What retro game are you currently playing?

I've discovered that last year thanks to me marathoning the Battletoads franchise (I did them all minus the Arcade game).

The Genesis had some 80's era arcade ports like Ghouls 'n Ghosts which is between Ghosts 'n Goblins and Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Yeah, I did actually know about this port... what I did not realize was that it's its own game apparently? I thought it was just a better version of the NES game. If it isn't clear, I've never really played either of them much. Played Super Ghouls n Ghosts a good bit though.

Yeah, the "Super" in the title is a bit misleading.

It's easier to understand with the japanese name of the games (Makaimura, Daimakaimura and Cho Makaimura) but Capcom didn't bother too much with the english names... Ghouls 'n Ghosts 'n Goblins anyone?

I don't know how these companies even have managed some of their naming.

Xbox comes to mind always, with the Xbox One, and then the One X, Series X, and Series S... Game wise, Nintendo sucked pretty bad for a while too. It started fine, and then "Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Brothers 3" and "New Super Mario Brothers U. Deluxe", or "New Nintendo 3ds XL"

Who thought any of this was a good idea??

No idea, marketing people are sometimes weird.

Super Baseball 2020 for the Genesis. I don't think I've ever shouted as many obscenities in a row as I have with this game. The computer AI is unrelenting and will constantly fuck you over, literally catching every ball you hit. It's a wonder I cherish this game as much as I do lol
