Didn't see a thread for this surisingly. What games are you currently playing?

Here's mine...

Zelda 1 2nd Quest - I beat the first quest numerous times but never got beyond dungeon 5 in the second quest. I'm just about done. I've explored about half of the final dungeon. It's pretty long so I made a save state and will finish it this week.

Suikoden 1 - I always heard good things about this series but have never played it. I just started it last night and am still working through the intro scenes. I'm fond of SNES / PS1 era RPG's and it's supposed to be fairly short for a JRPG, so I expect good things.

Zelda TOoT - I've been replaying the original 64 version with my kid. She loves watching the Zelda games. I never beat the original, I wasn't a fan when it first came out and preferred the 2D games. I did beat the 3DS version. We just got to adult Link and are retrieving the hookshot and getting Epona before tackling the first temple.

Quake 2 - Replaying this on Switch. Just beat the first few levels. Still holds up great 30 years later. I was working my way through the Doom series....enjoyed 1 & 2 tons, 3 not so much, doom 2016 is so bland I quit after an hour. I played the first few episodes of the recent Heretic re-release but got burnt out by the underwater dome area. Switched to Quake 2 for my FPS and I'm enjoying myself a lot more. It feels a lot like doom 1 & 2 but in 3D. I love 90's FPS design compared to modern shooters.

Castlevania DS Collection - I beat DoS, which was always one of my favorites in the series, just a great metroidvania. I got to the false ending of PoR, then looked up how to get the true ending. I just beat the sisters and I'm struggling to beat the whips spirit, so I may just go level up in some of the last few levels and try again later. PoR I had mixed feelings of when it came out, but its pretty good overall. I never bought OoE when it came out on DS so I'm excited to try it out.

UFO 50 - Been really enjoying this collection of games so far. It got me back into 70's and 80's gaming like the Atari collection and NES titles I grew up on. I beat barbuta and loved it, then beat the snake game rip off. Now I'm working on the ninja side scroller and the metroid knock-off.

Might start up Crystalis once I finish Zelda 1. I beat the GBC version but never played the NES version, and it's supposed to be better....

Guru Logic Champ - one of my favourite games of all time, the puzzles are brilliant and the presentation is top notch (although Japanese only - for now). Embarrassingly I haven't cleared the whole game, am pretty close on my main save, but I also just bought a legit cartridge of the game for the first time and am enjoying playing through it all again on that.

Yoshi and the Mysterious Book - fun exploration/experimentation game, rather than the traditional platformer. Not too far in yet, but enjoying it whenever I do play. Yoshi is cute as ever, which is the most important thing.

Majora's Mask - started straight on this after finishing OoT for the first time, I like its unique take on the Zelda formula and the generally more spoopy vibe. Am slightly stuck again but have managed to figure it out so far, so not worried.
 
I just finished Arctic Eggs and honestly, it was such a fun and bizarre ride. Flipping eggs, cigarettes, and bullets in a frozen wasteland is definitely the weirdest concept for a game, but it totally works. The physics are satisfying once you get the hang of it, and the whole vibe is just great. Highly recommend it if you want to become a master chef in the Antarctic, and the OST is truly nice!

I beat the GBC version but never played the NES version, and it's supposed to be better....I’ve also noticed that my gaming interests have expanded beyond traditional console and PC games over time. These days I sometimes explore other forms of online gaming and entertainment too, including casino platforms. I like comparing different platforms, offers, and overall player experience before trying anything. Recently I came across https://najbolji-casino-hr.com/, and I found it interesting because they actually tested multiple online casinos by creating real accounts, depositing money, playing games, and checking payouts. I appreciate when reviews are based on real testing rather than just promotional content.

That’s a really solid list, especially if you’re into retro and classic games. I like how you’re mixing different genres instead of sticking to just one. Right now I’ve been playing Elden Ring on and off, plus going back to older favorites like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto V. I also still play Clash of Clans casually on mobile. Lately I’ve honestly been enjoying older games more too
 
A bunch of games that I can just quickly pick up and play for a short while.

Pizza tower: I beat the story a couple months ago and I picked it up again recently to try and get all the P ranks, I'm almost done with the second floor.

Super Meat Boy: I played it years ago but never beat it, I'm currently in the rapture world but still missing a few levels from hell.

Monster Hunter Wilds: talisman grinding and trying to improve my quest times.

Guru Logic Champ looks fun, I'll have to give it a try, visually it reminds me of the Kururin games.

I can already feel the misery of not having a mouse, and I got Quake 1 (from scummy Limited Run) too.

as someone that played through quake, duke nukem, turok, goldeneye etc. on an N64, using a dual shock 4 for quake 2 doesn't feel bad at all on regular difficulty. I've built up quite a collection of classic FPS on Switch. Quake 1 & 2, Doom 1-4, Heretic, Hexen, Strife, Duke 3D, Ion Fury, System Shock 1+2, etc.

I tend to have a JRPG, an FPS, and a Zelda style game going at all times. I've learned I have more fun bouncing between genres instesd of sticking to a single game until it's done.

I'm excited for elden ring and oblivion on switch 2. tried replaying skyrim recently but i think ive played it too many times. multiple runs on ps3, ps4, and pc....

Playing quite a few games at the moment. Doom 3, Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil Requiem. Also I just got Tom Clancy's The Division 2 on steam. The games pretty good for the amount of time that I spent with it. Also, working on some games for my Youtube Channel.

How are you feeling about Doom 3?

I replayed Doom 1, 2, 64 and 3 recently. Really enjoyed the first 3, but 3 was a bit of a grind for me. Started Doom 2016 but felt underwhelmed by it, just like I did the first time but even worse.

For me 2 was the highlight of the series. I haven't tried eternal or dark ages though.

Here's my lunch break setup:

I love Doom 3. It actually had a story unlike the newer Doom games where the story was lacking. I think that the newer Doom games played a lot like painkiller I'm not sure if you got the chance to play the painkiller games. The first one was awesome. I'm basically looking to play doom 3 with a bunch of other fps players. Also looking to beat doom 3 and its expansions without dieing. I'm really good at speedrunning, no deaths, and even no damage runs. It would be awesome if a bunch of people with me beat the game without losing a life. Games somewhat of a challenge but still pretty easy.
