    I just spent the summer playing all of the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Castlevania games. The series had its ups and downs, but the games are still fun. I think the DS titles still hold up very well.

      Have you heard of agent 64: spies never die? I’m curious if anyone around here has played it and what their impressions are.

      The newest console I have is a ps3. I had been playing Final Fantasy 13 recently.

      I’m thinking of getting a ps4 though maybe for cyberpunk or no man’s sky?

    Indie devs are fucking killing it, though. A lot of bangers have been coming out.

    I’m currently obsessed with How Many Dudes? That game is so much fun.

    All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.

    Ain’t no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that’s the nostalgia talking…

        I remembered my family having the ps1 version, but my brother said I was wrong because we apparently had the n64 version.

        Either way, was definitely a defining game of my early childhood. Such a fun game. I was lucky enough to find it at a game store where I live. It was for some reason tucked away with the ps1 games and somehow just barely under $20USD before tax! A steal, if you ask me.

      What about playing them on the original consoles? I’ve got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven’t tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.

        Original console, in most cases, is probably gonna be the better option IMO. But due to the rising cost of everything, games/consoles included, emulation is better from a purely price saving standpoint. I am lucky enough to have so many consoles, but I still emulate or use console softmods because I can’t afford every game I want.

          I also love how emulators make 40 year old games much more playable with features like state save.

      Fallout New Vegas

      You had me worried. Surely Fallout New Vegas isn’t a 20 year old game? But no, it only came out 16 years ago. Crisis averted.

    I’m still playing Rimworld

    Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the “Game of the Year Platinum Super” edition to go on sale. It works every time!

      Same. Got the base Cyberpunk 2077 game for $18. And then got the dlc for $18. Best $36 I’ve spent on a game in a long time.

    Even if it’s just 10-15, Zomboid, Oxygen Not Included, Factorio, Isaac, and Risk of Rain, are thousands of possible fun hours, even without rotation
