I just hit 10 hours in Earthbound on my Anbernic RG280V. I'm looking forward to trying some more SNES games once I'm finished (Super Mario World, Street Fighter Turbo II, Zelda: Link to the Past, etc.).

Interested to hear what you all are playing? Or, what retro games are on your "to do" list?

I'm playing Zelda Link's Awakening DX. There's a fan made patch that fixes annoying things like those text boxes popping up every time you pick up an acorn, or when you touch a rock without wearing the strength bracelet. And I was able to continue playing the same save file.

I really didn't think the game would be all that good but it's great. The whole island feels very alive and every screen has something special about it. I wouldn't mind the next generation of Zelda being a little bit like this.

On the remote chance you don't already know - definitely check out Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. They have the same engine but have much cleverer gameplay and dungeons and much deeper stories.

Would X3TC count as retro? It's from like 2005. I tried playing X4 because fans said it was like X3 but better... But it's not. It's so much more convoluted in all the wrong ways. The menus are trash. The RNG sucks. The AI economy is even worse. X3 is still a way better game.

I started Phantasy Star on my Odroid GO Ultra. Was looking for the game on my Master System but the pricing is a little over the top. Purely priced for "collectors" and not gamers.

I was playing super star wars. But the lava kept killing me

Yeah, that part is stupidly hard.

In my Steam backlog:

KOTOR II
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire
Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Devil May Cry Collection
Styx series
Resident Evil 1-4
Okami
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
Star Wars Pod Racer (just for kicks)

None of them are super retro, but you can definitely tell when I was a kid. These are either games I enjoyed or games I wanted as a kid but never got.

Also need to play through a few Gamecube games for the same reason. Viewtiful Joe is first on the list

Re-playing Shadows of the Empire on 64 right now. Always loved it as a kid, reading reviews as an adult and I'm shocked to find out it was never highly regarded outside of the opening Hoth level. It felt like a real gamer's game, hardcore difficulty growing up. The ship levels were so good.

Resident Evil on DC Parasite Eve on PSX

Picked up a Wii recently for Gamecube and Wii games I missed out on, just started Paper Mario TTYD.

I was playing Donkey Kong for Gameboy, but save got corrupted when I was near the final level. Then I was playing Pokemon Pinball for Gameboy Color, and Pokemon: Fire Red and Warioware Inc. for Gameboy Advance.
