Been playing some Double Dragon II and Alien Breed 3D on the miggy, Minecraft on xbox and Witcher 2 on PC. I would play the C64 but I'm paranoid it will die before my 1541 Ultimate arrives

I'm on a SNES trip these days playing some of the games I played to death back in the 90's.

I recently played through Zelda III and Soul Blazer and now I'm halfway through Secret of Evermore.

I just started up my Amiga 500 after being in storage for 18+ years (it was in the attic, where the temps exceed 115 here in Phoenix Arizona).

Starting Ultima III - will move on to IV, V, then VI - I LOVE MY AMIGA!!!!

Minskies. So amazing, it looks and plays just like some Japanese title for SNES/MegaDrive/NeoGeo.

DARK SOULS - PC version

with the graphics mod by Durante (which is a must have as it makes the game on the PC kick the sh** out of the console versions).

Awesome game and very much a challenge.
Not the sissie hold-your-hand type of game you usually see in these times

I'm a big fan of FROM Software, especially the King's Field series.

Finished Shadow of the Beast 2 again, without using savestates... just to find out if I still could, it's been quite a while since I played it

Going to try and do the same with Beast 1, but I doubt I'll be able to do that still, it's been even longer since I played that.

I've also played some SNES games lately, it's been ages since I did that last... played through Super Turrican 1&2, and Donkey Kong Country, so far.

Also give the obscure Demon's Crest a try, it has a great style. The way it starts is already epic

[ Show youtube player ]

And if you miss out on (re-)playing Super Metroid I'll personally fly over to kick you.

I've actually never played Super Metroid /ducks

I'll try out both of those games, thanks for the suggestions.

I envy you. The beauty of being able to play Super Metroid for the first time... I wish I could forget all about it so I can experience that again.

Thanks for sparing me the plane ticket btw

Should you be looking to play a fun RPG, Chrono Trigger is awesome. Although there is also a very cool DS remake of that. And heck: Putty Squad!
