Just finished God of War 100% and started with Assassin's Creed IV, which had been lying around for ages, waiting to be played.

I am still playing God of War. Awesome game and it's quite large. One of few games I don't want it to end.
On the go I have started Shantae half Genie Hero Ultimate on Switch.

Though it has spent a while tucked away in a box following our big move, I finally got around to unpacking my Sega Saturn last week. Been focused on the games I bought long ago but never got around to playing or finishing, as well as picking up two quality arcade ports for Sega’s 32-bit machine. To truly enjoy what the Saturn has to offer, an import-converter of some kind is a must.
I’m currently playing through Sega’s undersea survival-horror title Deep Fear, which is actually quite playable despite some Japanese text. The voice acting is in English and most items are easily visually identifiable. It’s actually a pretty decent Resident Evil clone that’s enjoyably atmospheric (though not particularly scary).
Also been playing the Saturn port (and minor update) of Rad Mobile, retitled Gale Racer. Compared to the arcade game, it’s lower-res and capped at 30 fps instead of 60, but Gale Racer features an awesome soundtrack and the other cars in the Saturn version are 3D models instead of 2D sprites. It’s been outdone by the likes of Sega Rally but remains a cool “super-scaler” racer and nostalgia trip.
Just got Galaxy Force 2 in the mail yesterday and it’s an extremely impressive port. Other than the 30 fps frame-rate cap it’s essentially arcade-perfect on the Saturn.
Still got lots of old school love for Sega hardware!  |

Very nice to see some well deserved love and attention for the Saturn, Chiba! I have a lot of great games for the system which I still need to play. I should reserve more time for it. Next year, maybe the upcoming months, is the target to do it.
Which games do you have and which genres do you prefer Chiba?
Feel free to kick up the Saturn topic, elsewhere on the forum. |

Good to see you are playing Saturn Chiba. I've alwaya wondered if Rad Mobile on Saturn is any good. The arcade blew me away at the time in terms of gfx. Sounds like the Saturn port might be wroth a visit then
Galaxy Force 2 was one of the last games I bought for my Saturn. Yes is a really good port. I think they probably could have made it 60fps but who knows what budget and devlopment time they had to do it in (Probably not much). In recent years I mainly use my Saturn for playing Space Harrier and Outrun  I love all the superscalar games . Powerdrift is a great port although again it's 30fps. (Dreamcast version is 60fps if you can find it!)

i'm mostly hooked on metal gear survive. the player base is dwindling due to the hate surrounding it, but the coop modes are really fun and very intense on the harder difficulties. |

I've been playing Gunlord (Neo Geo) recently. Since the update I genuinely prefer this to Turrican 1 on the Amiga

At the moment I'm really enjoying Candle - The Power of the Flame on the PS4, it's a really nice puzzle game.

Ive been playing Qwak a lot on GBA. It's addictive. I got my GBA out because I want to upgrade the screen so it's back-lit like my GB Pocket. Really like that Qwak saves high scores to cart.
This reminded me of the time I tried to get Qwak made on Neo Geo and the designer saw this thread http://www.neo-ge...-Game-Qwak and killed the project

Ninja Cop is a rare shinobi clone for the system and a great game too.

Thanks Beret. I've always wanted that but held off because it was too expensive but of course it is twice as expensive now! Looks like a great game though.

I've been trying to get into CD32 recently. It's mostly a terrible console (I think the worst I've ever owned!) but there is the element of discovery and playing games that you know won't be that good but enjoying them for what they are. I've been playing Exile (not as good as the standard Amiga version because it has a zoomed-in viewpoint but it does look better) and Oscar (average platformer but fun)
I have been looking for more games and came across this gane : Fightin Spirit which is meant to be one of the best fighting games on the console. Really looks like it was heavily inspired by Fatal Fury and the title sequence reminds me a little of Art of Fighting. Definitely Neo Geo inspired!

See if you can spot the Neo Geo influences

Fightin Spirit looks quite nice to be honest, too bad there isn't a lot of animation in the backgrounds. Graphics are quite similar to Fatal Fury and almost 90% of all moves come either from Fatal Fury or Street Fighter II. If the controls are good, this would be a game I'd like to play to be honest.

That was a weakness of the Amiga sadly - lack of background animation because it wasn't character based like the consoles.
Yes it looks pretty good but because it's one of the few good games the prices are ridiculous. I'm not sure about the control because the CD32 joypad is really bad (!!) but I'm sure someone must have figured out how to use a SNES pad on it by now.

I've been playing Outrun HD, Aliens : Colonial Marines and Testdrive Unlimited on 360. Outrun aside I was trying to play the games I havent really played properly before.
Testdrive looked bland as hell when I started playing but actually gets really enjoyable with the open-ended gameplay. Def better than the Test Drive games on the Amiga!
I enjoyed Aliens a lot for a while, I love the film, it looked good, and it was tense holding the motion-tracker up. But after 30 mins I got stuck(!) And after 10 mins of looking around I stopped playing. At that point all I had done was shoot a couple of eggs. No aliens! It felt like one of those games - where the aliens appear at a point when the developer decides. It kind of gets rid of any tension/motivation when you realise that it's all a giant set-piece. I'll give it another go sometime though

It's great
