(Retro) What have you been playing this week?

[Skull Commander]

I'm addicted to Daytona on the Saturn. The graphics look awful, but once you get over that it's pure gold. Less is more, and with a mate we spent ages trying to beat each others times on the first course.

I'm playing Castlevania SOTN again on the PSP this time. I never seem to get bored of playing this game.

Tempest X (PS to PSP) in anticipation of my Jag and Nuon arriving!

Enjoy your new toys muddy, Tempest 3000 is a masterpiece.

Yes indeed ... and I was so disappointed the DC version couldn't hold a candle to the supreme playability of the Saturn version.

I've just finished TMNT: Return of Shredder as I was feeling in a Turtles mood and I've just started Twinkle Tale.



I'm trying to play some MD classics that I might have missed and re-play the ones I loved playing.

So far I've played:
Streets of Rage 2
Golden Axe
Rolling Thunder 2
Strider
Alien Storm
Splatterhouse 2
Thunderforce 4
Castle of Illusion
Devil Crash
Wardner
Shadow Dancer
ESWAT

I'm actually looking for ace games with 2 main buttons. I can cope with games that sometimes use 3 (Golden Axe/Shadow Dancer magic, for example), but something that uses 3 all the time is awkward (Dick Tracy's background shooting or Altered Beast's 2nd attack button).

Any suggestions?

where did you find a working Nuon ? .... I tried to get one a few years ago, but it didn't work out like I hoped... I'm dying to play Tempest3000 some day (I have the orginal game at home with 2 nuon controllers).

[Lorfarius]

I've been playing Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines all week. Fantastic RPG:

Does Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory count as retro?

Off our very own dvdx2 on these forums! I was asking for a Jag and Tempest2K, and he piped up and said he'd consider selling the Nuon. It's awesome.

[TheForce]

nice, I still once in a while check on the net if there is a Nuon for sale, but never found anything interesting.... I think that all that have a working Nuon at the moment are the people that are Tempest players, they will never sell it..
I once was very very close of getting one, everything was arranged and in the last moment the guy backed out of it... still in pain of it...

I still have some (small) hope that one day there will be an NUON emu so I can still enjoy to play my Tempest3000 on a PC...

Just yesterday I recieved my Dreamcast from a guy on here and have played a lot of F355 Challenge (first ever game to get me interested in simulation racing games and cars in general) and it's still fun to play now. I also had a go on Daytona USA 2001 which has strange drifting mechanics to get my head around. Also had a go on Shenmue quickly which i'm looking to replay from beginning to end.

This is the first time i've been able to play DC games through VGA as well, so everything looks super clear on my LCD.

[Skull Commander]

I've been playing Daytona Dreamcast as well. After getting obsessed over the Saturn version I have revisited the DC version. The handling isn't as tight, but it is still a decent game. Not up there with the best, but if once you get used to it, it's a nice racer.

Also been playing Super Runabout. I love going around San Francisco in games, and although some of the vehicles are just bizzare in this, it's a good wee game.

Finished Chrono Trigger, now getting stuck into Secret Of Mana

Not very keen on modern RPG's but i love the 16 bit classics

[garrz32]

Spinmaster... great fun...

Legend of success Joe...aww it's so sh1t,it's funny (I think)

City Hunter...great music,and good fun but it's certainly not better than Rolling Thunder.

[Lorfarius]

Spinmaster... great fun...

Is that the one with the yoyo as a weapon?

[garrz32]

Yep,that's the one...music is good on it,but the speech is a bit nargghh
