Your top ten video games of all time

Shit, forgot about that one. :confused:

A magnificent game, need to get the platinum on it for PS4. Such a nice concept. Clover Studio were super talented.

Again Iā€™m disappointed that I forgot this game on my list! Shenmue is a masterpiece.

I never managed to get my hands on a copy, I loved Panzer Dragoon 2 and Zwei!

A tasteful choice for a shmup connoisseur.

I remember there being people pirated games in England. Complete with octamed tracker type theme music on boot screens.

Me and a friend got lists sent from them every few months and the excitement getting them was like Christmas. Weā€™d both save pocket money and order 10 or 20, they were a quid each. Go halfes then copy each otherā€™s.

Piracy is bad of course :wink:

I had Viewpoint on the NES. Bit of a dodgy port but it wowed me nonetheless.

Thinking about building or buing some kind of dedicated RetroArch Box for that purpose. But having it legally on the switch would be cool. the subscribtion emu plan sucksā€¦

The game that taught me that ā€˜kuru kuruā€™ meant ā€˜to spinā€™ in Japanese. :slight_smile:

The Xbox Series S can be a cool option for living room emulation due to a feature that isnā€™t all that well advertisedā€¦ Thereā€™s a ā€˜developer modeā€™ you can unlock for about $20 which allows you to run your own code, which naturally lead to Retroarch etc. being ported to it.

The most recent Xbox D-pad is pretty nice for a lot of retro stuff too, comically clicky but super accurate.

read about that and also have a series x but just know in january ms seems to shut down dev accounts if you are not actively contributing to their shop system. so a lot of people loosing dev mode right now. heard that you could use retroarch also without dev mode but i donĀ“t really know if that is true.

Loved Super Mario Land too on gameboy.
