I recently started playing Worms Armageddon (PC version, my favorite game of all time) again after almost a year off to enter a tournament (that I'm losing badly - the skill ceiling is stratospheric). Not super retro, but I'm playing through Super Paper Mario right now. It's not as bad as I'd thought it'd be...but it's pretty weak. Mostly pure platforming, which has never been my thing, the inability to save mushrooms found in blocks for later restricts me from earning money and making recipes, and having to flip constantly to find secrets is an awful drag. Didn't need a strategy guide for the first two, but it would've improved this one. Characters/dialogue (awesome as always) are just about the only things saving it. I'll go back to Perfect Dark (N64 version, my second-favorite game of all time - the XBLA port is inauthentic and half-assed) and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (my 4th-favorite game of all time, and my #1 chillout game) eventually, but I have a long past-few-years game backlog in front of me (including Cuphead, Alien: Isolation, and Dirt Rally). P.S. 1999-2007...sorry for not going that far back. :-\ I am planning to get a (original, not mini) SNES someday - I didn't really get into gaming until N64, and although it soured me on 2D/primitive 3D games, there are a few classics I'm interested in experiencing. P.P.S. The oldest games on my favorites list are Doom II, SimCity 2000, Myst, Quake, and Pokémon Red/Blue. The oldest games I've played on original hardware are arcade games like Donkey Kong, Tetris, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Asteroids, and the oldest games I've played emulated are Atari 2600 games.

Big Scary Owl posted:Didn't know this was a thing I wanted to see until you mentioned it. Will this tournament be streamed? High-level Worms sounds incredible. The later rounds might be streamed - the group stage is just finishing up right now. http://cwtsite.com/ You can find some links to streams from last year on there, though a better way to watch games is via WA's internal replay system - every round is being uploaded for result verification. You do have to buy the game, though... :P Though I'm not following matches outside my group very closely, some players to watch this year are tanerrr (who's a jerk), Siwy (last year's runner-up), Rafka, and Kayz. I think all the players except me are from Europe. Note that it could be a while until the playoffs. The tourney kind of snuck up on people this year, and as a result there the fewer players than normal (the only reason I managed to qualify...) and progress is slow.

ProjektorBoy posted:It breaks my brain that the N64 got a port of that game in 1999. Also in 1999, the N64 version of Rayman 2: The Great Escape released before the PC version. Its remixed soundtrack was really solid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsas6lHXkdY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9Yvib1wTt8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDuL4f7T3cE
