  1. You guys got any tricks for powering through games you feel are just meh? I am wrestling with two of them right now.
  2. Abandoning my first game of the year. I managed to snag a copy of Rune Factory 3 Special for the Switch at Wal-Mart for $10. I was excited about the deal. I had never heard of the game but for $10 why not. I might come back to this game again in the future, but I am not feeling this game at all right now. Unless I am missing something it is a dating/farming simulator. I am going to move onto something else for now.
  3. Mega Man 7 is finished! This is my second favorite Mega Man game out of the series so far. I’ve played 1-7. I loved so much about this game, but that last boss fight with Wily. Wow. If you have never seen the ending to this I would suggest it.
  4. I’ve got this game as well. Carryover from backlog 2023 if I am not mistaken. I am not a fan of horror movies though. I’m curious how that’ll affect my thoughts on it. Fingers crossed it doesn’t have a bunch of jump scares.
  5. And finished LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game with the kids. Kids had a good time. I enjoyed watching them play and jumping in. It reminded me of when I used to have friends over and we’d have to share the controller. The difficulty was about right and the hints helped out when the kids got stuck. I enjoyed the little quips that were geared towards older people too. Destroying the city as a giant kaiju after the rather lengthy credits was a nice little treat.
  6. Working my way through the Rare Replay library. Feel I have sufficiently played Lunar Jetman enough to mark it off the list and I do not like it at all. Loaded up Atic Atac and with trusty map in hand managed to grab all pieces of the key and escape the castle. For a game made in 1983 this game was more forgiving than I expected. You get a decent health bar, 3 lives, start in the room you die in, and a surprising amount of food to restore your health. Inventory is limited to 3 items though, and you’ll need all those slots to escape. If I didn’t have a guide I would have become hopelessly lost in this game. I did like it though. I found the sound effects for the footsteps amusing and liked the effect when you fall through a hole in the floor. Also for a game made in ‘83 the rooms have a surprising amount of detail. @the_wizard_666 The description of the game gives genres to the game. For Jetpac it was “arcade, shooting” First time I saw that I translated it to an arcade machine in my mind for some reason.
  7. Now every time a game on Rare Replay says arcade I am going to question it. My minimal computer game knowledge is limited to the C64 and Apple IIe. Oregon Trail, Number Munchers, and Lemonade Stand for the win.
  8. Thanks for the info! Was it released in the UK arcade? The thrust kept getting me. Sometimes I’d take off like a rocket, heh. Other times not so much.
  9. I wasn’t sure how to count this but I thought it’s a game on a compilation disc that I own. So, in the end, I decided I would count it. With that being said I completed (played until I felt sufficient)JetPac a couple of nights ago. Jumped back in and played long enough for the picture. It is on Rare Replay for XBox One. It was originally released in the arcade in 1983. This was the first time I had heard of it. As per the times the goal was high score. If I would have seen it in the arcade I’d have put a couple of quarters in.
  10. Finished Like A Dragon: Ishin tonight. The game takes forever to open up. I almost put it down because of that and a couple of bugs that almost stopped me dead in my tracks. Glad I didn’t though. I ended up enjoying the game and the story. Fun times. Going for something a little lighter next.
  11. One of the things about the backlog challenge I like is seeing all the different games people are playing. A downside is I’m usually learning about games or remembering games I had forgotten, which does not help my backlog at all.
  12. I’ve not heard of these. I really like the aesthetic and will have to give them a try at some point.
  13. Played through Dragon Spirit: The New Legend on NES. If you like transforming dragons and shmups this game is for you. I got this game for Christmas so it didn’t stay on the backlog for long. I really enjoyed this. Also like how it tests your skills in the epilogue. If you don’t make it through it puts you on easy mode. It’s still hard. This is the NES we’re talking about here, but not as hard. The dragon cutscene at the beginning is pretty epic. I’m going to play through this again! Side note: If you’ve ever played Brigandine: Legend of Forsena doesn’t that look like an 8 bit Cador? (2nd pic) Side side note: really productive day for me on the backlog.
  14. Knocked out an easy game with my daughter this afternoon. Mario Party Superstars. This is my daughter’s favorite game by a mile. If you let her pick a game she’s picking Mario Party 9/10 times. Favorite stage Peach’s birthday cake. I think the game is alright, but it’s great watching my kids enjoy playing as much as I do.
  15. What made you decide to push through instead of just stopping?
