle-oriented platformer, but I was blown away from start to finish. I could honestly call it the 2nd most underrated game I've ever played, after Cocoron.
Edit: That being said, GS Mikami is still my personal favorite of the new arrivals, as I'm a sucker for some traditional Natsume platforming, but the creativity in Violinist of Hameln is remarkable.
I decided to boot up my Super UFO for SFC and played some Metal Warriors - that intro cutscene!!
More Terra Cresta tonight. I actually reached the final boss for the first time while fully upgraded. I split out into separate sections to shoot the crap out of him, and the game seemed to glitch to where I didn't seem to shoot at all for the first few seconds. That was long enough for one of his homing fists to slip behind my upgrades and hit my mother ship, killing me instantly. Joy!
Jackie Chan Stuntmaster on my PS1 ! Very exciting game!
Been playing Dark Souls 2 - so far, so good!
I just had a pretty good run at Thundercade (NES). I got to the last level on one credit, and spent my last three credits desperately fighting (and failing at) the final boss.
Kunio Kun Nekketsu Goal 3 , beat Brazil and England :)
Still playing and still loving Dark Souls II :link:
Played adventure game The Neverhood on PC, it's made from clay!!
I actually played my first video games in about four days today. So naturally, I had to make up for lost time! I played a bit of Alien vs Predator and Doom (both SNES), some 007 and Bomberman GB (on the ol' Super Game Boy), and then I got back to working on Adventures of Lolo 3 and Mission: Impossible for the NES challenge. I actually beat the first and second missions of MI today for the first time.
Fire Emblem Kakusei
Hadn't really got into playing it until recently. Fire Emblem is as epic as ever!
I played some Mission: Impossible (NES) last night before bed. I'm getting close to beating the third mission, but this is definitely as tough as its reputation makes it out to be.
I never could beat that one. Got to some stage with these slowdown-inducing claw hands that would kill you in one hit. Couldn't get past them.
I think those claws are the last hazard before the boss in stage 1. (The stages are very long in the game.) I actually walked right past them on my one and only trip to that room, since I'd already disabled them by flipping their switch. It's very important to disable the traps with the switches, not that it's easy to find them.
I've played more Mission Impossible since then, and have since beaten the third and fourth stages/"missions." I'm making good progress on it, but it is brutally hard. Good thing it has infinite continues!
The claws must make another appearance later in the game, then. I definitely made it past the first stage ;)
I'm now on the last stage of Mission: Impossible, and I have encountered the second appearance of those claws. (You were pretty close to the end, Joe.) The room with the flamethrower guys is kicking my ass. I only survived it once with one of my agents left alive, and he wasn't able to destroy the claws with his boomerangs.
I've also down to the last castle in Lolo 3 and played a few scenarios of Conflict (NES) last night as well. It's too bad my spring break is almost up!
It was Duke Nukem 3d, old version!! Many great memories!
I had a collector friend over today, and he brought with him a couple of Color Dreams games I'd never played before: Castle of Deceit and Operation Secret Storm. Both were pretty crappy, but it's still not every day that I get to play an NES game for the first time. And I'm always happy when I don't have to drop $50+ on a game to find out how terrible it is.

Megaman 2. It is, in my opinion, the best Megaman game in the series.
Care to cite a few reasons why?
Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari... amazing game!!
Played SMB3 straight through with my brother last night. He wrote up a form, sort of like the type you use in that dice game Yahtzee. You get points on his form for doing certain things, seeing certain rare enemies, getting certain items, etc. Adds a new level to an alright excellent game, albeit a game that became waaay too easy years ago for us :)
I had a friend over, and we tried to beat Silk Worm (NES). Alas, after three full playthroughs, the best we could do was him reaching the final boss alone and with only one life. The boss seemed managable, but he still quickly made a mistake and it was all over. Maybe we'll get it done next time!
I'm currently on PC, getting into Skyrim, i can't belive how great this game is! :o
I've played a bunch of Conflict (NES) the last couple of days. Not my idea of a classic, by any means, but I'm working through it for the NA challenge anyway. It helps that I've been sorting through my music CD collection, and this game doesn't require my full attention.
I'm still working throguh Dark Souls II - just such a rewarding game, I'm hooked.
I started to play "Elite" on the NES today, to my surprise the battery was still good, it even had an old save I made way back. Did some trading, got some upgrades and made "above average" rank. I don't think I'll go for the "elite" rank but perhaps I'll try to complete the missions at least. It's such a great game, highly addicting, especially in the beginning when you're still amidst outfitting your vessel.
I just played some Bio Force Ape (NES) on a repro cart. I'm trying to decide if I want to keep it or not, especially since I owe a collector friend and he's expressed interest in my repro. The game has some technical achievements, mostly in terms of the sheer speed the game moves at on an NES. But the game also feels... unpolished? It just doesn't seem to have a lot going on, in terms of level design and in the rather limited fighting system. What does everyone here think of the game?
I've only played it for a bit, but yeah I don't think it's that special besides from pretty good control and as you say it's very fast. One problem is the characters. It's just not fun at all to be some ugly monkey!
Tried beating Shinobi on Sega Master System. Shinobi III is one of my favorite games of all time, but... wow. This series really got off to a rocky start. Stage 4-2 in Shinobi is some of the worst game design I've ever experienced in a platformer. A jump that's 100% luck based. Classy.
Elite (NES). Bought the Trumbles and quickly got rid of them. Completed the first mission and reached "Dangerous" rank. Now I'm grinding in an anarchy system in the second galaxy getting the kills needed for the second mission.
Darkwing Duck (Famicom), game is great but somehow hard on some levels...

My brother and I just beat that game a few days ago, actually! I feel the same way, that the game is great and I am glad to have it, but it is much harder than some of the other Disney games. I love the music though.
Beat Shinobi, after a ridiculous amount of continues. 4-2 still kinda ruins the game for me, other than that it was okay... albeit a rocky start to a beloved series.
I could only beat the arcade game wit have states :)
Haven't yet beat the Megadrive games without save states, the PS2 games, a different story.
Last game I played was Double Dragon - got reasonably far for a first play through but lost some lives figuring out weaknesses, I'll do better next time.
I took a couple of cracks at Silk Worm (NES) with my buddy this afternoon. Both times, we game-overed on Wave 8. We might've beaten the game, if we'd had time for a third playthrough (but we didn't).
One of my favorite games as a kid was King Arthur's World on the SNES. It was a totally overlooked Lemmings/RTS style game by Argonaut. It's totally worth a shot! There's also been somewhat of an homage by the name of King Arthur's Gold which you can find on steam. It's like a multiplayer version of KAW, but with a building phase. I also talked more about KAW on Retro Obscura Episode 14.

I still need to get Shinobi on PS2, dying to try that one out. But the original Shinobi, man the difficulty is insane. And hell, I'm speaking of the Master System port which added in a health bar. My main problem was how inconsistent/luck-based the jumping in 4-2 was. I have beaten it once more since posting that, so it's definitely beatable... it just requires a ton of luck, in addition to skill and memorization.
On Ps1 - Medal of Honor Underground... Want to play some other MoH games, they're awesome!!
The New Real Ghostbusters II!
(http://www.nintendoplayer.com/prototypes/newghostbusters2/mcbeal.gif)
I'm trying to complete Mission: Impossible. I got to the final boss for the first time today, where you apparently have to stump the supercomputer about to launch World War III at a game similar to tic-tac-toe. Pretty strange ending, but I quickly lost the game and it celebrated by destroying the world. Take about a poor sport! The difficulty of this game is just relentless! It'd be much more managable if there were more password points in the game, but especially this last area is just freaking huge.
SKYRIM FINALLY AT LAST OH MY FUCKING GOD AND MY LAPTOP OF ALL BEASTS RUNS IT!!!!!!!
I'm totally enjoying it but I kinda get lost then realise oh shit I have to be up in 2 hours ;D
I had a go at Big Nose the Caveman, Kiwi Kraze, and Toobin' this afternoon, as I'm trying to beat all of them for the NA challenge. I didn't finish off any of the three, but I'll keep practicing.
If you can take down Kiwi Kraze, I'll be impressed. I've had it since I was a kid, never managed to finish it.
First time completion for me tonight: The Cyber Shinobi for Sega Master System. And I gotta admit, I think this might be the most overhated (if that's a term. Unjustly hated, anyway) game I've played. I heard a lot of people labeling it a bad game, but after completing it I gotta figure most of them just say that due to how different it is from the original Shinobi, without giving it a proper chance. Very solid game in its own right.
Today i've played some Plants vs Zombies, it's such an addictive game... :)
Yeah, I'm not super-surprised to hear you say something like that, nightstar. I've been playing Kiwi Kraze off-and-on for a couple of months, and the game is just cruel. The enemy placements, the time limits... just nasty. I can't seem to do any better than level 4-2.
Tonight, I had my first taste of Animaniacs (SNES), which I recently picked up locally. After that, it was back to practicing for the NA challenge. I had a good run at Toobin, and wiped out three levels from beating the game. This one is pretty manageable. Then I took another crack at Big Nose the Caveman. I'm still grinding on the second island. Big Nose has some good things going for it, but it's unpolished in ways that make the game kind of tedious.

Yes, I agree on your comments about Bignose. Good game, but unpolished is a great way to describe it.
I just played a little of Felix the Cat.
I had a nice little run on LAN Master (NES homebrew) a couple of hours ago, but most of my gaming thus far today has been with a small lot of Game Boy games I got in the mail the other day. Mario's Picross and Boxxle were the main highlights of the lot, but I had a decent time with most of the testing. I think I'll try to get back to beating Toobin' now.
Wait and See , what a terrible game >:(
This afternoon, I got halfway through Shockwave (NES). Not bad, considering I've barely played the game before and had never played beyond the first seven or eight stages before. I took a password, and I'll continue with it later. Then, I continued to grind on Big Nose the Caveman and Kiwi Kraze. Now, I'm feeling like some Thundercade. I still have a lot of interesting stuff to choose from for the NA challenge.
Megaman 2 ;D
I just received my copy of Earthbound today and Donkey Kong Country 2.
I just beat DKC 1. It is time for DKC 2.
More Shockwave (NES). I've zipped up to Level 40. This game is full of warps, and I keep stumbling into them!
;D GOAT SIMULATOR!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!!
Emperor Rise Of The Middle Kingdom, i'm a big fan of this city building game series.
More Shockwave. Things have slowed down, as I'm still on Level 43. But hey, I've only got to clear 50 and it'll be beaten.
Oh, and the girlfriend has been enjoying the Goat Simulator as well...
Lion King on Famicom, it's harder than when i was playing DOS version...
I put in an hour or more with Dudes With Attitude (NES). I'm really trying to beat a few unlicensed NES games for the NA Challenge, but I just got so stuck on Level 43 of Shockwave that I had to start a new game. I'm about halfway through Dudes, but I'm really hoping I can stay focused and actually complete some games.
Yesterday when i was at my uncle we played on his old C64 awesome ''Barbarian 2'' game, wish that they made a version for Famicom...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E21I6bMR9wY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E21I6bMR9wY)
I've been grinding on more Dudes With Attitude (NES). I'm planning to start Willow (NES) today; it's the last game by Capcom left on the Nintendo Age challenge.
Oddworld : Stranger's Wrath, still, Abe's games are so much better IMO...
I've probably spent about four hours with Willow (NES) over the last couple of days. I'm enjoying it. I just picked up some magic beans that'll let me breathe underwater, but I had to quit shortly after going into the lake for the first time.
Dark Souls 2 still. Beat two bosses and then died on a 3rd :(
I've been plowing through Willow. It's a pretty solid game, and I'm really liking the music.
Kirby Triple Deluxe on 3DS. I love Kirby, so it's fun, but it's really easy. I just got to the third level (which is what would be considered a "world" in most other games), and I don't feel challenged at all. It's still nice to pick up and play though. Hopefully it'll get a little more challenging soon.
I've also been playing a lot of the Mario Golf 3DS demo. I think I'm going to have to ask for that one for my birthday.
More Willow (NES). I've maxed out my character's EXP. I think I'm pretty close to beating the game at this point.
Been playing Balloon Kid on the Gameboy all day, managed to get to the last level but that's it. Going to give it a rest and try again later. The controls felt tighter in Hello Kitty World.
I am still working on beating Link's Awakening. I recently got an original gameboy in the box for around $30. I had to fix the missing pixels on the screen, but for a clean gameboy in the box I thought it was a steal. I fixed the missing pixels btw.
I played some Super Mario World 64 for the Sega Genesis.
I'm playing Cave Noire (GB) at the moment. It's quite fun but sometimes it feels like all you're doing is just rolling a few dice and praying for a good outcome.
I had my first taste of Adventures of Lolo (GB) this morning. I bought a copy a few weeks ago, and it just came in the mail over the weekend. Then, I started playing through a few NES games, looking to see if I can make a breakthrough and beat one that's still on the Nintendo Age Challenge list. I tried Big Nose the Caveman, Thundercade, Silk Worm, and T & C II: Thrilla's Surfari. So far, no conquests.
Maybe I should give Lolo a chance some day. I tried the FDS version and I thought it was boring though. Or maybe it was Eggerland. They are similar, aren't they?
I played a bit of Parodius.. again.. (GB) http://japanspel.blogspot.se/2014/05/parodius-on-gb-revisited.html
Yeah, Eggerland and Lolo are the same series. I think the series is awesome, but it might not be for you.
I'm currently playing through Lode Runnder (NES) for the NA challenge.
The series was initially called Eggerland and was released for MSX, and then the second game came to FDS, but when the NES exclusive Adventures of Lolo was released they changed the name. This article explains the whole series pretty well http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/eggerland/eggerland.htm.
I definitely think you should at least give Adventures of Lolo a try if you like to solve puzzles. It's the easiest and one of the shortest game in the series (doesn't mean it doesn't gets hard though). It's good as an introduction to the series because the game naturally teaches you all the rules of Eggerland without tutorials and such and gradually gets harder.
I played around with a few NES games that still need to be beaten for the NA challenge: Thundercade, Silk Worm, Mighty Bomb Jack, and eventually Quattro Arcade. With the Quattro, I was particularly enjoying the Go Dizzy Go. It's definitely the gem on that cart, but CJ is a decent platformer too (even if it's a bit unpolished).
Pokemon Y and Kirby Triple Deluxe. I am having a good time.The 3ds hasn't been played since I beat A Link Between Worlds.
Just farmed 100K souls in Dark Souls II, enough to level up to 130 :)
I've been continuing to work on several games for the NA NES Challenge. I've reached the second-to-last stage of Shockwave, and the second-to-last boss of Silk Worm, so I'm hoping I can knock those out soon.
Are you still leading the boards? I think it's admirable you beating all these games. I did it for my PS1 collection years back, took ages and that was only about two dozen games.
I have been playing Diddy Kong Racing the last few days or so. I always found it to be more fun than Mario Kart 64.
That was the first N64 game I played when they launched - I wasn't very good at flying the planes :D
I played a bit of Ninja Gaiden Shadow (GB), followed by Silk Worm and Go Dizzy Go (from Quattro Arcade) for NES.
@ LET
Yeah, I've actually been building my lead over the past month and a half. I've slowed down, but many of the players who were close to me in score have disappeared completely.
today i play pikmin 2 for wii.
purchase it new 2 yrs ago and have been stuck in same spot since 2 yrs ago ::)
hm.. maybe ebay..? :-[
I've beaten both Pikmin 1 and 2 completely. Where are you stuck?
Loopz (NES)
Game C is very hard. It's basically a memory game/Pipe Dream hybrid. You're given only a few seconds to study a shape formed out of fitted pipes, then about half of them disappear and you have to re-assemble it.
it is valley of repose ( ?? ) but..... can't figure it out. beat the first level but not sure what to do next
Valley of Repose? That's the first area in the game (the winter level). The goal in the game is just to collect enough treasure to pay a debt, so just keep collecting treasures. Harvest flower pellets and enemy creatures to grow a bigger pikmin army. Find those underground caves to find even more treasure, and you'll soon be able to go to more areas and find more pikmin types.
I've gone deep into two different NES games today, only for the games to glitch me out. I got trapped in my hive on stage 22 (of 24) in Bee 52, and then I had a tank boss near the end of Iron Tank decide to crash and self-destruct in such a way that the game became unplayable. Joy.
I've been playing Gran Turismo 6. Very clinical and Japanese approach to motor racing, but I like it for what it is.

ya I prefer to just use the cars. I am at 31 balloons with 1 piece of the wiz pig amulet, all 4 pieces of the t.t amulet, and all 4 keys. i use pipsy as i find her the easiest overall to control.
I think I used to play as the little Tiger. We got everything in the end, but I remember replaying stages again and again to get little bits. Man Rare used to love their collectables back then didn't they. Got a bit out of hand at one stage.
I took another long crack at Iron Tank, and had my first taste of the the final boss gauntlet. Unfortunately, I came up short and also exhausted all of my special weapon ammo. I've got a password halfway through the final city, and I'll start there tomorrow and see if I can finish this game off.
I've been playing Retro Game Challenge 2 and loving it. Wiz-Man and Mutekiken Kung Fu are awesome so far!
I took cracks at a few NES games still needing to be beaten today. I didn't finish anything, but I did make some progress. I pushed through 10 stages of Game-C of Loopz. I beat two of the last three stages of Dudes With Attitude. And I got in some still-needed practice with Big Nose the Caveman, Big Nose Freaks Out, Go Dizzy Go (Quattro Arcade), and Silk Worm.
I've been playing the daily challenges on Retro Game Challenge 2 and loving them, easy enough so far but with a good dose of challenge, really enjoyable. More of you should play this game it's like discovering a handful of brand new finished protos, but with the nostalgia of playing them back in the late 80s/early 90s too.
I had a friend over, and he brought a couple of NES games I'd never played before: Challenge of the Dragon and Robodemons. It's nice to have those off the ol' bucket list, but I wouldn't recommend either game to anyone.
Robodemons - to be fair that is a kick ass title for a game!
Yeah. It's a great concept for a game, in a cheesy way. You're a robot battling your way through demons in hell. But man, does it suck.
Before getting onto the business of beating NES games for the NA challenge, I played a little bit of Wario Land II for the Game Boy. Great title!
Warioland 2 is fun yes, I still prefer the original Wario Land and Wario Land Virtual Boy as the definitive titles.
To me, 2 and 3 weren't as good, then the series jumped a leap in ambition with 4 which is the standout iteration, then fall aaalllll the way down with the DS game :(
Virtual Boy Wario Land and Mario Clash, but sadly my Virtual Boy is in a box on it's way to be repaired. :'( I'll have to wait a week or so before I can play it again.
Trolls on Treasure Island (NES)
I just felt so good about beating Dudes With Attitude, that I just had to jump right into its sequel. I've got to say, though, that I hate the sound of these games. I've been turning my TV down and playing other music over it. (Which is something that I rarely do, because the game's music is a major part of the experience.)
Tekken Revolution (PS3)
That's the free to play one right? How is it?
Just got my back up virtual boy and popped in Mario Clash. ;D
Alex Kidd in Miracle World (SMS)
It was my first time playing it, as I just bought a copy about a month ago. It's pretty impressive, especially for a title published in 1986. The Master System was such an impressive piece of hardware.
i just beat smb for the first time!!! ;D i made it a point to not use the warps and to play through every level without any guide was really aggravating at times and was my third attempt but i did it! with 202 seconds on the last level too! :D now for smb2.... but which one :-\
Good job! :)
If you thought SMB was hard then SMB2 is going to be really really hard. Plus you need to beat it without warping 8 times to access the secret worlds which are even harder. Mario is easier to control but the harder levels are easier with Luigi because of his incredible jumping strength (assuming you have learned to control him).
Super Mario USA is not that hard though.
Hey thanks, and guess what i just beat smb 2 USA!! ;D wasnt nearly as hard but still really fun i thought the end boss wart was cool too but my FDS came in today so shouldnt be long until the games do too and then ill start failing at smb2 jp :-[
I started my day off with some Rocket Knight Adventures (Genesis), and man do I really need to play more of this one. Great game!
im playing pokemon colosseum got it for $15 and its pretty fun a lot funner than stadium 1 and 2 has an actual storyline where you go places and battle people also is the only pokemon game im aware of that without using cheats you can steal other peoples pokemon! :o in fact its the only way you get pokemon but now im going against this one guy and he has an entei that i can steal and theres no way im letting that go ;D but 4 times ive gotten him down to LITERALLY 1 HP and 3/4 times he was confused but yet he still would not get caught from freakin ultra balls!! >:( and those are just the 4 out of like 20 attempts where ive gotten him down to almost 1 health i go through all his other pokemon like butter and ive only used umbreon and espeon throughout the whole game its starting to get on my nerves really bad when he rolls around in the pokeball 3 times and jumps out!! :gamer: (rolls once)Yess!!..(rolls again)YES!!......(rolls third time)YESSSS!!......(jumps out!)OMFG &^@$!!! :fire: >:( :fire:
im gonna take a break from this game and go play some sapphire :(
Final Fantasy: The After Years on the PSP FFIV Complete Collection.
I'm trying to get 1 of every possible item in each chapter, and am down to about 54 more items.
Dink Smallwood... this game brings a lot of memories...
used to play it in 2000. , it's a funny rpg game, similar to Zelda!
I played that too! It was a kind of fun but short action RPG.
I just played some of Nester's Funky Bowling for my Virtual Boy and Teleroboxer .( this game kicks my butt every time) :'(
Shovel Knight (Wii U version). Sooo good :gamer:
I was earlier playing Virtual Fishing (Virtual Boy) with the help of watching youtube videos. :)
How is that game? I tested it long ago when Virtual Boy emulators still weren't any good (no sound). It's one of the VB games I'm interested in.
Last game I played: Surechigai Mii Hiroba
I like it, the graphics are very nice and it's a decent simulator. :)
I can see why some people don't like it but I can definitely get play time out of it.
I've heard good things about Shovel Knight, too.
Last night, I played some Silk Worm and Kiwi Kraze, as they're both still on the to-beat list for the Nintendo Age NES challenge. I've been working on both of them for months, but man are they hard!
I find Virtual Fishing quite therapeutic actually, ironically as it's so garish :)
Last game I played was Streets of Rage 3 in the car - had to turn it off when a taxi bumped into us :(
I got a PSP modded to play most console systems... so I've checked out alot of games, mostly the expensive ones. :-X
On hardware, FCGamer sold me a grip of Gameboy carts and I've been playing Hammerin' Harry. It is surprisingly difficult, fast paced game. I'm pleased with it.

Daiku no Gen-san Robot Teikoku no Yabō, rather.
Waterworld (Virtual Boy) which is like "Asteriods" meets "Defender"!
R.C. Pro-Am II (NES)
my own crappy game in udk :D your a giant carrot and the enemies are green bunnies that try to tag you like a game of zombies ;D i added in a random teleporter that once activated in game it will teleport you every 5 seconds to anywhere on the map, and i added in a hidden person behind a wall and if you kill him you get teleported onto the roof of the building and from there you can see through the walls and into the whole map and you can get into a helicopter thingy and fly around shoot things etc. :-[ its not really as cool as it may sound though but thats mainly cause its a work in progress and im just screwing around in kimset for the most part
R.C. Pro-Am 2 and Trolls on Treasure Island (NES)
geometry dash. It's really addictive!
More R.C. Pro-Am 2 (NES)
I've gotten better at it, with my days of practice. But I've still only reached the final race once, and I've yet to complete it.
Still more RC Pro-Am II. I'm getting pretty good at it, and I've reached as far as Track 36 (which might be the last one...).
I've also been playing Cosmos Cop (Asder 20-in-1). The judges for the Nintendo Age challenge didn't count it when I beat it before because my Asder version has rapid-fire on the primary weapon (unlike the Caltron version), so I've been playing the game without using it at all to compensate. I had a good run today, where I beat the game with three deaths. (Of course, if I were playing it on a Caltron cart, I'd only have three lives and would've game-overed on the boss.) So I'm trying to get to where I can beat the game without the primary weapon on two-or-fewer deaths.
Hellfire, MegaDrive. At first nothing special to look at but it's surprisingly addictive. Nice system too.
I spent the last couple of hours with The Mafat Conspiracy (NES). Sadly, I ran out of continues rather abruptly (it doesn't keep count or let you know they're not infinite). This was shortly after getting the plot twist that the "kidnapped" scientist is actually a leader of the terrorist group. I was pretty close to the end, too. Hopefully I can get through a few of the nasty parts with fewer lives lost on my next attempt and actually finish this one.
Stuck in the pit with the three monkeys in Super Metroid for a while. I was never good at walljumping and I always seems to get stuck down there. After lots of practice I think I finally got it (I have no hope for a good ending anymore though). You have to press the opposite direction of the wall for a split second BEFORE you press the jump button. I can do a walljump about 80% of the time now and I can jump between two walls without too much trouble. I still can't do the one-wall-walljump though, but I'll get there.
I defeated Spore Spawn and Kraid of Brinstar again and then gave Norfair a visit. I defeated the miniboss Crocomire but couldn't enter Ridley's lair because the entrance was submerged under lava. Guess I have to head for the wrecked ship.
Wii U - Rayman Legends, this game is absolutely gorgeous and the gameplay is flawless, if there's one thing I dislike then it's the stages which I have to use the stylus as it breaks all the awesomeness of the game.
Dreamcast - Tech Romancer, I set the difficulty to "Very Easy" and even still I can't manage to defeat the final boss (feels like it didn't change the difficulty by much) plus I had trouble defeating other opponents like what the hell, as a gamer I hate turning down the difficulty but even worse is that I can't win the final stage. So annoying I really want to get pass through it. It's not that I'm a "noob" I've learnt how the game works but the boss is hard as nails.
Mastered the wall jumping technique in Super Metroid! Maridia has lots of sections were you are supposed to climb walls with the grappling beam, but it's much faster to simply single-wall-jump them. Draygon is also no more. Time to head back to Norfair and beat up Ridley for the second time.
The Mafat Conspiracy (NES) is a serious pain in the ass. I just spent the last hour-plus trying that sequence after you confront the evil doctor. You have to do that really aggravating platforming section, including the two jumps that are pixel-perfect. Then you have to tediously backtrack through the last two mazes and side-scrolling levels before it. Then you have to try to snipe the doctor, and the sniping is so much harder than it is in the first game. You miss one shot at the doctor, game over, and it's right back to the beginning of that sequence.
Who's beaten this before? Where is the best spot to aim for on the doctor? And do you lead your shot out in front of where he's moving?
Decided to start a new game plus on Persona 3 FES. It's been long enough.
Balloon Monster (Famicom) and Big Nose the Caveman (NES)
Moero TwinBee (FDS), can't get past level 3, shoes are now my mortal enemy.
I'm getting close to beating Big Nose the Caveman (NES), but not quite there yet. I put in a little more practice tonight, but didn't get quite as far as I did yesterday. (But the second world is getting easy, and the third world is becoming familiar. That's not bad, considering the game only has four worlds.)
Playing the Japanese version of NES Trojan.
Damn, this is a hard game. I played for a bit today and could only get to the third level, stage 2. Got to the bottom of the lifts with a single health left.
I only lost one life all the way up until 3-2, but that gauntlet of rolling bombs and projectile tossing enemies did me in.. then the doppleganger at the bottom finished me off in one hit. OUCH!
Going to take some serious practice to even get past 3-2... Unless there's some kind of continue button combo I don't know about. A lot of these older games had it. :mario:
The Simpsons (Konami arcade beat 'em up)
I went out to dinner tonight, and we had the girlfriend's kid brother along. They had a MAME on freeplay in the restaurant, so I kept him busy until our dinner showed up by playing through the game in co-op mode. This has always been the game I most regretted not getting a home console version of, and tonight was the first time I actually saw it all the way to the end. Sure, it's repetitive, but the animation is very clever and funny. I wish somebody could homebrew port it to an 8- or 16-bit console. (I'd settle for graphics downgrades in an 8-bit version, but a 2P version of it could probably play pretty close on an SNES I would think...)
I started a game of Little Ninja Brothers (NES) today. This will probably keep me busy for a little while.

This is one of those extremely nostalgic NES games for me. I used to play it with my best friend when we were about 8 years old. I did manage to do another co-op playthrough last year and finally finished the game. :D
Has anyone had experience with Super Chinese 3? :-\
I played through a few levels of Pop N Twinbee - such a glorius game and one I've had a lot of fond memories with.
Jumped into Kuru Kuru Kururin a few minutes ago here at work. I keep a GB Micro on my desk in case of downtime!
Hmm, a GBA Micro on the desk - that is a very good idea and one I will borrow if you don't mind!
I played some SFC last night - some Super Turrican, Super R-Type, Super Street Fighter 2 and some others.
Then I started to play Earthbound, for the first time... Looking forward to getting into it!
Haven't had time to play anything recently... :(

Enjoy a great RPG! :D
I am slowly getting through Castlevania 3 and every now and then play some lesser known GB games like:
Chalvo 55 (I am just on third level but so far, so good)
Heisei Tensai Bakabon (half bad half great but i am liking it, there is Famicom version out there)
Tenjin Kaisen (really nice shmup-ask game)
I just put in a couple hours more with Little Ninja Brothers (NES). I got to a fight against the Evil Queen, and it turned into a turn-based fight and she crushed me with impunity. Her magic was really annoying, and I couldn't land a hit on her either.
Just played some Super Mario 3D World w/ the girlfriend.
We're finally clearing out the last two worlds of green stars and flag poles. We may very well finish it today!
I'm expecting a hidden unlocked level or something as a reward.
Great game. Not perfect, but the perfect pick up and play game.
I fully expect they release a Super Mario 3D World 2. Would be a shame to have built such a pretty, functional engine, and not deliver more content.
More Little Ninja Brothers (NES) for me tonight. I'm really loving it, and will have to check out a translated Super Chinese 3 sometime. I actually killed Blu Boltar, who is the thug in the opening cinematic. Apparently he's not the final boss... who knew?
Played some good ol' Super Mario Bros. 2 (for super players) on my Wii, on the FCE Ultra GX emulator. Good fun, but extremely hard.
Ah, I played a little bit of the real Super Mario Bros 2 about a week ago. It's so much tougher than the first game; I'll really need to give it a serious go someday.
I've been continuing to play through Little Ninja Brothers. I reached the Fire Castle last night, but was unable to enter it since it was... well, on fire. Even though I'm level 30, the enemies are still very tough in that desert.
Beat Zyuranger for the Famicom last night. Played it once or twice, years back, and disliked it. After playing all the way through, I can say it's not too bad for kids' platformer.
Level one is the hardest in the game.
The Pink Ranger is laughably overpowered.
I spent a good chunk of yesterday knocking out three missions of Conflict (NES). I've had the itch to jump back into it today, but haven't found the time yet.
@ Shumi
I also enjoy Zyuranger. I've only played through the first couple of stages or so, so I still need to spend some more time with that.
I also enjoy me some Zyuranger, no clue why so many people deem it mediocre. The character sprites are relatively big so it takes some getting used to, but all in all I think it's a good game, and those mini-games are ridiculously awesome.
I suppose I could probably come up with 50 platformers on the FC/NES that are better than Zyuranger, but I could also come up with 100 that are far inferior to it. It's a forgotten game because it was only released in Japan, and well after the decline of the platform. And it's definitely not as buff as some of the other end-of-the-generation efforts like Kirby's Adventure or Little Samson. But I'm partial to Power Rangers-themed stuff, and this is way above average for licensed tie-in games.
I did get a chance to knock out another mission in Conflict this evening, and I just beat a floor of Krusty's Fun House (NES) as well. Merry gaming to all, and to all a good night!
wow, i haven't heard the name krusty's fun house in years, love that game!! now i am gonna hunt down my copy and play it
Was over at a friends house, played some 2 player Samurai Shodown on Super Gameboy. Lots of fun.
I've been binging on Conflict for the last week, and I am now up to the final mission. I'm hoping to get it beaten this weekend.
I played Actraiser for a bit and loved it - never played it before but ended up playing it through to completion.
Had a quick dabble on Professional mode - couldn't really feel a difference, what is it?
I beat Rocket Knight Adventures last week. It was one of my favorites as a kid, but I never finished it. Guess I've gotten better, since I polished it off (normal mode) on the first attempt. Also started getting into Ghostbusters on the Mega Drive. The game's really charming, but a *lot* harder than I expected.
This weekend has been devoted to unlocking as many secret characters as possible in Smash Bros 3DS.
I had Ghostbustes on SMD as a kid - never could beat the first boss, but I kept playing cos I loved the music :D
Had a serious go at Alien 3 (NES) this afternoon. I got to Mission 6, which was much better than I'd ever previously done. (I was playing on easy, wth 9 lives.) I'd really enjoy the game a lot more if the time limit wasn't so strict. I'd seriously cough up half of my lifebar to get even 50% more time in the stages. (And the difficulties don't affect the timer; I think they only affect how much damage you take from the xenomorphs.) I've never been killed by an alien in that game. I die by timer 100% of the time, and that's just so much more frustrating and unsatisfying.
Yes, I think the NES version is quite borked - I liked the SMD original version but the same frustration applies. Definitely a game I would only play with a map, or no time limit.

One of my favourite games! :)
I take it you only tried the first stage in Professional mode? I think it's a mode where you only play the acts without the simulation mode part. So it's pure platform action.
Try the Japanese version if you can (if you didn't already). It's better in my opinion with more enemies. It also has a translation patch if you have a flashcart.
FIFA 14 and waiting for the FIFA 15 ;)
Fire Emblem Kakusei. I love this game! :)
I had my first taste of Lightening Force (Genesis), after picking up a nice CIB copy for store credit at a local game store. It's a pretty cool SHMUP. Honestly, the Genesis is a great console for the genre.
@ LET
I actually wound up beating Alien 3 (NES) only a few hours after last posting about it here. I did set it to easy, and gave myself 9 lives (since you can set that in the options). I got about 3/4 of the way through it on my first try, and actually beat it on my second try. And yeah, the time limit did kill me five of the six times I died on my winning run. (And all nine deaths on my failed, practice run.) But yeah, the second time I tried the last level, I was so sloppy and frantic I actually got myself killed before the time ran out. (That was probably a first, in the dozen or so times I've played it.)
I've been playing a lot of Thunder & Lightning (NES) over the past couple of weeks. My best run to date maxed out on Level 18 (of 30).
We have an arcade cabinet at work with one of those iCade xx-in-1 emulation boards. Played some 1942 before heading home of Friday. Got 144000 points and the current office high score! The joystick on the cabinet is four-way and there's only one button, so I couldn't move diagonally or use the rolling attack :P
I've started my weekend off with some Mega Man X2 (SNES).
Super Smash Bros for 3DS. All the time. Every moment of my life.
(Except the 20 minutes I spent playing the Pokemon ORAS demo)
Tanki Online ! tankionline.com/
i became addicted to this little tanks MMO game :-X
Been playing some FlatOut 2, works so nicely with my Driving Force GT.
I got some NES repros in the mail a few days ago, after spending about a year hunting down donor carts on the cheap for trade-in. I just played a bit of Titan Warriors. It's very hard, but also well done. I'm not sure why Capcom cancelled this.
I'm currently playing Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. The "New" (Easy) mode only makes it slightly less frustrating.
I started my day today with some Titan Warriors (NES), which I recently picked up on a reproduction cart. It's a really solid game, and I'm not sure why it didn't get published. I was actually able to reach the second stage for the first time today... it's a very tough one.
My younger brother was in town, so we had our traditional video game reunion. This year, it was a Genesis marathon. We played some T2: The Arcade Game, only to get stuck on the truck-protecting stage that I've never beaten. I edged him in a game of Tecmo Super Bowl III on a Hail Mary. And we beat a co-op round of General Chaos. Good times.
Played Gun.Smoke for first time. Just got it in the mail. ;)
Cool game, but can't see how it's better than Lone Ranger. ??? I really love the style of early Capcom NES music.
GunSmoke is awesome, especially as you get into the later levels :)
fun fact - Red Dead Redemption is the latest in the franchise, I forget the details of how the IP went over to Rockstar.
I played Yoshis Island. Or should I say ヨッシーアイランド because I managed to get my SFC to run properly on my PAL TV.
I got a long awaited shipment of repros in the mail today, and I had my first tastes of Final Fantasy V and Mega Man & Bass (both SNES). Loved them both at first sight.
Played Astro Warrior for the Master System for the first time in probably two decades. As much as it is an absolutely shameless rip-off of Star Force, it's also freaking GREAT!
I just played several hours of Jurassic Park (NES), and got all the way to the final boss but got chomped by the T-Rex. I had continues, but you respawn right at the fight, and the bastard is too cheap and tough to be beaten with the pea-shooter ammo they provide you in its pen. I'm a little bitter about it right now.
I played Arugosu no Senshi yesterday night, but i fell asleep. This is one of the classic games that i used to play as a kid, but it's way too long in one sitting and it doesn't have the password or any other save feature so if you will play it, be ready to sit there for a while. :link:
I tried a bit of Kung-Fu Heroes (NES) tonight. It'll never be a favorite, but I'm trying to see if I can beat it for the Nintendo Age challenge. It's definitely giving me a craving to play some Little Ninja Brothers, though.
I had a bit of a Wario's Woods (NES) marathon today. I played all the way from stage 1-85 in one sitting, and got from 85-90 a few hours later. I'm on my way to beating it for the third straight year for the Nintendo Age competition. It's a demanding, but fun, game.
Just 100% beat Ocarina of Time 3D Master Quest. Now I'm playing Majora's Mask 3D.
Super Mario Bro. 2 (J) Famicom Pirate Cart
I had my first taste of Rock N' Roll Racing (SNES) tonight, and I liked it. It's basically a 16-bit RC Pro-Am II with a familiar hard rock soundtrack.
I'm thinking about setting up the 32X I bought last year (?) and finally trying that out. I've got about 10 32X games, but I've never played any of them before. Should be fun...
Smash Bros. 3DS. I just can't find a control setting I can get used to. :-\
I just finished Toukiden on Ps Vita .
Play a bit of donkey kong county for SFC a couple days ago.
I've been binging on Conflict (NES) today.
Mario Party 10. Seems like the typical Mario Party game so far -- fun minigames and then general BS (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/01/29) toward the end of each game.
Hahaha yeah the luck factor is often big in board games.
Halo (XboX)
Badge Center on 3DS, got myself some nice Famicom icons. :)
Can you post pics? :) I saw some of them previously they looked awesome.
I'm still waiting for that to come to NA. I bet they'll change all the cool Famicom badges to bland gray NES badges, though :(

I'll try to take in-game screenshots (don't know if it's possible).
Or maybe I'll just take some pics with the smartphone if I don't forget... :-[
It looks pretty good, but I feel the prices are too high (although there are ways to play for free...).
I played some New Super Mario Bros on the Wii with my nephew at Easter today. It's a pretty good throwback.
I have been playing yuki yuki trouble makers a bit today.
Geki Kame Ninja Den (The first TMNT game for the Famicom).
That game was *so* close to being another Konami masterpiece. :(
Super Mario RPG. I'm finally doing a run all the way through. It's been awhile since I played and it's so great.
These guys are my favorite:
(http://i.imgur.com/V8QelCY.jpg)
I'm also playing Smash Bros 4 on both systems, as always.
Played some games on my famicom multicart extrordinaire, Street Fighter 2010, Contra, TMNT Tournament Fighters, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Kage and Kung Fu.
Found The Double Shooting (RayStorm and RayCrisis) at a resale shop this afternoon and have been playing the heck out of it all day. Utterly *fantastic* PS1 shooter.
FFVII
Arctic Adventure: Penguin & Seal (NES)
This is the Australian version of the game, published by HES. I just got a copy in the mail a few days ago, after almost a month in the mail. I'm happy to have it. I'd say this is an underrated Sachen title.
I've been plowing through Willow. It's a pretty solid game, and I'm really liking the music.
Had a blast with TMNT - Hyperstone Heist last night. Had to cut it short, but I think I prefer the MD version to the SFC version after this :D

I'm playing through some Tetris 2 (NES) this morning. I'm trying to power through it for the NES Challenge on Nintendo Age.
@ LET
I really need to pick up a copy of Hyperstone Heist. It's one of my two most-wanted Genesis games at the moment, along with Splatterhouse 3.
I just had my first taste of Mega Man in the Mushroom Kingdom (NES). It's a ROM hack of Mega Man 1, with all Mario-themed levels. It's interesting, if a bit glitchy.
Last game I really played was Chrono Trigger (in German) for the SNES.
I've been playing Bloodborne mostly, my wonderful fiancé surprised me with a PS4 last week!

@NerdyNebraskan I actually prefer it to the SFC version, it just feels a bit more mature somehow. You may actually want to try this enhancd version out, if you have an Everdrive:

For those that prefer the MD version of Hyperstone Heist...why so? I personally thought it lame compared to the SNES version.
Akumajou Dracula X - Chi no Rondo for PC Engine. I just beat Shaft after several tries, damn it's harder than I remember it. Maria is so much easier to control than Richter but she can't take as many hits.

Rainbow Island (PC Engine version) - Got into a PC Engine mood but taking a break from vampire hunting. I have never come far in this game before, damn the bosses are hard!
I'm continuing my attempt to beat all the games I never could as a kid. Today, my challenge was IronSword. I must have spent the better part of an hour on one jump...and never made it. :(
Yeah, I find IronSword pretty tough too.
I've actually been playing a bit of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas over the past few days. The girlfriend started a game, and I've been helping her with it.
Had my first tastes of Batman: The Video Game (Genesis) and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts (SNES) today. I enjoyed the former quite a bit, and the latter is at least a much better port than the NES one.
Quote from: nerdynebraskan on May 14, 2015, 09:03:54 pm

I think super ghouls n ghosts is not a port, it was never an arcade game.
I played Kirby's Dreamland 3, Ganbare Daiku no Gen-san and Tiny Toon Adventures (super famicom)
I picked up a copy of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (SNES) the other day, and had my first taste of it. It's a pretty solid beat 'em up. Fairly difficult, too. I failed to reach the end of the first stage on two credits.
Hi ! My last gamze played, is Shin Shinobi Den on Saturn :) with my new RGB cable, beautiful picture on a Trinitron Sony :pow:

I'm glad to hear you gave this one a play, it's a favorite of mine. In fact it's one of just two SNES carts I own (the other being Run Saber), really wish both of those had SFC releases. It gets a lot easier, trust me, first time I cleared it I was on my last credit, last life, then second play was a 1CC.
I think the Genesis version might be a better, smoother game based on my limited experience with both. But I do enjoy them both.
Tonight I had a friend over, and screwed around with several NES games: Galaga (one of his favorites), CastleVania (game froze on Dracula's stage... boo!), Kid Icarus, Wizards & Warriors, and Home Alone.
Gimmick! Got it last Thursday and I beat the game with the good ending twice today. 8)

I just started playing it also, I really suck got to the first boss and failed terribly I'll keep at it and learn some start shots but so far really enjoying the game
Just played some Final Fantasy VI, because it's been 20 years since I did (IMO) a great feat! Excuse the poor handwriting, it's gotten worse over the years :P If you've played it, you will know that the enemy/boss Chupon/Typhoon usually sneezes when you start a battle with him in the coliseum. One time he didn't and I defeated him!
(http://i.imgur.com/xGP5nI2.jpg)
Congratulations! :) I've never beaten him.
How did you defeat him in one turn though? Did you have offering and genji gloves?
Yeah, I was Edgar and had both those accessories, but can't remember what else I had equipped. Atma Weapon at full power for sure, though!
Supposedly Shadow has a weapon that can stop him, but that never occurred to me!
Shanghai, NES Open Tournament Golf and Magical Taruruuto-kun, all on Famicom
Shanghai is a good game but hard, kind of strains my eyes. And the game doesn't tell me automatically when there are no free tiles which all other versions I've played does.
NES Open Tournament Golf is my favorite retro golf game, only problem is I suck at it, I don't know how to get good shots in, it just doesn't happen.
Magical Taruruuto-kun I had high hopes for but I don't like it at all. One hit kills... well I can basically stop there. I didn't like it. And after seeing a gameplay video of it where some guy said he thought it was better than Mario 3, this was a letdown.
I think you'd like the Mega Drive edition of Taruruuto-Kun a lot more.
My biggest problem with both Magical Taruruuto-kun FC games is that there is no way to skip the speech before a level, and after losing a bunch of lives, it gets old fast. Talk faster, dammit!
I was playing Wizards & Warriors III. So far this game looks pretty awesome being able to change into a Wizard & Thief and all, but I noticed you can do things in the wrong order and get stuck. :-\
For example, I went far down into the dungeon area and as a level 1 thief, fought the two "snakes" and now I can't get out. :(
King Neptune's Adventure (NES)
I'm borrowing a copy from a friend, and I'm pleasantly surprised with it. I don't know if I like enough to want a copy of it, but it's well above average for a Color Dreams game.
Rockman 2 on my AV Famicom. Alas, I still suck at it :D

Haven't played SFIV since Super AE, and there's new characters, red focus and other changes. Do you think it'd take long to get back into it again?
I totally understand your junk food comment, it feels like all I did when vanilla got released was play hours upon hours on end.
Red Focus didn't wreck things as much as I feared it would before Ultra's release. If you happen to play Honda like I do, have fun against Poison... in fact, all the new characters are pretty much monsters besides Hugo.

A game I've been playing a lot over the past few days is Astyanax (NES). I picked up a stack of these for cheap at my local game store, because it's a good donor cart for reproductions. I've been testing them before shipping them off, and I've gotten better at the game with all the practice. I'm hoping to beat the game for the first time by the time I'm done testing the stack.
It's really a disappointing game, because the graphics and music are quite good. But the gameplay is so awkward, sluggish, and ultimately frustrating. If they'd put more polish into it where it really matters, this might've been a classic.
@ chowder
Keep practicing with Rockman 2. That whole original series is a masterpiece. And it may be brutal at first, but it's also fair.

Just recently picked up that game - it's on my list to beat.
There are a few of those rough, unpolished platformers on the system. Case in point, last night I played through Strider, which was super buggy in the way that only certain Capcom titles can be. Despite its roughness I quite enjoyed it and was a bit surprised at its (lack of) difficulty, considering other Capcom games from the same time period.

Oh yeah, Ultra is definitely a balanced game. Of course there are tiers, but any character can win consistently with the right reads/adaptation.
I've been playing Zen: Intergalactic Ninja on NES a lot, I got into speedrunning it... 16:21 is currently my best time, though I know I can do even better if I can master a couple risky glitches I've seen pulled off on videos.
Been playing M2's 3DS version of Gunstar Heroes. Great game, but those multiple boss battles are frustrating as hell.
Over the weekend I picked up Seicross, Renegade, and Rescue Rangers for NES.
RR is the real gem here of course, but the others are good for what they are. Renegade is of particular interest to me for its place in the history of beat-em-ups as well as heavy graphical overhauls through localization.
Plus I got one with that classy leftover of a bygone era: the "PLEASE REWIND TAPE" sticker on the back of the cart.
(I actually love getting NES games with "rental store residue," although I do wish US game shops were in the habit of discounting for blemishes like shops in Japan do)
Played Ninja Gaiden and broke my record by getting to 6-2. Before THAT part. I need to get the jump spin slash weapon to advance, I feel. Fucking brutal game. If I beat it ever it'll take my top spot of hard games beaten, over Castlevania.
Not really. Sure, the Spin Slash makes it effortless, but that screen is easy sword-only too - you just have to de-spawn the axe-thrower, jump and slash to take out the bird, and you're good.
Please don't tell me Ninja Gaiden is easy, it's like a dumptruck of salt in my wounds
My bad. A lot of times I lose sight of the fact that not everyone has played it thousands of times. But I assure you, once you've learned it inside and out, it does become an easy (or should I say, a consistent) game.
Speaking of which... today I decided to tackle the second loop of Castlevania, and ended up going a little overboard. I kept looping all the way until I reached stage 99... the counter never advanced past that.
(http://i.gyazo.com/e5161a4c87292a0fdb95158370c28fad.png)
I also maxed out the score... I thought it might become stuck at 999,999, but nope, it resets.
(http://i.gyazo.com/397e8581727569f37b0a42972efe746d.png)
Anyway, it was fun. I still need to learn how to no-death the second quest, as stage 4 is considerably harder than normal.
Broke my Ninja Gaiden record again, got to the second final boss. Who of course killed me after I got a whopping two hits in.
Then it happened, what I knew was going to happen but I was still in denial over. The game sent me back to 6-1.
One day...
Although I find it a bit tricky to learn how to jump up walls in NG1, still the first final boss is easy enough. I've seen strategies on how to dodge the fireballs of the second guy, but I'm not sure how to
beat him without a bunch of firewheel magic backed up...
The third boss seems to just be a case of quick movements and a little luck, but it's probably easier than #2...
But man playing through 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3 again every time... I guess you have no choice but to master it...
I wouldn't recommend the Fire Wheel - if you are unable to beat Jaquio sword-only, then go for the Spin Slash. There is one on 6-3, in the first room, at the bottom right corner. Take this to him, and you'll be able to annihilate him in one hit. This is what I used to do before I learned to fight him sword-only...
My strategy would be hard to type out, especially since dodging his fireballs isn't always easy, you have to quickly look at the pattern he's throwing them, and gauge whether it'd be optimal to move out of their way, or swerve in between them. As for landing damage, I tend to cling to either side of the wall depending on his pattern, and then quickly jump off and get in as many slashes as I can when he approaches... then some more slashes when he leaves that side. I use the rapid air-sword glitch to eat away at his health quickly, on a good day I can beat him in 3 cycles, or so.
Also, take note that contact damage with him does a whopping three hits off of your bar, whereas each fireball only does one hit. So, if you have to choose to get hit by one of those, let it be the fireball.
Once you beat him, don't panic against form three: It's easy, and requires ZERO luck so long as you aren't going for speed. Slash away at the head (the head will roll off and hit you, which can't be avoided, don't worry), then slash away at the tail, then finally the orb in his center. It'll rain projectiles but so long as you watch where they're going, and swerve between them properly, you should be able to claim victory.
Good luck.
So you have faced the true horrors of 6-2 and 6-3. It's not beating them once, it's beating them every time you die (which is usually at least once per boss). At least the final bosses only needs to be beaten once each. Keep at it!
Yesterday I sat down and played through an extensive Rescue Rangers 2 hack I have on multicart. The dialogues were so funny. I'll post something about it on my blog sometime soon, maybe tomorrow, as the ending text was really great...
2½ more hours on Ninja Gaiden, got in 5-6 tries on the 2nd boss but died every time of course. If I use the fire wheel there's a nice and easy pattern, but of course I never get there with enough, and whenever it's up to me and the sword I fail after getting maybe 2 hits in. Running from side to side dodging works, but whenever I want to go in to attack it's super risky and I end up getting hit multiple times.
Then why not just use the Spin Slash? 5 Ninpo is all you need, it'll take him down with one hit.
I'm considering it now, but isn't that cheating?
Although it's in the game and not a code of any kind... usually I don't consider that cheating.
Plus to do it I have to get there once first and die (because even if I make it there, they'll take my magic once I kill boss #1) then make my way back to 6-3, pick up the jump n slash, make it to the boss
without dying, and then beat him. So it's not like it's super easy to do...

TA-
..wait for it
DAAAAAAA
(http://i.imgur.com/GfjdGuj.jpg)
Beat the first last boss no problem, died at the 2nd of course, then about 1 hour later I got him with the spin slash (getting there with it wasn't so easy!) and he didn't die in one hit but two, the first hit took away all his
health except one bar, then I got the other with my sword.
Then I died at the third! I thought I was going to beat it then and there, from videos that boss looked much easier! But his attacks hurt and sometimes can be hard to run away from.
So after about 2 hours of trying to get to him with more health left over, I finally got there healthier and BAM, beat the gaaaaame~
A big moment for me, this beats when I beat Castlevania, because frankly Ninja Gaiden is more difficult and besides, I beat Castlevania on FDS, where I could save and train over a longer period of time
without having to play from the start every time.
So please allow me this moment of happiness without remarks of "the game is actually pretty easy" or stuff like that...
Y-A-Y.
The game is actually pretty e- uh, I mean, well done! Your first time clearing Ninja Gaiden I is an unforgettable experience, I knew you'd do it with enough practice.
Congratulations Protoman! It's a great game and beating it is a great feeling isn't it. :)
I didn't know the spin sword was that powerful though. I always have the fire ninjutsu spell and not too much ninpou power when I reach the boss. The fire spell isn't too useful on the bosses though.
Good going Protoman! That's one tough game.
Had a quick go at Ice Climber, haven't played it for years. Only made it to mountain 9. Definitely going to play some more.
Just got done with a no-death of Zen: Intergalactic Ninja on NES. 16:29 was my time... urgh, I missed the quick-kill on Contaminous.
That's an amazing videogame! I wish I could beat it.

Well done on Ninja Gaiden, protoman. Finishing that game is still a goal for me.
I've been playing Arkista's Ring for NES, which was a favorite of mine as a kid. One of those odd games that was developed in Japan and has a very Japanese feel but was only released in the US. I love the game, but I wouldn't exactly call it a "lost gem" or anything, mostly since the game is quite brief and you have to clear it four times in a row to get the actual ending (the difficulty increases with each loop).
I currently have the game paused on loop 3. :)

Had a whale of a time last night playing Super Street Fighter II X arcade with my fiancé
I've dreamed of being able to play that particular game for years and it was very special to play a few rounds with her, especially as she helped me get it.
Famicom for life yo, but owning and playing real arcade PCBs at home is a particular thrill I hadn't experienced until now.
Then she trounced me on Dr. Mario :D
That is awesome, L___E___T. Who do you favor on ST? Balrog and Guile (to a lesser extent Blanka) are probably my mains in that game. I never got that good at doing Honda's negative-edge Oicho loops.
I had a go on the PAL NES version of Ice Climber, made it to mountain 17 with a score of 586280.
Edit: Made it to mountain 18 with a new top score: 672970
Started playing Borderlands. I tend to be a good half-decade behind the modern stuff ;)
Had a go at my new copy of MUSHA (Genesis). I made it to what I believe was the fourth stage's boss.
@ Zycrow
Arkista's Ring is kind of mediocre, but has... something to it that makes me want to revisit it once in a while. The first loop is probably the most challenging, as the game is pretty easy once you collect all the items.
Ice climber, Mountain 21, Score: 830620 Getting close to that million. :)

Right? It's got a bit of heart. I really like how the different levels tell a story as you progress - you start in a forest, then you progress to a burned-out village, then through a volcano. But yeah the game loses its challenge once you collect every item. The only part that caused me issue at that point was the next-to-last stage with all the master ninjas.
And now...

I used to have Solbrain but sold it out of frustration with the game, a mistake in retrospect!
But I can think of something negative about it. When you die it takes like 10 seconds of you laying on the ground and the music toning down before you can actually restart, that gets very aggravating.
No-death run of Revenge of Shinobi, complete. This is one I've been attempting for a long, LONG time now.

But yeah that was an annoying bit, especially if you're in an already frustrating stage.
Hyper Fighting (Virtual Boy)
I've been playing it daily since the 10th, and it only gets better. :)
Hyper Fighting VB is a great game! I went to the arcade with the wife today after some lunch out and we played a bit of Super Turbo and 3rd Strike :)
Nightstar to answer your missed question - I actually really like Ken, with all the kicks and what not, but I'm trying to get into Fei and his crazy rushdown game! Not into charge characters ;)
I feel like now that I've played Hyper Fighting in all its 3D glory, I am no longer interested in playing it any other way. 3D just made the game way to much better.
How about playing it with a SNES controller? :D
If I can get the adapter then I would try playing it like that. :)
I've been getting back into my Genesis collection lately. Played through all the original Sonic games (1, 2, 3 + knuckles), since some of them I'd never actually beaten. I'd forgotten how much I love this console!
I had the same thing a couple years back. Get an RGB cable and a scanline CRT and it is GLORIOUS with some headphones to boot.

I played the Street Fighter V beta - played and won a couple of matches, not really sure what to do or try out in the beta to be honest, but what I did see was fine.
Doesn't feel like it quite has that rounded magic yet, but I am sure it'll come. Graphic presentation of menus and UI needs a lot of work, but feels placeholder.
Played as Ryu out of familiarity to get a good gauge - he felt really clunky and heavy, with fast moves that have a lof of recovery. Hoping Guy or Cody make it.
I'm still playing Hyper Fighting on VB, as it's been overly impressive.
Are there any special endings? I wanted to play through it with a SFC controller so left it for a bit, heck of a port though! The music is especially nice.
Last game I played was devil world on MAME - not the Famicom title :)
I just had a session of Gradius III on the Gradius Collection for PSP. I like to think I'm getting better at the game, but it seems to always fall apart for me after stage 3.
Hell of a soundtrack though!

Nope, just a standard port (the 3D really sets it aside from all other versions though) but I like that you can play as Ben. ;)
I also like that the character select and some levels are direct from Street Fighter Alpha, so honestly it's like an unofficial in between game of SFII: Hyper Fighting and SF: Alpha.

I started StarTropics (over?) a year ago and decided to go back and play it for real.

I just played through that and the sequel earlier this year. Loved them both.
The third boss is the magma guy, right? The one where you have to hit the switches while he's firing stuff at you? That was the first one that gave me trouble.
Other tough areas for me included the pirate ship dungeon where there were random spikes that poke out of the ground and the entire final dungeon.
I've been playing Landstalker on Genesis. Really enjoying visiting the lesser known Genesis library - lot of good stuff, not a lot of people talking about it.
Yes, Magma the Fierce.
Also, it would've been nice to know that I needed the instruction manual to get through chapter 4! :-\
Is there some kind of list of games that require items outside the actual game board itself to play the game? If not, let's start one.

A lot of the more frustrating bits would have the edge taken off of them if the designers had placed shadows beneath the platforms. There are some areas where you just have to jump and hope it's in the right direction. I actually wonder if this was a design choice or a design limitation.
At any rate, I'm about three-fourths through the game and none of the harder parts have damaged my enjoyment.
On the Startropics thing, yeah, that was a pretty big design flaw. I don't think there are that many examples like that in the NES library, but IIRC there are quite a few computer games from the 80s-90s that required the player to look up certain phrases or whatever in the manuals in order to continue. This was an early form of DRM, though, rather than a true puzzle.

I'll get there one day. I switched it up with some Gameboy Double Dragon - I haven't finished that one either yet, but it seems to be an easy game, I just need more practice.

I played a little Zelda windwaker and super monkey ball last night. Holy crap is super monkey ball addicting.
Today I played on a Donkey Kong arcade machine, which was pretty fun, until I hit level two and discovered that down on the joystick didn't work properly, so I kept getting fucked while I was trying to get down a ladder.
And, um, Micro Machines V3 on playstation, which I was a bit shit at, and an in-development indie game for Wii U called Flight of Light, which was promising and pretty cool in a hypnotic kinda way.
Moon Crystal. I have to say, they sacrificed control at the altar of animation. The control isn't terrible but it takes too long turning around and ducking... The first boss took several tries due to this.
Also some times the kid wouldn't slash when crouching? Not sure if that was a glitch or what but it happened more than once. The controls have a general sense of Prince of Persia/Flashback/Another World to them which I'm not sure I like. And the double jump is kind of temperamental as well.
I still like the game though.

Panel de Pon is one of my absolute favourite puzzle games! It's a game that screams Intelligent Systems all over, and one of the reasons I love their games.

I played a little Twilight Princess today.
What kind of things did you do inTwilight Princess?
Yes P, it is a beautiful game - though I'd never played it before I also have the handbill and a mint CIB copy filed away - I feel much better about those now that I have played it, interested to play Tetris Attack now too...
The legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. I am still near the beginning because I don't get much time to actually sit down and play through anything. I am at the point where I have been transformed in to a wolf and have just found a sword and sheild and am about to go back in to the twilight. It's pretty cool.
Panel de Pon: My favourite puzzle game. I love Vs puzzle games, and this game is perfectly balanced. Puyo Puyo on the other hand has a crappy balance.
Also, check out Pieces by Atlus on Super Nintendo. Watch a video of the gameplay, it's amazing. This game is actually pretty rare, about as rare as Earthbound but not as expensive. You can even use the SNES mouse with it and do up to 5 players.
Twilight Princess: I remember as a 12 year old, being such a huuuuge Zelda fan back when the series was at its prime (the Z in zmaster18 is Zelda btw) I was never excited for Twilight Princess. I don't like the visual style that much. Once I actually got the game in 2006, I didn't like it. My biggest complaint for this shitty Zelda game is that there's soooooo muuuuuuch stoooooory.....blah blah blah... You only get to the first dungeon after like 5 hours of gameplay. That's no fun, Zelda is all about exploration. My first playthrough of the game in '06 I only beat the 2nd dungeon and then quit. I tried playing it again last year and got in the middle of the 3rd dungeon and then quit. I will only buy the new HD remake if they somehow remove all the story elements of the game. Unfortunately, Nintendo won't do that. When looking online searching "when does Twilight Princess get fun", many other people asked the same question. It only gets fun like 15 hours in?? EFFF THAT.
Then when Skyward Sword was announced, I was a little excited. I thought it looked a bit better than Twilight Princess and I thought the Wii Motion plus controls were interesting. But once I got the game, it was ok but the story pissed me of. I almost made it to the 2nd dungeon, but you needed to go on a scavenger hunt and find 15 bugs before the door opens. After wasting 2 hours trying to find the last bug I needed, I just quit. I also hated how your sidekick Fi literally told you what to do for every single step. Dumb. So F##$cking dumb.
I am playing A Link Between Worlds on 3DS for the first time now, even though I owned it for 2 years. It's pretty good so far! ;) Also playing some Nintendo Badge Arcade on 3DS!

Yeah exactly what I meant! It's Intelligent Systems' knack for perfectionism that makes it so perfectly balanced. It's the same for their other games like Fire Emblem and Paper Mario. Puyo Puyo is my other favourite Tetris-clone besides Tetris itself, but I agree that it feels much more random than Panel de Pon. Checked out a video of Pieces and it looks great! Never played that one, thanks for the tip!

That's no fun, Zelda is all about exploration. My first playthrough of the game in '06 I only beat the 2nd dungeon and then quit. I tried playing it again last year and got in the middle of the 3rd dungeon and then quit. I will only buy the new HD remake if they somehow remove all the story elements of the game. Unfortunately, Nintendo won't do that. When looking online searching "when does Twilight Princess get fun", many other people asked the same question. It only gets fun like 15 hours in?? EFFF THAT.
Then when Skyward Sword was announced, I was a little excited. I thought it looked a bit better than Twilight Princess and I thought the Wii Motion plus controls were interesting. But once I got the game, it was ok but the story pissed me of. I almost made it to the 2nd dungeon, but you needed to go on a scavenger hunt and find 15 bugs before the door opens. After wasting 2 hours trying to find the last bug I needed, I just quit. I also hated how your sidekick Fi literally told you what to do for every single step. Dumb. So F##$cking dumb.
I think Twilight Princess is pretty cool what with being a wolf gives you abilities to speak to animals and see ghosts, but I agree that it's the least exciting of the new 3D Zeldas. Among the new 3D Zeldas I love Skyward Sword the most! It's so beautiful and although I miss the fishing mini-game I love the new bug-catching part that's replacing it. Only problem is that it's too easy, I had tons of all bugs and "rare" treasures long before I actually needed them in the late-game. It's kind of like fishing in Twilight Princess: very cool, but way too easy (the Hylian Loach is hardly challenging to get except that you need to complete a certain mini-game).
I also agree that it's dumb that Fi walk you through the game hand in hand. Tingle is even worse in Wind Waker, he gives away every single puzzle in all dungeons if you are using the Tingle Tuner. I'm glad I didn't have a GBA when I first played the game or the game would have been totally ruined. Nintendo is overly generous about giving away how to proceed in their games nowdays. I guess they are afraid that young impatient ones are going to get stuck and just give up. For us old ones that are used to getting stuck, it feels totally stupid and meaningless. Why even play a game if there's no challenge to it?
Golden Axe on the Megadrive. Good game, but not a patch on the Amiga 500 port. That reminds me, I need to fix my A500 at some point, or at least try to. Neither mouse/joystick port works...
Hylics!

Above is what all of the battles I've entered pretty much look like. $3 well-spent on Steam (and my first Steam purchase). The music is excellent too.
Here's a trailer for those interested: https://youtu.be/TgNUgeEryCM
The music in the trailer is the battle theme.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit NES (on emulator)
I've heard Hylics is very strange and weird and worth playing!
I've been playing my 3DS a lot lately. Working my way through Boxboy! and Azure Striker Gunvolt, two very good downloadable titles, as well as replaying A Link Between Worlds on Hero Mode. The game gains a lot of tension when you have 8 heart containers and some enemies can still kill you in a single hit.
Fallout 4
(http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/AOFALLOUT4_CVR_SOL_0_0.jpg)
I have never played a Fallout game before but F4 is great game! the map the gameplay the atmosphere so amazing.
Love it! 8)
I'm currently at my parents house and I played my brother's PS4 games. I didn't like any of them. Here's what I played:
-Diablo III: This game was playable, but boring and shallow. Also no music in-game.
-Bloodbourne: Awkward controls, and environments with interactive elements that do nothing. I saw like 10 doors in the first part of the game that you couldn't open. I think this is kinda dumb level design. Also no music in game.
-Guacamelee: OK, had nice style and presentation. Just a little but slow without much to do. Got bored quick.
I played some other PS4 download games but they were totally weird. I noticed that Western games don't have music, and you just play in silence. I feel like a big part of the experience is missing. I know that with Playstation and Xbox you can play your own music during gameplay, but still... the lack of a soundtrack was lame. In high school, my friend came over and laughed hysterically when he saw a CD of Super Mario Galaxy 2 on my shelf. He basically thought I was a gay faggot. There's such a huge difference between Western and Japanese gaming. I also don't like realistic, grey, and empty worlds. I really didn't enjoy these games.
I also brought my Famicom with me in my suitcase because my bro said he might want to try Goemon 2 with me. After showing him some gameplay, he said it was just too basic for him. He also said that the original Mario Bros was bad and just plain old not fun. I was actually a little bit sad he didn't want to try my games. I played his shitty PS4 games....he even just bought a 2nd PS4 controller because he thought I would like his stuff.
Man, I haven't played a game in ages. I hope to play something this weekend :) Open to suggestions, as long as it is Famicom.
Duck Tales 2. After beating the first one a couple of times this feels like a disappointment :(

I Played and finished both Dark Souls 2 and Bloodbourne, The game is great but do not compare with Dark Souls.
I think BD has awkward characters and atmosphere too but you may like it if you follow your way outside Central Yharnam.
Gave it another try. :fire:
People say Bloodbourne is one of the best of the year, but I really can't adapt to this kind of game :0 I'm kinda too old skool to get into modern games like this unfortunately. The only new game that looks awesome to me is Transformers Devastation. It looks beautiful and has the retro Transformers look. ;D
Sunset Riders (SNES)
I traded for a copy a few days ago. That was a nice cart to not have to pay cash for, and such a solid game too.
I remember when I first got a copy of Sunset Riders on Sega Genesis in 1992. My dad got it for me as a Christmas gift as well as a copy of Quackshot and at 5 years old those games were the best! My brother got Mortal Kombat and Shadow Dancer (he was 8)!
Quackshot and Shadow Dancer both only had their manuals rubber banded to them because they were used but we didn't care.
Dad would always do that back then, 1 new game each then one surprise mystery cheaper game. :)
Been playing through F-Zero on Super Famicom. Done all the leagues on Easy, one on Medium and they are getting more fun. I've yet to have any real difficulty, but I know it's coming...
I saw Mo's post - I'm still yet to finish Dark Souls 2 and am not too far through Bloodborne, but I jump back on them every now and then. SFV is going to take over though come Feb...
F-Zero and Super Mario World was my two first SNES games. F-Zero gets nasty on hard I think, haven't played it in a long time. Think I'm gonna play the MSU-1 hacked version when I get home again.
I keep meaning to set the MSU-1 version set up, I think they did a patch for BS F-Zero too! http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2505/ (http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2505/)
As for tonight - played a marathon set of Tetris Attack with my wife - she insisted on playing until she beat me solidly... We've been playing for hours and it's 1am now, time to call it a night!
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/62/Lakitu_Tetris_Attack.png)
I prefer Panel De Pon's sound and Dragon / Phoenix, but Tetris Attack has nicer visuals - and let's not forget you can play as Spot!

I picked up Pac-mania by tengen for NES in the box tonight and im having loads of fun with it :) :bomb:
very good controlls and highly addictive to anybody who liked to play the original pacmans :pacman:
lots of new powerups and new enemies that jump/speed up.
:pacman: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin:
I played Battle Mania on MegaDrive - VERY good game I was pleasantly surprised!
I played some super smash bros melee the other day. I suck badly at it, but the more I play it, the more I like it(I used to detest it and swore by the n64 smash bros)
You should try Smash 4 on the Wii U! It's my favorite version, not because I'm better at it than any of the others, but because it's fun to be able to choose from so many characters. The stages are really cool, too. Plus, they've added Hyrule Castle and a few other maps from the N64 version!
Last game I played was Super Monkey Ball Deluxe on PS2. I finally picked one up after several years of not having a working one because I remembered there had been one sitting in a cabinet at my university's newspaper that no one had claimed in over two years, so I took that liberty. :D
And rightly so. Five that monkey ball game a good home. I'm sorry it was neglected for so long!
Once I get a wiiu(probably when the NX comes out, I'll give it a whirl.
The new Smash Bros is good. I have always mained as Luigi since Melee.
I tried playing Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U without the gamepad. I started it up and it said I need to fix my internet settings. So I go back to the home menu and open up the settings. It tells me to connect the gamepad first. I don't have a gamepad, so I can't access the settings. Fuck this stupid contraption made by Nintendo. I actually think this is the worst designed console ever. The games are good, but the interface and menus and requirement for the gamepad totally suck.
I'm locked out of more than 90% of the Wii U games I bought because I can't connect a gamepad to load the game. This is BULL. Mario Kart 8 is one of the few games you can load without the gamepad. But since I couldn't access the settings, I can't play online. I can also confirm that Wind Waker HD can be loaded without a gamepad as well as the disk version of Shovel Knight.
I can't even play NES Remix without connecting the gamepad, even though I play with the Wii remote. WTF is up with that? I...I just don't understand what Nintendo was thinking. Unless they update all the games, this will piss me off for the rest of my life. What a huge mistake...
I always pick Luigi on Smash, too. ;D
Any reason you don't have a gamepad for your Wii U?

Luigi is the best character ever, I love his variety of moves and his style :P
I sold my Wind Waker HD bundle gamepad about a year ago. I researched before I sold it if i needed it to play the games. Well, the answers I found weren't very clear. You do need the gamepad to load games. :(
I do plan on either buying a new gamepad for about $150-200, or just paying $350 for a new Wii U bundle and then just selling the console and other parts I don't need. Nintendo still doesn't sell the gamepad by itself yet!
I need the gamepad to also play Mario Maker and I want to download the new Art Academy.
Ahh, that makes sense. Can you plug in an ethernet cable and get online that way? It should be plug and play without having to access the settings screen. Otherwise, maybe you can borrow a gamepad to get everything set up until you get one.

Maybe I should try the ethernet cable method. I just need to find one somewhere.
Fallout4, Naval Fighter, Poker and bridge are some of my favorite games and the last game I played was Fallout4.

I think you can use the Pro Controller as a replacement for the Gamepad when controlling the Wii U (to load games, change settings etc).
Fallout 4 for modern games.
Final Fantasy Legend for retrogames.
I have been playing a little bit of Xbox 360 lately. I never got in to Xbox but lately have been tinkering with one. The last game I played was Sonic and Sega allstars racing.
Twinbee for Famicom. Either this game is a lot harder than it looks...or I'm just really bad at older SHMUP style games...
I just ordered TwinBee and I can't wait to try it. I hope it is hard; I like FC games to last me a long time.

Me too! 35 hours in, got all the poes and Hyrule Castle is next. Too bad they fixed the fishing rod trick against Ganondorf though, that used to be
the trick I used against him. Oh well, will do it for real this time
Castlevania: SOTN. The temptation was too strong and I finally decided to emulate it. I really don't usually like emulating, but I can't really buy a PlayStation right now. This is such an amazing game, and much harder than I expected it to be. I'm currently in the Outer Wall stage of the game.
Tetris, on my Twin Fami.
Mario kart 8. I just got a Wii u, and you know what. It's pretty sweet!
Nangoku Shonen Papuwa-kun on Super Famicom.
I didn't know this game existed up until a week ago, but it's fun. Made by the same developer as Violinist of Hameln.
Super Mario Bros 3.
I've been hammering away at Roger Clemens MVP Baseball (NES) this weekend. I had the game growing up, and I was horrible at it. Now I'm finding it pretty easy. I've won 19 games in a row and am very close to clinching a spot in the playoffs. It's a game that's worth 10 points in the Nintendo Age NES Challenge, but it's really just because most people find playing 40+ games of an NES baseball game too boring to attempt.
NES remix pack for the Wii u. Fun game in my opinion.
I've been trying to beat Nuclear Throne for the last few days. Can get to the last level, but can't quite beat it yet, and annoyingly it crashes a lot on PS4 when you fail :(
(http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/nuclear-throne/images/0/04/Character_Steroids.png/revision/latest?cb=20150510121247)
Got a 1LC in Section Z (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3liYo1uYwBo), NES version.
Half-Life 2. Getting into a bit of PC gaming.
Civilization 2
And working on getting Windows games to play nicely with my hardware through WINE. There's no reason a netbook shouldn't be able to play Freelancer smoothly, but I refuse to have a Windows partition.
Hellnight for Playstation, after I slammed my head against the wall a billion times to get it working on my NTSC PS2. Lol. Now that I got it running, and centered, I can play it proper.
I spent some quality time with Spiritual Warfare (NES) over the weekend. I've not quite beaten it, as the Demon's Lair sections are pretty hard.

I've beaten that game once before. It's actually pretty good at least gameplay-wise. They chose a good game to rip off.
Personally I've been playing Xandra no Daibouken for SNES, aka Whirlo. Decent game but it's annoying that all the special attacks and moves leave you open for attacks, and
since there are one hit kills... I've read people saying the game is hard, but it didn't have to be.
alright then, nobody has played a game for 3 months now.
I've been playing Layers of Fear on PS4. It's a recent indie horror title and I am finding it pretty entertaining.
I was playing those olympics mini-games that google put out. Got three stars on all of them eventually. Coconut BMX was highly annoying.
I played Mobile Light Force on the PS1. I do wish we just got a straight localisation instead, I want an ac tual ending just argh >:(
Duck Hunt on NES. The clay pigeon game is underrated. :P
Download on PC-Engine
Crash bandicoot on psx.
As an aside, I have no idea what my two year old did, but he somehow made crash go purple for a second.
So I was playing a ROM hack of Tecmo Super Bowl just now made by the American Tecmo Association. They update the rosters to modern players, but didn't use every team in this edition (which I think is from 2006, according to the hacked copyright on the title screen).
The Buccanneers, which were one of the neglected teams, literally had every player renamed to "Not Avail." (I should know, I took a sack from one and his full name popped up.) Worse yet, all the Not Avails on the Bucs had their personal attributes all reduced to bare minimums: the whole team was so slow and weak!
I learned tonight that the score counter only has two digits, because it stopped counting after I went up 99-0. It did keep accurate by-quarter scores though, so I know I actually won the game 129-0. I think I literally scored every way possible: offensive rush, offensive pass, fumble return, interception return, kickoff return, punt return, and safety. I even ran a kickoff I was returning for a touchdown out of bounds at the 1 just so I could kick a field goal.
I think I seriously had 5 or 6 safeties on kickoff returns (because the game doesn't recognize touchbacks on kickoffs). This team was so overmatched it couldn't even reliably run the kick out of the endzone before I tackled the return man.
I even got a shot of my final statistics screen for proof. My offensive numbers were only so low because I kept scoring so many non-offensive TDs.

Gargoyle's Quest II(Red Areemer 2) on Famicom
Finally got past the broken bridge with the moving platforms I had such trouble with, beat a couple more stages with 2 bosses, the last one of which(the frog-looking thing) I beat it with the last possible shot JUST before it was to slam into me and one my last life, that was a glorious moment.
Wild Guns Remastered! Tough game but has a good learning curve! I shall beat you!
I decided to revisit Ganbare Goemon 2.
Sorry to say, but even with two players this seems just as frustrating and tedious as its predecessor.
I'm playing Metal Gear Solid for the first time. ;D I always thought this was a cool game, but I didn't have a Playstation growing up. ;D It's much more awesome after playing Metal Gear/2: Solid Snake. ;D Oh my God, the VR Mission music. ;D

Might I also recommend the game "Metal Gear Solid VR Missions"
I've been playing Crash Twinsanity on XBOX. It's a great game but man is it ever full of bugs.
I've also been playing some Resident Evil 7. That game is Crazy. Feels a lot more like the originals though.
I'm still soaking up Nioh and loving every bit of it. Really fun game and tons in there to boot.
Finished Another Metroid 2 Remake a few days ago. It's a shame Nintendo prohibited the author to work on it any further.
Finished the first disc on Metal Gear Solid, but the second disc won't load after the disc swap :(
It works fine on its own, though. ???
Blood for DOS.
Still playing (and loving) Nioh, after giving it a bit of a break when I moved house.
Persona 5 has taken over my life
P4 was my favorite game ever, so I preordered the collector's edition of P5. It has not disappointing. Absolutely love it.
Good! I have really been into it~! I'm like a third of the way done with it and might just play it again!
Pocky & Rocky - didn't think this game was going to be so hard. :-[ Made it to the third stage.
Been playing a lot of Overwatch lately. Just played possibly my best game ever and got a 24 player killstreak, 1 death, and play of the game with D.va ;D ;D ;D
Donkey Kong Country 3.
Am I missing something? There doesn't seem to be any background story in the beginning. It just throws you in without any context.
Then again, I don't remember DKC2 had any either. ??? At least the first one had the banana hoard missing.
SNES Drunk did a really good review of the three DK games I thought. For me there are some parallels with the (original) Star Wars films. They both nailed it on the second entry in the series ;)

Ooh! I'll take a look at that once I beat this game. By the way, made it to Poisonous Pipeline... yeah, I'm not having any of that.
I recently beat DKC2 for the first time (although I still have lost world and lots of secrets to find). I think it's thematically a bit more boring than DKC1 and 3 because it's almost only dark levels, but it's definitively more challenging than DKC1 (which maybe is a bit on the easy side).

Yeah, and everyone's a pirate! I just finished DKC3 and now I'm going to 100% it. It feels much easier compared to DKC2, but the frustration level ramps up at the last few stages.
I didn't bother with the Lost World on DKC2 because I didn't even know what I was looking for / supposed to be doing. On DKC3 I now know to look at the flags on the world map to see if I've 100%ed a stage.
Yeah I never knew about the "!" marks as a kid in DKC1, so it was very hard to know what secrets was still missing in what stages. As a result I never exceeded past 98% I think.
But now I 101%'d DKC1 so I'm aiming to do that (or rather 102% and 105% respectively) with DKC2 and 3 as well (I beat DKC3 before but never 105%'d it). Then we have the Donkey Kong Land series...
I finally did it! I have 100%!
Wait. ???
Haha Rare has a strange idea of how percentage works.
Super Mario World has 96 as the highest clear rate, but at least that game doesn't pretend it to be percent, it's just a level exit counter that counts how many exits have been unlocked.

Last I checked, there was 97 (but it's a glitch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0XW2N3cKCI Now it seems it's up to 108! :o And apparently the Japanese rom counts these up.
Anyway, I'm at 103% on DKC3 and I have no desire to play the game again on hard just for that extra 2%. I have other games to play. (http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/890/853/326.gif)

I finally got around to playing Mega Man 9. :-[
If you play on the Wii (or Wii U) I recommend to grab both Megaman 9 and 10 and all the DLC for both games from the Wii Shop very soon. I think Nintendo are discontinuing it this year and you won't be able to add Wii Points after Mars.

I recently bought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Odyssey. I finally played Odyssey for the first time today. I already like it more than Mario Galaxy 2. We will see if it beats Mario Sunshine as well.
I'm probably not alone in this, but Mega Man 9 doesn't seem that fun. :-\

I enjoyed it overall, but the end was just annoying. I ended up abusing my e-tanks in order to finish it.
Yep, that's what I did. (not as bad as Mega Man 7.)
But this was seriously one of my favorite final bosses ever! I saved an M Tank, and you could use literally any weapon and it had an effect.
Mega Man 9 can best be described as... tiring. A good game but so frustrating. Still, not as bad as Mega Man 8. JUMP. JUMP. SLIDE. SLIDE.
I'm with UglyJoe, I think it's a great game. Only a part of the game near the end is frustrating because you have to redo a very slow part where you have to ride bubbles upwards every time you die at a certain point in the castle. Other than that I think it's a great game deserving the Rockman name.
Rockman 10 is a bit easier but not as much frustrating, it's also a good Rockman game.

I don't know if the exits would overlay perfectly if you stacked them on top of each other, but it looks pretty darn close. :o Are there any other games that do this sort of thing?
Yes, they do! This proves it:

Getsufumaden. Starts out pretty so-so, once you get some items and buy some stuff, it gets better. But, it's a "guide game". I have no idea where to go and I don't want to be just wandering around.

The music is great in this one. It's not so bad until I think near the end there is 3D dungeon sections that you need a guide for. There are also those guys that fully heal you in an area so pretty manageable difficulty. :pow:
After about 15-20 years I started playing Ocarina of Time again on the Gamecube no less. I'm surprised The master Quest disc isn't insanely expensive. One of the best games ever made no question. I'm just starting the Fire Temple right now. I missed about maybe 20-37 percent of the items and subquests but I will work on finishing the rest later. This game takes me back when my brothers played it on our original N64 but I was too young to get into the game. I remember when Slim Shady was played on the Radio and they were at Gerudo Valley crossing the bridge. So many memories but I appreciate the game full force now.
I never got on well with OoT, but it is of course considered a masterpiece.
I like the music, especially the darker pieces.
Played some RAF World tonight and got my butt kicked.
Then played some Doki Doki Panic, I think I prefer it to Super Mario USA, the theme fits better but I don't like that you are basically stuck with one character if you want to progress. That was definitely a good move to fix that for SMB2.
RoboCop III (NES)
I always get to the 3rd stage and the graphics start to scramble and the game eventually freezes. :upsetroll:
Edit: Finally started Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock Version. :) It wasn't the Dual Shock version. :(
Capcom Sports Club - great game (three games) I never got to play first time round.

This reminds me I have to try the RE2 remake, it looks killer. They did such a good job with the RE7 controls on PC, how the series was meant to be in my opinion.
Link's Awakening on Switch.
Has the frame skip bothered anyone here that's been playing, including you?
Yeah, the frame skip is annoying. I swear it was near single-digit frame rate in front of Bottle Grotto with Bow-Wow in tow. Very surprising for a Nintendo game.
That said, though, it didn't stop me from playing the game until the battery on my Switch died yesterday :-[
Almost picked this up, but I took the Fire Emblem game instead. Might pick it up some time later though.
Is there any new things in this version besides the new chamber dungeons (just no spoilers please)? I already have both the original and the DX version.
I'm not sure I like that you have to use the analogue joystick despite that you can only move in 8 directions.
The slowdown also seems annoying. Hopefully they fix this with an update patch.
Just played through Arkham Asylum for the first time, man it was an absolute blast to play.
I worked on that game! :bub:
Played some more Sekiro - wish I had more time to blast through.
I am sure I am in the minority, but I could not get into Luigi's Mansion 2 at all. The controls are not great and it is very slow paced. It's been 2 decades since I played the first but there is no way it was like this. Or it was and I was a lot more tolerant to games like this. Still going to try 3 once the Mrs is done with it.

Why don't you guys try co-op? My girlfriend isn't a big gamer aside from a few 4 player games, but I think Gooigi's character will appeal to her to want to play through the game once we buy it!
@L___E___T: Can you tell us anything about working on the Batman game? :-[
I've been playing Dragon Quest XI S lately and having a blast. It's as much of a classic RPG as ever! You play as the hero meeting the king and setting out to save the world from evil! I've already met a thief in the castle dungeon, fought a huge a dragon (or more like was chased by it), learned to forge my own weapons, participated in a horse race for knights, and was joined by a cleric, a jester and a very small mage.
It has a classic class system and each character gets skills and spells that matches their class using a nice skill point system without unecessary experimenting.
I'm very pleased to see that NPC interaction hasn't really changed at all since the earlier games in the series. NPCs usually only have one thing to say and repeat that if you talk to them multiple times. This may change between day and night (although mostly not in this game) and (more often) after events happens. There are quite a few cut scenes (fully voiced in the S version) that makes the story proceed, but still most of the story details simply comes from speaking to NPCs, just like how about all DQ games and earlier FF games works.
Something that has changed though is the battle view. I can't see the first-person perspective anywhere. There are two camera modes, one where the character to give orders to is able to "move freely" (although just cosmetic as it has no practical influence on the battle system) and one with fixed camera. Both modes feels very Final Fantasy though. This is not a big problem, but I think it's a bit of a pity that this part of its classic RPG roots finally had to go. At least 2D mode still has the traditional view though.
Another thing that has changed and which is worse, is the world map. There is no real world map, instead there are quite large areas that limits the player by a number of exits which connects to other large areas, dungeons or towns. These large areas is the closest thing to a world map, and it seems like it's scaled down or else the distance between towns would be very short, but they are much more limiting than real world maps are. I prefer real world maps that limits the player's movement in a more clever way. Instead they just block off the paths to areas you are not supposed to go to yet, usually a guard requiring a travel passport or something, and after you have saved some town or something and advanced the story you got the passport and can proceed. This makes it feel much more linear than earlier games. At least there are no hand holding though, just an NPC (marked by a special icon) that cleverly hints the player where to go to next in case the player haven't played for a while and needs a refresher. It never feels like a repeating tutorial or hand-holding fairy.
The other poorly done thing is encounters. Random encounters is gone (which I don't miss too much though) but instead you see monsters roaming around the map and get in battle with them if you touch them. Would be fine by me if it wasn't for the fact that monsters are almost blind! If you get close enough for them to see you they might chase you but they are too slow to catch you and chances are they run instead (in which case they are quite fast) if you are strong enough. This means that you are never forced to battle if you don't want to. 2D mode is more like a totally different game since random encounters are back.
A third thing that I dislike is the difficulty which is just waaay to low (even if we ignore the fact that you almost never have to fight). Now I created my hero using a password from DQ1 where I'd beaten the game which means I started out at level 9 in DQ11 and the beginning was very easy. But I've played for a while now so this shouldn't matter anymore and the game is still lacking any kind of challenge. I hope it gets better later in the game.
There are new "Shibari Play" (Draconian Quests in English) options that raises difficulty, but I don't think they seem to be very fun except maybe the one where NPCs are lying, stronger monsters or the one that makes party members suddenly remember awkward moments in battle. Things like disabling shopping seems just like the wrong way to raise difficulty in an RPG. I'm not going to touch any Shibari Play options on my first play-through though.
Despite these disappointments, I think that overall the game feels like a worthy game of the Dragon Quest main series, and I'm happy that the series haven't lost its charm at all!
I got the Gorgeous version (which is really just the standard cartridge but with a special slide case, label and comes with an expansion pass code for the DLC) so I got the voice drama and those DLC trinkets that are free in the English version (Champion's Pack).
While the series continues to be orthodox, the modern English translations continues to be controversial (from what I've heard, I'm not playing it in English). The hero is now a "luminary" which is a term they previously used for a jester prestige class (supterstar). It's a freaking hero (yuusha) you idiots! Like in every previous DQ game (and parody) in history!

I tried my hand at Mercenaries Mode on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (PS1 version). After many failed attempts with Nicholai, I decided to quit. I don't have time for this shit.
I also noticed they spam hunters a lot. I mean, I didn't particularly have fun with 4th Survivor, but at least the enemies were more varied there: zombies, dogs, spiders, more zombies, more dogs, more spiders, lickers, more zombies, Tyrant, crawling zombies, more lickers, plant zombies, you get the point.
Not: hunters, more hunters, hey, look, more hunters!
I've been playing a lot of games recently, and it's been ups and downs.
Holy Umbrella(SFC) - Awesome
Gimmick - Very good, got to stage 4
True Lies(SFC) - So-so, it's really hard to aim, generally I need to strafe all the time to hit anything
Hammerin' Harry(FC) - Good, but frustrating(just like most Gen-san games, except the SFC one)
Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 1-3(PS2 and PSP, aka the Disaster Report games) Good, Great and Pretty good respectively. Now I want to play number 4 and Kyoei Toshi, but I don't have a PS4 ;(
Undercover AD2025 Kei(Dreamcast) - Awful controls but has some decent underlying ideas. Needs savescumming to make progress however.
Samurai Kid(GBC) - Very good!
Ganbare Goemon!(FC) - Finally figured out how the game works! Made it to stage 4
I attempted the "A" rank in Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (PS1). I was pleasantly surprised (just 10 more seconds and I would've missed it!). :gamer:
I've recently been taking a second go at Devil May Cry 1 after initially not knowing what to do in the first room(sounds dumb, but the game doesn't make it obvious that red orbs OPEN A HECKING DOOR). It's been pretty fun-controls and leveling system aren't as good as God of War in my opinion, but I like the music, look, and atmosphere better. After I finish the series, I'mma move on to Bayonetta, see how that is.
A couple days ago I finally finished Stinkoman 20X6! 8)
Due to Flash's end of support in January 2021, I finally decided to start playing the Flash games that were on my back burner, starting with Rokko-Chan. ;)
Next, I'll play Abobo's Big Adventure. ;D
Edit: Finished both!
Since the series is turning 35 this year, I decided to try and play all the mainline Dragon Quest games this year (except for DQX due to the language barrier). Currently playing the SNES version of Dragon Quest III thanks to a fan translation.
Dragon Warrior I (Super Game Boy)Dragon Warrior II (Super Game Boy)- Dragon Quest III (SNES)
- Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS)
- Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (DS)
- Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (DS)
- Dragon Warrior VII (PS1)
- Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (3DS)
- Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (DS)
- A spin-off game. Not sure which one yet.
- Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age- Definitive Edition (PS4)
Besides Dragon Quest though, I've been replaying a bit of Battle Kid: Fortress of Peril. Haven't played that game in like 10 years and other than a few rooms and a certain boss, the game actually isn't that terribly hard. Certainly made the Mega Man games a breeze to play after beating the game all those years ago.
Metal storm after hearing about it from SSFF, its so good
Earthbound for 3DS! First time playing it, having a blast so far. :)
Odin Sphere for the PS2, great game in my opinion.
Super Variable Geo for Super Famicom, or as MaarioS/VegaVegas described it: "fighting waifus". And as I expected, I sucked at it just like at any other VS fighting games. I'm looking for a scan of the manual for this one, by the way, so I can look up moves for each character.
I'm playing the Assassin's Creed Odyssey at this moment. I think it is the best game from the Assassin series. Excellent graphic and a very interesting story!
Pepsiman for the PS1. Yep, this strange curiosity that's not that great of a game and it's more an interactive advertisement. I doubt if I would touch this one if it weren't for the strange, if not straight-up ludicrous premise that doesn't make much sense. But with the protagonist like that, Mike Butters playing a painfully stereotypical American redneck in the cutscenes and that catchy, ear-worm theme song played throughout the whole game, Pepsiman provides that funny, what-the-fucky experience even if the game is fundamentally flawed. With its difficulty spikes, this game could be an arcade title as well. Just think for a second - an arcade Pepsiman game where you win actual Pepsi cans for beating a level, that would be cool! Pepsi for T.V.-Game!

Perfect summary ;D
I have no regrets burning it to a CD-R to play it during college, but I would never want to try and get through the whole game.
Adventure Island 3 for NES.
I've been sick, so I finally had time to plug in my NES and get back to playing something on my backlog:
Archon - Kinda fun game, but not really; very bare bones. The CPU isn't too much of a challenge; I feel like playing as the Dark Side is slightly easier.
Airball - Okay, I bought this game long ago in support of its release and I finally get to play it! It looks like it's trying to be like Marble Madness / Snake Rattle Roll, but it's biggest problem is not having a shadow for your ball when in the air, so it's hard to tell where you're at at times. Other than that, frustrating controls (because it's isometric), precision movements will get you killed constantly, and not knowing that was a pumpkin behind a wall cost me lots of time, urgh! And this is easy mode. I don't know what I would do without the hover button.
Anyway, I was pretty close to finishing the game without a map (that damn pumpkin!) before I went on GameFAQs.
Edit: Played some S.C.A.T. today, heheh, scat. :P The game was much tougher than I thought it'd be. That second stage boss just wouldn't die. >:( I also didn't realize this game fetched over $200 on eBay. :o Does someone want to buy my copy when I'm done? Unfortunately, the label is somewhat damaged/pealing. :( But it's still completely intact (no rips).
A month ago I've played and finished
Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity. Overall a mediocre adventure game, it's quite short and I had to use a guide to finish it, but the humor is spot-on with the show, which is one of the main reasons why I've played through it in the first place.

You said...
scat. Uhh-uhuhuh, huhuhuh, huhuhuh. Yeah, why couldn't they just name this game Final Mission worldwide is beyond me. I've managed to beat this one in one credit after several continue-ridden attempts that ended at the penultimate or final stage. Oh boy, and the Japanese original is even more harder than that due to several gameplay changes.
I decided to do a little Metroid marathon (main series only) to prepare for Metroid Dread. I finished the FDS game and managed to pick up all missile and energy tanks. I've never done that before, so that felt great!
Now I'm continuing with the Game Boy game. It's mostly linear enough to play without drawing a map, so that is nice. I'm looking forward to Super Metroid as I think it's probably the best game in the series so far.

Nice. Though Metroid was the first NES game I pretty much had, I never really beat it from beginning to end. But I'd like to try with the FDS version.
Metroid II was the only Metroid game I 100%ed. (I was bored and in Iraq.)
Super Metroid is my favorite and is just pure awesome.
I've yet to play Fusion.
Today I played Star Force. What a tedious game! I'm not even going to attempt cheating at it. I read there are 24 stages, and it's repetitive.
Some people expected Fusion to be more like Super Metroid and was disappointed. I loved it when it was new, especially as there are more story than earlier games but I agree that Super Metroid is still the best game in the series. I forgot the story in Fusion though which is one reason I'm doing this marathon before I play Dread. "Marathon" is maybe not the right term as I play very occasionally, but I'm playing them in order.
I read that Fusion was the last chronological game in the story up to date. Is Dread after that? I haven't played anything after Prime, but I'll probably check out playthroughs of Echoes, Corruption, etc.
Yes Metroid Fusion is also officially called Metroid 4 in the intro just like Super Metroid is called Metroid 3 in its intro. Metroid Dread follows the same pattern and calls itself Metroid 5, indicating that it's the next installment in the main series. The chronological order is simply 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Prime and Other M are basically gaiden chapters and takes place between 2 and 3 for Prime and between 3 and 4 for Other M. I haven't played Prime 2, Prime 3 or Prime Hunters but I think you can basically skip them. Other M has good story and prequels Fusion, but gameplay is worse than the 2D games, though not worse than Prime. Metroid doesn't work very well in 3D IMHO.
One thing I thought was fun with Metroid Fusion was that you are forced to run away from a stronger enemy that is sneaking around the space station (fits pretty well with how Metroid is inspired by Alien). Dread supposedly builds on to that theme.

Like Nemesis? I look forward to that.
I just completed S.C.A.T. (but I used the stage select, because screw playing it all over again). Final stage was brutal, but final boss was pretty easy.
Yeah I guess it's similar to Nemesis. It's not all the time (you have time to explore like normal) and I don't want to spoil anything, but in a few parts of the game you face an opponent that you just have no chance to beat due to circumstances.
Finished Super Cars (what a generic name!) and now playing Where in the Hell Is Carmen Sandiego? ???
Currently playing Boulder Dash for NES. I really want to like this game, but the sheer frustration I get from accidentally moving in the wrong direction coupled with very limited time in the later levels is killing it for me. :bomb:
Edit: Completed the first loop! No way in hell I'm attempting the second one.
I've always loved Boulder Dash and other Dig-Dug clones like Mr Do. I've never played the NES version though.
Do other versions of Boulder Dash have this garbage? https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/nes/587153-boulder-dash/map/376-level-6-3-map
Heh I don't know, I played it as a kid and haven't played any variant of Boulder Dash in many years. I think about every Boulder Dash clone is unique though, and I played a bunch of them, I'm not even sure which is the original one. According to Wikipedia it seems to be developed for the Atari 8-bit family first, and apparently "the first home computer title to be converted to an arcade console".
Mario Bros. [Arcade Style] on my Famicom
The Suffering, one of my favourite PS2 games. A great game in my opinion.
Dick Tracy (NES)
Was having fun until I realized there was going to be platforming in this. :(
Konami's famous Tokimeki Memorial for Super Famicom, finally available in English thanks to the DDS Translations group. It's my first take at the dating sim genre, so this is gonna be a beautiful failure :P This reminds me of a scene in Full Metal Panic anime, where Sagara struggles with a game like this.
So that game was finally translated to English huh?
It's not the best version of the game but this is a cursed one that no one was able to finish so it's a good thing that it's finally done.
It's also one of the biggest heavy-hitting and super influential franchises of the '90s that hasn't been available in English until now so it's relieving to hear that someone could finally lift that two decade old curse. It inspired other big-name games like Sakura Taisen and Harvest Moon, and popularized the stat-training style of life-simulation games that first took off with Princess Maker by Gainax, so yeah its cultural importance is immense.
Serves Konami right for wanting us to forget the game by being one of two games not included in the international versions of the PC-Engine Mini.
This game is all about defusing bombs. :bomb: You have to balance everything so that you don't light too many fuses too soon and at the same time avoid spilling oil on the ones already lit. :fire:
Quote from: P on March 10, 2022, 02:01:52 pmThis game is all about defusing bombs. (https://www.famicomworld.com/forum/Smileys/diskkun/bobomb.gif)
Welp, there's indeed a flashing bomb symbol next to one girl's name ;D I remember accidentally skipping a date with her which made her MAD at me.
Heheh, told ya I'm gonna screw something up! :-[ This is harder than piloting Vic Viper against yet another fleet of the Bacterions ;)
Yeah it's a Konami game alright and it can become very stressful. :-[ The girls are ruthless, don't underestimate their innocent smiles and always expect the worst.
Bombs are unavoidable, but you want most of them to come as late as possible so don't be too nice to other girls too soon (but don't be an ass either). A bomb going off is not too bad if you still have a year or so to recover from it, but late in the game the damage can be devastating and you are probably juggling almost 10 girls around that time, which can get very intense.
Just calling or talking to a girl probably helps lengthening her fuse a bit, but only a successful date can disarm a bomb (for the time being) AFAIK.
If you fail it's not the end of the world, and in that case at least you have seen the bad ending. I don't know what you get in the SFC version, but in the PC-Engine version you unlock a Free Talk for every girl you win the game with, and Yoshio's Free Talk is unlocked even if you get the bad ending as consolation. There are also two STG minigames (which are different for each version of the game) that can be unlocked and be played at any time from the Omake option, but I think the SFC and GBC versions are missing those. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Super Mario Kart (SNES) for the first time.
Gonna be honest here, not enjoying it. I find I'm at the mercy of the RNG. I tend to stay first the first four laps then get item bombed on the fifth.
I understand this is the first Mario Kart, but it's still frustrating beyond belief. I took advice and learned the courses through the Time Trials but that hardly helped: opponents constantly knocking you off course, running out of coins and spinning out, and boosters (which aren't in Time Trial) all ruin your good run.
I think the biggest problem (which was fixed in all the sequels) is how much you get punished for little mistakes.
I also don't understand how Toad is slower than Yoshi? Whatevs, made it to Rainbow Road, got Silver. >:( F this game. Tried to enjoy it.
What SMK is easily the best game in the series. Later games are usually waaay too easy, with some exceptions (like Mario Kart Advance).
Rather than RNG I think it's the rubber banding that kills you. No matter how good you are there is always going to be someone behind you, so you will have to learn to handle them. If you shoot a CPU opponent it will also get super rubber banding speed until it's back in its original position. Their original positions are determined by how many points they currently have (for the first race it is determined by player 1's driver choice), so it will only change if you are able to shoot someone right before the finish line so he gets less points than he is supposed to.
The driver stats are found here (https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Kart#Drivers), but I'm not sure how accurate it is. They suggest that each pair (Mario & Luigi, Princess & Yoshi etc) are identical, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case. I play well with Mario and Toad but can't handle Luigi and Koopa Troopa very well for some reason.
Toad is said to have both slower acceleration and top-speed than Yoshi, but if you look at the acceleration chart you can see that Toad overtakes Yoshi after 8 seconds, so acceleration is not a linear thing. His top-speed is only 120 km/h compared to Yoshi's 125 km/h, but that is only on asphalt. On most other surfaces Toad wins even against DK Jr.
That, plus the fact that Toad has the best handling in the game, means that Toad (and Koopa Troopa) is easily the best driver in the game overall. Especially on Special Cup that has the hardest tracks in the game. Toad is easily my favorite and I have won gold on all cups in the game using him. It's kind of weird that the manual claims that Toad and Koopa & Troopa are best for beginners when they are best for advanced players as well on the harder tracks.
A cool trick:
In most modes you can shrink your character permanently by holding Y and pressing A on the kart select screen. You still retain your normal top speed (unlike when hitting a poison mushroom) but this is mostly a handicap for your opponents. You can abuse it by playing 2-player GP and shrink the second player to get one opponent less.
2-player GP also reduces the number of certain hazards (like pipes and Thwomps), making the game a bit easier.
If you got someone to help you, you can also have a second player (shrinked or not) that waits each lap and tries to shoot your biggest rival the final lap.
There is also a trick that allows you to save one Time Trial ghost to SRAM, but you would have to look that up. A bit weird that it requires a trick not mentioned in the manual.
Edit:
There is certain techniques that are important to know in order to use things like banana peels on CPU opponents. They follow the track by aiming for certain invisible checkpoints, and they will always drive identically every lap unless a human player (or other external factor) can change that. This means that there is a very narrow line that they effectively follow for each track, and each driver pair has their own set line that they follow due to their different physics (this also means that Yoshi will often fall victim for the Princess' mushrooms and vice versa). Look for landmarks where you know they pass and try to put banana peels and green shells (press DOWN+A) there. Never throw banana peels forward (UP+A) unless you play against human players (and you have a very good aim), because the chance that it will land on the lines the opponents follows each lap is very slim (unless you have a REALLY good aim).
One such landmark is exactly in the middle of the finish line of the first track in the game. An especially cruel one is between the second zipper from the left and the next zipper on that big jump over the track in Mario Circuit 2. The opponent slipping on a banana peel here will not have enough speed to make the jump and will have to go around the final hairpin curve again. If this is the final lap they will very likely not be able to rubber band their cheating ass back to position before the finish line, so it's a good way to eliminate an opponent with too many points.
When I said RNG I meant the items, because I assumed it was rigged like this: https://youtu.be/7suvd4UA6cU
I immediately realized that even the first Mario Kart used the crappy
same cpus place in the top every time design I hate. It would've been more interesting if everyone was hard, but cpus weren't rigged to place the same every time, then you'd have some leeway.
As for drivers, I suck with Koopa Troopa; I tried 100cc Special Cup, but I could not, for the lifeforce of me, keep up with anybody. I can't use anyone with slow acceleration because there are too many tight curves and drifting won't work due to oversteering (usu. into water) or understeering (the road is too tight to keep a good drift) that I have to slow down anyway).
I get the best results from Yoshi and can manage his steering (I haven't played as Peach yet).

This begs the question...
so if I'm always small...
does that mean if I touch a poison mushroom I become even smaller?! :o
Edit: NM, you turn big, don't you?
Edit: I tried this feature. You get flattened by your opponents when they run into you. How is this an advantage?
Anyway, I'd rather not cheese the game (yet). I almost got gold on 100cc Star Cup due to the cpu racers eating lots of ass on Vanilla Lake. It's heavily luck-based, but it's not unfeasible.
I assume 150cc is entirely optional? :-\
Edit: Somehow I made it to Rainbow Road with 30 points and Toad and Bowser behind with 19 each and I still couldn't even place 4th because those damn Thwomps take up too much space and the options are:
a. run into one and spin out
b. slow down, get rammed by another racer
c. drive off the road
Option b often ends up with me falling off the road anyway.
It's not that the road is too narrow, that there's no barriers, that the corners are sharp; it's all three of these coupled with cheating ai with unlimited items who knock you off course combined with trying to time thwomps.
To hell with this game! >:( I've seen enough. :mario: <- me walking away
Edit: Okay, I'm going to try
your shrink technique with two players. (https://i.imgur.com/9imSpNB.gif) <- me walking back :-[
Edit: Okay, I managed to finish with Gold only because there were less thwomps on Rainbow Road. No other reason (except maybe Bowser falling behind and Koopa Troopa/DK Jr. being my rivals). I also noticed less ice blocks on Vanilla Lake, making traversing also manageable.
I think the amount of hazards on one player breaks this game's difficulty. If someone hacked this game to reduce them to the amount in two players, then that would be (chef's kiss) magnifico!

Yeah well the items do indeed represent the luck factor in this game. But you basically need skills to make up for bad luck. Then to win in the end you may need that small push of luck that never seems to come (like a mushroom or red shell near the end of the final track when you are only a few points behind the leader who is ahead of you).
Also like all other MK games, your position determines what items you can get and their probability. You will get mostly green shells, coins and banana peels when in first while stars and thunder basically requires a very bad position.
The Mario Party RNG thing is probably that the RNG seed was already determined when you made that save state, so the result will always be the same no matter when you stop the dice. On later Mario Party I suppose the seed keeps rolling every frame when the die is spinning.
Many games only change the RNG seed when on the title screen or a pause menu or something. Of course these games are not designed with save states in mind.
QuoteI immediately realized that even the first Mario Kart used the crappy same cpus place in the top every time design I hate. It would've been more interesting if everyone was hard, but cpus weren't rigged to place the same every time, then you'd have some leeway.
As for drivers, I suck with Koopa Troopa; I tried 100cc Special Cup, but I could not, for the lifeforce of me, keep up with anybody. I can't use anyone with slow acceleration because there are too many tight curves and drifting won't work due to oversteering (usu. into water) or understeering (the road is too tight to keep a good drift) that I have to slow down anyway).
I get the best results from Yoshi and can manage his steering (I haven't played as Peach yet).
Heh weird, I can't get good results with Peach and Yoshi on the harder levels, they are simply too slow top-speed-wise. They are the two best drivers in Battle Mode though as you only need acceleration in that case.
I suppose you can use Time Trial to practice a new driver with.
QuoteQuote from: P on April 28, 2022, 01:36:38 pmIn most modes you can shrink your character permanently by holding Y and pressing A on the kart select screen. You still retain your normal top speed (unlike when hitting a poison mushroom) but this is mostly a handicap for your opponents
This begs the question...
so if I'm always small...
does that mean if I touch a poison mushroom I become even smaller?! :o
Edit: NM, you turn big, don't you?
Yeah you get big for the rest of that race when you hit a mushroom (but you will be small again the next race). If you hit another mushroom you will become temporarily small and slow like usual, then recover again. This is pretty great for you if you play a handicapped match with shrinking.
QuoteEdit: I tried this feature. You get flattened by your opponents when they run into you. How is this an advantage?
Yup you get flattened but stays small permanently. ;D I didn't say there are any advantages, I said it's mostly a handicap. ;)
Shrinking works in 2-player races as well (but not in Battle Mode nor in Time Trial) so it's pretty fun to mess around with. And as I said you can cheat in GP Mode by having player 2 stand still and shrinked (so he doesn't get in your way).
I always thought that you do get a bit better steering and acceleration or something as small though (due to weight being lower or something?), so in that case it's not only disadvantages. It is mostly for when you are good enough to think the game is too easy though hahaha!
Or maybe use it in 50 cc.
QuoteAnyway, I'd rather not cheese the game (yet). I almost got gold on 100cc Star Cup due to the cpu racers eating lots of ass on Vanilla Lake. It's heavily luck-based, but it's not unfeasible.
Yeah this track is pretty weird (perhaps you could even say bugged) with the CPUs as they will keep hitting the ice the first lap and give you a great head-start if you avoid the ice. I suppose the checkpoint is simply placed at the ice so they just blindly aim for it. If you play this track in the 2-player VS Mode you will see that there are pre-laid banana peels (the only ones in the game) there so you either needs to hit the ice or the banana peels. They are gone in GP Mode but the CPU pretty much acts like they are avoiding them anyway.
I suppose you could use 2-player VS Mode with a shrunk player 2 to practice instead of Time Trial mode. That way you can memorize coins and stuff. But you will also have those banana peels and those chomps-things that only appears in VS mode.
QuoteI assume 150cc is entirely optional? :-\
Edit: Somehow I made it to Rainbow Road with 30 points and Toad and Bowser behind with 19 each and I still couldn't even place 4th because those damn Thwomps take up too much space and the options are:
a. run into one and spin out
b. slow down, get rammed by another racer
c. drive off the road
Option b often ends up with me falling off the road anyway.

I hear you. :-[ This track have taken many of my tears, sweat drops and possibly a little blood. :'( This is the first Rainbow Road in any Nintendo game and it is dreaded for its blinking Twhomps and barrierless track. In the sequel they added a star-fence to make it easier but I think they made that game too easy overall. Rainbow Road is beautiful but it's not nearly as challenging as you would expect. Thankfully they included Rainbow Road in F-Zero X and made it very balanced. I love that track (as well as Big Hand in the same game).

Congratulations! Doesn't it feel great now? ;D
You should have unlocked 150 cc now. I'm not sure what you mean by optional, to fully beat the game you of course need to beat all cups on all
difficulty levels engine size classes. :D
I had this game since the late SFC era (1995 or so) but I didn't manage to finish 150 cc until many many years later. Nowadays I can actually beat all the cups and difficulties without cheating with a shrunk player 2, although it may take a few attempts to get that lucky push you may need, so I don't really agree that the game is too difficult anymore. It was a long journey there though, and yeah, this is a real bitch of a game! Oh the memories...
Good luck! :D

No. :diskkun: I could've easily cheated using savestates on an emulator or just watched someone play it.
I wouldn't even say I
beat 100cc. It felt more like cheating.
Is there anything unlocked by finishing 150cc? The only thing left that I want to do is to try to place 4th. Have you ever done that? Is it hard?
That would be boring and kinda meaningless no?
I think it's OK to "cheat" using 2-players. It's not so different from beating it with a friend and working together, which also counts. Once you are good enough to beat 150 cc in 2-player GP, you can probably easily beat 100 cc in 1-player GP.
No there are no more unlocks after you have unlocked 150 cc. You of course get a nice golden trophy that is saved forever on the cup selection screen for each cup and engine class.
I have come 4th place the natural way (when actually aiming for gold but failing), but it's quite rare. You usually come second, third or get a Game Over before the cup is over, so the 4th place scene is worth seeing at least once.
I saw some guide how you can try to aim for it, I guess it's harder than to get gold in many cases.

What do you know? Lode Runner! Yeah, the Famicom port. And I've just beaten it... for the first time, even though I played this one as a kid a lot, I couldn't complete it in a one sitting. Also Mission: Impossible.
How far did you get in Mission: Impossible? Are you still playing it?
I just played Renegade. I hate mazes. :pacman:
Edit: I didn't know I was Mr. K all along. :-[

I still can't beat the first stage! It's ludicrously long. Seriously, the title of this game fits like a glove. Besides I don't play Famicom/NES games until I get a replacement CRT, the current one is on the verge of wearing out, I'm afraid. I can hear static through speakers and blue colors flash like crazy, which makes games like SMB, TwinBee and others with copious amount of blue unplayable.
I just heard about the Martingale betting system and thought it was a pretty easy strategy so I decided to use it in Vegas Dream.
I placed one bet on even, won $10, was invited to go see someone, fell down a flight of stairs, and now my hospital bill is $200. Wow, just like real life. :'(
Ha, wow, Vegas Dream. I had that game as a kid and did somehow land at that Martingale betting system (though I never knew it was called that). Watch out for that double zero spot!
Later on I found out about this password hack and used it to beat the game really quickly:

Hello Kitty World, of all things. I didn't expect this to be a port of Balloon Kid for the original Game Boy. And it's really... Game Boy-ish, so to speak, considering the framerate and music style. Nintendo could've released it as a straight-up port without the Sanrio license, but it's still a blast to play.
Last game I played was super mario world 2 yoshis island ... trying to get 100 percent on everything but I'm so rusty it's really hard lol
