      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.

                    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)

                              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.

                                        @obsidianspider I never thought I'd miss Navi so much. LISTEN! At least she told me what to do haha.

                                        Is LoZ II: Link's Adventure worth giving a go?

                                            Beat Mega Man 3 (NES) and worked to get some cheevos. One of the most challenging one was to "Get to Hard Man's door damageless using only the Arm Cannon and Rush Coil", it took many tries untill I found a nice pattern to defeat Break Man damageless.

                                            0_1504275500197_Mega Man 3 (USA)-170901-002317.png

                                            EDIT: moving to Mega Man 4 (NES).
