I can do a bit better in the Colosseum in Jeanne d'Arc on PSP now, but I got creamed in the 8th or 9th battle and decided to go back to grinding some more. No big problem, the battles are fun and go by pretty quick, and most stages have brand new rewards in the post-game. I now have Jeanne on level 86, I believe, and everybody else is roughly around level 70. I can tackle most of the battlefields with ease, but some of the ones with high level dragons are still a pain.

I also played a little 2-player Dungeon Explorer on Sega CD. It was my first time playing the game, and needless to say, I was getting my ass kicked left and right, haha.

My 12 year old son and I have been having a ball playing Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman for the NES.

Good thing we kept the old CRT-style TV. The zapper doesn't work with flat screen LCD TVs!

Also been playing Braid and Magic 2013.

My offline gaming includes Descent with my two fellow adventures and overlord.

I gave Wonder Project J for Super Famicom a very quick replay, starting yesterday and finishing today. Even though I've played through it multiple times before, one thing that was new and interesting is that I played it with the fan translation via emulation. I barely touch emulation to begin with, and this is the very first time I have ever played through a game with a fan translation. It seems like a fairly straightforward, clean, natural translation and the fonts look nice too, so I can't complain at all. It was fun to play it in English for once, although I don't think I learned much of anything I didn't already know about the story. I'm sure I'll go back to playing the cart in the future, but it was a good experience all in all. I really should try the fan translation for the sequel someday too.

Castlevania Symphony of The Night. Man, the upside down castle is so tough, I tried a few months back trying to level up in the lower castle but it took too long, I can level easy in one area of the upside down castle, but ill end up getting killed eventually. You really have to stay as the bat in a lot of areas, but then you run into a boss by accident and I get killed. :/ Awesome game though.

I mean, everyone who has heard of the game knows that its amazing, and I really wish I had this when it originally came out. This is probaboly the hardest game Ive played that Ive gotten far in without cheats. I dont consider RPG's to be hard since you can just level up and go through stuff like a god, but leveling up in this game is pretty slow and I have to watch out dying. I had to keep back tracking from the normal library like 5 times.....and Im really scared of the second library haha. I need to learn more of the spells real bad.

Man thats a cool set up. One day I hope to make a MAME arcade cabinet with all the games Id love to play.


And after the Samurai Shodown is ok for 10 year olds thread, Im playing Shodown right now for the PS1. In Japan they released the first two games on one disk.

[The 1 2 P]

Yesterday I played Wreaketeer and Halo 4. I tried to get my girlfriend to play Wreaketeer with me but she just stared at me blindly. But she atleast joined me for some co-op Halo 4 fun.

If you want a tough Castlevania game Id say get the third one with Trevor Belmont and Alucard. And also check out the SNES ones, or the actual Rondo of Blood.

I'm playing Sonic Adventure 2, Nights: Into Dreams and Jet Set Radio. I got them all at the same time because the psn shop had them on sale. The system may be new, but the games are classic.

I didn't say I wanted a tougher one. Just that having continues is dumb in any game.

Definitely going back to play III (I thought the first one was widely considered harder?). I just wanted a taste of the 16-bit ones.

Well I havent gotten all the way through both of them, so Im not sure, but III has a ton of stairs which makes you get hit a lot and you kinda need to use the right companion to get through some sticky situations better. The controls are very limited and rigid, the total opposite of Mario, but eventually they finally made games later that had much more graceful controls.....


Yesterday I beat Symphony of the Night, that game is amazing and totally surpassed my expectations. Played as afterward Richter which was its merits but I prefer Alucard and the RPG elements of playing as him. The game really isnt for exploring purposes with Richter so when I got through most of the normal castle I did a speedrun in the inverted one. I guess making an entirely new game for Richtor would be too much for one cd. Now Im playing it again with the AXEARMOR password, it makes grinding funny looking, what I dont get though is how Alucard can run faster than he normally can in the armor but cant jump more than a step.

Halo 4 of course but mainly for the remaining achievements. I'm also going to dive into some free Kinect games for the same reason.

[SpaceHarrier]

Tobal 2 (jp playstation)

Amazing graphics, really great character movement and control, nice music. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. The computer is constantly grappling me, to which my only response is to button mash frantically. I can't figure out how to grapple, so off to gamefaqs, I guess. I want to explore more of that Quest Mode, anyway.

Very sad we never got this one here, such a high quality production.
