I’ve played wolf 2d and doom 1 recently

Varyag ,

I tend to not go that far back usually, mostly hovering around the mid 90’s and 2000’s with my retrogaming, but does it count if I’ve played some rounds of NES Tetris?

I’m currently reading a fantasy book from 1984 if that doesn’t count.

Mother, NES, 1989

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

@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.

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

Was going to post this as well. Just replayed it again, never gets old!

Mine is kind of cheating. I’m playing the Pixel Remaster of Final Fantasy I currently. I only have my tablet on me at the moment so I’m also doing a lot of emulation. SNES, N64, and GBA are my sweet spots

Trying to finish pokemon emerald on my game boy micro. I mostly play at family gatherings

arniegeddon ,

Was playing Rainbow Islands on the ST this week.

slazer2au ,

Super Mario Bros. 3 from 1988 for the NES.

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@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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 🤷‍♂️

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.

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.

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.
