I'm going through a mixture of games at the moment, but mostly the Yakuza games on the PS4 and the Far Cry games on the PC (catching up). I also enjoy firing up some retro games on my little RG350M and also EmuELEC.

Anubis · 08 February 2021, 03:18

RG350M is really cool device. I completely reinstalled mine. Firmware and OS, with new menu.

I did not have will to play much games over weekend. We dud get new table tip board game foe family.

I couldn't do much else but hang at my computer, all of a sudden it became winter in a bad way :/ Snow, freezing temperatures and lots of wind. I haven't seen that in years, the wind actually created some snow dunes in my back yard.

So yeah, back to the comfy golden oldies of Factorio and a little Civ6. I also played a little Robocod and that got me interested in watching videos of other versions of it. It surprised me that there is a PS1 version. The levels look boring but the music is interesting, it actually has James Pond Underwater Agent and Christmas tunes mixed in. The James Pond tunes don't tonally fit the game but it was cute to hear them anyway.

In a shoot em up mood, so tonight I played Apidya
And Wings of Death.

gimbal · 12 February 2021, 11:42

Yeah I feel that. I might boot up some lesser known shoot em ups, like Ilyad, Zone Warrior and Pegasus. I don't think I ever booted those up since the 90's.

Anubis · 12 February 2021, 13:37

Playing bit Witcher3 and Pillars of Eternity.

rabidgerry · 12 February 2021, 13:53

Pit Fighter (yes I actually like this game!)

James Pond
Skid Marks

gimbal · 12 February 2021, 15:06

I love the aesthetics of James Pond, but jebus the basic gameplay loop is to collect X of Y and bring them back to the start pipe, usually one by one. That's hard to play for more than half an hour. Thank god for WinUAE and save states.

A500 · 15 February 2021, 09:27

Megalomania and Pushover here. Great for relaxation and fun!

Anubis · 15 February 2021, 14:48

I played some C64 games over weekend. Manly Bubble Bobble, Rick Dangerous and Turrican.

seuden · 15 February 2021, 23:42

CyberPunk 2077, Dune 2, Minecraft with my boy.

I get ya but I'm determined to get further in it. You get so many chances at extra lives but hell you can lose them real quick! I love how it looks as well. I got further with Robocod if I remember rightly. There is something really far out about Robocod though, like what kind of fucked up world is it? lol at least with James Pond he's just in the sea and it's ocean themed etc

Never played the 3rd game.

Save states?? I wish

The game needs a level skipper or something in the whdload version I play.

Been playing Street Fighter 2 today and more Pit Fighter and IK+. A tiny bit of Ivan Stewarts Super off Road also.

Empire - Wargame Of The Century

Not a joy visually!

Gameplay..... Superb, particulary in Hot Seat Mode.

Anubis · 16 February 2021, 13:16

Amiga - Bubble Bobble
PC Engine - Bomberman

gimbal · 19 February 2021, 00:40

Streets of Rage 4... at first I thought some of the bosses were military grade BS, but then I stopped using Axel and from that moment on the game turned into a combo-spewing powerhouse. Extremely satisfying to beat the tar out of these cartoon characters with increasingly more flashy and devastating blows

Nobby_UK · 19 February 2021, 23:41

Just started Dragon Age:

Not liking the control method

Holding Right Mouse Button gives 'better' control

Anubis · 20 February 2021, 05:26

With daughter played bunch of 2 player games including:

Bubble Bobble
Bomberman
Pang
Pinball Fantasies
Yo!Joe
IK+

This was a lot of fun, especially Bomberman on PC Engine.

I started playing it with Blaze and struggled. Then I switched to Floyd and had alot more success steamrolling my enemies. Love that power game.

gimbal · 20 February 2021, 11:53

My favorite so far is Cherry. She's lightweight and thus doesn't have good throws but the fact that she can do a lot of moves airborne... love it.

Also I've been diving into My Time at Portia. It's a nice relaxing crafting game with some Stardew Valley influences and a hint of Zelda here and there. I wouldn't call it a game-game, it's more of an unwinding tool. Days are not too long and not too short so you can always squeeze a little romp in there if you're busy.

Time Pilot (Arcade/MAME, Konami, 1982)

It looks like I forgot everything about mastering this game. 80k points was the best I could do in two runs.
