What games are you playing this week? 2017-08-14

[ruckage]

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....

@ruckage I need to get Sonic Mania, unfortunately, I only have a PC and have to wait a week.

[ruckage]

@lilbud
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.

@lilbud
Ahhh that sucks...
Hopefully you get a new machine soon.

[lilbud]

@xeon I'd love to get a new machine, but I can't. I'm just trying to fix my PC before anything gets lost.

And now my phone is taking a shit too, my life has evolved into the, "this is fine" dog meme.

@lilbud did you know this glitch on the Moon stage? I didn't:

[Capeman]

@meleu If you do that you dont get to play the whole moon stage... whats the fun in that?

[meleu]

@capeman I used it to get the Bad Ending cheevo. By the way, did you know that Duck Tales has a bad ending? I didn't.

edit: oh yes. I enjoyed to play the whole moon stage to get the normal good ending. :)

edit 2: screenshot of the bad ending.

[meleu]

I've just got all cheevos for Duck Tales (NES). I think I'll go to Duck Tales 2.

[Xeon]

Just boot up descent2, but i should be looking into making zdoom faster.
Just wanted to hear this.

[Sano]

Finally got all road rash cheevos !
I played nearly 6 hours yesterday, and finished this evening...

[Sano]

@meleu congrats for Duck Tails.
I have the GameBoy cartridge @home (I played this a lot when I was younger), I tried the NES version, but can't cope with the big screen and colors. For me this game has to be played on the real device ;)
I'll surely give it another try, though.

[Omnija]

Sadly i dont get to play on my pi tonight maybe once i find it... but i will be playing around with this.

Going to need to figure a way to transfer games to it.... xD
The keyboard feels almost like a typewriter.

[meleu]

@omnija what are the specs? Is it able to run Debian at least?

[Omnija]

@meleu will be using it as an official dos gaming laptop, with my 3 gb hard drive and a whopping 64mb ram xD. Played some RCR486 last night on it (Retro City Rampage Dos Version).

@ruckage I thought Sonic Mania was getting a release for the Megadrive?
Is it only current-gen? Then I'll have to try it on PS4.
