What games are you playing this week? 2017-06-26
-
Terranigma ;)
That is/was/will my game for the last week, this week and surely next week :) -
Been playing Mario 64 a bit. Don't think I ever beat that bad boy as a kid. Hi-res textures are great.
-
Tetris on the nes
-
-
I'm trying out the new 3DS game Ever Oasis. So far it's Zelda-ish with some city building to it.
-
The Super Mario Land 2 DX project looks like it's coming along nicely.
-
super Bomberman on the Snes!
-
I have been playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate HD which is on sale on Steam for $2.99 right now. It is an 2.5D Metroidvania side-stroller platformer. It might not be as hard as every other Castlevania games but it has a decent story with cool cut scenes. I believe this game first came out on the 3DS and later an HD remake was put out on the PS3/X360 and then a year later the HD version was ported over to PC/Steam. BTW: I've been playing it on my RPi using Moonlight even though I had a small issue with my controller mapping but that has all been resolved! I'm about 9 hours into the game and I think I'm just barley halfway through it.

The Super Mario Land 2 DX project looks like it's coming along nicely.
That does look pretty fun! Let us all know when it's finished ;-)
-
@backstander Haha, it's not my project, but when I see the project posted, I'll be sure to let everyone know. I'm not sure how it will be released.
-
I'm playing Paper Mario on N64. Pretty cool game. I thought it was going to be a platformer, but have quickly learnt its more like the sequel to Super Mario RPG. I am enjoying it and love the aesthetic. I can see why many love Paper Mario.
-
After a few days of playing it I can safely say that Ever Oasis has hooked me like no other "new" game in a long time. If you have a 3DS, I really recommend checking it out. It has that excellent quality of pulling you in and making time fly by, well, until the battery gets low ;)
-
Trying to get further on Batman Returns for the Sega CD. I completely ignore the platforming stages and just play the driving game. It has really impressive scaling effects. Seriously it's almost like an early PSX game. Holy man is it a hard game though. Very unforgiving, but I really enjoy seeing the underused scaling capabilities of the Sega CD.
-
As I said in post #2 Terranigma for SNES - it's a fine RPG. I never was addicted to RPG but this rocks :)
-
@drake999
I thought that same thing about the Sega CD Batman Returns. I actually couldn't figure out how to complete the first area so I gave up lol.@obsidianspider
I really need to pick up a 3DS! You've been finding some cool games for it!@cyperghost
I've never played Terranigma but it does look pretty good! -
@backstander The item system of this game is really superb - kind of innovative for this time. I'm currently playing since 2 weeks and I think I'm on 50% stage. And the fun goes on....
Do you know "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars"?
I think Terranigma is even a bit better...But I may consider your tip and playing Castlevania - not the steam version but still the NES/SNES classics ;)
-
@backstander Yeah, you really have to work hard and persevere if you want to see those awesome scaling effects. Another great game the showcases the scaling capabilities of the Sega CD is Soul Star, but it has the same issue with extreme difficulty unfortunately. It looks absolutely wicked though.
-
@cyperghost Super Castlevania IV is the best in my humble opinion. If you are able to play that, I highly recommend it. I can play that for hours. Haven't quite beaten it yet though.
-
Rocket knight adventure. I built my bartop arcade and I discovered this game on a Facebook page a few days ago and it's really hard but cool .
I can't believe I had never heard of this game . I had a mega drive as a kid. -
@beamquaker I'll have to check that out. I was a huge Mega Drive fan as a kid, but from where I'm from it was called the Genesis. Konami games are almost always good (well at least they used to be, will never forgive them for cancelling Silent Hills). That's a pretty awesome bartop arcade by the way.
