megaman 3 from 1990

hendrik ,

I have Batocera on my Rapbperry Pi and I occasionally like to play some N64 games. So roughly late 1990s. I also tested the Apple 2 emulator and played either Apple Panic or Lode Runner, I can't remember. That'd be early 80s but I just did 2 or 3 levels.

N64 runs ok on pi? Since when? Which PI?

Is this similar to RetroPie and LaunchBox? Essentially an emulator front-end? That’s the vibes I’m getting from a quick glance at your link

I know it’s not the “official” game, but I’ve been playing some Ocarina of Time (1998) multi-world randomizers every now and then over the last couple years.

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

Would you elaborate on the multi-world part please? Is it additional modded areas or am I thinking too hard?

Console_Modder ,

So it is a program running in the program from Archipelago that can connect multiple randomizers together. You can have a friend playing a different randomizer somewhere else and you can send them item for their game and vise versa. Or you can run an a-synch on your own by doing everything you can in one game, and then swapping to another.

They have a list of compatible randos on their website, and I’d be willing to answer any other questions you have

@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

Holy shit. So, like, the Link to the Past+Super Metroid randomizer on crack?

Edit: thats the impression I am getting from the site. That is absolutely amazing

Console_Modder ,
@Console_Modder@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, pretty much lmao!

Edit: They show it off at the Game Done Quick charities every year or so. Here is one that is Ocarina of Time and Kingdom Hearts II

That doesn’t even make sense, and I don’t know how I feel about. I appreciate the link, hopefully I will get a chance to check it out. Internet is real spotty here

I guess the oldest would be Asteroids using emulation via MAME. If you’re talking about original hardware I would say Pitfall on the Atari 2600.

Fallout 1997

Pechente ,

Recently got a cheap Gamecube and now I‘m playing through Windwaker and some Double Dash every now and then. It’s insane how good the games still look that support progressive mode through the digital port.

taiyang ,

I’m currently playing through WW and thought the same thing. I’m doing it emulated, though, which is neat cause I can do the weird GBA feature without wasting batteries. Why not have Tingle whereever you go?

@Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org avatar

That would be Ultima Online, released in 1997.

I can tolerate the graphics, but the controls are really something else. Played it for 3 hours and had the urge to play some more, but never did.

I played countless hours of Cave Noire this year. It’s a coffee break roguelite that released in 1991 on Gameboy.

I fuck around with old games a lot but there are not that many games I get really into these days. Cave Noire is similar to Desktop Dungeons where every attempt is a short puzzle so it fits pick up and play nature of Gameboy. Can’t recommend it enough if you’re into this kind of stuff.

Gonna download (my totally legal backup copy) now and check it out

Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

Edit: is it accessible without knowing much Japanese?

It is, if you look a few things up, but there’s also a readily available translated “backup copy” floating around.

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

Edit: the patch is still available on romhacking.net for the time being. I don’t know when the official shutdown for file hosting is

Nemo ,

I am very much into this kind of stuff.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Paper Mario is a recent one…probably something older but i’ll just stick with that

dhork ,

I play NetHack regularly, but maybe that doesn’t count because it’s under active development again so the most recent stable drop is from last year.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Now that is interesting. I’d say since it’s the same game just updated it counts 🤷‍♂️

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Oldest I have played during this year? Or oldest I have played up until this year?

HexagonSun OP ,

Oldest this year.

But maybe up until this year, or in the last 5 years would have been the more interesting question.

Has no one here played Super Mario Bros? 1985… or donkey Kong? 1981. Pac-Man? 1980. Space invaders? 1978. So many classics, all playable today with MAME or even still working systems or perfect emulation!

I’ve been messing with SMB 1, 3, and World hacks lately

Lost_My_Mind ,

Pssshhhh!!! Only because you have good taste!

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I see you all over lol. If you like retro games and professional wrestling you’re ok in my book

Chocrates ,

In 2024? No.

calamityjanitor ,

I’m moving house this week and unearthed my galaxy invader 1000 handheld. Had to play a couple rounds on the spot! Apparently from 1980.

Omegamanthethird ,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I definitely played SMB this year. I may have played Pac-Man.

But I also played mancala which is 8,000 years old.

My gaming extends decades ago, with an Atari 2600 and the arcade era of the early 80s. Returned to gaming a few years ago and I'm playing Oregon Trail for the first time. Oh, and it's on my Steam deck.

Ashtear ,

I still play Treasure of Tarmin (Intellivision, 1983) on my phone from time to time. I don’t think the core gameplay loop would be entirely out of place in a small roguelite game today.

Cadeillac , (edited )
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

You have my attention, now sell me on it!

Edit: I decided to give it a try. For anybody else interested, I believe the internet has archived it. It is listed under Mattel Intellivision, with the full title being D&D - Treasure of Tarmin

Edit: scratch that. I have exec.bin and grom.bin in my Retroarch system folder, and I’m just getting a green screen with occasional flicker, followed by Intellivision Halted.

Edit: bad ROM. What you want is Advanced D&D Treasure of Tarmin. I also grabbed the Mountain one to check out

Super Mario Bros. 3 from 1988 for the NES.

Was playing Rainbow Islands on the ST this week.
