I found a Pacman arcade machine the other day and had fun playing it. Got fairly far despite it not responding quite the way I wanted.

That reminds me, are Pacman arcades common in Canada? I've seen some over here in the States, but Ms. Pacman is much more common (and Ms. Pacman/Galaga machines are even MORE common than that)

My last retro game was Knights of the Round for the SNES. AWESOME Capcom beat 'em up!

A while back, my PS2 stopped reading PS1 memory cards. I still have all my old Spyro games from the PS1 era. I can get through the first game in one day (I got through it 100% plus the bonus stage in 5 hours a few weeks ago), but I can't get through the second and third games in a day. But a few weeks back, I stumbled on a used PS1 in a used music/game store. Someone was holding it, but he wasn't totally sure if he wanted it or not, so the store took my name and number. This was several weeks ago. Today, I got a phone call...the guy didn't want it! So I went and picked it up ($16, boo-yeah!), and tonight, I will probably start a new game of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! I haven't played that game in AGES.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation

(Yes, double post.)

Oh, the nostalgia. I did indeed start playing Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage yesterday, and did the first three levels in the first world. Man oh man, this game generally holds up. I was surprised by how much I remembered perfectly.

The last retro game I played was Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara made by Capcom on a MAME emulator. It’s basically a fantasy version of Final Fight, or probably closer to Golden Axe if you will. It’s a pretty good game at that.

I went through a run of Lord of the Sword for the SMS last night. It's still a great game, if a bit repetitive at times.

I just finished Parasite Eve the other night, I LOVED it :D I can't believe it took me so long to play this, being the lover of both RPGs and Horror games that I am. I going to strike up the second game soon.

Did you finish it the normal way or did you do the Chrysler Building ending?
