(Retro) What have you been playing this week?

[Strider]

Just completed mega drive castle of illusion. Love it.

Michael Jacksons Moonwalker on Megadrive,never played it much back in the day and can't get very far on it lol

[nakamura]

We were just playing that, superb fun.

Just completed mega drive castle of illusion. Love it.

I played it when I found out about the remake. It's gorgeous. Hasn't aged a day. Can't believe the final boss used to take me aaaages. This time I beat her on the first go

Finally 'finished' and had my fill of GC LoZ: Majora's Mask. Couldn't be bothered to try to collect all the masks and some of them I didn't manage to collect I've now looked up in a walkthrough and discovered the stupid amount of time I spent on some of those puzzles were utterly pointless.

That sort of thing and a few others things I didn't like about MM but it does have some great ideas. It is just a pity about Nintendo's kiddy level character design and story telling. I really have trouble getting over that.

However I'm glad I've eventually played it but it will be a long time before I'm in the mood again for any more LoZ.

What do you mean when you say you played it 60hz for the first time?

Also working on my SNES RPG's and Mario Games for the different consoles. I enjoyed Mario RPG but I honestly think its over rated. Still a good game however. I am currently playing Illusion of Gaia and I just completed Donkey Kong and Super Mario World with my gf.

Been playing a bit of Rygar on the Sega Master System. It's a proper old school action game. I sank many an hour into the Speccy version but this is a whole lot better.

I've been satisfying my annual PSO needs on the Gamecube.

[Nu-Eclipse]

Just about finished ALttP - about to enter the final dungeon to face Agahnimh/Ganon. Still a fabulous Zelda experience, even if the passing of time has made it seem remarkably easier.

I originally planned to play through as many Zelda as possible before A Link Between Worlds was released, but time constraints have made that tough. I should be done before Friday.

Thanks to PS Vita TV I have this week re-visited R4: Ridge Racer Type 4, which I hate now even more than I did in 1998.

Yesterday I played through Scenario A with Leon in Biohazard 2 in one sitting, getting an A Rank score.

Tonight I am going to play Biohazard 3. I only played it once upon release, not liking it as much as I had the first two games. I remember almost nothing about it, so I'm looking forward to it a great deal.

I've got Metal Gear Solid: Integral lined up for sometime over the Christmas break too.

I might even go for the latest PSP Monster Hunter too, providing you can get a D/L.

Vita tv>PS4.

Why hate R4?

[J0e Musashi]

It's lame. It always has been. It can't hold a candle to Revolution.

Bags of style though, even if it doesn't please the RR core. There's hardly been a racing game since with such a unique and defined style (much like the earlier Ridges' brash colour schemes, announcers, and helicopters).

Racing games now are like...here is a photorealistic version of a real-life car, on a real life track. OR, here is a photorealistic version of a real life car, in an eerie city of cars but no people. An anodyne Cartown inexplicably filled with strategically placed billboards. Billboards that you can crash through are the most important element of any contemporary non-simulation driving game.

[nakamura]

R4 is easily the weakest Ridge Racer but it's still quite good. Certainly style over substance.
