Second game complete is Circle of the Moon.

I'd made the mistake of playing Aria of Sorrow (the best CV game) first, so was reluctant to go back to this. I remember getting it on GBA launch day and it being unplayable due to the screen. Shame, because it's pretty good. Kind of halfway between old CV games and SOTN CV games.

It's main weakness is how much grinding is needed for levels and cards. But I found myself really enjoying the bosses.

Jetzt hatte ich kurz per Impuls Lust mir zu klicken, aber 25€ hab ich auch schon Jahrzehnte lang nicht mehr für ein Spiel ausgegeben.

Zum Glück bin ich keine Zielgruppe mehr und kann im Zweifel einfach mal 10 Jahre warten bis ich sowas für 'nen 5er bekomme.

Der ist eh noch lang genug und seit dem Kauf der + habe ich eh den PC kaum noch zum Spielen angefasst.

I had a think about my post yesterday on choice paralysis, and decided to apply a new approach to managing games on my .

I started by deleting everything. Then applied three rules for game inclusion:

  1. No PS1 or Arcade - there's a place for big, brash coin-op games, and a 3 inch screen isn't it.
  2. Games I once owned - for that sweet nostalgia hit.
  3. Games that I know I want to play.

This ended up being about 10 games per platform. Much more manageable!

As a gamer, how do you deal with ? How do you pick what to play next with so much to choose from?

I have a packed with 15 years of Humble Bundles and giveaways. A , a , a , each with tens of thousands of games. I have shelves bending under the weight of cartridges and disc games...

But I spend more time browsing long lists, anxious about picking the "wrong" game, than playing.

Today I should receive a Miyoo mini +. This is my entry to the retro hand-held console world. I heard good things about Miyoo mini but also a few bad. After two months of wait I'm actually quite curious about what I will find here. Feel free to drop comments, advises or experiences that you've already had with this console. :apusheencomputer: :game_boy_advance: :controller8:
