Which Classic/Retro Game(s) have you recently played?

I´m playing castlevania Symphony of the Night for the first time on my hacked PS classic, what an amazing game!!! Also i´m starting to see were From Software gathered some inspiration for their souls games!...

 

I gave up on Dune 2000 (tough missions).

Currently going through C&C Renegade (boxed copy).

 

Tecmo Bowl 3 for snes. I play it far too often. Like it's still a thing...though it never was a thing...but you know what I mean.

 

i had techmo bowl back in the day. snes was the thing and batman the animated series in college.

loved rc pro am on that system, and there were a few ff i played them all.

 

Yeah Castlevania was a major inspiration for Souls.

I haven't played any Castlevania after IV on SNES and 1 and 2 on NES, though.

 

not strictly classic retro soz but started playin SOMA for the very first time last night and rly enjoyin it feels like forever since i engaged my ultra limited brain stem lol

 

If you like Castlevania games then you have to try Symphony of the Night, it´s a really great game.

 

Finished C&C Renegade and Max Payne.

Went with something completely different now... Need for Speed - Porsche 2000. I actually bought a Gamepad for it Spend the evening setting it up with fan patches and such.

Gonna have some fun the next days with career mode.

 

Gone through Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

And attempted Turok (Remaster), but after 3 hours i had enough. Lack of manual saving and too much backtracking.

 

I always go back to Half Life, but this last time I did it in Black MESA, I heard they have a new update but didn't look all that great.

 

They've been adding levels from the Xen chapter into a beta branch.
They've got about half of the Xen chapter up for beta testing now. And it looks amazing, it's a HUGE improvement of the original Half-Life's awful Xen levels.

 

Far Cry 1

 

Ye, i been thinking about FC1 as i have the boxed copy.

But i read the second half of the game is pretty bad.

 

im replaying Bloodlines ATM, along side Mass Effect 2.

its just insane how good the conversations\voice acting and the scripts in Bloodlines compared
to modern games. i mean, ME2 is old but not that old and its a killer game - one of my favorites, but the
job they did in Bloodlines.. man.. pure talent.

so Bloodlines now, when il finish it im considering Max Payne 1 + 2.

 

Half - Life 2 Episode TWO (watch the trailer LOUD)

 

I'm playing the ol' retro vintage game of finding better job and improving my personal life.
Oh, wait , old computer games?
That would be be Myst3 and maybe Diablo 2

 

Such a good game, even if it's a little flawed.

Also, the water reflections have issues on newer hardware. Last time I played it, everything reflected in the water... except for the ground. So, you'd have trees, grass, clouds... enemies, boats... all that reflecting off the water.
But, the ground all that stuff is sitting on... not there.
