What retro game are you currently playing /vr/?

[Anonymous No.6598479]

>pic related for me

I decided to bust out the NES mini and this was the only game that looked worth getting into. I've beaten it a dozen times but hey that's over almost 30 years... On top of that I almost always played the SNES All Stars version, so this was the first time playing it on the actually NES in a looong time.

Right away I am liking it better than the SNES version with the graphics. The art style is much superior, and the variety in world 1 and now starting world 2 is amazing. The non dog bone controller is hurting my hands, a lot, but I'm getting used to it. Trying to go through all the levels in one sitting. Wish me luck.

The controller was designed to hurt your hands so you don't spend all goddamn day playing video games.

Swapping back and forth between Dragon Warrior 2 and 3, I'm at the beginning of 3, almost at the end of 2.

I'm using a double EXP hack for DW2, but that's really not making things that much easier, it's just making the grind go faster.

That's a translation failure. In the Japanese language certain greens are blues can be referred to with the same word. Their traffic lights are 'blue' (but they'e obviously the same colour as everyone elses).

I just finished playing through Metroid Prime 3 with PrimeHack so I could use KB+M instead of the fucking waggle controls that made me drop it as a kid despite loving Prime 1 and 2.

I started to check whether that counts as /vr/ yet and then remembered I don't care.

Megaman Legends 2 and Hexen for the psx back and forth randomly.

I also played a few levels of Super Mario 3 randomly just to see how bad I am at it. I died against the first last boss, as in not the dungeon one but the airship one. I didn't try twice though.

I'm playing the first Adventure of Lolo game released on Famicom(called Eggerland - Meikyuu no Fukkatsu). I'm really loving it, since it's nonlinear.
But it has some dumb puzzles that I think it's explained in the manual(which sadly I don't have). There is a puzzle, for example, that requires you to move a square over a place an enemy spawns so that his new spawn point is exactly in a place to solve the puzzle. The problem is that until that puzzle, it was never required to solve a puzzle in that way and placing a square over their spawning point just made them stop spawning.

I recently started the sequel. It seems to retell the same story, more or less? I'm still pretty early into it though. Also the music is inferior and the battles are slower.

Anyway, that's what I'm playing. You, though, should play Genghis Khan. Or you can play Solstice if you prefer.

Is F translated? I hope they did the Saturn version and not the PS1 version, PS1 has a comically bad soundtrack.

>The art style is much superior
I could understand preferring the original over All Stars, but I don't think it's "so much" superior, All Stars still looks largely the same as the original, but with more colors and more background assets. It looks great on its own too.

For some reason I thought Prime did indeed start off as a 64 game like Eternal Darkness did but I guess I dreamed that.

Also decided to break out the NES Classic after the LEGO NES was announced. Decided to play Super Mario Bros and it’s still so fun to play. I personally never understood how people are bothered by the NES controller. Are you tightly gripping it? I just hold it and the corners don’t dig into my palms

I'm playing the first Gradius because it's free with Switch Online. It's the second Shmup I ever played, after Parodius on the SNES more than a decade ago.
I really love it, it's extremely fun memorizing and perfecting the levels.

[Anonymous No.6605067]

I've been playing pic related for the last week. I was never really into shmups as a kid but I'm having a blast learning how to play, I should have got into them sooner. Got a 2cc today, I think another week and I'll have it beat.

Lately it hasn't been too retro over here, recently played through MGS1 and MGS2 and started MGS3 the other day.

I did beat Donkey Kong Country and Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures this year on my SNES, two games I've played a lot as a kiddo but never completed. feels good!

[Anonymous No.6605780]

OP here.

Just got to World 7. Already have died 62 times.

Fuck me.

15 years ago I beat it in one sitting, with barely a dozen deaths.

World 5 kicked my ass, especially that one level that you jump on those flying beetles. Should have used the P-Wing waaay earlier.

Well it's still a perfectly decent rendition of that story (thus far). It's just the same thing over, but with lots of different story details and various little mechanical and aesthetic tweaks. Kinda weird. If that sounds good to you then you may as well play it I guess. The music isn't awesome like in the first game but it's good enough, and the graphics were substantially upgraded. The tactics are all inscrutably named and I can't remember which one is which, just as in the first game. There are battle formations now but I can't tell what they actually do. There is a map feature. Zhang Fei has an eyepatch or scar or something. It's fine.

But yeah they did slow down the auto-battles a bit so the endless anonymous armies you fight will take longer to clear aside. That's annoying.

I think I remember that level being the single hardest one in the game by far. Maybe I'm wrong.
