        Hitman (2016). I stopped playing it after the Marrakesh Episode and fired it up this last weekend to get rid of it. Releasing this type of game as episodes was a stupid idea IMO.

          In the last week I beated Mega Man X and tried to get the "Defeat Robot XXXX without taking damage" cheevos. The only I couldn't get was the Launch Octopus one.

          I beated Shovel Knight yesterday and all that bouncing made me want to play Duck Tales (NES), and this will be the game of this week.

            @meleu Ducktales is hard, the later game stages are especially difficult. Instead of beating the original, I bought the remastered version and beat that instead.

              I ended up playing through Secret Agent/Sly Spy on MAME several times to figure out if a sound emulation bug was present in MAME 2003 and then 2010, and then AdvMame. It ended up being present in MAME 2003 and 2010, but AdvMame was fine. Still, it was a few run-throughs of that game, with several continues of course... I can probably finish it with a handful now, which is nice!

              I then decided to play Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja to check for the same bug (as it was the same hardware), and boy is that a painfully difficult game. Nostalgia does play a role there, as I remembered the game fondly, but it's a pain to play these days. And no, there was no bug there.

              I then tried out RayForce/Gunlock and then RayStorm, which I had heard good things about, and will probably explore these further this week as they were fun.

              I'm not sure if I'll keep playing Sly Spy and UN Squadron this week... I probably won't have that much time anyway, but I hope to play at least a bit of something.

                      I've been playing Final Fantasy(NES) for the first time and have rapidly realized how much we take for granted in modern RPGs. The fact that if an enemy is defeated in a battle that your party doesn't automatically re-target, or that you can buy items that your party member can't use are points of frustration, but I'm glad I'm playing it.

                        @meleu Ducktales is hard

                        Oh c'mon, it's not that hard once you memorize the mechanics of the enemies...

                        I've just beated Duck Tales in the Difficult mode. The next step is to try to get the "crazy" cheevos, such as "reach the boss without pogoing", "... without defeating any foe", "... without taking any treasure", "uncover all treasures on a stage"...

                            @meleu No, the game is somewhat easy. The timelimit is the worst. I got to the moon level and time ran out. So I just beat the remaster instead.

                              Alien resurrection on psx is alot more grown up than your doom or quake shooters it was a bit ahead of it's time.

                              Descent... ahh good memories.. play the pc version please.
                              first full 3d textured maps and enemies with animated models and amazing freedom.
                              Many get motion sick from descent.. i see it as the ultimate vertigo simulator.. love it.

                                Just bought 'Sonic Mania', and I now have the biggest grin on my face :D . If you're a retro game fan (fairly sure you all are ;) ) and particularly if you are a retro Sonic fan you owe it to yourself to get this game. The only puzzling thing is why it took Sega so long to realise that it's the old sonic that everyone loves....

                                    I saw it was delayed on pc, not too long to wait though and i'm sure you'll love it. I have read there are some bugs in it at the moment so perhaps they will use that extra week to make sure it runs perfectly on pc on release day.

                                      We should totally all post more screen shots.

                                      is there a easy way to take shots?

                                        I'm jamming out on Blaster Master Zero on 3DS. I don't often play modern games, but i had to play this one! It's fantastic

                                        Also waiting on the PC version of Sonic Mania, i hope my hand me down black box is up to the spec to run it. Why they aren't releasing it on Mac is beyond me.

                                          Other than Puzzle Bobble for the MAME ROW, not playing anything else.

                                          I'm writing this on the pi itself cause my computer decided to be a piece of shit and break. So i'm using the pi as a main PC until Windows installs.
