most of those early games have been emulated for browser play


here's one

raspberry pi is one of the coolest DIY ways to emulate games.

I used to be into that do it yourself stuff and would be all over getting a Raspberry Pi and putting something together but these days I don't even really have a personal computer. I've got my work laptop, iPad and then my personal phone and that's all I use. The Switch is now the only working game system I have. I'm getting old and lazy. I'm not even going to try and give a valid reason for why I will probably never actually take the time to follow any of these admittedly great suggestions even though ten years ago I was constantly hacking my way around my Windows Mobile phones. I had three of them so I could constantly try different things, the background image when anybody called me was a picture of a wedding date's cleavage that she took while I was getting us more drinks. I'd also screw around with anything else I could get my hands on. Somewhere a few years back, I just kind of lost interest in putting out any kind of effort with that type of stuff. Never learned how to pirate movies even. I rooted my first couple of Android phones and then even gave up on that after awhile.

I really wish I could have gotten one of those Nintendo Classics earlier this year. That would have been just about perfect. Maybe the next time around I will or else they'll make the few games I want available for the Switch.

Speaking of retro gaming, I purchased the Mega Man collection on xbox for 6 dollars. I figured for that price it would be worth the trip down memory lane. I started playing MM 2 which is generally considered the best MM. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the game purely on its game play merits. I ended up beating the game and really enjoying it. Admittedly I used the emulator save system liberally which made the game easier and more bearable on the "cheaper" parts.

I plan on playing MM3 next, which is also considered a classic.

i almost bought that.

i bought MM9 a few years back (it came out in '08) but they made it real tough. can't remember how far i got into it but definitely didn't beat it.

cuphead is only game on my radar

The only thing I've seen about Cuphead was the Clueless Gamer... with Kate Upton. I'm sold!

The previews I've read say Cuphead is a super challenging game. That kinda killed my interest.

The only game ever on my radar is Tecmo Super Bowl, but I saw this one on slickdeals (with a bizarre 'only an illiterate monkey could have never heard of this game' pissing match forum thread) and thought it looked really cool. What platforms will it be on?

xbox and pc
