The Monster Zero retro video gaming thread

[planetxleader]

Looks like something that hasn't really been discussed here much. This is for anyone who, like me, barely plays any next-gen stuff, who still owns and treasures their N64, and finds it easier to enjoy something found at a flea market versus something found at a department store.

I have the great luck to have a retro video game shop literally across the street from my apartment complex. Last year I bought a copy of the original Star Fox and played the crap out of it for about a week, loving every moment. And at only $7, I don't have the guilt of making a big splurge on something I won't play all that much (like my Wii, cough cough).

So... retro game discussion. What are you playing (if at all), what are you searching for, nostalgia stories and buying/discovery stories, etc.

Probably not gonna play it much right now, but I did dust off my SNES again last night to quickly revisit the beginning of this:

I used to play and beat LOZ ALTTP every year after school let our for parts of summer where I was bored at home as a ritual.
Doubt if I do it this summer. Though I have been searching over a decade now for a turbo duo to play Godzilla's greatest battles on, which I do own.

The Turbo duo has a bigger roster, and I loved that Godzilla changed "suits" when playing the campaign. I just wish I was better at fighting games

I remember reading about to Turbo Duo Godzilla game in GamePro back in the day. So sad I never got to experience it. The SNES one is great and honestly fills me with more nostalgia than any of the 3D games (the little details like the sound of Godzilla's ray and Megalon chortling). I'd love to see a 2.5D Godzilla fighter in the same vain.

Anywho, just like that, my retro kick is sputtering. Just finished a Lobsterdance miniature shoot and catching up on a lot of stuff, so I figured I would have had a leisurely week to sit down and play but... I haven't. I hate being an adult. XD

I did, however, get a chance to stop by my local retro store and buy a weird old SNES RPG called Drakkhen:
