I played Batman: The Video Game (Gameboy) a bit this afternoon, just to passtime and earn some cheevos. It's a platformer, but in 2 stages it's a shooter. A short and fun game.

It's always great to find some new games, which are based on quests. Especially when you can play them with your friends, and especially those quests which you have to play with your friends. Two weeks ago, we've been play in real escape room ques game called Saint Angelo’s Castle (here it is: https://komnata.co.uk/london/escape-room-quest-sanangelo-london/), and what I wanna say is that creator definitely know how to impress their customers.

@capeman I'm more envious of that jungle green N64

Nba jam snes.

Not sure about Hotline Miami, but those other two games run absolutely fine on the Pi 3. I was playing Powerstone only the other night funnily enough. Very impressive on the Pi.

Not to be a Pi fanboy (well OK maybe a bit!) but the problem for me with buying these alternative boards is we think we need more power to run emus for N64 and Dreamcast or that that would improve things, but ultimately it won't offer a dramatic improvement to the end user over a Pi 3. N64 is not really a friend of anyone unless you are running GlideN64 on a fairly powerful device and even then it's not that great (trust me I know). I agree GlideN64 is driving N64 emu right now, but you have to realise that it is becoming more demanding as development continues. Going on my own experiences it has had a very chequered history on my Android devices, where it used to run well on a decent spec device (Tegra 4, 2Gb RAM, but now is beginning to show slowdown even on the lower settings and after user amendments to settings. Heck it used to run OK on the Pi 3 when it was Glupen but not really so much now. I assume this will not get easier over time and ever more powerful devices will be needed to run it.

Reicast simply hasn't had an update in many years and is again not really worth changing over from a Pi 3 for. Until this sees a considered update it's again not worth chasing.

Just imho.

@retrofreak89 does that run on the pi???

@meleu Thx - will update to 1.6.3 ;)

Okay one rule: Fun! ;)

@meleu I did!
Played all the GBA and DS one, and the first one on GB. I have yet to finish "Order of Ecclesia" , that game is too damn hard for me...

@meleu Ok, yeah if I ever figure it out I'll share with the community. I did manage to get the Lords of Thunder CD game working relatively easily. Not sure why Castlevania Dracula X is any different, but there must be a reason.

@ruckage I thought Sonic Mania was getting a release for the Megadrive?
Is it only current-gen? Then I'll have to try it on PS4.

@obsidianspider sounds cool hope you find something worthwhile.

@villanova08 try starting the emulator with verbose logging enabled. You can turn that on in the run command menu if you press a button while the game is loading.

Metriod Fusion

@meleu I unknowingly got the warp zone in Turbo Tunnel, I was just trying to beat it and next thing I know, the screen flashes that I got the super warp and I'm on round 5 all of a sudden.

@meleu There's also a NeoGeo version where you must first hit all items behind your foe and then barricade deems away and then the ball can left the playfield. It's called Bang Bead
I saw @ruckage told you :) and I will try out Windjammers

Personally my week was massive gaming with QUAKE-EP5-Dopa
Terranigma for SNES is on half way, I created mankind now :)

Anyway here is the vid of BangBead

@mediamogul Haha! :)

@ecks SNES, I'm sticking to the original feeling.

I have been sending roms over my network using the network share (SMB) that is built into RPi. If you are on windows, go to windows explorer and click on Network. In there you should see all your networked machines that are sharing. RETROPIE should be one of them. once you are there, navigate to the roms folder and you can drag and drop to your hearts content. :)

@meleu

Nice! 'Contra' is one of those games that seems tailor-made for cheevos. My play habits have been so scattershot lately that I wouldn't mind fully committing to a game for some tough, object-oriented gaming. The bonus cheevos appear to be mostly two player, but they're extremely creative. It looks like a few are even escort missions where the second player can't ever die or fire a shot. Very keen!

I agree they are missing some classics. For 20 or so older legacy games it seems to expensive. I already have all the exact games running on the Pi but for the people that don't like messing with this type of stuff it's a good deal I suppose. A lot of people play around with my Pi setup, love it and ask about how it works but where the rubber meets the road they don't have the time, patience or know-how to build one and just prefer the plug-n-play. I see the NES classic edition is going for around $250 US on eBay nowadays, sad but true! :)
