Playing co-op with a friend:

Completed Mystical Ninja on the SNES.
Completed Joe & Mac (Arcade Version).

Very Enjoyable.

Been playing Return of Double Dragon on the SFC which I adore. Really technical fighter and despite ropey visuals, well worth playing is it is one of the best in the genre.

Also completed chapter 1 of Doom on the SNES. Obviously it isn't very smooth but I like playing it on the 16 bit console. It is impressive when you strip down how much they got in.

Got owned on master level of F-Zero. Death Wind, despite being an oval track just killed me. Can normally do it but not this time!

Finally I have been playing Dracula X: Rondo of Blood. As it stands I am upgrading the game from average to good. Seem to be getting on much better with it now. I always loved the levels and overall design of the game but the jumping remains crap.

I can almost hear you from beyond the grave, keep playing................

[nakamura]

Heh!

Well not had chance to go back to it but I will. Annoyingly I want the SFC version now but it is rather expensive. Maybe I will get it around birthday time.

Just back into Final Fantasy VI on SNES these past couple of days. Finally made the World of Ruin and things are moving along nicely. 19 hours play time and still no grinding needed.

Popped in Exhaust Heat 2 for a few more races. Currently on the F3000 series and in the process of upgrading the car to tackle the tracks. Lots of content in the game too. 32 tracks over the 3 car classes.

Been doing a bit of Final Fantasy I on GBA and I'm still really enjoying it. Still seems waaaaaaaaaay too easy, I mean, killing a 'boss' in one hit? So far, it seems the biggest threat to my party is enemies that cast death. Luckily I have equipment that nullifies that spell.

Just got the airship, so I'm guessing I must be approaching half way? Not changed classes yet though.

Sadist.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

In what way?

It's still better than the current gen JRPG's.

[nakamura]

Not better than the recent Wii rpgs that's for sure.

It's one of the hardest RPG's I've ever played. Granted I haven't played that many, but that ice cavern... holy ****, it's one hit and your done from there on in it seemed.

[nakamura]

Well I played the PSP version of Final Fantasy I and sailed through 17 hours without trying it was so easy. Then I lost my save data.

What level were you in the ice cave? I went in about Lv25 and left at Lv41. Too easy. I think I've only had to use revive once so far.

Sat in bed for most of the morning with my ereader and card binder, played a crazy amount of pikmin puzzle card e. Some total mind benders on the later cards, forgot how much fun it was playing them, oh nintendo why did you kill it off so soon?

Think I'm around lv35 just entering the cave - about 12 to 13 hours in. How far is the ice cave from the end? might pick up where I left off if I'm close.

Been playing a lot of Revenge of the Gator on the GB. Loving it.

Such a great pinball game, despite the fact it is on such old hardware. Do HAL's other pinball games match up to it? They did Kirby's Pinball Land and the Pokemon Pinball games didn't they?
