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 was playing super star wars. But the lava kept killing me

Yeah, that part is stupidly hard.

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It's fairly forgiving but I still haven't beaten it!

I've been playing through a few castlevania games. I've currently completed super castlevania, rondo of blood and am almost finished with SOTN. All amazing games. Rondo's soundtrack is so good!

Are there any others I should try? I was thinking of trying to play through the NES trilogy but not sure.

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).

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.

Played through the entirety of FFT:WotL via PPSSPP on my tablet. Great game, first full playthrough since the 90s.

Deus Ex and System Shock.

World of Warcraft: Retail.

In my Steam backlog:

  • KOTOR II
  • Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
  • Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire
  • Deus Ex
  • System Shock 2
  • Devil May Cry Collection
  • Styx series
  • Resident Evil 1-4
  • Okami
  • Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
  • Star Wars Pod Racer (just for kicks)

None of them are super retro, but you can definitely tell when I was a kid. These are either games I enjoyed or games I wanted as a kid but never got.

Also need to play through a few Gamecube games for the same reason. Viewtiful Joe is first on the list

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.

Fallout 3 on my Xbox 360 and having a blast with it.
