(Retro) What have you been playing this week?

[Lorfarius]

More Zelda 2 for me. This game really gets some unfair negative press its actually a lot of fun and pretty challenging.

I second that. It's actually a really good game. I guess its a case of people not liking change (and still dont!).


OT: I've been playing Super Mario RPG the last couple of weeks. It's actually alot bigger than I expected. Pretty fun but the game begins to get a bit tedious unfortunately.

I'm desperately trying to get earthbound...preferably with box and manual and scartch and sniff thingy still intact, but not at an extortionate price ?_? ?20 - 30 is ideal. ?40 if its around pay day haha.

Also, i've just bought Bomber Man Hero NTSC on the 64 from america on ebay for ?15. Complete in box and manual, looks to be perfect condition too. Not bad of a price IMO.

Might be awhile before you find one at that price.

Just picked up a copy of Ninja Gaiden Shadow and Wario Land on the Game Boy great little games.

Also been playing Shining Force on the Mega Drive nearly finished it now.

Yeh i know.. if i see it unboxed for that price, i MIGHT get it. I ended up doing that with super mario rpg, except it had the manual, just no box. I also want to get chrono trigger, the final fantasy games (got mystic quest), act raiser games... loads more i need/want lol.

I played the NTSC version of mario 64 last night, first time i've ever played it at 60hz lol jeez, what a difference! I'm surprised at how fast it actually plays. Makes me want to play through the whole game at its intended speed lol

I was looking to get Earthbound for a while but was unwilling to pay more than ?40ish for a cart only. In the end I gave up and have started playing through it on my Wiz

Making my way through Dragon Warrior on NES, currently level 11. It's a bit simple and grind heavy but still fun. I love the world map music.

I had a Snes session a couple of nights ago, with Sonic Blastman, Aladdin and Rival Turf.

Sonic Blastman is a Final Fight Style beat 'em up, based on the punchy arcade game but not really sharing much similarities with it. It's not up there with the best, but it is above average and I enjoy it.

Rival Turf I have finished loads, and again it isn't the best game, but there is something about it that always brings be back to it. I like it's blatent attempt to be Final Fight, and it has some cool music into the bargain.

I've talked about my fondness for Snes Aladdin on here before, and I still think it's a great game.

[noobish hat]

Don't think I've mentioned it, but I've been playing a spot of N64 games recently.

Rival Turf/Rushing Beat is badass, got slated when it came out for being a blatant clone when SF2 clones were scoring well, its as good as any other Final Fight alike imo.

[moonwhistle]

I think Rival Turf is crap. The 2 sequels are alot better though.

[SharkSkin-Man]

I really like the second Rushing Beat game, remember picking that up from my local indy when I was about 13. One of the better beat 'em ups on the SFC.

Today I actually played Panzer Dragoon Orta on the XBOX for the 1st time! Whilst I own all of them bar the full PD Saga, I never sat down and gave any a good going over. Needles to say I had a good arse handing to at the 1st attempt, however I took the knock and have now reached the final boss using one continue

This final mofo is doing my head in I smashed the 1st form's nuts in two in 5 seconds, but the 2nd form appears to have Katsu seeking bazooka jiz'isms that are taking me over the edge of madness in RAGE!!

I'm desperate to finish this so I can unlock the Original...

[J0e Musashi]

The original is lame anyway, it's the PC version.

[losersclub]

Been playing Pulseman (MD) as i didn't realise it was on the Wii virtual console and i've never owned it......didn't realise it was bloody 50hz though!

Still, great game regardless

[tokyochojin]

Been playing a lot of Fighting Vipers 2 on the Dreamcast. It's an awesome game, with tons of character and still holds up to today in the gameplay department. Would definitely suit a HD update!
