What games are you playing this week? 2017-05-15
-
That's a really great idea. I already pick a retro horror game to complete every Halloween. Last year was 'Super Castlevania IV: Uncensored' and before that was Capcom's amazing first entry into the horror survival genre, 'Sweet Home'.
-
@mediamogul I bought Pokemon Yellow when it was new along with my Atomic Purple Game Boy Color. I never got very far in it back then either. :-/
-
I missed out on the Pokemon games as well. I wonder if you would had to play them when they're new to really get the impact of them. I do remember my college roommate would play one of the N64 Pokemon games a lot. I was busy playing Half-Life, Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament at the time.
-
@backstander I never got into FPS or fighting games much either. I'm more of a platform/JRPG guy.
-
@hooperre Diablo on PSX is great!
Only issue that i have is that the background music randomly stops sometimes.
Besides of that the conversation of Diablo for the PS1 is well done imo. -
@sirhenrythe5th Thanks. Sweet. I'll give it a go then.
-
@hooperre you are welcome and enjoy splattering demons in the dungeons 👍☺
-
I need to check out the psx version of diablo. I played the pc version way back.
-
I just stumbled across Mariachi Entertainment System and it's incredible
-
Turns out after playing bubble bobble part 2 and reaching level 24, we (as in me and my g/f) went into donkey kong and beat king k roll.
-
Just to keep the same feeling, I've started Contra Advance: The Alien Wars EX (GBA). Really fun and has cheevos: retroachievements.org/Game/2424
-
I just got a free pi3 from ordering ~$20 worth of stuff from arrow.com (deal's over if anyone was interested), so I can finally run a couple games my pi2 was incapable of running at fullspeed like the sega system32 games Arabian Magic, Golden Axe 2, and Spider-Man. Demon Front as well. Though, I had to downgrade to fba2012 for that one because even with an oc'd pi3 @ 1.3ghz, it still wasn't fullspeed in lr-fba.

@meleu Are you just going to play all of the contra games and get achievements?

@lilbud something like that. Are you coming too?
I still have "Beat Contra (NES) without using Konami Code" in my ToDo list. -
@meleu no, I'm planning on running through the Dragon Quest games.

@lilbud it's a pity they don't have cheevos...

Metal slug 2, with the slowdown fix. Came up as a random game suggestion yesterday, and played it for a bit. Going for just 1 credit, I'm currently getting to the middle of the second mission.
It's great fun.

Metal slug 2, with the slowdown fix.
It's funny, I was using the 'surprise me' feature of Emulation Station last night and this came up. I thought I'd play it for a little while before moving onto something else, but I ended up playing it most of the night.

@mediamogul , @pjft
If you guys like sidebars only overlays, don't forget this one made by @UDb23 : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5798/metal-slug-2-overlay-for-lr-mame2003-and-lr-fbalphaIt's a good oportunity to use the rpie-art script ;-)

Very nice! I need to start looking at adding those. Is there an option to install them all at once in the script?
