Re: [retro] Currently playing
Ooo i neglected retro thread :D
Well i'm currently playing two retro remakes, so i'll link them again here to see if I can start the ball rolling a bit
N.O.M.A.D http://www.tcksoft.co.uk/news.php a remake for the speccy game of the same name as made by tck here on the board :)
and typhoon 2001 http://typhoon.kuto.de/ a tempest / tempest 2000 remake which dirty girl recommended and linked to in a thread in the puzzle section
Both games are excellent and should be experienced for those unfamiliar with the originals, and are worth checking out by those already fans :)
Re: [retro] Currently playing
I often play
Chuckie Egg
And just recently resurected Super Aleste for the SNES.
Also to add, if people consider the DC a retro console, I have just been leant one and making my way through the Sonic games.
Cheers....Q

Yes, Typhoon2001 is tops... excellent and free (PC download link above). I love it to bits.
Geowars (xbox 360 and PC) is also very good, but bloody hard! Link to Google Vid...

Re: [retro] Currently playing
I recently completed The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past.
Cracking game for the snes....I've never managed to get on with the more recent 3D incarnations...
Re: [retro] Currently playing
Ive been playing shinobi, combat school, samurai shodown 4 a bit. Im really bored with the new games on next gen consoles.
Re: [retro] Currently playing
megadrive...............streets of rage 2
toejam and earl
all the fun i need for a few hours of relaxing gameplay and both games are good on your own and both are fantastic in 2 player mode.

Re: [retro] Currently playing
Now playing.... Magic Pockets on the Amiga :)) Superb game, really class.
Re: [retro] Currently playing
I am back on Penguin Land on the MS (emu on PC) went back to it last night, not sure if i will have this going until completion like i did before. Tempted to dig out Klax for the MD as well
Also had a spell of Chips Challenge (PC version) but always get fed up with that as it si too much of a repeat and i can never get passed a certain maze type level.
Cheers.....Q
Re: [retro] Currently playing
I just finished the New Zealand Story on the DS...great game.
Oh, and another vote for Magic Pockets here too :)
Re: [retro] Currently playing
I'm mostly playing small online games at the moment as the missus won't allow me to fire up the 360.
Right now it's Hunger Strike, which is similar to Tower Defense: http://www.bigdaddyboxmeal.co.uk. Won't make me want to eat the thing, though. I almost have bad dreams about beans after playing it.

I'm with you 100% here- well- I just finished phantom hourglass on the ds, but, my all time fave is the black and white gameboy one, "Link’s Awakening" I LOVED it SO much- been meaning to re- play it for ages.
Re: [retro] Currently playing
I have the Saturn emulator (SFF), and I'm playing Shining Force III. I have all 3 books (2nd translated as well) but I'm still playing the first book/cd :)

There's a great speed run of Super Ghouls N Ghosts at the Speed Demos Archive which is a great site for retro nuts :great:
