Let's use this to discuss what we're playing, or other gaming stuff that may not require its own post.

Sorry I've not posted these in a while, but anyone else can create one if you want.

For what it's worth, this runs well for me on a Pi 3 with nothing more than the usual Super FX minor slow downs.

@obsidianspider Is that an SNES-Mini dump? Kind of forgot about that game being on there.

As for me, I started Goonies II on NES this past week. I have 21 / 38 of the RetroAchievements so far. Unfortunately died about halfway through my play through and continues in that game are ROUGH. Gonna give it another go this weekend.

Also playing through Super Mario RPG right now so I can get the RA for that game. Have been breezing through it so far and having fun with it again. I remember getting that game when it came out and playing through it in a weekend when I was 13 or so.

@livefastcyyoung It's not the beta, let's just say that.

I had been playing "Get an Old CRT from CraigsList and hook up your childhood SNES" earlier in the week, but the previously damaged TV was further damaged by me trying to fix some inoperable buttons, so it will be going to the recyclers.

Just made a 'Star Fox 2' box art based on the 'Star Fox' box and the character art/logo on the Snes classic website.

Following @cyperghost 's suggestion I played Bonanza Bros (MegaDrive) and managed to get all cheevos:

Now I've started Shantae (GameBoy Color). Didn't know this game. Looks fun and a bit challenging...

Here's the official Star Fox 2 boxart straight off the Nintendo website

I love Bonanza Bros, even more fun in 2 player though.

@Stuart2773 didn't see that, ah well, mine is an alternative then and isn't a million miles away from the official one.

Sure. It has some cheevos specific for 2 players. ;-)

I've been playing Jaki Crush on the SNES. It's a lesser know sequel in the crush series of pinball games. People seem very critical of this entry in the series though I can't really see why, if you like Alien Crush or Devil Crush you'll like this.

Also been playing F-zero Climax for the GBA, it's the third in the GBA series and was only released in Japan. Great fun entry in the series and by far the nicest looking on the GBA. Also has a track editor.
