What are the top 5 games you currently enjoy playing the most on your Pi and why?
-
@ecks thanks for the reply, i don't have a heatsink, so i not gonna overclock my pi 3b+. i tried advmame3.8 which may be the best emulator for Ninja Baseball Batman, no overclock needed and runs at 60fps, very smoothy. however, advmame3.8 is based on mame 0.106, the bezel can't be at high resolution, it is scaled from the game resolution which is pretty bad. i wonder if there is any solution to this.
-
Honestly you should have a heatsink by default so your Pi doesn't overheat especially on the bottom where your memory is or just use a case like this one as an example which will cool down the system pretty good
-
@ecks Or get a similar cooling and much cheaper (in price) case like from BiQu.
-
@thelostsoul Yes but cheaper doesn't always mean better cause yes the Flirc case is nice but look at the results
You can see it is a lot cooler and honestly i find being in the 40's better than being in the 60's and think when overclocking as well cause that does bring more heat as well. -
@ecks I didnt say its better. But it can be good enough. Btw, I was talking about the BiQU. I use the BiQU case on my RP3B and overclocked all 3 parts a lot and it stays under 50 C while gaming. Even while stress testing it with high load much for many hours, it never reaches the throttling temperatures.
Don't misunderstand me. I just gave an alternative recommendation.
-
@thelostsoul See here is the thing we're using the 3B+ which is slightly different.
-
@ecks omg you are right! Damn, sorry I just didn't pay attention to it.

WindJammers (FBA)
Dr. Mario (NES)
Spiderman (PS1)
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES)
Ice Climber (NES)The five games I'm randomly enjoying at the moment.
-
MechForce (Amiga) - When I had an Amiga I'd either be playing this or Pinball Fantasies AGA. The greatest Battletech game ever made. The lack of a definitive campaign is its only flaw.
Advance Wars (GBA) - Simple to learn but very difficult to puzzle your way through to the 'S' rank solutions. The War Room maps give hundreds of hours of gameplay.
Street Fighter II Champion Edition (Arcade) - I wasted much of my 20's and a lot of my money on this game.
Wizardry (Apple ][) One of the first turn based RPG dungeon crawl series ever, and still one of the most difficult.
Bubble Bobble (NES) Me and my wife would sit down with a giant bowl of popcorn and spend entire nights playing this completely through. A great partner game.

@insecurespike said in What are the top 5 games you currently enjoy playing the most on your Pi and why?:
- Daimakaimura (supergrafx) basically, just love this version
- New Zealand Story (pc engine) basically, just love this version
I'm curious, why the destinction between supergrafx and pc engine? Aren't they the same?
-
@adlibirel Never heard about Windjammers before, but what a fun game! Thanks!
-
@clyde - SuperGrafx is an upgraded version of the PC Engine released exclusively in Japan.

@supernu69 Thanks, I missed that distinction.

I thought it was time for an update in this thread. :)
1 Tetris (PSP). I recently discovered this game. Some time ago I was searching for the best Tetris game for Retropie, but missed this one. It is a game from the digital Mini's on the Playstation Network. I don't think you can even legally acquire it anymore (EA lost the Tetris rights). Aside from the lack of a 2 player option, this game has a lot going for it: Clean but nice crisp visuals, a great pumping soundtrack, several different modes of play, hard and soft drops, saving 1 block, looking 4 blocks ahead. The game runs great in PPSSPP.
2 Frogger (Arcade). Put this game on my Pi, mostly because of Seinfeld..but I actually enjoy it quite a lot. However I was disappointed to find out the game doesn't have initials for highscores (which the Seinfeld episode was based on).
3 Street fighter III second impact (Arcade). The fighter I always keep coming back to.
4 Mortal kombat trilogy (PS1). I don't know why but this games plays a lot faster than any arcade Mortal kombat. I like it though; it plays like a Mortal Kombat Turbo.
5 Final fantasy VII (PS1). I don't think I have to explain this one. :)

3 Bubble Bobble ANIGA - How can you not love this
Many years ago, I played it all the way through with a female friend at a LAN party at my home. Another friend of me complained because we blocked one of the PCs, and because he couldn't stand the ever-repeating music anymore. 😊
-
@Clyde it’s a great little game I have started introducing my kids to the classics from when I was growing up
-
@Dwarfboysim At my last birthday party, the kids of my friends played Bubble Bobble with some of my other friends and with each other for quite some time on my DIY upright arcade cabinet. :)
I think it's a great kids game. Although you "kill" monsters, you do it in a cute, almost non-violent way.

f-zero x insainly fun with super ultimate mega fast mode
2049 sanfrancisco rush one of the best stunt racer games
n64 super smash bros (its super smash bros thats why its fun)
super mario RPG a great story line
Cave story (good music, good story, amazingly fun) -
- 1: Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter (FBA) One of my childhood arcade games and an all-time favorite. It brings childhood memories back..
- 2: Rampage (MAME) Fun multiplayer to play with friends and it's sequel is just as good. The Arcade version is the best version to experience the gameplay.
- 3: Joust (MAME) A classic 2 player fun. Just insert coin and play. It's simple as that. The sequel is good but not as great as the first one.
- 4: Bubble Bobble (NES) Cute gameplay. Simple platformer. This title is great for playing 2 player with female friends and works well for all ages.
- 5: Snow Bros. (NES) Alternative to Bubble Bobble and fun as well with bosses in the gameplay. An arcade version with a sequel does also exist and the arcade sequel can be played with 4 players.
There are many more favorites, but these are the ones that i play currently the most at this time.
