Brave Fencer Musashi on PlayStation is really starting to drive me crazy. It's becoming so exceptionally frustrating to replay everything from the last save point just to get to the final form of the final boss and to also have to redo the second to last form each time I die on the last. If I was just having a hard time, that would be one thing, but I still can't figure out how to do ANY damage to that last form. I feel like a complete idiot that I can't figure this out; it can't be THAT complicated. It's like Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge all over again, except in that game it was kinda fun to replay the stages (until I got so good at them that they got boring), and it didn't feel all that time-consuming. Mostly this is driving me nuts because I only have a couple days of free time left in my vacation, and I'd rather not have to pack the game cross-country just to beat the final boss and put it away (I already have plenty of other games I will be taking me with anyway). I know I could look it up, but I'm already adamant about not using outside help (besides on the secret action figures). I feel like practically every game I play these days I use at least some outside help on, so I really wanted to have a game I could say I beat completely on my own (besides straightforward platformers and such). I've been stuck in Musashi a lot, but so far I've always gotten myself out of it on my own, with the exception of one tiny part where I had forgotten about a technique that I had already known about. My boyfriend helped me remember it, and even though I kinda wish he hadn't, I wasn't clear that I didn't want help and it wasn't a big thing anyway. So, yeah, this is a tricky situation.

Other than Musashi, I tried out some new purchases I made on my Game Boy Advance SP. I played Mortal Kombat & Mortal Kombat II for Game Boy, Paperboy for Game Boy Color, Pac-Man Collection for GBA, and Atari Anniversary Advance for GBA as well. I could kinda do without the first two, but I had a lot of fun with the two GBA carts.

I beat my nephew at NBA Street 3, after he had beaten me at NBA Street a couple of weeks earlier.

Last night Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. Then dismorning I played Metal Slug: Anthology, Sonic Mega Collection Plus, Jungle Book and a real quick game of Ms. Pacman.

[bangtango]

The past few days, visitors to the bangtango residence would have viewed the following games "in action."

-Zelda II (NES): can't get enough of this one, my favorite Zelda!
-Solitaire (Tiger Game.Com): very addictive!
-Lights Out (Tiger Game.Com): meh
-Club Drive (Atari Jaguar): I like running into the cat in the house!
-Supercross 3D (Atari Jaguar): really shitty framerate but otherwise it is decent
-Bill Walsh College Football (Sega Genesis): my very first time playing this, played it in memory of Bill Walsh (R.I.P.), not too bad
-Tommy Lasorda Baseball (Sega Genesis): haven't played this in forever, tough to score runs in this one!

[Tommy]

Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo for PSone and Blazing Star for Neo Geo. Great Games at great prices :)

[Nintendork]

Today I am about to start going through a bunch of old, forgotten games. First on the list?

Boxxle for the Game Boy, although I'll be playing it on the GBA Player for Gamecube.

[namzep]

I'm currently playing Disgaea (PS2) and some Diablo II (PC). Just got in GH Encore: 80s Edition (PS2) and will have to play that (probably tonight).

[cyberfluxor]

Some retro goodies:
Atari 5200:
Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Missile Command, Choplifter, River Raid and Centipede.
For control usage:
Missile Command and Centipede are pure gold with the Trak-ball controller.
Pac-Man best handles with a loose stick.
Choplifter, Space Invaders & River Raid have been excellent with the Wico locking controller.

PS2:
Guitar Hero 2 and Alien Hominid.
I hooked my PS2 up downstairs because the 5200 needed a spot infront of the TV in my room. It's all working out quite well and Alien Hominid is hard as all hell but fun! I am a few songs into medium for GH2 after completing all songs on easy with 5 stars.

NDS:
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.
Slowly I've been cranking away on hard difficulty.

[exit]

I've recently been playing Rygar (PS2) and Persona 3.

Rygar has gotten extremely annoying, so I don't know if I'll continue onward, but Persona 3 is nothing short from amazing.

I've also been playing Portrait of Ruin on the DS.

[Stone_Protector_101]

PS2- Dark Cloud 2
SNES- Stone Protector (yes its a great game)
DS- FF III

My nephew and his fiance Martha (who are marrying in October) came by this afternoon and brought pizza. After eating, we all played 18 holes of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour on my GameCube. I won, playing as Mario. Derek played as a Koopa while Martha played as Diddy. It was Martha's first time playing this game so she was at a disadvantage...she did play well the last half or so of the course but was too far back by then to catch up.

[bangtango]

Tonight............

-NCAA Gamebreaker 2001 (PS2): enjoyed this one

OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast - PS2
Surprisingly my flatmate told me this game has rubbish graphics. Its always struck me as having fantastic graphics and i was impressed the PS2 was achieving them. He said he thought the point was that it looked like a fun game so was meant to have shit graphics. Oh well. Anyway, i did some heart attack and another flagman challenge, possibly discovering a new favourite car...

[RegSNES]

Virtua Fighter 4: Evoultion. I started Quest mode using Pai back in the summer of 2003 and this is a game I still come back to from time to time. I've got over 300 wins and 14 loses and I've obtained a Gladiator rank.

Lumines Plus. Beat my previous high score in Challenge mode and unlocked a new skin.

[bangtango]

Since I last posted, I've played:

-Pirates (NES)
-Venture (Atari 2600)
-Haunted House (2600)
-Pole Position (2600)
-Pitfall (2600, but only to test the cart)
-Blowout (Gamecube)
-Def Jam Vendetta (Gamecube)

I traded a Zelda: Minish Cap cart (GBA) for the last two games on my list, which I needed to replace for various reasons. It was good to get them back in my collection.

PS2 Justice League Heroes - just finished the game on the medium difficulty setting. IMHO, not as good as X-Men Legends, but that is probably because I think X-Men > Justice League. :)

This afternoon I played Oddworld: munchs oddysee for xbox. (Only 5 levels until I'm finished), and I played Chu Chu Rocket (which I picked up yeseterday at the too many games convention) for the DC.

[Little Samson]

Nice! I remember my first time playing through Ocarina of Time... ah, the memories. I'm actually playing through it right now too... trying to remember where all those heart containers are without cheating :P

More Bust-A-Move DS on my DS.

[bangtango]

In the past 3-4 days, I have hit the following:

-Space Ace (CD-i): Were all versions of the game this difficult and insanely fast?

-Grolier's Interactive Encyclopedia (CD-i): I know it is not a game really.......

-NCAA March Madness 2002 (Playstation 2): First time playing this and I tried a few different difficulty levels. All changing the difficulty level does is make the ref call more fouls and your players miss more shots (shooting percentage drops off). Otherwise, you can easily shut down most computer opponents and pass through a swiss cheese defense on your way into the hoop, not much AI here at all.

-MVP Baseball 2003 (XBox): Today's game was a back-and-forth affair, I was the Pirates and they (the computer) were the Reds. I won by one run, 5-4.

-Vic Avenger (Commodore Vic-20): By far the hardest version of Space Invaders I ever played, holy shit........

[Tron 2.0]

Wii/GC
Metroid Prime 2:About half way done it all most there.

More Bust-A-Move DS on my DS today.

[InsaneDavid]

Pole Position and Championship Sprint on the MAME conversion.

[Ed Oscuro]

Recently I finished Thief Gold (on Normal, i.e. easy), which was great fun, even if they dragged out the blasted talisman hunt for much longer than need be. The cool maps (and new ones in Gold, which is the only version of Thief I've had) made up for it. Had this one since its retail release but never got farther than perhaps 1/3 of the way into the game.

I tried out The Duel, Dalton-era James Bond sidescroller game. The game had always had a bit of mystique to me; from screenshots I saw way back when it was clear the game was colorful and there would be lots of action. The music and front end make a great impression (horrible garish portrait of Dalton aside). As much as I wanted to like this game, however, the terrible twitchy gameplay and nonsensical control scheme (you can fire in seven directions, but to fire down you need to fire straight out first, what garbage) only serve to make the game's labyrinthine areas a pain to play through on your search for items. Definitely a member of the group of bad collect-a-thons.

Today I played a lot of Raiden Fighters Jet. MUST COLLECT MORE MEDALS. It's great fun when you get over the hump and when bar medals start coming out...until then, watch out! My favorite ship is Raiden Mk. II - despite its slowness it has some serious firepower and makes obtaining simultaneous demolition bonuses easy.

I am working on getting stuff around for playing System Shock in XP (guide here: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69578 ). I will probably also dig out one of my Macs and try Monkey Island 2.

[RPG_Fanatic]

Started on Blue Dragon for the 360 today. It's not that bad.

[Barbarianoutkast85]

Well since I went to the Too Many Games, Expo in Reading last Sunday I've been in the mood to play Mega Mania for the 2600 so today I finally dragged my atari/atari games out of closet to play. So to answer the question more straight forward: Mega Mania, for the Atari 2600.

[Retsudo]

Well I finally picked up Socom:Combined Assault, but played it once since I got it. Other than that, Im playing nothing.

[otaku]

playing alot of saturn lately: Magic Knight Rayearth, Radiant Silvergun, sega rally and guardian heroes all great games

[Videogamerdaryll]

Busy day but I got some online COD3 in...

I kept getting into low amount of people games=1 against one in a huge map sucks....
Eventually I got in a few huge people games-capture the flag.
One I became the host of after a long time of play and two dicks came into the game and were fooling around running people over with two jeeps..They could care less about being punished to..
I got so aggravated that I quit the game,I'm not sure since I quit it if it ended for everyone else.

Poked around until I finally got into a two on two game whereas the guy on my team was new..I took him around and explained things via the mic.
Then the game just exploded with a ton of people joining in...Two kids were arguing back and forth so bad,they were both on my team and they kept killing each other often killing other people and myself..I even killed someone by mistake on myown team trying to avoid these two..
Name calling over and over .one guy was from NY the other Ohio....Eventually the younger sounding one left.
Then a woman with a heavy accent from Australia came into the game and the one guy who stayed was saying all kinds of stupid crap to her..

Through it all I was laughing my ass off..

[starchildskiss78]

Went for some Dreamcast loving today (only 8 days until the Dreamcast's 8th birthday!) and played Ecco The Dolphin: Defender Of The Future and Phantasy Star Online V2. I couldn't figure out the purpose of Ecco (though I must admit it's a beautiful game) and PSO froze on me after finishing the cave level...should have saved!

[j_factor]

Speaking of Dreamcast loving, today I played some Mr. Driller and Bangai-O.

[bangtango]

Some more of my recent gaming:

-Metal Head (Sega 32X): got further tonight than I ever had but got stuck on Mission/Stage 5 where I had to destroy that mech part being transported on a truck

-MVP Baseball 2005 (XBox): won the first game of my new season

-Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA): I just acquired it today

-Pirates (NES): when I retired prematurely just to check my score, I was already up to 73 out of 100 after today's playing and of course I chose to "unretire"

[RASTAN]

Just got done playing the following for the last few hours...

Elevator Action II (Taito Legends 2)
Metal Slug 3 (MS Anthology)
Dynamite Duke (Mega Drive)
Kujaku Oh 2 (Mega Drive)
:rockets:

[RegSNES]

Wild Arms Alter Code: F. Just finished up Rudy's mission. Pretty sweet remake. Though I miss not being able to hear the tune that plays when the banish Rudy from Surf Village.

[Barbarianoutkast85]

I played Shenmue 2 yesterday for the xbox. Today I played Aladdin, Shove It, Escape from Mars starring Taz for the Genesis.

[namzep]

Planet Puzzle League (DS). Damn addictive game.

[bangtango]

Yeah, I know I only posted two days ago. But I've been gaming a lot more regularly the past couple of months.


-Metal Head (Sega 32X): Played this some more and tried to get past Level 5-1 another time. Those attempts were in vain, I breezed all the way up to that stage and burned up all five continues there. Game over.

-Ecco the Dolphin (Sega CD): Made it further than I ever had before but got stuck in this one, too.

-NBA Live 98 (Sega Saturn): First time I ever sat down and played it. A sucky version of NBA Live. Headed into the box for another one of my lot sales here in Buy/Sell.

-Daytona USA (Sega Saturn): People like to complain about it being a poor port and failing to measure up to Ridge Racer. Whatever. Probably my favorite game on the Saturn, I've already dominated the high score table.

-Madden 2004 (XBox): Preseason is underway and I rolled the opposition 56-14.

-Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green (XBox): Still playing through this after a few months in, though before today I had not touched it in 2 months. There is way more ammo stashed in this game than I will ever need. Wish the Resident Evil games were this generous with spare bullets all over the place.

[sonoranreptile]

I am currently in the middle of:
Silver (DC)
Alisia Dragoon (Gen)
Tony Hawk 4 (PS2) for the 100th or so time....

[otaku]

finally got my hands on guitar hero 2 for 360 and have just about finished easy mode with mostly excellent scores I'm better than some friends but know two people who are godly experts whereas so far I can't beat anything on medium. Great game though and I love the guitar!

[Shrooin]

I've gotten Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon on PSP so I'm playing that regularly. If any HM fans are thinking of getting it I would advise against it you're better of getting Boy and Girl instead as BTN is way better. Also on console I've been playing mega drive and master system games lately. Finished Road Rash II yesterday that is my second SMD game I finished the other one is quackshot. SMS games include Wonderboy and Ghost House.

[Pezcore343]

I just picked up Heart of Darkness and Sonic 3D Blast, and I'm also playing Spyro the Dragon.

Lots of Point Blank 2 on the PlayStation, I've forgotten how much I love this series. :) Also played some Sega Bass Fishing (Dreamcast) and my girlfriend has been playing the Genesis 6-in-1 plug and play. And, as usual, about half an hour playing Pole Position on the MAME conversion. lol Oh, some pictures were requested earlier but I don't have any ready to go yet of the finished cabinet. I'm working on a page at my site about it, kinda like the pachinko machine one. But currently I have some (bad) video up on youtube of the finished cab...
