still have yet to really play anything on my system. to busy tweaking it. lol

I'm pretty sure that a lot of us here are in that same boat. I'm always trying to find little things to make my build just a little bit better.

Yeah, I'm just trying to flesh out these last few emulators; arcade machines and dos, and a few ports. Want to try and free up as much space as I can and figuring out what I want to do with it. Maybe adding somehow to ES; faqs or guides, using firefox or xpdf or even Acrodos adobe acrobat for dos. I think the raspbian system almost takes up a third of my sdcard at 9gb.

Games I have played on my PI:
Actraiser, I got to the ending its a pretty short game.
Dragon Quest III, I would have named this as a famous game if I didn't just play it recently.
Front Mission Gun Hazzard, I might be like halfway through
Heracles no Eikou IV, actually I'm not that far but I'm past the beginning and getting into the game.
Ogre Battle: I'm on the fourth map or so.
Ghoul Patrol: I don't know but if there is like 200 levels as Zombies ate my neighbors then I'm not very far along.
Shantae,
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, I put in like 33 hours.
Aladdin for sega mega drive
Lunar SSSC.
Ultima 8. I have some of the enchanted items and max stats anyway
Oh and Final Fantasy 4 complete. I have to replay the return to baron after you become a paladin because I forgot to save.

And as for a famous game I havent played
Star Fox

There was another topic like this last year where I added my own shameful list of missed greats of the past.

@chubsta Any final Fantasy game. I really don't like turn based games. So you could count any famous turn based game in that also.

How is everybody getting banned in this topic?

@simpleethat spam most likely, each account joined yesterday and only has one post

@quicksilver that makes sense

I just began to play iD yesterday. It's on my "must play before I die" list since the 80s when I had a C64, but iD was only available for the ZX Spectrum. 😭

simpleethat

@Clyde well iD sounds pretty interesting

Clyde

@simpleethat Yes, iD does. ;)

I had to solve some obstacles getting keyboard input configured in the Spectrum emulator, though. To have full keyboard access in the game, you have to set the controllers for player 1 and 2 to "none" and for player 3 to "Sinclair Keyboard". But then, the keyboard overlay on "Select" doesn't work anymore. I'll have to look further into this.

Hint: On the Spectrum's keyboard, a question mark is made with Right Alt + C (AltGr + C on a German keyboard). I think you'll need it to ask iD questions. ;)

edit: Ah, I finally found the solution (just mentioning it here to close this up). Set player 1's controller to Cursor Joystick and all of its bindings except for Keyboard Overlay to "---". Then you'll have the overlay on whatever key you set it to, and the rest of the keyboard will work nonetheless.

Hint 2: Press Right Alt + M for a full stop / period.

@WeirdH haha! I've played it but have yet to complete it. It's a pretty good game though

@simpleethat I am very much planning to play at some time, because it gets nothing but praise. I never really got the appeal of jrpg's and such when I was younger, but I think I can appreciate them now. Same with Sword of Mana, by the way.

IanDaemon

Secret of Mana was great! I never played any other "Mana" series games.

(Similarly, I only played Tales of Symphonia in the "Tales" series, but that entry was quality.)

i know, i know.

The Zelda games

@IanDaemon: I tried playing Earthbound a few years ago. I didn't last very long. I made it through a couple of the first encounters, and I just didn't enjoy it. I considered forcing myself to sit through it, but I've never liked that style of combat in games, so I didn't bother.

@Crush: I've never played a Zelda either. Never had one for the Gameboy, and the next Nintendo I owned was the Wii, so I missed all the stuff in between.
