Just figured I'd start a fun thread where we tell about the latest game we are playing. I am currently playing Jeffrey Wittenhagen's Black Box Challenge on the NES. It's a fun little RPG where you are on a quest to collect the entire NES "black box" library. I have a few gripes about the game but no deal breakers. It's a fun little game and I highly suggest it if you like JRPG's. The combat system is definitely worth taking a gander at.

I started Dragon's Dogma again. It is endlessly likeable in my opinion. I really cant get enough.
If i had to some it up....

One of the best overall games. Just so much fun and action and funny stuff.
It felt like i was in a real party the whole time. Some of the battles are the best i've played in a game.
Also being able to skip scenes and voice and text is great especially if you have been through it before.
Its probly like 7 years old but they keep rereleasing it and making it better every time, not just a reskinning it.
I reccommend it the ps4 version, but if you cant get that, the 360 version is still great.

Currently playing Project Blue and Darkwing Duck on NES. Just finished Micro Mages which is awsome!
Rogue Leader / Res. Evil 4 on GameCube.
Ducktales remastered on PC athough getting a bit bored of that, I prefer the original NES game a lot more.

Enjoying Project Blue, especially the bosses. Getting some really good ideas for my own game through playing them. I just finished some water fall graphics inspired by Darkwing Duck / MegaMan etc. Partly colour swapping and partly a monster sprite. Thats the plan anyway...!

I missed the kickstarter for black box games but it sounds cool.

Black Box Challenge is a lot of fun, I still haven't finished it yet. Been splitting time between that Death Stranding and Borderlands 3. I believe you can still pick up the standard version of Black Box Challenge from Black Box Challenge . I loved Micro Mages, that game was a work of art. Played it with my kids, they couldn't get enough of it.

I love gettin dangerous. For how much i hate disney, i love capcom. I really enjoy so many disney nes games.
Re4 never gets old. Lately i went through alot of Ghost of Tsushima with my buddy. Also some new paper mario. I will have to play death stranding because it seems so kojima which im into.

Truly i dont play much unless its co-op/single player with a friend.(we trade off on most deaths and if we do alot)Or play test my game or peoples games on here. Or panel de pon with my brother, or Tekken with my former dojo master.

Ps. I dont recommend ghost. The fighting was fun , overall pretty unfinished, broken' and annoying. If it was polished after 5 years and you could skip cutscenes, it could be an overall amazing xbox360 game.

Anymore, my single player game experiences are usually guilty pleasures. Like literally jumping into the world of dragon's dogma ripped outta my gourd hearing Plum yell " MIND THE EDGE MASTER!" She/he is so helpful.

I am actually huge Disney fan... well, I love their animated works and theme parks. I don't really like the company.... same can be said of Nintendo. Not a fan but I have a sweet spot for the NES, Gameboy and SNES.

Currently I'm bombing through the NES-N64 Zeldas on my tablet. Got an NG++++ pyromancer build in Dark Souls: Remastered (Doing a FROMSoft run before Elden Ring drops). Also just finished a Back4Blood campaign-run with homies on Steam.

I recently got a deal on a used PS2. On that I've been playing Tenchu 3, Baulders Gate Dark Alliance and Grandia Extreme.
I also got a CRT TV finally and have been checking out zapper games. To the Earth has been getting a lot of play. Pinball and Mario 3 have been in my regular plays too.

Hey congrats on the CRT TV!
They're becoming hard to find anymore unless you get one online and want to pay the shipping cost equivalent of a brick house.

Zapper games are always fun!
I modified my zapper to eliminate that annoying clickity clackity noise (It also eliminated potential arguments from others being annoyed in the household :)).
My favorite go to zapper game is Mechanized Attack. The hit detection feels a bit off but still chaotic and fun to play.
My other go to is Gotcha! I remember renting this decades ago and never liking it simple because I failed to understand that you have to use the controller at the same time.

Also, congrats on the PS2!
The most badass game for that console is Starsky & Hutch in my opinion.
This game is mediocre when played with just the controller but it's a completely different beast when played with the steering wheel, pedals and light gun.
It's the only game I'm aware of that executed this for that console.
The pedals for the steering wheel can also be used for taking cover in other light gun games like Time Crisis, Gunfighter and many others including PS1 games
that of course can be played on the PS2. Below is a picture of my half-assed set up for Starky & Hutch that I dedicated an extra console for.
It's always a blast to play with a few beers especially once the game is complete then you can select your favorite missions to go kick some ass!

If you ever get the opportunity to play Starsky this way always remember to calibrate the gun correctly and change the camera to inside (bumper view) for more precision driving.
Failing to change that camera view also effects the accuracy in the gun as well simple because the objects are farther away and harder to shoot.
I'm afraid to admit how much time I have invested playing this game o_O.

I might as well mention this. If you purchased a PS2 "Slim" be aware these thin consoles are prone to scratching disk to the point of destroying them in one sitting.
I learned that the hard way. There are video's out there that explain some simple ways to correct the issue if needed.

Anyway, enough of my babbling. Have a good time enjoying your new stuff! :cool:

I had heard this was cool if you could get all the accessories for it. Unfortunately never got to play it that way. Nice setup! I have the fat Ps2 but have heard the upright stand for the slim can reduce the chances of the scratches.
