      Let's chat about what games we're playing this week and other game-related stuff that may not merit its own thread.

        I started playing Breath of Fire on SNES :)
        Very nice RPG so far.

          Since The Devision is/was on sale for over 50% on Xbox One, i decided to give that a try finally. I started it yesterday, but so far i'm not very hooked. So I'm not sure if I will spend that much time with it.

            Anyone going to PAX West? Nintendo is giving out physical copies of these cool Nintendo Power covers

                @hooperre try it in English. Much easier.

                  @obsidianspider It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.

                    @hooperre hardcore people have managed to "beat" the game without a sword. Since you can't beat Ganon without a sword, getting to Gabon swordless is considered beating the game in that case.

                      I've been playing The Lost Vikings (SNES) and got stuck at the first Egypt-like level...

                      I'm planning to go through a Mega Man (NES) marathon, I already finished 1 and 2 a few months ago, then I'll start with the 3 now. And, obviously, get some cheevos. :-)

                        I am knee deep in Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance. For the third time!

                          Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance

                          Looks like a great game, similar to Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow (GBA).

                          Does "Harmony of Dissonance" have the same character as "Aria of Sorrow"? I think he is named Soma Cruz.

                            Still on Terranigma (SNES)

                            with my new build (Rpi0) I play the classic GB I owned as kid

                            • MegaMan

                            and the "classics" of the Genesis/Megadrive (even if I never owned that console)

                            • Tale Spin
                            • NBA JAM (lots of fun in 2 player mode)
                            • Revenge of Shinobi

                              Tony hawk pro skater 2, future cop LAPD, and if I can figure out a fix - final fantasy 8! It freezes the screen upon battle entry but the music plays fine. #sadface

                                Just discovered "Popful Mail" on the SegaCD (MegaCD). I think I'll be playing that for a while. Great platformer with RPG elements, decent music, good voice acting and actually very funny. Highly recommended.

                                  @cyperghost The Revenge of Shinobi is great. Nice choice. Don't forget about Shinobi III: Return of The Ninja Master also on MD / Genesis or Shadow Dancer on MAME, a personal favourite of mine. I'm a Shinobi fan...

                                    Shadow Dancer on MAME

                                    Shadow Dancer is my favorite Mega Drive game! I was trying to beat it in level 3 but those ninjas at Statue of Liberty elevator are f$#@%ing hard! Maybe I'll give another try in level 2 soon...

                                      @meleu The MD version is totally different from the arcade version. You still have a dog and wear white. It's still a Shinobi game, just not a port of the arcade. I still enjoy both but prefer the arcade version.

                                        The only difference that matters

                                            I'm spending this week finishing a few games on my backlog before school starts next week. Played through the original Super Mario Bros. (NES), I beat the SNES version but never beat the original, despite owning it. Am currently playing through StarTropics (NES)
