Playing through EarthBound. It's been like 10 years since I've played it last. I'm enjoying it even more this playthrough.

I managed to get a new high score in 3rd Strike, and I got an A++ ranking with Alex.

Today I played and beat Trip World DX. Here is a gif I made from it (I made more but it says they are too large to upload here):

After watching a few bits of gameplay from two streamers playing Super Mario Sunshine I thought it can’t be that difficult, but turns out it is. Woop!
Playing on a Wii with a original controller, I noticed that the game really wants you to slow down and be mindful of your next move. Kinda like classic Tomb Raider.

Also felt like replaying Sands of Time again, on the Wii. Using a cheap HDMI adapter connected to a 13" OLED display results in a soft composite\VHS style image but regardless of that the art direction in this game still makes it look amazing. The area where you first get the dagger and there’s that endless expanse opposite the statue still gives me the shivers.

just played an FPS called "Fashion Police Squad" - you don't actually kill anyone , u have to find people dressed in dull clothes and shoot them with what i guess you could call a "fashion bullet" to make them look trendy again - a bit wacky but seems alright so far

Played Valis for the first time on my Genesis. Died to a 2 headed dragon thing. Had fun though, gonna give it another shot on my day off.

Have to start Grandia 2 at some point.

Tokimeki memorial on SNES. Love every second of that game. Atmosphere is so charming.

Wow I'm also playing TM for the first time on SNES. Wish we had the ps1 or saturn versions in English, but this SNES port still captures the joy of the gameplay loop and the girls are all delightful to meet. Going for the swimming captain for my first play through.

Not entirely sure who I want to go for yet. Yukari, Yuko and Ayako are all so great. But most the characters are. The music is definitely a huge bonus for the SNES version in vibes too.

I'm playing Seek remaster that I bought from Surugaya so I think it's a game with raising simulation stats but it still capture my pleasure. Still waiting for the English translation though

At the moment I'm going through Wizardry Gaiden II, been mapping by hand despite Dumapic providing an automap when you use it in these spinoff games. I think you internalize floor layouts more when you draw it by hand, and I can make notes about the map that don't show up on the automap anyways. Almost done with Floor 11, and I suspect the next floor will be the last. So far I think Gaiden I was a bit better designed overall, but they've both been good games and I'm excited what I'll think of Gaiden III once I get to it. Although before that, I plan on going through Wizardry VI first.

I'm be playing Fallout New Vegas recently, I having a lot of fun with this game and it's my first fallout.
Despite the crashes or bugs I have playing the Xbox 360 version, it's a good game.
(Yeah I consider New Vegas a retro game because this game is 15 years old.)

In my spare time I'm blitzing through the original Tomb Raider trilogy, separately to my run through of the games on OG hardware. The ability to save-scum makes the first TR game waaay easier.

Currently about half way through Egypt and feel like the end is coming fast. If it's anything like my run through on OG hardware though TR2 will at east feel like it's taking longer.

Mega Man X2
It havss some smooth 3D and pseudo 3D effects for being a SNES game

This classic.
I've always been a fan of these types of games.

Mega Man X2, i found the Mega Man formula pretty enjoyable so this is cool for me.

 

[Anoobis]

Dragon Warrior 1 & 2 for the Snes.

 

[Bloodshed]

I cleared Soulblazer on the SNES, 2 Weeks ago. Yesterday I started Super Castlevania IV on Super ZSNES. I just wanted to test the Emulators Features, but it felt so great that i cleared the first three levels and will beat the rest in the next few days.
And on PC I started Might & Magic 6 again, this Time I play the MM678 Merge Mod

[ThirdEidolon]

A lil bit soon but it's steadily becoming it.

I thought retro meant a decade old?

I thought retro meant a decade old?

That’s my personal definition for it too.

Hearing that creator of PoPoLoCrois passed away made me want check the series out. Just started the original for PS1 and already love the feel of it.

 

[Far_Firmer_Peaches]

Apparently Doom (2016) counts as retro by some of y'all.
Planning on playing Link to the Past on my 3DS when I'm done annoying Hayden.
