@SutterKane and playing Super Mario World/Donkey Kong Country on mobile devices instead of doing crosswords... :)

@tashman said in What games are you playing this week? 2017-03-06:

Phantom Slayer on the Tandy Color Computer. An absolute classic.

oh man! tandy! i remember playing a dinosaur game on my dad's tandy. looks like I'm going to have to find that game this weekend. #nostalgia

@lilbud

Update: Got Breath of the Wild, it is truly amazing. And a time sink too.

@capeman Question, do you run this with lr-Stella or the stand alone core? I can only run it from the stand alone core.

@backstander

It is a Metroidvania platformer that also brings back memories of playing Goonies II on the NES (only way better).

That's high praise. I might have to check that out.

Myself, I've been playing a lot of 'Famicom Wars' this week. I have a casual objective of moving onto 'Military Madness' from there on the TurboGrafx-16 and finally onto the two 'Advance Wars' games for the Nintendo DS. It really is true what they say; War is hell... and so darn cute.

@AndersHP Yes, I have forgotten many.

@domodan Although not as big as your 60" screen plan, my cabinet is a functioning 4-player design that plays all of the classic arcade games plus some consoles that interested me from when I was a kid (Atari 2600, NES, SNES). Check the link in my signature for details about my project.

As you are probably concluding, you can get away with playing most of the older consoles using arcade controls, provided you have enough buttons. For me, that was six action buttons for players 1 and 2, and four buttons for players 3 and 4, not counting coin and start which double as select and start for consoles.

I am looking forward to seeing more details about your project, as we seem closely aligned in terms of what you want to play--the only difference being maybe that I wanted some portability and the ability to play vertical games from the short sides of my cabinet so the image can fill the display.

@quicksilver
I just messed with that one today and it’s incredible!

@markyh444 made my father in law one, set it up with the minivmac emulator so he could play continuum

@BuZz

Thankyou!

Wow, I think you might have started something with this thread, lol.

I guess I could try streaming on YouTube, not tried that from my phone before.

I spend most of my time on the arcades, but some of the traders are quite good as well as the cab sellers.
I do Blackpool as well although they are both a hell of a drive.

I like the look of sociable soccer so I might try that as well.

You can always use your phone too. Samsung makes docking stations for their phones. I've used mine quite a bit while traveling. It provides HDMI output and a USB hub so you can plug in controllers.
