I just hit 10 hours in Earthbound on my Anbernic RG280V. I’m looking forward to trying some more SNES games once I’m finished (Super Mario World, Street Fighter Turbo II, Zelda: Link to the Past, etc.).
Interested to hear what you all are playing? Or, what retro games are on your “to do” list?
I started Phantasy Star on my Odroid GO Ultra. Was looking for the game on my Master System but the pricing is a little over the top. Purely priced for “collectors” and not gamers.
Re-playing Shadows of the Empire on 64 right now. Always loved it as a kid, reading reviews as an adult and I’m shocked to find out it was never highly regarded outside of the opening Hoth level. It felt like a real gamer’s game, hardcore difficulty growing up. The ship levels were so good.
I was playing Donkey Kong for Gameboy, but save got corrupted when I was near the final level. Then I was playing Pokemon Pinball for Gameboy Color, and Pokemon: Fire Red and Warioware Inc. for Gameboy Advance.
I’m playing Zelda Link’s Awakening DX. There’s a fan made patch that fixes annoying things like those text boxes popping up every time you pick up an acorn, or when you touch a rock without wearing the strength bracelet. And I was able to continue playing the same save file.
I really didn’t think the game would be all that good but it’s great. The whole island feels very alive and every screen has something special about it. I wouldn’t mind the next generation of Zelda being a little bit like this.
On the remote chance you don’t already know - definitely check out Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. They have the same engine but have much cleverer gameplay and dungeons and much deeper stories.
Would X3TC count as retro? It’s from like 2005. I tried playing X4 because fans said it was like X3 but better… But it’s not. It’s so much more convoluted in all the wrong ways. The menus are trash. The RNG sucks. The AI economy is even worse. X3 is still a way better game.
Pokemon Ruby, I’m planning on buying a 3ds to mod but for now I’m just playing on my computer. I missed this generation of games and the speed up option on the emulator makes it better although some of the dialogue gets repetitive.
I’m not sure the difference, but I’m doing the standard mod to allow emulated games and changing the language because the Japanese ones are so much cheaper
Hard mods are modifying the 3DS hardware, whereas soft mods are software. The difference is doing something like installing a chip into your 3DS (hard mod) or leaving it with the original hardware and only modifying the operating system to allow third party apps or modifications to the first party apps (soft mods)
Finished playing Summon Night Swordcraft Story GBA, playing Ghost Trick Phantom Detective NDS, and started yet again Final Fantasy IV this time on the GBA, all emulated in my Android phone thanks to Lemuroid.
Also started playing Resident Evil 3 PSX on my Android tablet (also Lemuroid).
I just rage quit Abe's Oddysee because despite checking a walkthrough for possible missed Mudokons, I managed to miss 3 by the time I got back to Rupture Farms
If you haven't played it before and planning on a 100% run, at least find a walkthrough that tells you how many you need to save per level and then do your best to keep count as you progress.
