What are you playing?

Beat Super Double Dragon yesterday. I didn't find it that difficult to beat and I had a great time with it. That said I do want to check out the Japanese version of the game and give that a try.

I played MyHouse.wad for Doom II today. To say it is not what it seems would be an understatement. If you play it don't exit the level when you get the blue key.

There's also this video if you want to spoil the fun for yourself: [ Show youtube player ]

Worked fine for me in GZDoom 4.10.0.

Re-tried with 3.60 = Fine

Just finished P.O.W. on NES. Quite hard little game.

Started playn' Rare's Captain Skyhawk (also NES)

[DanyPPC]

Finished Rick Dangerous Extended A1200.
There are 4 levels.
Previously I finished the ColecoVision version, titled Risky Rick.

Anyway these conversion are more playable, the originals one on C64/Amiga are harder.

Started playing Bioshock Remastered on Steam for the first time lately.
I really like it so far.

I kind of wonder what you will think about Bioshock Infinite and its story DLCs. To me that is one of the best FPS games ever made due to the film-worthy story and world, voice acting, music and near flawless implementation of how you interact with Elisabeth who acts as an NPC follower, but I am in a minority there.

Today I'm playing Hubbard tunes on my old 6581 made in W.Germany C64 and Tiny Rails on my laptop to relax. Works great.

I've heard many great things about Bioshock games overall (not to mention that TCD was telling me quite often to play them at some point).
One step at a time. I tend to be a quite thorough and that means also slow at finishing games.

Beat a few more Arcade games in the last few days. Last week I beat both Bomberman and Cyber Police ESWAT. While I enjoyed Bomberman I didn't enjoy it as much I enjoyed the consoles version of the game. Cyber Police ESWAT on the other hand was something I really enjoyed playing. Yesterday I beat Mercs and that was a lot of fun despite dying all the time.

For non arcade games I beat Batman Returns on Saturday for SNES which I had a good time with playing. On Sunday I beat Double Dragon Advance for the GBA and it was a good challenge and I had a great time playing.

2022 A DOOM ODYSSEY

What it is:

2022ado is a Boom/MBF compatible megawad (seriously a mega megawad) for the Ultimate Doom. It is a tribute to the original 2002ado released 20 years ago but with all new maps and music. The megawad has taken over 5 years to create.

I'm usually not the biggest fan of Doom 1 megawads, but this one is quite something. It is clearly inspired by the original maps, but puts them to 11. Pretty amazing stuff.

Do you have a list of games you've beaten?

I keep a list in Excel at home. I've been marking what games I've beaten each year since about 2018 or 2019. The first few times I did it pen and paper. Last year was the only year since I started where I got to the point where I didn't write down what I beat.

Arabian Nights Amiga, never played it back in the day because screenshots never appealed me but a random Youtube video made me do a double take. Man this game is pretty slick. Fast, colorful, excellent music, music + sound during gameplay, non-linear levels, puzzle elements, humor, NPC interactions, tons of secrets... what doesn't it have. This is now my Superfrog.

[TCD]

Arabian Nights is also a game that I didn't play back in the day. Not exactly sure why not, but I agree it is very good. I guess because it came out in 1993 it didn't get more attention. Just a shame that the CD32 version is just shovelware.

I keep my list since 2005, and at first stopped when I got steam, but then last year I figured out how to extract finished game from Steam list (at least one with achievements) and started adding Steam games to the list. I started list after getting couple of books for Genesis (Megadrive) and SNES games - Awesome Secrets. I started playing those games to the end around that time.


BTW, now I use RGL (Retro Gaming League) to find some other interesting games worth finishing, be it with unlimited number of coins for arcade or with save states, after we done with game in RGL. (link in my signature) 2 current games are both Arcade titles, I never played one of them.



@gimbal and TCD - the game is good, but not SuperFrog good. Not to mention that there is a value in SuperFrog ending. That ending really made me laugh back in the day.
Interestingly, they both had vertical shooter level, project x for SF and flying carpet in Arabian Nights. Still remember playing Demo and getting game afterwards. (this was in Germany)
