Nice!!  How was Super Darius?

Lords of Thunder and Super Star Soldier are awesome!  Great games.  I really dig Gates of Thunder... that was one of my favorites.  As far as Paranoia and Son Son... I've never heard of those games.  How are they?

We had a pretty awesome meet up yesterday with @Grindspine @retro junkie @SpartanEvolved @targetrasp @CreepinDeth and myself.

Definitely had great discussion on pinball games, arcades and pinball machines.  We hope to see everyone next Tuesday.

We also need a topic on Revenge of the Gator... @retro junkie ... lol.    Still crazy I don't remember that game at all.  And maybe Pinball FX @CreepinDeth and @targetrasp !

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Holiday Marathon!!! TG16 & PCE

Last post by retro junkie - December 23, 2025, 02:35:35 PM

I did a mini gaming marathon this morning. Using the Turbo Grafx 16 mini and the Retron GX. Started with Lords of Thunder. The rule for the marathon is....don't let them see you cry...

it has been a day of humiliation. But it has been a while so I did deserve everything I got. It was still fun. I did play Victory Run in there somewhere too. But I have realized that I am going to need to get back into some of these Shmups before a marathon feels more like a victory. It is interesting that the day I was testing games on the Retron GX that I really had my game on. Everything was hitting just right and I didn't want to stop and go to the next game.

That's how I felt as well. Was really hoping for a Half-Life 3 announcement, only to be duped by a Mega-Man announcement, lol. 

LOL!  That's hilarious.   Yeah... I don't know if it's me changing or what.   I don't get into the ridiculous monsters screaming at the screen (spitting... screen everything else shaking).  It's just over played.  That stuff was somewhat cool back in the day when it was introduced.  It seems people are still into it though. 

Every game seems to have that "look" now where they will have a team of __________ fill in the blank pose, and light up some sort of magical attack.   Reminds me of Yelena (Black Widows Sister) calling Black Widow "such a poser" LOL     Then she tries it once and is like "ugh." LOL

Getting good Ram and a video card now costs more than what I've paid for several cars. Its sickening

@targetrasp that's just insane to think about... I mean, items (food, tech, everything) has really jumped hard in price... especially this year.  We have seen an insane amount of jumps.  The local coffee shop we go to has just brought up their prices.  They were trying to not do this, but their coffee has jumped $3 per pound since April due to tariffs and inflation.

I am guilty of buying a new laptop before some of the increases.  This replaced my 2018 laptop... which has seen better days.  However, it still works!  The ram I replaced (32 for 64GB) has jumped 3x as mentioned in the other Ram price thread.  This might be a good time to unload that 32GB ram LOL!

I never was a fan of overclocking.  Tried it a bit... just didn't do it after that.

I'm growing more into a trend of games that I can enter and exit quickly ... outside @targetrasp's and I Sniper Elite Platinum Trophy sessions haha (these Sniper 5 levels are hard!).  We need to do that again soon. Holiday times are hard with everything going on.

Hawkeye was a good holiday binge since it is all about Christmas season!

Heck yeah @Grindspine --> The Hawkeye series  has been added to the Christmas movie list for sure!

It's a shame they may not have a Hawkeye 2... I might create a topic on this.
