  1. Progress Report: I find I do best at making progress when I have many games on the go. If I go all in on one game, I find sometimes I get sick of it and abandon it. I do end up favouring one 90% of the time but breaking it up with something else is huge for keeping me invested. I've also learned that though I really like hard games, I also need some easy ones sprinkled in as a breather. Here's some first impressions for the games I'm currently playing: Tetris - I used to play NES Tetris very consistently, peaking at about a 500K PB. But I've taken a long break and am now a bit rusty. Was able to crack 250k again, just need to keep workin' my way back up to my PB. Then probably train on level 19 starts before going for the 750k. This goal will probably take the majority of the year, trying here and there to hit, if I even make it, but it's meant to just be a reason to pop this one in occasionally throughout the year. We'll see how close I get. Rockin Katz - This game is pretty chill, love the art-style and themes they have going on. The swinging mechanic is fun to mess around with but feels a little clunky at first. I've only played a couple levels of this so I wonder how big of a role the swinging will play in the rest of the game. Quickie World (Super Mario World Kaizo Hack) - Been interested in Kaizo Mario hacks for a while. This one is often cited as one of the easier ones so it felt like a good starting point into these games. I'm about 5 levels in and so far having a blast with it. Super Mario World is a pretty easy game but the mechanics are very nuanced and deep, so taking them to the extreme in a harder version of the game works really well IMO. This is the game taking up the majority of my time currently. Super Star Soldier - Been really wanting to get into Shooters more so I'm starting with this one on TG16. Beat the first couple levels, and so far its fun. I dig the powerup system, theres a few different weapons available, you can use one at a time, and by grabbing that colour of powerup it gets stronger, but you can always swap weapons by grabbing a different colour and it keeps the same level of power. Its fun playing with the different weapons and getting hit doesn't mean you're totally screwed like in Gradius for example.
  2. haha thanks Cart, I had Ninja Gaiden on my backlog either last year or the year prior I think. It was the first game I tried to tackle and it broke me. I ended up barely beating any games that year. I need the closure Blazing Lazers I haven't played a ton of, but I want to get more into shooters this year. Made a bit of progress in Super Star Soldier already, and its really fun! Edit, Also I added in some easy games to break it up. I like tough games but need a break in between
  3. I always end up way overshooting what I can accomplish for my backlog so I'll be keepin it light this time This should be plenty to keep me busy: NES Tetris - Goal: 750k - In Progress Rockin Katz - In Progress Ninja Gaiden Batman SNES Chrono Trigger Sky Blazer Tetris Attack SNES (hacks) Quickie World (Super Mario World Kaizo Hack) - In Progress Fly Me to the Stars (Super Mario World Kaizo Hack) Super Riff World (Super Mario World Kaizo Hack) TG16 Super Star Soldier - In Progress Blazing Lazers GBC Legend of the River King Survival Kids
  4. I know its a few months old, but I'm glad I read this! I'm 30 and our stories have a lot of similarities. I think my best years of gaming were around the Wii era as well, although I strayed a bit from Nintendo and played lots of Xbox 360 and PS3 too. I am currently picking up lots of PS3 games to revisit as they're super cheap, and playing the much older stuff via emulation. Anyway, belated welcome @Lynda Monica
  5. Xexyz is such a cool game, a liiiiittle bit jank but very cool nonetheless
  6. Ice Hockey and Blades of Steel are great NES Hockey Games Oh and the SSX games are pretty cheap too (unless you want them on gamecube), awesome snowboarding games. Prince of Persia series on Xbox/PS2 is pretty cheap as well
  7. Yup been digging into PS3 stuff lately. Found Uncharted 3 and all 3 Resistance games for $1 each the other day
  8. Love this idea for a thread. I’ll say for dirt cheap games, Sonic 2. I’m very out of touch with prices these days but that’s always going to be a 5 dollar game
  9. I say no. I personally like a good challenge but I don’t think people who don’t want the challenge should lose out on the experience. I think Undertale handles this well. The story wraps up nicely but there’s extra content for the more hardcore players afterwards
  10. Had no idea there was a Parodius on gameboy, cool
  11. This is a great point. While I also believe cigarettes is the right answer, I wonder what a Big Mac every hour or two would do to someone. I am an ex smoker, and I think the biggest killer with smoking is the frequency. You’re going for a smoke at least every hour if not more
  12. Frig I would’ve tossed my hat in this if I knew about it
