Still grinding my way through Fire Emblem; it is a lot of fun, but so far much easier than expected.  Kinda wondering if I should start over on the harder difficulty setting....  The units are all very distinct, which I like.  Makes it easier for mere mortals such as myself to form coherent strategies.

Been having a hankering for some Mickey's Mousecapade...especially since I hear there may be a new one coming after almost a couple of decades.
Still my favourite Disney game, although clearly for nostalgic reasons as there are a lot of better ones.  There's something about those bizarre, seemingly story-free old platformers that I love.

I downloaded that from GOG a while back. Great game, and to make things even better it's a free download!

Yea, it's really killer so far.  It plays like Loom and feels like the original Fallout.  I've heard of ScummVM a while back and never really thought too much of it.  That was until I tried it.  Just amazing!  Access to a crapload of great oldschool point and click adventure games!!

Brilliant!

  I really miss old-school PnC adventures; of the few new ones I've tried none had the same feel.  But I still haven't played BtSS; maybe I need to download ScummVM myself.

Made it a good chunk of the way through Stage 7 (the bubble stage) in Parodius for the Super Famicom.  It's a personal best, but I'm hoping to beat it one of these days. :)

Picked up Duke Nukem at a yard sale today for $3. Figured it was worth a try. It's not the worst FPS I've played in recent history, but you can definitely tell they've been working on this game for 12 years. I got a real bad bout of motion sickness about an hour into it, so I had to turn it off. I'll probably try to play it a bit more soon.
If anyone gets any leads on a "fair priced" copy of Coryoon, please lemme know!

Where is fancy bred?

I went on a big Gradius kick today.  Played a ton of the PC Engine version of Gradius II and the SNES version of Gradius III.  In both games I made it farther than I have in the past. 

In Gradius II I made it to the boss spaceship that shoots out missiles then shoots out a big blue laser.  I wasn't expecting the laser so that killed me and it was pretty much game over after that. 

In Gradius III I finally beat the third level boss!  The fourth level boss was a cakewalk.  Then level five beat me down.  Then it pointed and laughed at me.

Spent all of Sunday afternoon raising chocobos in FF7.  Never in any of my playthroughs have I bothered to try and get a Gold Chocobo, this time through it'll be different!  Here's how far I got...

Meet Turbo and Grafx.... which hopefully when put together will make a black one I can name Turbo Duo


[Sun 23:29] <Tatsujin> we have hard off, book off, house off, sports off, baby off, clothes off, jerk off, piss off etc

Yesterday I popped in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the SNES and gave it some quality time.  I've started it up a few times in the past but it never really caught, but yesterday it really sucked me in.  I've collected the first pendant and am trying to figure out how to get the next one.  I just got the gloves that lets me pick up rocks so I figure that will let me find an opening to reach the next pendant.

Also played a couple PS1 games this morning: Raiden Project and Parappa the Rapper.  I haven't played either in ages and enjoyed both!

Oh, and I just beat Ys Book I for the trusty TG-16 (again)!  Now I'm going to have to divide my time between Ys Book II and A Link to the Past...

Playing Ys books I&II, No More Heroes PS3, and just starting in on Demon's Souls, kinda infuriating...

Tackling Lego Battles on the DS right now for some portable gaming. For consoles I'm still making my way through Sega Genesis games for my challenge videos and trying to finally hit level 70 in CoD: MW2 before MW3 comes out. I just got Brink in the mail earlier this week and have gotten a couple of levels under my belt so far.

Beat Sonic Pocket adventure in two days, a little to easy with the level select code. Usually I'm all about saves and infinite continues but the game just went by too quick. Still really enjoyed it. I'll probably pick up Metal Slug or Dark Arms for my next Neo Geo Pocket game.
