[emulated] now playing

Please list recent games you have enjoyed playing under an
emulated environment. Please don't abuse this slightly
ambiguous description and consider your room to be an
emulation of a room in some other setting, and hence any
game you play being 'under an emulated environment'. I am
very sensitive, don't hurt my feelings. Furthermore, I
apologize for the ambiguous thread header, I don't want it
to be too long.

SO! use brackets to indicate emulator

previously: do don pachi [mame]
previously: XCOM ufo defense [dosbox]
previously: Dark Sun 2 [dosbox]
now: dark stalkers [mame]

(I'm bored, and need to be MORE lazy so I stop boring YOU
with these threads.)

Wonderboy but I forget the emulator it run under. It might
have been MAME but it was a long time ago so I forget.

Yes but the very first wonderboy game. I was addicted to
the music more than the game when I was a kid. It is more
nostalgia now.

That's pretty cool. I really remember the music to some
great games too: Star Control 2 (PC) and super metroid
(SNES). Super metroid I still fire up now and then in znes
just to get a first-hand feel for the environment and music
again.

Star chase or whatever zone in Sonic 1 is really nice. I
love playing that game just for the nostalgia it evokes
(just like braindance said).

Sonic 2 is the best one IMO, though I had a lot of fun
getting all chaos and hyper emeralds with all three
characters in the combined sonic 3 + sonic and knuckles rom.
If you like these games, try that some time! Like I said
it doesn't have the color of the sonic 2 levels, but there's
a lot of quality and fun anyway, and definitely with the
task of getting all of that shit, lots of gameplay!

I haven't been playing anything of late and you probably
already know this but I'll say it anyway: a new version of zsnes
finally came out the other day, over 2 years after than the
previous one. The games I last played on emulators were
Super Puzzle Fighter II [mame] and Pushover [zsnes],
both of which are most excellent.

I didn't know that!! thank you very much! I have been using
one of their 'work in progress' versions for a while, and it
rendered using GL textures, which resulted in a great
framerate boost on my machine. I'll check out those games
shortly, thanks!

I like this old arcade platformer called Black Tiger. You
kill orcs and frogfaced mummies with tongues of flame. Plays
on MAME.

This thread has inspired me to download hella SNES games
tomorrow. Thank you. And thank YOU, horsefactory, for that
link, because I do not keep up to date on ANYthing.

I ran through the first Donkey Kong Country game today. A
few observations-

1- the controls are fucking TIGHT. It's always your fault if
you fuck up. The characters react as fast as you can think.

2- the game has some really annoying spots that drove me ape
(get it?!?)

3- it's aweslime.

Pushover is pretty fun, thanks! You should check out lost
vikings for genesis some time.

i could not agree more, donkey kong country is superb, it's
so fast and smooth.. those first levels in the jungle are
great for all my "speed" needs!

btw, i got metroid prime 2 this christmass from my
girlfriend =D! im loving the soundtrack even more (brinstar
remix in the water environment is so fucking great)

I love how the game starts. So easy, controls like a dream.
But I forgot how TOUGH it gets later on... maybe I'm rustsy
from playing modern games where precision isn't all that
important, but I really got owned during the first few snow
levels.

I saved a state near the end of Krem-Croc Industries... I
couldn't take the heat.

Great memories of winter '94. This game is a real gem.

Yeah the snow levels where still quite an chalenge, the game
keeps its nice flow even as it get's harder though, often in
mordern games the "chalenge" becomes more of a boring pain
in the arse, in donkey kong the flow is still on all the
way!

tomorrow morning im gonna plug in the snes and play some
donkey, after i have explored the world in mp2 that comes
after Torvus bog (theres a big risk i get stuck in mp2
though) =D
