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

The Doctor

@crush if you skip to 5:23 it starts talking about more copyright stuff.

The Doctor

tony hawks pro skater n64

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.

IanDaemon

@zering The "Code Veronica" sections of Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles (Wii) were nice to relive.

sirhenrythe5th

The PS3 Port of the Darkside Chronicles is also great.
Improved graphics + Trophies + MoveController = awesome gaming experience.

Zering

@sirhenrythe5th Actually I have to correct myself, Code Veronica X on Dreamcast isn't a hack but a translation of Dreamcast Code Veronica X, which was only released in Japan for that machine. It seems there are no notable improvements over the original version, apparently the differences affect mostly some of the cut scenes.

IanDaemon

@sirhenrythe5th The move controller was pretty much just the wiimote with "motion plus", no real difference.

sirhenrythe5th

@iandaemon Sure, but it looked much better :D

KINDA OFF TOPIC:
@sirhenrythe5th I miss the "on-rails renaissance" we enjoyed with the Wii console. The world needs more light-gun games (with accurate motion aiming).

sirhenrythe5th

@iandaemon also unforgotten: House of the Dead: Overkill. Marvelous! :D
EDIT: and Dead Space: Extraction of course.

mth75

Commandos 1
Broken Sword 3
Lamplight City
Age of Empires 2
Simcity 3000

Because I loved those games in the early 00's (except Lamplight City from 2018)... and now I'm able to play them on the Pi4! thanks to Box86 and Wine.

Have you checked out the Sinden light gun? Looks pretty good.
