Doesn't seem to apply, and no i'm not going to watch the whole thing, i did look at all the sources he listed below the vid. it's not relevant.
Anyways this thread has been hijacked enough, i don't care what people do, just don't go around spreading bad info.Here's a definitive solution:

All, please stop hijacking the thread, especially an old one. @The-Doctor - you have been warned once already.
If you want to chat about the thread's original topic, please do. If not, please stop posting in this thread.
I'll update my list of games:
1 - Rainbow Islands
2 - Elevator Action Returns
3 - Bonanza Bros
4 - Bubble Memories
5 - Confidential Mission (with a lightgun) -
Right now I'm on a 4-way-joystick-arcade kick. I love these classic "easy to play, hard to master" arcade games:
- Mr. Do! - single screen maze-like game
- Spatter - maze-like game with a jumping tricycle
- Frogger - really? You don't know the original Frogger?
- Go Go Mile Smile - single screen maze-like collecting game with a twist
- Q*bert - it's a fun game, although the 45-degree-joystick-rotation is annoying
Honorable mention: Lode Runner - single screen collecting game
I love the simple controls and the feeling of absolute control over the gameplay. If you die, it's your fault. There is seemingly no "random-ness" to these titles.

@iandaemon Nice! Are you using an actual 4-way-stick, or what's your approach?
-
@pjft I'm using a physical restrictor plate. It's not fool-proof, but it's close.
The above are all on my 4-way-joystick custom cocktail cabinet. On my upright cabinet it'd be a totally different list:
- Golden Tee 2K - trackball arcade golf game
- Centipede - classic trackball single screen shooter
- Cloak & Dagger - single screen twin stick shooter (similar to Robotron)
- DoDonPachi DaiOuJou - lovely danmaku/shmup
- Ketsui - cool danmaku/shmup
-
My favorite games are:
Super PacMan
Jr. PacMan
Ms. PacMan
PacMan Plus
All played with a real Midway 4 way leaf that I have converted to USB into the Pi.
-
@videoarcade We are lucky Pacman and Ms Pacman got official rereleases on consoles on Namco Museum considering. There are still some Sega arcade and Dreamcast games that never got a rerelease on Ages Collection despite the fact they made it on their official survey.
-
@videoarcade Well, in case you missed it, apparently last year Namco launched a NES version of Pac-man Championship Edition, and it's awesome!
-
@videoarcade The two-player-simultaneous Pac-Man Arrangement is my favorite. (arcade version, not GBA version)

@iandaemon Part of the Namco Museum Collection Vol. 2, if I recall correctly - playable on AdvMame or MAME2010 on the Pi3 and Pi4. Great game!
-
@pjft Yes! I think its great... I bought it for the xbox360 and play both.... I would love a clean port over to play in my arcade cabinet. PacMan has been the major reason I have spent $$$$$$ fixing my arcade machine I bought new 11/27/2020. Came with a clicky 8 way....
PacMan CE's are great. It would be great to see them put some time and effort in designing a new Pacman.
My dream game would be "PacMan Construction Set"
Add your own Pac Family character (JR/Super/Ms/Pac/Etc...)
Construct your own maze and save a buildable.
My kid has this for Mario on the Switch.....
I have the basement painted with PacMan... It's been quite the experience since I am stuck home with kids doing remote schooling since they won't open the school...
-
@videoarcade Well, from what I read at the time, the version released on "Namcot Collection" (this NES demake) actually has a NES ROM file packed there - or, at least, the word out there is that the game is indeed able to be run on an NES:
https://tcrf.net/Pac-Man_Championship_Edition_(NES)
I imagine that if it runs on a NES, it'll run on one of RetroPie's emulators.
-
@pjft Pack man championship edition has also a nice release on the PSP that can be played on retropie, i quite like the look of it. also its widescreen.
-
@crush Oooh, had forgotten about it! OutRun Coast to Coast is my other must-play on the PSP for RetroPie.

Love that game unfortunately the psp emulator causes graphical glitches, and a crash on a paticular route. it's not a pi issue though, it does the same on pc.
I play the PS2 version on my PS3 . -
@crush On the PS3 I have it on PSN, at least up until a few years ago there was a proper PS3 version as well, that has probably been delisted by now.
-
@pjft said in What are the top 5 games you currently enjoy playing the most on your Pi and why?:
well
I have that too, but the ps2 version is better, despite the lower resolution, the PS3 version is but a shell of the full game.
-
Wait you all actually play games on these systems? ;)
I am challenging myself to beat 10 retro games (with no specific time limit). Im up to 8. But since this is a safe space, I have to admit that I used save states.
-
To answer the actual question, Ive probably spent the most time with:
ToeJam&Earl (Genesis) - And the remake on ps4
Zelda (NES)
Kings Bounty (Genesis) - Hail the father/mother of HOMM
Doom (PC)
Castlevania - Rondo of Blood - Hidden gem -
