Re: Together Retro March '21 - One Hit(?) Wonders

There are these tomato platforms that fall as soon as you land on them and it feels like half the time I jump on them, when I try to jump off Upa just does a pathetic micro-hop and I die. I get passed one group and then I run into more and soon enough I'm restarting the world! I hate it! Are you ac...

Re: Together Retro March '21 - One Hit(?) Wonders

I'm planning on playing Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa put out by Konami, originally for Famicom Disk System! I was planning to play Somer Assault, buuut I haven't played this, and I thought it would be fun to play it alongside someone else. So play it, I did! I did two playthroughs: my first on the FDS v...

Re: Together Retro February ‘21 - Mickey & Donald in 8- & 16

Today, I played and finished QuackShot! ...When I was a kid, the name always made me think this was some kind of light gun or gallery shooter. It was okay. I started the game off with two misinterpretations that painted my expectations: first, rather than getting that the world map was a level selec...

Re: Games Beaten 2021

You can add the Blacksad game and the upcoming Brok the Investigator to that list of modern animal detective games!

...Now I'm wondering why that combination is so popular.

Re: Together Retro January 2021 - 2011 games!

Mass Effect 2 is a bit of cheat here, no? Came out 2010 on 360. If you ask me , it should just be games that got their first release in any region and any platform in 2011. So if something got released in 2011 and then translated/ported in 2012, it's a 2011 game even if you play the 2012 translatio...

Re: What is your 2020 Game of the Year (*Released* in 2020)?

Panzer Paladin: one of the best indies Ive played in a long time, great mix of lots of amazing retro games, so good I bought it at release and am preordering the physical version this week when it opens up, definitely a contender I actually played that game a week or so ago and didn't like it at al...

Re: Games That Have Snow In Them ?

Pokémon Vega ( English ) ( Japanese ) is a FireRed ROM hack that's covered entirely in snow. While being a GBA hack limits its ability to create a cozy winter atmosphere, it does an adequate job here and there, and the music helps a lot. Porcelia Town and especially Lapizula City are standouts. http...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts

I don't mean to hate on people but I really feel like people who buy games on day 1 are brats. I have seen people get the game even before the official release date. Whats the hurry for? Its just a game and there is a sea of great games out there. People who buy games day 1 are usually just in it f...

Re: What is your 2020 Game of the Year (*Released* in 2020)?

I raaaarely play games the year they come out. I think the only high-profile game I played in 2020 that actually released in 2020 was One Step from Eden, which I liked. I've always thought the RPG parts of the Battle Network games completely botched them, so having a game that's solely battles let t...

Re: Together Retro 2021 planning thread

Oh, all right. Thank you for the information, Ack and marurun! I didn't know you gave so many options at once. Sounds fun to come up with. I figured they were somehow cobbled together from a group planning session.

Give me a later month in 2021 so I can first see how it works.
