Been trying out a rediculous amount of those games today.... I miss my Amiga 500 and Amiga 2000 (with a PC card and a cool 20 mb HD!).

I love shooters, and Axelay was always a fun one. UN Squadron, Super EDF, Super R-Type, etc.
But the best one? R-Type III: The Third Lightning. Awesome action, amazing rock soundtrack.

One of my favorite shooters of all time.Played some Axelay tonight.
A very underwhelming performance from me, to be fair, but I did have fun. It's just a gorgeous game throughout. The second level with the city in the background is still stunning. The fourth level in the half-submerged cave is even better, with one of the most hauntingly beautiful tracks I've ever heard come from a SNES. On the other hand, Konami's eyes were bigger than their stomachs when they forced the SNES to a flickery crawl during the Lava Man boss. Sill worth it IMO.
Although I played pretty terribly and used up all my continues, the game did end with a really nice "last life, no continues left" climax that gave me a bit of a rush. Skip to about an hour in for the second-last form of the last boss.

My favs in the series were R-Type Delta and R-Type Final. Great soundtracks in those too. I never played R-Type 3 but you just inspired me. Looks great. Gonna give a run.

So I've been into SNES a lot lately. The wife and I have been playing a lot of Tetris Attacks and Rock and Roll Racing while I've been piddling with Super Castlevania, Ff3(6), and Zelda.
I want to build a retropie I think. Can these do 2 players or is it one player only? Fuck carts being so goddamn expensive.
I have also considered just building a dirt cheap desktop and putting in an S video capable card that I can hook up to my CRT that I got specifically for retro stuff.

I did that with an Xbox at one point but so help you God if you jostled it, it would shut off. Don't exactly remember the chip/folded piece of paper holding it in scheme that made it work.
I'm plenty happy with SuperReto16 on Android tho (renamed from Super GSnes or something). Looking for a good compatible SNES to Android controller though. Its just my last priority on earth but maybe I should get around to it. Most games are fine but fighting games not so much.

Gotta admit the oldies do look good on a big screen. One of the arcades by me had some like 50 inch screen before there were ever really 50 inch screens and they'd cycle the hottest new game onto it. The Primal Rage display looked real nice on it with the big put put castle and fountains in the back drop. Probably what I will see when I walk through them pearly gates.

I've been using the 8bitdo Gamepad, which is virtually identical to a SNES pad but is Android and Bluetooth compatible (although I've only ever used it connected to my PC via USB). I found mine at EB Games, although I don't think I've seen any there for a while.

Saw some of these at EB Games just last week. They are super expensive. Was like 50$. Ridiculous!I've been using the 8bitdo Gamepad, which is virtually identical to a SNES pad but is Android and Bluetooth compatible (although I've only ever used it connected to my PC via USB).

If I want an authentic retro experience on PC, it's the best way to go!
