I’m playing through Jade Cocoon right now. These games aren’t dead.
That game was so cool! So many wild combinations of monsters to make, such a neat setting
Shit, I still have a working Genesis.
I think I have three of the damn things.
They just keep popping up like mushrooms. Same thing with Gamecubes.
I’ve had a hard time finding cheap working GameCubes.
Same!
Me too. I like to play Xmen 2: Clone Wars and Bubsy on it. I’ve been thinking of getting an 8bitdo for it so I can play it wireless with my PS4 controllers.
I hear emudeck for the Steam Deck is amazing too, but I never got around to installing it.
Xmen 2: Clone Wars and Bubsy
Gave me nostalgia whiplash, there.
- X-Men 2: Clone Wars - “Well of course, don’t we all?”
- Bubsy - “…and some of us are into pain and punishment, of course. It takes all types.” (I never got good at Bubsy.)
For me, X-men 2 was harder.
But Bubsy is just memorizing the layout or gambling. The game dares you to go fast like Sonic, but there are pitfalls every 2 seconds or you’ll be going down into an unknown area that could either be fine or it could kill you, and there’s no way of knowing beforehand.
Huh. That perspective could help. I always thought I was just terrible at Bubsy. Which I guess I was. But keeping that in mind might help a lot.
The 8bitdo wireless Genesis controller is pretty good and faithful to the original.

My blood pressure goes up just looking at the Space Taxi loading screen. Space Taxi is why I don’t have any patience left to try Dark Souls.

Monty on the run, can you hear the screenshot?
Mega Drive is still getting good mileage here. Recently played MSG on a ps emulator. I have the discs and a PSX but played it on my odroid go ultra. Got stuck figuring out how to change the discs virtually so that’s how far I got in the game.
Many people still play OoT, especially with mods.
Amiga I still love you
Love MGS1, but Yell Dead Cell is one of the best boss themes of all time.
I’ll let you go out in style.
Last year I bought an original 8 bit Nintendo system with Super Mario and Tetris … two games I grew up playing for hours and hours. I hadn’t played them in years and I thought I should buy one just to have on hand because they’ll probably disappear and become unavailable in the next decade or two (assuming I’ll live that long … lol)
I bring it out once in a while just to play it and get frustrated as I try to remember where, when and how to run and jump through level 8
I can hear that Ocarina of Time screenshot.

AH AH AH AH!
Is that Lain?
Yes.
You got classic video games buried in dirt and forgot about Atari? There are more copies of ET in the ground than anything else. Lol
Are there still? Did they leave most of em? I thought a bunch got sold off to patrons of that dig attempt.
Oh shit! You’re right! I never read about that.

This picture is way too sinister, unrelated to this being a meme
Every time i see it i have tears coming
I know, I started seeing it a lot after losing my cat recently, and it stings a bit. =(
We still talk about how many of your cartridges got buried in a landfill.
