Currently replaying Star Trek Next Generation: A Final Unity. A great DOS game. Played this through many times about 20 years ago. It's great, apart from the very glitchy battle mechanics. Better plot than a lot of the episodes and films.

Got myself a bootleg, translated Adventure Island IV NES cart last week and completed the game today. It's a shame that this one wasn't released in English because it's a lot of fun and, in some ways, is better than the other games in the series (even though they're all fantastic games, imo). At first it seemed like it was too easy but the difficulty really picks up in level 5 to the point where the game gets a little tedious; ultimately it is satisfying to rescue all of the dinosaurs and then your wife though. Before today the only other Adventure Island game that I ever beat was New Adventure Island.
I really kind of hate the idea of people repurposing games like this but I guess not enough to resist buying this...

Still playing Street Fighter V. Trying to learn Balrog as he is my main in ST and SFIV. Hes so different in SFV though, and as it stands hes not very good. But he can do a ton of damage if he has Vtrigger and 2 stocks of meter.Still fun, just frustrating to learn him.

A couple of hours last night playing Enduro, Megamania and Snoopy for the 2600. Nothing like playing Atari in the middle of the night.

Just got my NESRGB going and I'm all about playing some NES right now. Anyway, I recently finished New Adventure Island (awesome game) so I began with playing Adventure Island. It's not my favorite and the graphics aren't so great. You can tell it's an early game.

However, Adventure Island II is f*cking awesome! I remember playing this game 20 years ago on my friend's Sharp Nintendo TV (turns out those are pretty rare these days). Anyway, it's Adventure Island with dinosaurs. Pretty great, if you ask me.

P.S. I've been playing around with the color palettes. I typically prefer the Playchoice-10 colors. The Garish just doesn't do anything for me.

crap there are too many games to play this month!

Tried a little gain ground for the pc engine but that's been overshadowed by:

Forza Horizon 3 demo which is amazing,  Getting about 90% of MAME roms to work on my PI3, and now I have a backlog of PSX games on there to play along with Dragon Quest 7 on the 3DS and now having Virtua Fighter 5 FS as backward compatible on the xbone.

Been playing KOF XIV for the past few weeks. Really happy with it, and haven't touched SFV since it came out. Also picked up Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse this week, and started that as well. They say its better than SMT IV, not sure how thats possible, but i will find out soon

Just hit the 40 hour mark on Dragon Quest VII on 3DS! Really enjoying the game! Was a little surprised its not till around 30 hours into the game till you can change your vocation, also about 2 hours or so in before you even have your first battle. But its fun! :) Always love the Dragon Quest games!  :P

Finally picked up a game controller for the first time in months. Been too busy working and having a blast playing airsoft during my far to little free time. Just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles X which I picked up new for $30 at Target a few months ago and so far have been performing very poorly. Either major grinding is necessary for progression or I'm doing something wrong.

Hop on now and then to read posts during lunch at work, but don't find the time or interest to post on here very often obviously. Hopefully that'll change, but its unlikely.

To progress in Xenoblade Chronicles X you will have to complete side missions and the main ones as well.Don't forget to mine to for better materials etc.

A friend let me borrow Super Mario RPG, and I finished it in about four days. I have an SD2SNES, but this is one of the few that doesn't work. The school shut down due to the hurricane so I had a five day weekend. Glad it was just a precaution, though.
