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

[meleu]

Yeah!! Finally managed to pass through the Snake Man stage with no damage!!

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

@meleu battletoads is my favorite game on mega drive! ;)

[wstanek]

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.

I'm trying out Egypt on NES

[hooperre]

@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?

[lilbud]

Actually beat Startropics (NES)

[meleu]

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.

EDIT: moving to Mega Man 4 (NES).

[SleepyOwl]

@meleu I did!
Played all the GBA and DS one, and the first one on GB. I have yet to finish "Order of Ecclesia" , that game is too damn hard for me...
