Air Fortress at the moment. Picked it up for $3. I've also been playing Shadowgate for the past few months. Im not using any guide so it's been frustrating at some points but I get a huge hard on when I discover something new.

half price if you buy the box wholesale, instead of by the pouch.

I dont get it..you guys play multiple games at once?

At most i could play like a new console game and a new handheld game in the same time frame. But to play a FF game while playing something else...i dunno.
How could you get immersed when youre trying to remember two different stories?

Im not trying to criticize but it just seems so..odd to me.

Currently I'm playing the game "Trying to do the bare minimum to not get fired at work with a sinus infection and crippling depression"

It's going okay I guess. If I survive the drive home I might play "Smoke some weed to forget about the pain for a little bit" or some Metal Slug 2. Or not

I don't get too invested in multiple game stories. I played DQ7 for many hours, got somewhat tired of it and started up FFL2, Suikoden, then Skies of Arcadia. Sooner or later I'll finish them all. It's rare for me to stick to one game from start to finish, the last time where I played only that one game and nothing else all day was when I powered through all of SaGa Frontier in about two weeks.

>order and find the basic parts, a zapper, and a couple of authentic controller
>no used NES games anywhere near me
>find a nice pack of Mario/Duck/T&F, Monster Party, Paperboy, and Bases Loaded also from a legit seller for cheaper for 20 bucks
>they're on their way right now and due to show up in a couple of days

Right now, anon, I'm playing the waiting game, but I'm excited.

Taking a big-ass break from FFIV. Going through an FF gauntlet so far considering I have access most of the mainline games.
I like 2 best so far (tfw no FFII-2), and 4 feels like a spiritual successor to it in a way, namely the similar rivalries between Firion/Leon and Cecil/Kain.

Been switching off between Thief fan missions, a sniper high perception/agility/luck run in Fallout, a little bit of arcanum to help a friend with his fight Mage build and Hayarigami 2 since I'm playing through the series agin and to keep up with my Japanese, and playing a 5e campaign once a week. Looking forward to my copy of imabikisou to come in the mail later this week as well

Is it really a matter of short attention span though?

I mean, one other anon said he just soldiers through games not really paying attention to story at all.
Like i get that most of the fun is in gameplay but it seems so useless to play a game with a story but not focus on it.

And reading multiple books at once seems the same. Like, ok i guess your brains are better than mine and you can retain info better but that sounds just plain ridiculous. Like what fun is that?
Doesnt sound impressive. Impressive is, you read one book and finish it in a short time and, since you have better brains, remember details to a tee. And after that book you start another immediately and finish that one quickly and so on and so forth.

I guess to each his own. I like immersion. What you're proposing would be like having a movie youve never seen before playing on your tv while playing a video game you never played before at the same time listening to a new album youve never heard before. Its dumb.

I'm thinking of buying another Saturn btw because the lense is fucked on mine. I got an action replay so I can play imports and burned games. Any idea what version I should get? I've got the classic first Ed with the original controller.

If you like Monster Party you should play Monster Party: Let's Go Again, a breddy gud romhack

I am playing Rondo of Blood and Holy Diver, and losing at both

[Anonymous No.4256926]

>Monster Party: Let's Go Again
Never even heard of it. Looks great. I'll jump on it if I ever manage to beat Monster Party.

[Anonymous No.4257098]

I've been curious about that
Sort of an RPG/Shadowgate hybrid?

[Anonymous No.4257193]

A bit yeah, only on the second dungeon, been quite busy lately. Pretty fun so far though.

[Anonymous No.4257302]

Daggerfall, Master of Arena (great taste btw), Einhander, Thousand Arms, Tekken 3, Turok 2, Perfect Dark and Doom. Lots of other games I want to get to but I only have a few hours of free time a day

I don't really play story heavy games though. In my opinion story < atmosphere. I can hardly even play games where i have to sit through cutscenes and textboxes every 5 minutes.
As for the book, i really dont read fiction either. The vast majority of books i read are academic works, where i like to read something light and something more demanding at the same time.
That way i have a choice if i want to relax or challenge myself when its reading time.

[Anonymous No.4258454]

System Shock. I'm really digging the soundtrack. As a metroidvaniafag and lover of ancient FPS, I'm shocked I haven't played it before.

Also playing Castlevania Legacy of Darkness. It's good.
