I got my modded US N64 out of a storage tub and had a go on Wave Race 64. It's amazing how every time I go back to it, even in 2016, the wave effect is still brilliantly impressive. Not only does the effect look good, but it still feels like you're battling against the ocean. And then you have the graphics, which are really bright and colourful, with only the lego-esque character models spoiling things a bit. The icing on the cake is the catchy synth music that always puts a smile on my face. Such a great game.Last edited by Leon Retro; 26-02-2016, 21:21.

Playing MD stuff on the train thanks to RetroArch on my borrowed 3DSLL. You've probably all played these so I'm instead going to comment on general controls and the condition of my thumbs after playing each game for a little while:
Streets of Rage 2 (knackered my left thumb)
SF2 SCE (knackered my left thumb, couldn't reach the triggers easily, dpad in a difficult position, clawed hands)
Super Hang-On (knackered my right thumb and doing the turbo isn't much fun so I just set the R button to accelerate which helped. Still a bit tiring to play, though)
Micro Machines 2 (now we're talking. Delightful little game and just as much fun as when I was younger. No problems with the controls and the races are short so no hand fatigue. Also, Violet Berlin!)
Road Rash (awww HELL YEAH. Slight right thumb exhaustion holding the B button but not so bad, plus the game makes up for it. Music is great, holding up+C and edging closer to someone before whacking them off their bike is still as rewarding as it ever was. Also, running animation FTW. I know it's just their dodgy art skills but he runs like he's injured one of his legs!)
Revenge of Shinobi cracking game. The music is great.
Golden Axe II for some reason I did better in this than I usually do(still haven't completed it, though).

Had a Streets of Rage II session (on Xbox one) with one of the boys last night (our youngest, 7). I thought he'd take one look at the old visuals and ask for Disney Infinity or Lego Marvel instead. But he loved it. I'd forgotten just how much fun co-op scrolling beat 'em ups are (especially one as good as this). Even when he kept 'accidentally' grappling me it was fun It was the Jp ver too, with scanlines, thanks to M2's superb treatment of the games.
Now I want Final Fight to get the bc treatment on Xbox one.
