      @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

              • Darkwing Duck
              • Tiny Toons
              • 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.

                              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)

                                I think this video sums up why retro games will always be more fun in my eye

                                    Playing M.U.L.E. (Atari 800). The Pirates keep coming and there was a fire in the store. High score is around 33,000 with a Leggite.

                                    Was going to try to finish Koronis Rift, but keep getting sidetracked by the Oculus Rift.

                                    Keeping a good thought for Texas.

                                      @meleu No, It's actualy a Belmont in this one, Richter Belmont to be exact. It's not the best game in the series but it is a good one. It's tries to emulate many elements from "Symphony" on the PS1, which is not a bad thing!

                                        Yeah. The Aria of Sorrow has this style too (which is commonly known as "Metroidvania"). If you didn't play Aria of Sorrow yet, you must to! :-)

                                          Tonight I'm going to continue my journey in BioShock 2 on my PS3. I always enjoy exploring the underwater city of rapture while killing big daddy's, rescuing little sisters and shooting down scumbags and thieves.
