Something not right about watching Gollum's loin cloth flap in the rain.

Guardians for the iPad. That shit's tight. All my characters are level 30. They need to raise the level cap.

PukeSter · 01/11/2015, 01:07 PM

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (N64). Still not perfect at this series, but I did manage to beat 1.

Also playing Ninja Gaiden (NES) on Wii U.

wildfruit · 01/11/2015, 07:33 PM

Played a bit of captain toad treasure tracker. Its fun

roflmao · 01/11/2015, 08:44 PM

I got Chrono Cross for Christmas and picked up Raiden III (PS2) and Animal Crossing (GC) last week and all 3 of those games are getting regular play. I'm enjoying all 3 more than I was expecting, though in Animal Crossing's case it helps to be playing it with a 6 year-old.

Still playing Smash bros. on Wii U. I also finished up Lunar: The Silver Star this weekend. Finished up Astal this weekend as well. And i beat the scenario mode of Flash Hinder today. I'm on a roll this weekend

Medic_wheat · 01/12/2015, 09:12 AM

So I was playing with my SS gifts and getting my OBEY on yesterday and wow.

1943 is so much better then the NES verson I am use to. A little harder but still fun.

R Type I. I can get to the third stage but when I am working my way through that ship I keep getting crushed towards the end of it. Need to think it through more.

As for R Type II. I CANT EVEN GET PAST THE FIRET LEVEL LOL. I get maybe halfway I think just after those glowing laser shooting enemies but then a few frames after them I get taken out by one of those worm/snake thingies lol. I spent maybe 30 minutes on it got frustrated and put on some Bonk to cool things down and play something easy lol.

blueraven · 01/12/2015, 01:12 PM

Lunar: The Silver Star on Sega CD is far better than any of the remakes.

Enjoy it!

SuperGrafx · 01/18/2015, 06:32 PM

I've been working on finishing up HALO: Spartan Assault on my Windows Phone.
There's a sequel coming up, so I want to wrap this one up before the new games arrives.

I just beat this like a week ago. It was awesome indeed. I found it a bit easy though.

roflmao · 01/21/2015, 12:07 AM

Lol, I've never played the original, but I'm right at the end of Lunar Legends on the GBA (via Gamecube). I'm loving it, as is my son and will probably finish it this week. I wish I had a Sega CD to play the original.

TR0N · 01/21/2015, 01:55 AM

I completed grandia finally it's the first time ive done so to.For the longest time,i've had the saturn version plus a walkthrough but i never sat down to play it.So i downloaded the PS1 version onto the PS3 and played it that way instead.I enjoyed the game for being a light hearted rpg but i wish the PS1 version had a better localization

munchiaz · 01/21/2015, 12:29 PM

Started playing citizens of Earth last night. Its a new RPG that is inspired from Earthbound, and Suikoden. You play as the vice president of the world. Its pretty neat so far

The text localization is competent.
However, That dub is awful

Well all those caps for the text but yeah it's dubbing is terrible.

Medic_wheat · 01/22/2015, 11:26 AM

I started playing Cobtra Force on the NES again last night. Honestly I don't know why it gets so much hate. If it remained as its own thing instead of them slapping CONTRA on it it would have been liked much more. It is a decent fun game with some challging parts.

I enjoyed it

Also played a little Duck Tales on the NES as well. So much fun to play a game and not have to try to hard and enjoy the experience.

Because

Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a duck-blur!

I bought the DVD sets (well, two of them?) to rewatch DuckTales with my daughter. Some episodes are weak, sadly, but I still like 'em.

I can't believe I have had that theme song stuck in my head for so many years...it's sad.

Ducktales 2
Rescue rangers 2
Bubble Bobble 2

Adventure Island 3
TMNT 3
Dragon Warrior 2, 3, 4

Probably others I am blanking on at the moment.

Medic_wheat · 01/22/2015, 10:17 PM

So I am playing th punch out 2 that never was today and I have to say for the most part I am kicking butt.

Going to take a break as this green mo fo has beaten me three times. Sigh. And everything k have to re fight skelitor.

He isn't hard per say but my hands are getting tired.

Some elements of the game I have yet to understand

And there isn't mich in the way of reviews apart from people tag quoting it on the first opponit who seem to refuse to even TRY and figure out the game and call it trash.

Which it isn't. It's actually fun.

So on the training events which increase your life/hit points strength of punches and speed to dodge you need to get five concequtive hits with the trainer then hit the robot trainer to get that bonus. I can usually get two sometimes three hits to the trainer so far. Also having. Automotive continue to your last fight even when you lose is nice.

At times I seem to break up the oponits rhythm and a sound comes out and a glove comes out as drops. Not sure what that does or if I need to do more when it Halle s but at times the opponit can punch the bonus glove out lol

I have get to get a KO OR TKO. I have knocked down my oponits and keep my connected hits higher then my opponit so I have only won through the judge. Although at times I could have sworn I should have won

Medic_wheat · 01/22/2015, 11:20 PM

Wow okay so I finally got to the final round

I can hardly land more than 5 punches on this guy and with my status maxed out.

I can hardly figure out his pattern.

It HAS to do something with how his right glove shines at times. That has to be some sort of tell that would allow me to either break his pattern or land more damage.

esteban · 01/23/2015, 05:02 PM

I never knew about this. I think it looks intriguing.

Time to learn about a new game!

Time to learn about a new game!
It is called Power Punch II. "Mike Tyson in space."

The story if I remmeber goes something like this.

mike tysons punch out was popular.

This was to be a sequal to it but published outside of Nintendo.

Then Nintendo executives went to check on progress it was not what they liked so they disowned it.

Then due to the drama a that Tyson raped a women and they "changed" the name of the main character.

The game is seemingly universally hated and you can find it $5 loose and I would guess $20 boxed.

I got this one loose at a retro game store for $5. And we all know most brick and motor store charge at a premium for even common cheap games.

Oddly I have yet to pick up mike tysons punch out or the mr dream punch out. Although I did pick up super punch out and punch out for the Wii a few months back. So I am close to completing my punch out library.

So if anyone has the other two new punch outs for sale hit me up

roflmao · 01/24/2015, 12:51 AM

I got a Retron 5 yesterday and put it through the ringer last night. I played through Enduro Racer for the SMS (via db-elec's homebrew powerbase adapter) and for the first time finished Pop'n Twinbee for the Super Famicom! I tested a ton of other games, but those were the only ones I made it beginning to end with last night. I'm really impressed with this device. GBA games look so much better than via the Gamecube's GB Adapter and with the ability to to save at any time, play translated versions of JP games, fast forward through unskippable bits and all via wicked sharp 720p. It's pretty slick.

And I'm still trying to finish Lunar Legends. I've made it to the final boss, but he's crazy tough compared to everything else in the game so I need to do a bit more leveling up... I think tomorrow I'll be able to put that game to rest.

munchiaz · 01/26/2015, 11:29 PM

Started playing Fire emblem:awakening again for the 3rd time. Lets hope i can actually continue through it and beat it this time.

mackdanger · 01/27/2015, 06:14 AM

Hopping between Valis III on the Duo R, Super Shinobi on the Mega Drive, and Crossed Swords on the MVS.

BigusSchmuck · 01/27/2015, 02:41 PM

Just finished the Dragon Quest 1 remake on my phone. Nothing special, just did it at lvl 20 and for shits and giggles never bothered to rescue the princess.

roflmao · 01/29/2015, 09:41 PM

I finished Lunar Legend and my son and I have been having a blast playing through tons of vintage 2-player co-op games with invincibility cheats turned on.

All old school shmups. It's been a fun few days.

TR0N · 01/30/2015, 03:12 AM

Mario Kart 8

I did get that gold gilder finally in MK8

Waiting for Metroid prime trilogy to finish downloading hnnnnnnffff

VenomMacbeth · 02/02/2015, 03:50 PM

So Eternal City is AWESOME. I mean sure, the backgrounds are repetitive, the enemies...well, let's just say the game resembles an early Genesis game. But it's somehow...very addicting. As some have said, it bears some marks that are quite reminiscent of Metroid (ESPECIALLY the first game) and I can totally see that, and it's seriously the best thing ever. I just got the "Back-Booster" and I'm highly enjoying that. I really wish the game had a translation patch, as a decent half-story would make up for the graphical shortcomings.

Anyway, I strongly recommend this game, if you can find it for a good price. It may be somewhat bland, but it's also pretty unique among PCE games.

Digi.k · 02/10/2015, 07:52 PM

DragonmasterDan · 02/16/2015, 08:25 AM

With a weekend to relax and time to play games, starting on Friday night, I fired up "Friday the 13th for NES" which I finished Saturday morning. It took me a few tries through the game to actually beat it.

From there I fired up Banjo Tooie and Conkers Bad Fur Day for N64 which I played a bit of Saturday and Sunday.
