To open the blue door near the beginning take the pots and threw them again the door

Do I need to do something before that? I feel like I need to apologize a person called Weaven... (actually the elder told me to do so)

edit: nevermind. I sorted it out. :-)

Frontier elite 2 on the amiga, I'm learning how to fly again.

[meleu]

A little off-topic but maybe some of you has a hacked PS Vita and is interested: the PS Vita port of RetroArch got cheevos support.

[obsidianspider]

@meleu's retirement is going to be funded by "Big Cheevo" ;)

[obsidianspider]

Another random off-topic thing:

If anyone in Europe comes across any of these Game Boy Advance candy containers, I'd like to buy a few, but not at the crazy high prices I'm seeing them for on eBay.

[meleu]

@obsidianspider 's retirement is going to be funded by "Tiny RetroGaming Builds" ;)

[obsidianspider]

@meleu I'll be surrounded by half-started projects. :)

[meleu]

@obsidianspider going back on topic: have you discovered what we are supposed to do on Super Tank stage 2?

[obsidianspider]

@meleu I kept dying in stage 1. That game is so bad. I'll give it another try today and see what I find.

[buddyscott]

@obsidianspider whoever is selling those is making a killing. bought for $1 and selling for $30!

[obsidianspider]

@buddyscott They're 16 years old, but still. Sheesh.

[spruce_m00se]

its an excelent investment , almost as good as LEGO ?

[obsidianspider]

@spruce_m00se Probably less deadly if you step on one.

I watched this week's James and Mike Monday where they tried out Haunted Castle and I decided to try it myself. Holy crap is this game hard.

[celly]

@obsidianspider that game is brutally hard. I too watched that vid and tried it. Throw my controller after a few tries. No thanks.

[mediamogul]

@celly, @obsidianspider

You two have probably already seen, but Mike has since beaten the game. If you watch him play some of the more difficult games, he basically breaks every single movement down to a memory exercise of exactly where to stand, jump or strike at any moment. This is most obvious in his playthrough of 'Dragon's Lair' for the NES. That mechanical, memory-based approach to gaming takes a lot of the fun away for me personally, but as a result I'm not likely to ever beat as many difficult games as he has either.

[mediamogul]

On the subject of Castlevania, the entire first season of the new animated series was released today on Netflix.

[obsidianspider]

@mediamogul yeah, memorizing a game isn't fun to me, but to each their own I guess.

I hope the Castlevania Netflix series has at least one person who says "What a horrible night to have a curse."

@kisu2012

What settings are you using?
Is it running smooth for you?
I have very slow in-game movements on my Pi 2

I am using an overclocked Pi3 in ES. It doesn't run amazing, but it's fully playable.
