What are you playing? - Page 76

rsn8887 · 22 July 2009, 01:01

Finished Kickle Cubicle on NES a couple days ago. Now playing Tomb Raider Underworld on PC. Just finished Thailand, the second level, but I am already getting tired of the game. Something is just wrong with this one. I mean compared to Legend and Anniversary which I both loved.

Also been playing a bit of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 on Mame - awesome stuff!

I want to play lots of WinUAE games, but whenever I fire up the emulator I find myself benchmarking and "trying out" games more than actually playing them

I am having a re-visit to Tomb Raider II - still a great game but creaking with age a bit now...

Anakirob · 22 July 2009, 09:18

I'm pretty determined to finish Fire & Ice (CD32) without cheating. Just over 70% through ATM, won't be playing much else until I've beaten this ******.

Puzzle Quest. Really good.

Aye, the game never becomes boring. The second one is less good though.

I've finally been playing Cybermage, courtesy of TCD for making it available to me. It is actually a fun game, a little hard (even at the novice setting).

Also been playing Ultima Underworld again. One of those games that will never get boring.

Ah, Ultima Underworld

I like both of them and guess I should replay them since it's been a while now.

Currently playing Monkey Island Special Edition (I don't rush through it like Shoonay

) and all the Metal Slug parts (currently at number 3).

@TCD: Abandonia is your friend in this case

The last time I played it I really lacked the manual, which is quite necessary if you want to do spells and such... I got some of them by simply guessing.

Ultima Underworld, that i never finished, neither i was going too far in it due to its difficult controls and general difficulty was anyway one of the games that satisfied me the most among the dungeon runners/adventures. it was soo dark!

extralife · 22 July 2009, 14:57

Well right now i'm playing quite a few games really, sadly i have to admit i have fired up my wow account again and is back in the tankin game

But on a more normal gaming level i'm now playing streetfighter alpha 2 on the mame emu and R-Type on the mame aswell (the psx version is even faster and just as good yay!!) and for the cherry on top, i'm really set on finishing Final Fantasy IX, thx to the wonderfull pSX1.13 emulator, what a wonderfull game so far, to me it feels much better then FFVII and a true unapreciated gem, very close to being the best Final Fantasy i have played yet, but offcoz FFVI on snes rulez them all

No amiga games right now, Rick Dangerous have been forced on a little break

IMO it is the best one of all. Fantastic graphics for the PSX, chock full of secrets, great and fun story and the minigames are actually fun to play. If only the magic system was just a little bit closer to that of materia, it would have been near perfect. Oh well.

I also agree

It is probably my favourite alongside FFVII but i found it a bit too easy and completed it quite quickly! But it is still a brilliant game with great characters and story line... and i like the way the characters randomly argue with eachother and mess around

The game is easy... if you do NOT try to complete it 99%. (I don't count the last percent as that is Excalibur 2, which is near impossible to get).

Excalibur 2 is indeed hard to get. You have to get to a certain spot in the game within 12 hours on the in-game clock, and this works only for PAL versions, NTSC versions are a little faster, so you have even less time. Some people even complete perfect games: They get all missable items/key items, get perfect stats, and then they still manage to get Excalibur 2

Roboman (286 with CGA mono) - simple but good platform game, not much good arcade games for CGA...

Only possible on the PS1 also, playing it on a PS2 makes it impossible to get 100%. It is the trick of opening the disc tray to skip movies from playing, otherwise you are simply not getting to that part of the game with 100% completion in only 12 hours.
