I'm finally playing Tales Of Monkey Island... I know... I'm late I played the first three episodes and then kinda lost interest and now I'm back to finish them all. Already finished the first episode again and have to say I really like it

I'm a bit curious about the Walking Dead from the same people. I have had a taste for zombie killing in Dead Island, I crave to have it in a more story oriented setting. Not that I have any interest in the TV show though.

TES V Skyrim (4th char, doing 100% run), might replay TES III Morrowind (fav game of all time) and TES IV Oblivion next.

Of course I do some random Amiga gaming on the side. going through my diskett collection.

Played through Rick Dangerous 1&2 today.

Also tried out Pyongyang Racer, a crappy browser racing game, actually developed in North Korea

Hehe yeah, it's quite a while ago since I last played them though... I find these games strangely addictive.

Just finished Rick 1 yet again, this time the browser flash version

Done with Tales Of Monkey Island (last two episodes were rather average, not really my cup of tea) and now I'm playing Hexen 2 via Hammer of Thyrion. Never really got to play it before, so I'm quite into the slight RPG/adventure elements Not a bad game at all.

Still playing PES 2010 and Deluxe Ski Jump 3(due to the season, I guess) on my PC.
I can't remember anymore, why I registered under a different name here, but I'm also still playing in the F1GP competition at lemonamiga(as Akabei).
I had a go for Lotus II today and thanks to lordofchaos reference, I'll give the excellent Seek&Destroy another try the next days.

Emulated Pinball Challenge Deluxe (Dreams+Fantasies) for GameBoy Advance - much better than SNES version because more similar to Amiga version. Game was not smooth on JXD iGame V3 but it is very smooth on JXD S601 - no frameskip, slowdowns or screen tearing.

Bought a NES homebrew game (from 2010), on cartridge... got it today.
Battle Kid... the sequel was just released so I'll definitely get that one, too... it's a really nice game.

It's one of those games where you only have one hit point and it's quite difficult, so you die a lot... but that's part of the fun.
However, the checkpoints are spread out a bit, so you do have to replay several screens each time you die, pretty much... but still, it's very addictive and it feels great when you finally beat an annoying area

Talking of that, I beat the third boss just now, I found that one very difficult... cool boss, but very frustrating as you can only take one hit.
The boss has 6 different attacks, which it picks at random, but the color of the boss changes depending on what attack is coming next.

You can see the boss here (not me playing), fast forward to 1:35 -
