          I have only finished Full Throttle on ScrummVM. I realise that whenever I have some time to spend on my Retropie set I spend more time tweaking the system than actually playing games. I want everything to be the way I want first to start enjoying them. (Besides, all that customisation is also fun.) First on my pipeline are Zelda Minish Cap and all the portable Castlevanias and Metroids.

              Just wrapped up Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Now I have to go back and try to find all the secrets and reach a 100% completion.

                Just waiting to finish Majora's Mask, a game I never finished growing up even though I was borderline obsessed with OOT and have completed that like 7 times. Worth the $100 for the pi right there.

                4B ~ RPi PSU 5.1V / 3.0A ~ 32GB SanDisk microSD ~ 128GB USB

                  @hooperre I think many of us have had that experience. I got it the day it came out on N64. Played a little, but I feel like I was always putting it off and got easily stressed about the 'time' component in the game. Had it for GC and maybe even Wii as well. Now I have it working just fine on my pi3 and intend to finally do the deed. Having save states should help motivate me, but I'm glad to hear you completed it with no problem.

                  As to OP's question: I'm new, but so far I've just completed Super Mario World (full 96) and the first Sonic. I've spent far more time fiddling with configuration. But I've finally got things just about perfect.

                    Castlevania 1 and 3 for NES for me.

                    Was playing Ninja Gaiden for NES for hours and hours as well, but lost my save game. ...and talk about hard...I have NO clue how anybody could have beaten that without cheats.

                    We (me and my cousins kids - 3 player game) beat Michael Jacksons Moonwalker arcade game.

                      Parasol Star (PCengine) without infinite credits its really hard (at 2 players), Dungeon and dragons (mame), golden axe 1 (mame), and I reach to the lvl 100 of bobble bubble 2 (mame), most of my plays is with more ppl so we change game normally.

                        I finished Ninja Gaiden (NES) a few months ago with an abusive and unrestricted use of save states. I just can't believe somebody finished this game in the good old times when there was no save state...

                        Same thing with Battletoads (NES). With no savestates I can only reach the level 10...

                          Like saving/restoring every 5-10 seconds! Not even kidding. SO hard (or I just suck ;)

                          I should have really gotten the fast forward/rewind thing working on RetroPie (haven't delved into how to use that as it slows down some games I've read).

                            ha!, I got a Ultra-Ninja Gaiden friend freak that pass the level 1-2-3 in less than two minuts, he saids that wanna make a "run" video of the entire game.

                            Edit: 'He pass me this video'-->

                            Sorry to deviate from the topic :p.

                              I stopped fiddling with settings and such on my Super Famicom Pi this weekend and decided to actually play it. I managed to complete Kaizou Choujin Shubibinman Zero, and it was a lot of fun.

                              Then I rewired a NES-004 controller to use a Super Nintendo wire so I could play Castlevania with a real Nintendo controller. ;)

                                  Several months ago I decided to play through Final Fight on lr-fbalpha (it was before lr-fbalpha2012 came out) and I used plenty of virtual quarters! That was one of my top 5 favorite Arcade games! Then on the SNES, I decided to tackle Final Fight 1, Final Fight 2, Final Fight 3 and then Final Fight Guy (which is just like Final Fight 1 but has Guy instead of Cody, the Arcade version had both). Then I played through Final Fight CD on the Sega CD. Then I went for Final Fight One for the GBA. Last I played Mighty Final Fight for the original NES.

                                  There's some interesting information on it's Wikipedia page about the different ports:
                                  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fight_(video_game)

                                  Next I beat Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 on the Genesis. I also loaded up both TMNT Arcade games!

                                  I also had a friend come over once a week and we would play some random Arcade Beat 'em ups! I think we've played just about every beat 'em up I could find! Some good and some not so good but we had fun either way.

                                    Just finished Quackshot for the Genesis. Grew up loving that game, but was never able to beat it in a single sitting. Satisfying.

                                      I'm on kind of a Sega CD trip lately. Some really good hidden and overlooked gems on that system. I beat Snatcher, Sonic CD (the good ending with all time stones), and Road Avenger.

                                        One of my friends had a Sega CD and he had several cool games for it but I remember this one called "Mansion of Hidden Souls" that was actually pretty good but I never heard of it before or heard of it since. He also had the infamous Night Trap before they pulled it and edited it to re-release it in 1994.

                                          @backstander Yeah I owned a Sega Genesis CDX growing up and still have most of my games. I've never tried Night Trap but I'm well aware that there were a lot of government officials that had a conniption fit over it. The funny thing is the game is quite tame, even by the standards of the time. I own Double Switch, which is a spiritual sequel of sorts and that's the one I played until I beat. I've heard of Mansion of Hidden Souls but never actually played, not even sure what it's about, but if it's good I might have to check it out.

                                            @backstander I should say I've never played Night Trap for more than 5 minutes, lol. It's like one of those hilariously bad horror movies so I do want to see more of the game one day. I've seen plenty of Youtube videos on it though.
