Anyone anything good at the moment? I'm still on my PSP kick playing MGS Peace Walker which I think is going to keep me busy for a while. Especially as I'm not great at it 😶.

So happy I picked up a PSP again though. Such a fun console. I maaayyy have also bought Silent Hill Origins. I think that's probably all the games that I definitely want for it, but any suggestions of hidden gems that I should look out for?

@jaykass niiice! It's not a series I know much about, but I understand it's a classic!

@Bogusmeatfactory pretty different, but good variety! I think I've played a little of the first legacy of Kain, but really not much. Maybe I should look into it. What's making it enjoyable?

@jaykass I think there's something special about working through a series in order. Seeing that progression and how it grew over time. Pretty cool

@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@Bogusmeatfactory hmmmm... I'll have to keep a look out for it. Probably start with the first one though

@mforester emulating retro on retro! Retro^2! I wonder how many layers you could do with that?

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@maxalmonte14 I keep seeing it on PSP lists of good games. It's really not the thing I'd normally go for but it does look interesting!

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester I really would love to see how many layers were possible 😅

@repeatro it is a cool system! I picked up the metal gear solid graphic novel for it. And that's just a really novel idea. Kind if a shame that the UMD format didn't gain more traction

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@maxalmonte14 that's it! I'm sold! 😁. Someone else says "it's not my thing but.... " And I'm gonna have to check it out. Adds it to list of games to look out for

@repeatro I keep spotting the metal slug collection, and I'm tempted. I know nothing about metal slug, but that SNK style is super appealing. PSP definitely has a good number of ports.

(I mean, I'd like the castlevania game for it, but I'm just gonna assume it's crazy expensive!!)

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@mforester @repeatro I've never played much castlevania, but I think sotn is something I should play

@trixter just had to search for it and one of the first things I read was "...best suited for the hardcore strategy/RPG crowd..."

I may have to sit this one out! 😅

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@ch1pset yeah, I don't think it ever made it off the PSP 🤔

eeep! I know what you mean! Backlogs get super long when you start going back through console generations!

@Toad64 excellent! 😁

Forgot to post this yesterday. Currently working through the Pikuma NES dev course, progress is coming along well. I know enough to create individual backgrounds now, which is neat 👍

@dinosaurgerms so cool! Looks like it's going well! 😁

Three new pickups at today's car boot sale. Three that I've been trying to get hold of for some time 😍🥰

What about, handheld console that uses floppy discs?

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@kiwired yes! And it's pretty cute! I was kind of thinking more like those early digital cameras that took a floppy disc... But a handheld. I want to feel the whirring of a drive reading!

@kawaiizenbo tbh that's what made me think of it. Like the PSP is an optical media handheld, so why not a floppy disc handheld?!? 😁

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@foone do it! I was trying to work out if you could make a kind of self contained pico-8 that loaded directly off floppy 😅

Hundstrasse,
@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@foone yeah, I think that would be three best way to do it

@semiramis eeeep! I'm really worried about how many people have mentioned drift now 😳

@dinosaurgerms I know so little about top down shootemups it's embarrassing! (Except for once falling in love with a Capcom car cocktail unit of one of the 1940 something games) Like, is there lore to this? Is there a plot? The bosses are so elaborate I kind of feel like someone must've spent a long time thinking about it all.
