[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

[dankcushions]

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.

[ashmck73]

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.

[Stylust]

This week, I have mostly been playing, flawless Laserdisc® classics Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, Space Ace and Super Don Quix-ote on Daphne.

[Targenor]

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...

@dankcushions said in What are you playing?:

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 :)

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).

@senkun Can I please ask what emulator you are using for Metal Slug?

[senkun]

@kimwandersson

Final Burn Alpha on the pi (lr-fba-next) plays the entire Metal Slug series flawlessly. Game on.

PS: is Alena your creation? thought your username rang a bell...

[kimwandersson]

@senkun Final Burn Alpha, cool. I'll get that. And I'll try to find the roms too. :D
PS: yes, I created her! Haha, nice that you recognize her.

[senkun]

@kimwandersson

mslug games are neo geo, so they'd need the neogeo.zip as well.

ps: awesome! nice to have you around here ;p

[Meneer Jansen]

Donkey Kong homebrew for the Atari 2600 (link).

[shu1720]

Truxton (Mega Drive), Einhander (PS1) and bunch of Atari 2600 games like Demon Attack, Berzerk or H.E.R.O!

[Charco]

@shu1720 I love H.E.R.O!

[dankcushions]

donpachi! great cave shooter (the first one they did, as it happens)

so far can only get to stage 3 on 1 credit but early days!
