Let's talk about what we're playing on RetroPie!

The Legend of Zelda (NES)

i've played most of the Zelda games, but not the first two NES games. i've finished zelda 1 now, but holy cow that game is HARD! i've finished dark souls 1, 2, bloodborne, etc, and there's nothing in them harder than rooms like this:

i was trying to play it legit but i ended up using save states a lot in the final few dungeons! i can't believe kids beat this game back in the day :)

other than that, i did enjoy it! i really liked having to keep notes and draw maps to keep track of everything.

what about you?

Pac-Man World for PSX

Though I bounce around... Was playing Genisis Lion King but stopped as I can't seem to throw scar off a cliff

@Drakaen391 you just bot to get him where you want him and then flip him off the cliff :p had the hardest time with that as a kid

Drakaen391

I choose with some friends 2 games to play for 15 days, trying to earn some achievs using the RetroAchievements feature of RetroArch.

Now we're playing Felix The Cat for NES, and X-Men Mutant Apocalypse for SNES. :D

man, the lion king was HARD. i either had or rented it when i was a kid, but looking at longplay videos, i barely got to the part where you're grown-up simba.

I still have to fire up Jungle Hunt (MAME), Exciting Hour (MAME) and California Games (Lynx) - though I only ever play the surfing :) - every couple of days. Nothing beats a couple of minutes here and there for some mindless fun.

I just can't stop playing Metal Slug, the whole series in sequence is such a gem to replay.

Right now its Transport Tycoon that gets played, just building up my empire and then let it run for itself.

Arcuza

I'm playing all those games I didn't have patience to finish 20 years ago... Like Ocarina of Time, Metroid Fusion/Zero, Super Castlevania.

I really love emulation, too bad I don't have the time to figure out how to get Donkey Kong 64 working. I have a camera issue with that game...

The original Legend of Zelda was my favorite game growing up. At one point, I was able to speed-run through the game in just under 2 hours.

I tried playing it again recently, and those rooms of blue knights were damn near impossible.

I'm getting all nostalgic over Atari 2600 games I used to play as a kid over school holidays.
Joust, Q Bert, Berzerk & Enduro were personal favourites!

i missed Adventures of Lomax an amazing plaformer released on PSX, one of the games which was created by a god of pixelart Henk Nieborg himself (lionheart, flink, shantae and many more, for more info visit his website http://www.henknieborg.nl).
