@spyork i have encarta running in windows 3.1 in dosbox on the pi. I believe it is the “designed for wondows 95” version

Such a poor excuse for breaking the rules. There's no support for scammers here.

In short, no. The systems are too different.

@braiden While both are RPGs, the focus and gameplay, practically everything in the game is different. Like if you would compare Overwatch to Call of Duty, both FPS genre, but drastically different mechanics. Said that, Final Fantasy games live from its atmosphere, characters and epic single player story. And the game mechanics are often very interestingly done. PokeMon is more like a multiplayer game. First, it does not have a epic story or characters like a Final Fantasy game. The main focus more like searching, collection, training your monsters. And also fighting and trading with others is integral part of the series. Probably everyone knew it already, but I just feel like bringing it up here.

@beyonslay I am a bit suprised you mention this game, because I thought of retro only. But you are absolutely right, this Zelda game is probably one of the most important games to play. I still did not, as I don't own a Switch. But I will play it for sure, maybe this year.

Scott Adams text adventure

Nice, i like the Idea for Text Adventures, but my Games are also Playable with multi-language support or without any language. For german and other non-english User are the Games playable. The Adams text adventure are only in english and hard to play for kids and Users with bad English Skills for an text Adventure.

@herb_fargus That's what I was thinking.. an overclock that won't run on his pi, since every pi is different. Or using different controllers with a driver enabled that is interfering with the controller he is using.

@TommyEllas What controllers are you and your friend using ?

@darishzone The gamelist XML file format is really straightforward and easy to read and edit. Don't be afraid to experiment. If you're editing the files from a PC, I recommend using Notepad++ for this.

OK, thank you

Nobody talks about soccer anymore. Just found a new game fitting this thread.

Pith Helmet, Jungle, has to be Sabre Wolf on the 8 Bit Spectrum/C64 and Amstrad.

The author of the game, Chris Murray, was 16 when he programmed Henry’s House.

@jland1180 said in PS1 games freezes for a few seconds:

To answer the recent questions and suggestions, I am not running with vibration on and i have a class 10 SD card in it.

Is it a name brand SD Card? Where did you get it from?

@will I know, those games are and was working before. Its just the incompatibility with the rewind feature.

@drake999 said in Wife friendly games?:

@quicksilver Same here, when I was a kid my mom wouldn't touch video games with a 10-foot pole.

Then you'd have needed an 11-foot pole, "the thing you use to touch things that you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole."

Snow Bros, Zupapa, Bang Bang Busters, Tumblepop and Don Doko Don are great kids games on MAME. Others already mentioned Frogger and Rod Land.

Also fantastic, but a fair bit more difficult, are Kickle Cubicle, Pang (aka Buster Bros) and Solomon's Key.

Also check out Funky Jet, although it might be deemed to 'aggressive' by some (beating enemies with boxing gloves while jetpaccing around).

For kids a bit older, Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy might be fun, as well as Spinmaster.
