I just hit 10 hours in Earthbound on my Anbernic RG280V. I'm looking forward to trying some more SNES games once I'm finished (Super Mario World, Street Fighter Turbo II, Zelda: Link to the Past, etc.).

Interested to hear what you all are playing? Or, what retro games are on your "to do" list?

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It's fairly forgiving but I still haven't beaten it!

I was playing super star wars. But the lava kept killing me

Yeah, that part is stupidly hard.

I've been playing through a few castlevania games. I've currently completed super castlevania, rondo of blood and am almost finished with SOTN. All amazing games. Rondo's soundtrack is so good!

Are there any others I should try? I was thinking of trying to play through the NES trilogy but not sure.

Would X3TC count as retro? It's from like 2005. I tried playing X4 because fans said it was like X3 but better... But it's not. It's so much more convoluted in all the wrong ways. The menus are trash. The RNG sucks. The AI economy is even worse. X3 is still a way better game.

Finished playing Summon Night Swordcraft Story GBA, playing Ghost Trick Phantom Detective NDS, and started yet again Final Fantasy IV this time on the GBA, all emulated in my Android phone thanks to Lemuroid.

Also started playing Resident Evil 3 PSX on my Android tablet (also Lemuroid).

Played through the entirety of FFT:WotL via PPSSPP on my tablet. Great game, first full playthrough since the 90s.

I was playing Donkey Kong for Gameboy, but save got corrupted when I was near the final level. Then I was playing Pokemon Pinball for Gameboy Color, and Pokemon: Fire Red and Warioware Inc. for Gameboy Advance.

World of Warcraft: Retail.

Picked up a Wii recently for Gamecube and Wii games I missed out on, just started Paper Mario TTYD.

In my Steam backlog:

KOTOR II
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire
Deus Ex
System Shock 2
Devil May Cry Collection
Styx series
Resident Evil 1-4
Okami
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
Star Wars Pod Racer (just for kicks)

None of them are super retro, but you can definitely tell when I was a kid. These are either games I enjoyed or games I wanted as a kid but never got.

Also need to play through a few Gamecube games for the same reason. Viewtiful Joe is first on the list

Re-playing Shadows of the Empire on 64 right now. Always loved it as a kid, reading reviews as an adult and I'm shocked to find out it was never highly regarded outside of the opening Hoth level. It felt like a real gamer's game, hardcore difficulty growing up. The ship levels were so good.
