      Edit: I've also recently been hooked on 'Escape From the Planet of the Robot Monsters' Arcade game. The gameplay is fantastic and the graphics are so perfectly of it's time that it looks like an idealized parody of an 80s arcade game from a movie. I highly recommend it.

      Wow! What a great game! Runs too slow on my Pi 1B but it's great! Voice samples, isometric (one of the first?) and great music!

        It's a lot of fun. Definitely one that I'll be revisiting for years to come.

            Lately I'm really enjoying Snatcher for the Sega/Mega CD. I'm quite proud of the fact that I'm nearly done the game and did not use any kind of guide. Of course some clues took me up to 20 mins or so to decipher. There really needs to be more games like this.

              Going to play Fear Effect 1 and Fear Effect 2 on the PSX. I owned a copy back in the 90ties but I never managed to beat them. After this I probably play the Resident evil series on the PSX.

                I recently beat Mega Man and Mega Man 2 for the first time ever. The original Mega Man is insanely difficult, and I could not get past the Yellow Devil in the 1st Dr. Wily stage without using the Select/Pause trick.

                Mega Man 2 was a little easier, and I can see why it's widely considered one of the best games on the NES.

                I now have to continue my way through the series.. I think it goes all the way to 10. This will take a while.

                  You can add a spice to your playing using the RetroAchievements feature. There are some cool achievements for all the mega man series.

                      I'm playing Secret of Mana! It's been a good decade since I last played.

                      I had some atrocious slowdown similar to emulating it on my PSP, but after my canakit power supply came in the mail, the slowdown vanished thanks to no longer using a 2 amp cellphone charger.

                        I had a mate over for the weekend and we played through the Punisher arcade game on Final Burn Alpha. He loved playing as Nick Fury, smoking a cigar whilst kicking mobster butt.

                        We tried playing Metal Slug 1 on FBA, but we had some major slowdown when there was a boss onscreen. It was annoying but still playable.

                        However, the constant slowdown in TMNT and Turtles in Time were so bad as to be unplayable.

                          I think the SNES version of Turtles in Time is more eye-candy than the arcade one. Unfortunately we don't have infinite coins... :-)

                            I was playing the Turtles games in Final Burn Alpha. I should try them in MAME (after I eventually set up the controls. I'll get around to it some day), but in the mean-time I'll give the SNES version a go. Cheers.

                                @dankcushions, Donpachi is awesome. Dodonpachi works for lr-FBA-next. But I cannot get Bee Storm: Dodonpanchi II to work with any cores.

                                Been playing a lot of Mortal Kombat 1, just waiting patiently for MK2/UMK3 to work if @dankcushions figures out the audio. :)

                                    Might I suggest you add Alien vs Predator and Armored Warriors (both for FinalBurn Alpha) to that list? They are 2 of my favourites.

                                      Chrono Trigger for SNES is awesome. I spend a lot of time playing OPENTTD. I love this game.

                                            I'm going to have to get that. I grew up with Bare Knuckle 3 on Mega Drive. I loved it, even though all the text was in a language I couldn't read.
