(Retro) What have you been playing this week?

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

I take it that is SMW? I have been telling a friend about all of the secrets in the game, not how to get them but what is there. He was amazing at how much is in there. It is truly stunning game design.

Playing F-Zero on SNES, what a brilliant racer. 21 years on it is still fast, still exciting and with the expert and master levels, a proper racer.

Late reply, but no, it's Super Mario Bros 3. SMW is SMBA2.

Ah I see. I do like SMB3, but not as much as most people.

['Press Start']

Not playing but I have been thinking about James Pond: Robocod. I really enjoyed that game and miss the good old fashioned Toy stage, Sports stage, Sweet stage etc etc.

Played a lot of Crazy Taxi and a fair bit of Samba De Amigo, both on Dreamcast. Such quality!

[vanpeebles]

Neo Turf Masters, Garou and Shock Troopers

I'm having a real resurgence in actually playing games lately. It's been super famicom day today, the firemen, just how good is it! Hadn't played it in years and had forgotten how brilliant it is, just needed to take a wee break.......

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

It is a good game, though in my opinion, not as good as most people make it out to be.

Did you know it was one of the games developed at the Human Creative School?

Heh, I should try and find that article in Super Play... shame that PAL copies are so expensive.

[B1gBeard]

Trying to 1CC Magician Lord. I'd be better off with a bottle of whisky and a gun really.

[Spooky Mulder]

Lifeforce and Elite on NES, Nichibutsu Arcade Classics on Super Famicom, Sega Rally on Saturn...swoon...

[Atticus]

Symphony of the Night. Again. I know this castle like the back of me hand.

[Tetsuo]

I played Batman Returns on the Super Nintendo last night. Love those big sprites and the surprising amount of moves you can do.

But I wasn't very good at it it has to be said, even on the Easy difficulty setting . I got to Catwoman and she gave me a proper good seeing to (meow).
I think I need to use the block button a bit more as I played without realising it was there! Going to give it another go tonight, should do a bit better I hope

Picked up Alundra on the PS1 last week and have been giving that some play time. Really good action RPG that I just haven't got round to playing till now but really good, much better than some of the Zelda's over the years.

Quite Brutal as well in places all I can say is Inao village wouldn't be on my RPG holiday location list. Nice story with some lovely 2D graphic's, just picked up Dracula X on PSP as well so I might be joinning Atticus on Symphony of the Night again, shame it's not the Saturn version however.

[Colin]

Kikikaikai on SFC today. Wow, so much better than the PCE version. The little 8-bit wonder fought back though, SFC adventure island is a poor rival, I switched that off after ten minutes.

[losersclub]

It has funky music though Colin!
