Still practicing to get my learners permit.

Well it's not a retro game but I've been playing 'Paper Mario: color splash' on the Wii U for the last few days.

It's the first paper mario game that I've played as it never appealed to me but it's so addictive. Really funny as well. They did do the usual Wii U thing of trying to force the use of the gamepad screen but they at least have some options that mitigates that. I'm looking forward to trying the gamecube and wii games in the series after this.

Just watched that episode, I love Rick and Morty and that was among the best episodes :D.

[lilbud]

@ruckage By far one of the best episodes in the series.

The driving instructor when seeing @lilbud coming.

[lilbud]

@meleu Hey, c'mon now. I haven't run into anyone or killed anyone yet, so I should do fine.

[meleu]

I was playing Shovel Knight last week and reached the Tower of Fate.

And then started to work on "cheevos scraper"...

And then got distracted by Mega Man X when testing RetroArch on my PS Vita...

For this week I want to finish the "cheevos scraper" and Mega Man X. :-)

[lilbud]

@meleu Good luck with Mega Man X and the Tower of Fate, I still haven't beaten those levels and its been 2 weeks.

Not a ton of gaming time for me this week with Musikfest going on (the largest free music festival in the country), but I've been enjoying testing out this week's MAME ROW choices, and have also been putting some games on my 3DS for my trip to Europe next week. Thankfully I got a USB adapter so I can keep it charged on the long plane ride.

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider What games are you putting on your 3ds for your trip?

Also, where in Europe are you going?

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud I want to play through the original Final Fantasy, I've not done that, so while I was there I added some other NES games.

The Netherlands. It's for work.

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider Did you see the new "New" 3DS Samus Edition?

I'm mourning the loss of being able to hack a wii u through the internet browser. Looks like there may be a new method to hack it through Crunchyroll, but not enough information has been released to say for sure how to do it.

[pjft]

I'm playing UN Squadron, and maybe a bit of TMNT Hyperstone Heist if I do have the time. A bit of Outrun as well, as a palate cleanser. And maybe some classic Street Fighter 2. Just 1 credit at a time when I have the chance.

I'd love to finish the work on custom collections though. Let's see.

[obsidianspider]

@lilbud looks cool, but I like my plain black n3DS XL. It's unassuming, but has a few tricks up its sleeve.

[Starcade2084]

None so far this week, too busy at work & getting out late is cutting into my game time before my gal gets home. I need to get back to Metroid (hooray for save states!!) So much still to do in the game, haven't gotten to the first boss yet!

[tashman]

Turbo Esprit on the Spectrum and Football Champ on MAME.

[pjft]

@tashman Both great choices!

[tashman]

@pjft

I used to spend hours on Turbo Esprit. It was probably the first "open world" driving game. Maybe I should have spent more time trying to nail the drugs car and less time deliberately causing traffic jams.....

As for Football Champ - there's nothing like a spot of controversial rough play. It's a very humourous game with some great detail.
