The New Video Game Recommendation Thread v2.0

There's a fan translation patch out for SNES RPG Energy Breaker. Links and video HERE.

Keeping it retro, folks.

If this is entirely the wrong place to post, pass it on.

Managed to snag a copy of Castlevania for the PS3 for a fiver today, its in the cupboard next to my sealed copies of Red Dead Redemption and whole host of other games that are in my play once I'm done with Dark Souls collection.

It involves making giraffes kiss, in fact that's the whole game, and is very cute.

The SNES JRPG Arabian Nights has an English translation patch available for it - LINK.
Just the ticket if you enjoy grinding through lots of pain in the arse random encounters!

Kotaku: "The [PS Vita] dungeon crawler, from the developers of the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, is slated to launch later this year under the title Sorcery Saga: The Curse of the Great Curry God. Players will control protagonist Pupuru, a suspended student of the Magic Academy, on her travels through the world's various dungeons. Her journey is spurred by an old book of magical curry recipes, and she decides to gather the required ingredients to make curry good enough to save her local curry restaurant."

Sounds relevant to Yak's interests.

THIS is a lot of retro fun.

I just picked up "Everyday Shooter" on PSN for a dollar.

I have to say, it has a very Minteresque quality.

From B3ta - seriously, WTF? Escape form '85.

From B3ta - seriously, WTF? Escape form '85.

Why would anyone want to?

Bought Guns 'n' Ghosts (unapologetic co-op shooter - just reviewed in RetroGamer) and Knight 'n' Grail (cool Metroidvania..err..'em up?) from BZ/Psytronik. Great stuff.

This is rather nice - Abbaye Des Morts for the Speccy.




Free, too.

One Tap Quest

You only get one move, so make it count.

(my record: after at least a dozen two dozen tries I finished the game with a score of 15,000 16,400)

I've got a 2600 recommendation, if you like Tempest-style gameplay. Turmoil. Great fun in its day.


And thanks to whoever mentioned Leave Home; gonna buy that one when I get off work today.

I've just had a go at the digital download version of Darkness for the C64. Maze collect-em-up in the Ultimate style with lots of keys and masks to collect in a very expansive and varied map. I'd say it's less punishing than say Sabre Wulf because your weapon is ranged and can be powered up. Don't like the way enemies have spawned? Step out of the screen then back again. Old school.


That Ultimate edition...expensive but..
