Hey, I played those games you call now "retro". They were awesome. I was already mass murdering zygotes when sega genesis came in Panic

I don't have to retro-game. I played them all when they were new!

Shinobi!

I used to play it in the arcade when I was a kid. One of the best games of all time, I can still play it now and enjoy it which can't be said of too many games of that era. I even got it on xbox live, they changed the colour of the spider-men dudes.

Ok, that thing definitely looks interesting. But what the hell exactly is it?
From what I can gather, it's basically just a controller you can plug into your computer, right? Or does it actually run stuff on its own?

I'm almost afraid to know, because if it's something I can use I'll be wasting even more hours on Centipede now than I did in the 80s.  Tongue

Does playing Fate Of Atlantis on scummvm count? Because I fucking love that game.

Alas, I also played it when it was new...

You all seem to be committing the "not talking about Shinobi" fallacy.

It's weird how the original was absolute golden, but none of the sequels or even the eventual 3D versions of it were anywhere near as good.

I still often lose a life first time round to that stupid Mandara git. For some reason his spinners are easier to kill on the subsequent tries. The last boss... is a bastard, I can usually sort him but occasionally he pulls some shenanigans with his final form.
