What game(s) are you playing now? What are you playing on?

I have a couple of handheld emulators I typically use or my SteamDeck. I prefer to the miyoo mini+.

I've been playing a lot of NES Tetris as of late.

Rollercoaster Tycoon. Got openRTC2 which you can use for 1 and 2 to make it better for modern systems. It's such a good game and most rollercoaster games don't even compare to the OG.

The original author made it all in assembly too. If you're not familiar... that's difficult to do. But it's what made it run so well. Such a great game.

Yeah, it's more efficient than most normal software at the time. Windows would crash on me more often than that game.

[–] jgrim 1 points 1 year ago

It's more efficient than anything since, too.

I've only played two games as of late. Warframe and Crab Champions. Crab Champions is surprisingly fun

[–] jgrim 1 points 1 year ago

I've heard of Crab Champions, but I've not tried it yet. I'm going to have to add it to the list.

Wolfenstein 3D in dosbox. It's surprisingly long...

[–] jgrim 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm embarrassed to ay I never beat that game... I've also not played it in a very long time. I should give it another go.

[–] sarchar@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's like, 6 chapters of 10 largish levels. If you're a completionist like me and need 100% on a level, it becomes quite a long game.

[–] jgrim 2 points 1 year ago

That's my problem. I get so caught up with 100%ing a game that I either give up or spend too long on a single game. I still have fun, though.

Starting playing everything on playstation so i can feel like i am doing something with trophies unlocking.

Between Dead Cells, rogue legacy 2, and whatever over again.

[–] jgrim 1 points 1 year ago

I couldn't ever get into PlayStation. The only thing I played on it was Road Rash and Tomb Raider.

Starting SpaceQuest VI again, this time on a PSP.

[–] jgrim 1 points 1 year ago

I never had a PSP, but I always wanted one. Maybe it's time... if I can find one.

Retro-wise (well "new retro"), Plus/4 Lemmings https://sopuli.xyz/post/1418566

Also Tape Worm Disco on Evercade

[–] jgrim 2 points 1 year ago

I only ever played Lemmings on my Grandpa's Windows 3.11 IBM PS/2. He had the holiday one. I loved that. I should try to find that again!

[–] HollandJim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The original style is the best - Used to play the hell out of Lemming on my Amiga 2000. Still trying to find one that works well for handhelds like the Miyoo.

Wind Waker HD on Wii U

Portal 2 on the switch

[–] jgrim 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm trying to convince my wife to play 2 player Portal 2. She wants to play StarDew instead... which I like.

[–] FalconRadier09@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet she would like it too, keep trying, it’s so fun two player. I enjoy stardew as well, but you gotta mix it up!

[–] jgrim 1 points 1 year ago

That's what I'm saying! I'll just start playing it and see if I can grab her attention.
