Im currently playing Yars Rising on steam and i think this game is kinda good, its a (metroidvania)1 based on yars revenge for the atari 2600 with the marvel humor and bad music.

1:the game have a metroid/castlevania style map but its almost linear.
2:the protag talks... a lot.

I like the character design for the background one but turning old video games into metroidvanias seems so much like a short term solution...

I agree and namco made the same thing with pac-man.

and im fighting a boss called missile commander in yars rising, that boss is a living missile command reference.

I honestly can't get enough of Gamera 2000 for the Playstation 1.
It's becoming a comfort entry. The music composed by Zuntata also helps.

Do PC decomps count? I've played Smash Bros 64 via Battleship.

Discovered the UWP port for Raze, so I am currently going through Shadow Warrior. It's been ages since I last played it.

I'm REALLY trying to get back into TES IV: Oblivion. I've been stubborn and haven't played it much because it's about my least favorite Daedric Prince and I kinda feel like a loser since I am not the Nerevarine like in Morrowind or a Dragonborn in Skyrim. I CAN'T FUS ROH DAH PEOPLE OFF A CLIFF OR KILL THEM WITH KEENING!

Mega Man & Bass (SNES), basically.a original game with the assets of Mega Man 8. Is pretty nice but fuck Burner Man.

I'd love to see the herculean task of seeing a demake of MM8 on the SNES.

It may be a heavily modified version of Mega Man & Bass.

i hate this fucking game. im probably ass at this game but i have been grinding this guy for 30 minutes now. how. i dont believe that you cant kill him. its insane.
the controls are horrible. he randomly teleports as well. you can hit him in the back but then he can randomly teleport behind you and shave off like 1/3rd of your hp bar. theres a long input buffer as well and it just doesnt allow for a proper battle where you need to adapt to your opponents moveset. i see his back is exposed but ive mashed a button so much my character is still hitting him and not letting me perform another action. sometimes i feel like the character is doing something on their own, or the random teleporting gets so bad i genuinely get confused and lost because i was sure that i was doing action a but all the teleporting messed everything up so much the character is doing action b. also hitboxes. i dont understand where i need to attack this guy and when. the character youre playing as can also get randomly hit without any sound or animation playing so its hard to tell when youre getting damaged. its so confusing.
im probably trying to compare this to dark souls or something. im so used to polished souls-like battles so games like this are genuinely confusing to me. im used to perfectly timing my attacks and the ds3 input buffer but then i remember that this is a ps1 game. it doesnt care and im overthinking it and im rather dumb for grinding it so much. but at least the music is quite good as well as character design.

as on the game itself - i wish it was more detailed than this. im so used to ff games being all detailed and having this detailed amazing plot and interesting dialogues and having these neat little hidden items and easter eggs (you can say im spoiled) so seeing a game this uhh.. empty?? feels a bit weird. the enemy spawn rates are a bit weird - how do you progress when the enemies just spawn endlessly? id imagine there would be a limit to how much an enemy can spawn but you can just stand at one spot and fight off enemies for like a minute+ in this game. also feels much more 'japanese' than i expected, not complaining though.
