The NES-PS1 era games I play on switch or emulators. They are much easier to play with save states and whatnot. The newer stuff I play on whatever console they are on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I play mine on Everdrives as well as the PSIO...either way is a LOT cheaper than what some of the original games go for, not to mention with PS1 games you kinda have to get them CIB and be very sure the disc isn't all scratched/'printed. I've seen what some of these go for and in the famous words of Fred Flintstone, DO THEY THINK I'M MADE OF MONEY!?!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 When I was a kid it was RPGs. JRPGs, open world RPGs, etc. but nowadays I don’t have the time or mental energy after work. I still enjoy them, but I don’t play them as much as I used to. Right now I’d say it’s 2D sidescrolling/action games like Shinobi 3, pre-SotN Castlevania, etc. but tile-matching puzzle games are creeping up big time. When the pandemic hit and I was stuck inside I was playing Animal Crossing and Tetris 99 and I got super into Tetris. Then I tried the arcade port of Puyo Puyo Tsu on Switch and fell in love with the competitive nature of it. Now I’m a huge fan of Puyo, Puzzle League, and of course Tetris. Wario’s Woods is another favorite of mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I play and enjoy a huge variety of games (just check the backlog thread for proof), but if I had to pick one, I'd probably go with 2D action platformers. I tend to lump all these types of games together, although you can definitely make a case for "pure platformers" as a separate genre. For the sake of this thread, I'd include platforming focused games like SMB3, Super Meat Boy, DKC: TF, and Celeste as well the more action oriented titles like SotN, Ori, Cuphead, and Spelunky. These types of games make up the majority of my top 25 and probably top 10. Edited August 15, 2021 by DoctorEncore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,790 Administrator · Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 If we're talking hours logged, easily RPG/MMO. I play a lot of single player RPGs and I love them, but I've dumped over 10,000 hours just between Runescape and Final Fantasy XIV alone. And that's ignoring WoW and MapleStory which I've put similar hours into, but prefer not to talk about lest they pull me back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaryD | 237 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I am a huge RPG player but as I have gotten older I have branched out to play a variety of games that I didn’t play as a kid such as Mega Man series, Castlevania series, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW1 and FF1 on NES) because I stupidly wasn't so sure about the whole turn based combat thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,560 Graphics Team · Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 My #1 game genre is easily auto-scrolling shooters. Not military-themed shooters - for whatever reason I'm not keen on those. But sign me up if it has lasers and spaceships. Or even better, lasers and MECHS! -CasualCart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikezone1 | 154 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I like a lot of genres, but 2D platformers are my #1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,370 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 My current favourite genre is the “10-minute gaming sessions that satisfies”. The main games I’m playing are Defense Grid and Geometry Wars 2. I currently don’t have the time nor energy to plow through hours of gaming which requires sigificant focus for level progression. Prior to this, my favorite genres were platformers and arcade fighting/shooting games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noiseredux | 232 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 turn based strategy stuff hooks me the deepest. Fire Emblem, XCOM, Advance Wars... all that stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you played Master of Monsters (Genesis), Brigandine (PS1), Dark Wizard (Sega CD) and Nectaris (PS1)? Battle Worlds Kronos (Switch) is extremely deep and very engaging. One of the few console strategy games where the AI is not dumber than a box of rocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
