      @lilbud Yes Contra and Kirby is enjoyable (and easy) but the middle game levels are the hardest imho. Well if you want to use emu-savestates then use them. I think without this I never mastered Sonic 1 - that's a damn hard game.

      Btw:


      The guy activated extra menues and just cutted the settings part out. So sound and video aren't syncron ;)

              Not sure if anyone is a vinylophile like I am, but here is something.

              The whole Famicom Kid Dracula soundtrack is being released on vinyl.

                Well that is very coincidental.

                Don't sweat it.
                When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                  can we start collecting suggestions for December?

                  I thought that it would be cool to have a game with a Xmas ambience. Like these ones:

                  • Daze Before Christmas (MegaDrive)
                  • Daze Before Christmas (SNES)
                  • Home Alone 2 (NES)
                  • Home Alone 2 (SNES)
                  • Batman Returns (NES)
                  • Batman Returns (SNES)
                  • Batman Returns (MegaDrive)

                  Any other suggestions?

                    Home Alone 2 (SNES)

                    I get how these tie into christmas, but how does Batman Returns tie in?

                    Also, doing a quick search pretty much shows that most, if not all xmas games were just the worst. So maybe let not make xmas a requirement?

                      Have you watched the movie? It has a Christmas ambiance, and so are the games.

                              I haven't had my Cheevos working lately bc I forgot my dingus password, but luckily I screenshot every ending on the Pi. I definitely used save states though.

                                    Had to step away from attempting most of the month. Taking one last stab today at this.

                                    Any ideas for next month?

                                      I beat Kid Dracula with an hour and a half left in the month! WHEW!

                                      Edit: My achievement shows 12-1 but it’s 10:40 PM EST on 11/30. DONT TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME RETROACHIEVEMENTS. 😑

                                        I made a poll with some ideas for this month's game of the month. These are not exactly Christmas themed, but they are great games nonetheless.
