Finished Hollow Knight, what a great time. Got the most basic ending but I’m fine with that, I can’t be bothered to make my 74% completion into 100%. Focusing on Pokemon Legends ZA now. I know ‘modern gamefreak bad’ but I’m really having fun so :grog:

Learned the name of I vaguely remember as a kid, and the fact that there's a free modern port of Star Control 2 called Free Stars: the ur-quan masters. Quite the classic game alright!

And finished Star Control Origins (sans entirety of DLC). Honestly its a nice homage to the older game(s), humor is campy, combat is definitely more palatable and easier going, and key elements of exploration under a reasonable time limit are all here. You have semi-quick travel and a couple other quirks that make early to even mid game much easier on resource gathering, and the resource gathering has a modern skin on it that honestly isn't too bad in all. I kinda did and didn't like planetary landings being in actual 3D compared to the rest of the game since they both added variety and took away from the overall consistency of being isometric kinda game.

Main story progresses very well and builds up to a climactic twist, but then it can all become over all too soon since by then you should have mastered the key most element of combat.

I'd absolutely check this one out for free, or on a deep sale and skip the DLC unless its practically free.

Recently I'm playing Advance Wars Returns. Some missions can be pretty annoying though.
Just finished first continent Orange Star. Blue Moon and Yellow Comet unlocked, cool AW2 hack.
Now I've got Collin, who starts with nothing.

Played Rayman Origins on my One X and it's a superb platformer! It's crazy Ubisoft never ported to newer consoles.

Should they do it now? No, I don't trust them and they can f* off for killing The Crew 1.

Completed Vendetta arcade on MAME with no deaths some close calls on the final boss rush at the end of the game. I'll take it seeing as though how I barely got hit much before the boss rush at the end. The last time I used jean claude van damme this time I use mike tyson. Apparently the developers went and added some famous celebs as playable characters. For example hulk hogan mike tyson etc.

I played Captain Blood on my PS4, it runs at 60fps which is nice, but the graphics look very dated and the gameplay is very repetitive and boring.



The game should've been released around 16 years ago.
 


Just completed MagMax for the NES without taking damage. Its a short NES game thats a port of the arcade game. Its not a very good game and is very boring. I thought that I would upload it to my YT channel because people love seeing retro games and it was a request my a good friend of mine. Anyhow enjoy more to come soon!
 
Finally got past Chapter 14 in Fire Emblem Binding Blade. Had enough so I loaded my save file from open AGB firm to Retroarch, cheesed the bullshit rolls with save states, and moved it back to OAF when I was done. Fuck that desert and fuck whoever made it 😭
 

After a few days worth of practice I was able to finally for the first time no damage DarkWing Duck for the NES. Its also a hidden gem as capcom made the game that plays just like megaman. You can switch your weapons and even choose which stages you want to go to first.
