I just started messing with the Metal Slug series on Neo Geo and now Arcade thanks to some members on here.

Super mario omega (a super mario world hack)

Hi, is it worth trying?

[CodeDrawer]

@Brigane

Yeah! They changed the music and it is all out a good super mario hack that looks like mario 3 with super mario world mechanics

I think I'm going to give Pokemon another try. I've tried repeatedly in the past, and just couldn't get into it, but Pokemon Blue (GB) is going to be my lunch time game for the week.

[obsidianspider]

Let’s get the most obvious one out of the way: the core of Pokémon is about wild animals being enslaved and then pitted against each other in violent combat for both fun and profit.

I think this is what always bugged me the most about Pokemon.

@lilbud There's also a whole lot of this:

if you don't immediately develop a desire to collect critters and battle them against one another, there's not a whole lot to drive you forward. It's why I've never been able to stay interested in these games.

I'm still trying to beat Pop'n Twinbee on SNES (EU NTSC hack)...

Oh ya, that and Dr. Mario with the wife... still... every night... for like 20 rounds a night... for like 6 months now...

[meleu]

@Capeman show the RetroAchievements feature to her. There are cheevos for Dr. Mario: http://retroachievements.org/Game/1469 . Maybe she can find a challenging one.

;-)

[Sano]

@meleu Some are pretty challenging, yes.
That's why my wife is the one who unlock Dr Mario cheevos, she's an expert :)

[Capeman]

Crazy how much wives love Dr. Mario, haha. I haven't played around with retro achievements yet, sounds fun!

I have always found that wives have a certain predisposition to hypochondria. Should be that.

@meleu I think your English is better than some of us that live in native English speaking countries lol!

[meleu]

@backstander blame it on google translator! :-)

Thats the same thing I say to my Spanish teacher when she questions something I wrote.

[Omnija]

Probably going to be playing some "bubble bobble part 2" for nes. My girlfriend keeps wanting to play for the last 3 weeks. After some of that,ill probably convince her to play some "shadow of the ninja" or some snes "BS Kaizou Chounin Shubibin Man Zero".

[sirhenrythe5th]

Diablo on PSX, because i never finished Part 1 on my PC back in those days.

And Dracula X on PC-Engine CD-Rom.
Wow!, i am really impressed how great and advanced this system was spoken for 1990!

[hooperre]

@sirhenrythe5th How does the PSX port hold up? I've been afraid I'd get frustrated with it.

[A Former User]

Like usual, haven't been on my Pi so much cause of testing and stuff, but hoping to try and find some new and unusual games for the SNES and NES that I would like to try.
Got any?
