What are the top 5 games you currently enjoy playing the most on your Pi and why?
-
@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:

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.
-

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 -
@crush if you skip to 5:23 it starts talking about more copyright stuff.
-
@bobharris my top 5 games are:
tony hawks pro skater n64
tony hawks pro skater 2 n64
Mario kart 64
super Mario 64
legend of zelda ocarina of time, also for the n64 -
@pjft have this too on my ps3. Sega lost the Ferrari licence and coz of that it was taken from PSN
-
Currently I've been really in to discovering fighting games I never played back when I was younger. It's been a fun journey so far! I guess my top 5 would be:
-
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike (Dreamcast)
This game is just wow...I've played many other Street Fighter games, but this one just feels so smooth. Unbelievably good. -
King of Fighters '99 (PSX)
I never touched an SNK fighter until just the last week or so and I must say I really like this one. I know '99 isn't one of the better KOF games out there, but I really like the gameplay mechanics (team play, super combos, etc.). Similar in feel to Street Fighter but I think just a little deeper. -
King of Fighters '99 Dream Match (Dreamcast)
I'm planning on immersing myself fully in this series because I'm really impressed with it. Living in the US, KOF didn't seem very popluar outside of the more hardcore fighting game fan circles...which I am shocked by because these games are fantastic. -
Tobal No. 2 (PSX)
Obscure-ish sequel (that was never released outside of Japan) to a little-known 3D fighter from Squaresoft for the PSX. I had no idea Square made a fighting game back in the late 90's but like everything they put out at that time, it's pure gold. This one came out in '97 and it still looks fantastic to this day. Fun fact - many members of the team that developed Tobal 1 & 2 went on to work with teams that developed the later Tekken games and later Virtua Fighter games. There's also a really cool Quest mode where you can progress and any monsters you capture can be used in the Arcade mode. There's something like 250 playable characters in this game!! -
Resident Evil Code Veronica (Dreamcast)
Not a fighting game, but I've always wanted to play this one...also I had a hankering for an old-school RE. Just started it, but I'm still surprised at how good this game looks despite being 20 years old
-
-
@flamnel Code Veronica is my favourite classic RE, and a huge game to boot.
There's a hack for the Dreamcast game that also incorporates the improvements from the PS2 version. -
@zering The "Code Veronica" sections of Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (Wii) were nice to relive.

The PS3 Port of the Darkside Chronicles is also great.
