I've been playing Fallout New Vegas and I am LOVING it! Seriously, this has to be one of the most awesome games I've ever played. I'll be sad to see it end. Fortunately, since there's so many different paths and sidequests, I can start a new game after I finish and do something different. And then there's the DLC, but I'll have to pick up the Ultimate Edition for that.

munchiaz · 09/17/2013, 09:49 AM

Started playing The wonderful 101 on Sunday. The game is truly great. Probably the best game on the Wii U right now. Challenging, awesome game play. Awesome music, and awesome cut scenes. The game is the total package. Also i picked up doom 64 and played that for a bit last night. really awesome game

roflmao · 11/09/2013, 11:12 PM

Lately I've been playing way too much of The Infinite Black on my Android tablet. It's a space-themed mmo, somewhat reminiscent to the old BBS door game Tradewars 2002. It's free and ad-free. While you can spend real money to purchase in-game currency, I haven't felt the need to yet. I'm roflmao on the blue server if anyone wants to check it out.

"The Mysterious Murasame Castle"

This game is so intense....imagine Legend of Zelda, but constantly getting hammered by enemies and projectiles from all angles like a shmup on hard mode.

MrFlutterPie · 11/13/2013, 12:11 PM

I've been playing Ninja Warriors on the SNES. I love it! I should get the PCE version and see what's that like.

Quote from: VenomMacbeth on 09/08/2013, 08:03 PMPlayed some Shadow Dancer earlier on the Genesis. MAN that game is tough! I can only get to level 3 before I game over. I hate the one-hit KO's -.-

I used to kick this games butt as a kid. Beat it and all , it was an epic ending that said "To be continued"

Today I got in some good tough games in on NFL2k5 (last one they made) in franchise mode. Very tight close games. I only have two QBs due to salary cap issues, and my backup got injured and my starter is a running QB so I put him in danger of being injured all the time. Last season I ended up 14-2 , this new season Im 3-0 so far. Have yet to have a perfect season (I dont cheat or restart games). Im on Franchise season 2020. No real players remain in the NFL. Its my own little "fantasy league" . After 10 years, NFL2k14 will return!!! SEX

It's a poor port of the arcade original the better ones are for the mega-cd and amiga.

Ninja Spirit · 11/14/2013, 07:55 AM

PCE Ninja Warriors ain't all that bad, in fact it's fun when you play it properly. I know the controls feel weird, but you'll get past that when you learn when to block, when to flip, and study bosses patterns.

I hope you are not teasing, because I'm slowly trying to make it through this game.

I played this in the arcade back in the day, but I never got too far on my pocket change.

I am doing the "no FAQ/no cheat/no videos" thing and trying to figure everything out.

whisper2053 · 11/15/2013, 08:39 AM

So...I finally figured out how to correctly set everything up so that my Duo can run through my PSX. I'm pretty happy with the result!

Bear in mind, my Duo is a non-modded model with standard composite out:

/j4p5.jpg

/735g.jpg

Can't beat Ninja Ryukendan for a test game, you just can't!

MrFlutterPie · 11/15/2013, 04:14 PM

What advantages does running a duo through a PS1 offer?

I have never knew it could even be done or heard people doing it.

whisper2053 · 11/15/2013, 09:53 PM

Erm...

Not a ps1. A PSX. PS1's don't have an xmb

As for advantages, aside from cleaning up the composite and making it look nicer on my lcd, there are all the benefits that the PSX naturally offers.

Psycho Punch · 11/15/2013, 10:26 PM

No, not PS1, PSX: the PS2 + DVR Japan exclusive... (there's nothing wrong in calling the PS1 PSX like some morons on the internet like to argue, though. The PS1 project was known as PS-X before international release). I'd imagine that you can record playthroughs with it.

roflmao · 12/05/2013, 01:59 AM

Final Fantasy IX. 20+ hours in and it's the closest Square's come to a SNES-era RPG in awhile. And it's still fun! I haven't played through it in ages. I gotta get some obey on soon. I'm feeling withdrawals.

Thanks to Null for heading up my way to kick it old-school for a bit last weekend. We made a good dent into Hellfire S and Sapphire.

munchiaz · 12/18/2013, 12:51 AM

Finally beat Zelda LTTP for the first time ever. Game was pretty great. I wish i would have beaten it as a child. It probably would have been more special. Now i need to play Neutopia and see how Zelda stacks up

VenomMacbeth · 12/18/2013, 11:38 AM

Contra: The Alien Wars on the Gameboy. God DAMN what an awesome game. It easily surpasses every platformer I have on the GB, at least as far as action is concerned. Were it not for the monochrome screen, this could easily pass for a 16-bit game IMO.

roflmao · 12/22/2013, 02:42 AM

Skyrim on the PC - holy moly, I have a hard time pulling myself away from this one. I'm currently lvl 48 and have gone through (I think) most of the storyline, but I keep finding interesting things to do. I've never played a game quite like this before.

Final Fantasy IX (PS1) - I haven't played though this in years (8 or 9) and it's been a blast playing through it again with my 5yr old. He's been gripped to the story, which has kept me going, though he's not a big fan of the grinding. Which I do a lot of. We're currently nearly 50 hrs into it and (I think) about to hit disc 4.

munchiaz · 12/22/2013, 03:01 AM

Just beat Ys III on the turbo. Pretty awesome game, but the voice acting was so bad in comparison to Ys I & II. I found it a bit easy as well.

Beat Night Striker and Keio Flying Squadron over the past few days. Played a bit of Toki and Final Fight also, and in between all that been doing some World of Tanks.

FFIX is on my backlog actually... And because I was tempted after I bought my PS2 and FFX, I skipped forward and played that. Last PS1 FF game was FF8 and I logged about 100 hours on that, maxed everybody out to just crush it with ease. I know 8 is hated, but I didn't really have much of a problem with it. It's different, but it was a FF.

I played a fair amount of FFX as well (who wouldn't - it was FF and next gen graphics!) but I think FFIX has so much more soul to it. About the same time I started playing FFIX again, I also started playing FFX, and that got dropped after <5 hrs. I gave it a good chance, but it just didn't captivate me like IX did. IX feels like a real throwback to the SNES days, with PSX graphics and the occasional cutscene.

I don't think a appreciated FFIX when i first played it. Mostly because i didn't play the classic ones at that time. But looking back on it, it is a real throwback to the classic SNES FF games. One of these days i will play through it again. As far as FFX goes, it is the last realy FF game i played, and i really liked it. So i'm looking forward to the HD remaster version on ps3

PukeSter · 01/09/2014, 03:53 PM

I've been replaying Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, one of my favorite games of all time.

Finished all 4 dungeons and most side quests, just need to get those done. The stop the moon!

Ridge Racer 64 is a super fun racer.

PC Engine Fun fact: There is a Galaga 88 ship in RR64, as well as the first level of the game.

I'm playing the Elder Scrolls Online Beta this weekend. While it's a big improvement from the last beta I attended, it's still not nearly as captivating as Skyrim. :/ I do have another buddy in the beta so hopefully we'll link up and it'll be better co-op. It looks amazing, but ... Skyrim is so epic! And doesn't require monthly fees.

Forza Motorsport III has had it's way with me lately. I've had it awhile and I'll play it for a couple days/weeks and shelve it for a year or so. This last stint has been pretty long. Maybe it's because I now have a little one who enjoys watching me play as much as I enjoy playing it. I can't believe they've come out with two sequels since this one. This one looks, sounds, and plays amazing.

Played a bit of Donkey Kong Country 2 and am gonna pick it up again later tonight, right now I'm playing the NES Legend of Zelda, on an emulator (I own practically all the games on cart) but this is a little special and different, I'm using one of RetroAchievements.org 's emulators and earning achievements for the game, on my way to level 5 of quest 1. I'd recommend you guys check it out. Unfortunately there's no other PCE games aside from R-Type, but hopefully with enough time and convincing that'll change.

All the Necromancers are dead. I just run through the beginning part of the catacombs. I die once i get to the point where its completely dark. I have the light helmet so sight is not an issue. Its just those giant skeleton dogs man.

I want to beat the game a few times before dark souls II comes out. I can't wait got the collectors edition pre ordered
