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

megaman 3 from 1990

This week it’s been Megaman II (1988).

I feel like games before that era had a lot of coin-op focus. Not much content, but hard enough that you’ll be pouring more credits into the machine. That said, I’ve been itching to play Alley Cat (1983), but I don’t have a good setup for MS-DOS games at the moment. I’ll have to see if my Miyoo mini is up for the task.

I actually played a wee bit of 1983’s Crystal Castles (Atari 2600 version) earlier this year when I was trying out emulators 🤣 I loved that game when I was a kid, I get a major nostalgia hit when I play it. I’m sure some of the other games I tested were older still, but that’s the one I remember because I was born in that same year.

I remembered it being one of the first games I ever played. As I fumbled my way through those first few sessions, I could physically feel my neurons flowering and blooming and creaking to life like a bunch of microscopic mind-rhubarb. It was the beginning of a life-long love of gaming.

I’ve played wolf 2d and doom 1 recently

Was playing Rainbow Islands on the ST this week.

Super Mario Bros. 3 from 1988 for the NES.

DOOM, 1993. Finally went through and beat it. Also recently sat down and learned how to edit wads as well as picking up ACS for advanced map scripting. Still a great game.

Burger Time 1982

It was one of my first video games, we had it for the Atari 2600, and I have it on a RetroPi emulator. You are a chef and the stages are platforms with ladders between them similar to Donkey Kong. The platforms have hamburgers ingredients on them and you have to avoid the enemies and run over the ingredients to make them fall to the bottom. You have to build all of the burgers to win the stage.

Ah yeah that was a cool game! I played a version of it on Intellivision in the late 90s.

I just played Mancala the other day which may be up to 8,000 years old.

My daughter and I played with a ball today. It looks like Mancala might be old as balls!?

Either Outlaw or Superman or the Atari 2600. Both came out in 1978, but I’m not sure which was first.

Mother, NES, 1989

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

If you have played Earthbound, is Mother 1 still worth a play?

jodanlime ,
@jodanlime@midwest.social avatar

I have played earthbound many times before I played mother. If you are a huge fan of the series, yes it’s worth playing. But it’s not necessary, earthbound is almost more of an enhanced remake than a sequel. Sure, there are some differences, but nothing compared to mother 3.

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

That’s how I always saw it. I have Mother 3 ready to go. I always have Mother 3 ready to go, yet I barely get anywhere in it. Maybe after I finish Final Fantasy.

I loved Earthbound, and grinded for at least the home run bat (I think that was Ness’ best weapon). Mother 3 just either doesn’t hook me immediately, or maybe things always came up. Any spoiler free input on the situation is welcome

jodanlime ,
@jodanlime@midwest.social avatar

Actually happened to me too. I’m pretty far into the game but I made the mistake of trying to play 2 JRPGs back to back. The older I get, the less I’m able to grind that much. I have to switch up genres between my main gaming love of RPG to something else in between to not get burnt out.

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

That’s actually what I am afraid of. Although, I don’t know if I unintentionally grind, or if I’m just the only person that never runs from a random encounter. Final Fantasy I has been a cake walk, I’ve pretty much always felt over leveled if anything

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

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.
