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?
I started Phantasy Star on my Odroid GO Ultra. Was looking for the game on my Master System but the pricing is a little over the top. Purely priced for “collectors” and not gamers.

The first Sims game! Good times
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.
Earthbound - never played this so I’m looking forward to it for my next retro play through after recently finishing a replay of both A Link to the Past and Golden Sun 1 & 2.
Afterward, it’s the Soul Blazer trilogy. I’ve only played Illusion of Gaia, and perhaps an hour of Terranigma. I loved Gaia, and remember really liking the bit I’ve played of Terranigma.
I played it long ago in emulations in the 2000s it had anti piracy thing where it prevents you from progressing. How do I know it’s a patched version?
Pokemon Ruby, I’m planning on buying a 3ds to mod but for now I’m just playing on my computer. I missed this generation of games and the speed up option on the emulator makes it better although some of the dialogue gets repetitive.
Hard mods or soft mods?
I’m not sure the difference, but I’m doing the standard mod to allow emulated games and changing the language because the Japanese ones are so much cheaper
Hard mods are modifying the 3DS hardware, whereas soft mods are software. The difference is doing something like installing a chip into your 3DS (hard mod) or leaving it with the original hardware and only modifying the operating system to allow third party apps or modifications to the first party apps (soft mods)
I haven’t started but I really want to play through Golden Sun again.
Deus Ex and System Shock.
Jumped back into Yoshi’s Island recently. So good.
Replaying Super Mario World for SNES with my five-year-old. First time for him, he loves Yoshi. I haven’t really played it all the way through in about a decade; my wife and I did it together when we were engaged, was the last time.
I can’t wait to do this with my kid, he’s currently 12 months so I’ve still got a while to go. Super Mario world is a must, and the donkey Kong country games too 😁
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.
Built an arcade machine running MAME. We have been playing a lot of Boogie Wings and Windjammers.
We also had fun playing through Leisure Suit Larry 1 a couple of weeks ago :)
Cool build. Thanks for sharing it!
I am playing the Gameboy 3DS and also the laptop with a duckstation
About half way through Mother/Earthbound Zero on my NES flashcart. I’ll have to pick Earthbound up after. I got about half way through years ago but never finished it.
Most recently finished Crystalis.
I’m still playing Baulders Gate 3 a bit but I also started South Park the Fractured but Whole and I’m really enjoying the easy game play and basically watching an episode of the show.
Cool! Speaking of South Park I surprised to read recently that Earthbound was an inspiration for Trey Parker when creating South Park. Or, at least, one of the South Park games. I see the connection though, a bunch of cute kids in a quaint little town who wind up dealing with epic monsters, aliens, piles of puke, insane adults, etc :D
