True that. I even enjoyed pong. 8 pixels, 3 of them moving ๐Ÿ˜

As the Atari was my last console, I never played a single Mario or Zelda...I have to admit that ๐Ÿ˜Š

not even emulated? we have some gaming history to catch you up on

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Nope. On wifey switch she has breath of the wild. Would've loved to play this (probably) but it's controller-only and I horribly suck with those. Only non-time-critical and no reaction-based games are okay-ish. I never understood how people can be pretty good in competitive fps with those things and watch those with awe.

I went from joystick to m+k. This is so wired in my brain, I never catched up with controllers.

So there's not much motivation to emulate ๐Ÿ˜‘

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

yeah i only do turn based games on emulation. i'm a quarter of the way through Xenogears (at the Aveh tournament, with the high speed text cheat on) on duckstation on my phone. i won't pressure you, just if you want to know some of my favorites i probably have a list somewhere

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Hehe, sure. Although my backlog is currently at 350 titles I really wanna play. The scarcity of the 80s and 99s really had its benefits...

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

just look up a list of the best playstation 1, snes, and genesis RPGs and cross off anything that looks shitty to you. You're not allowed to cross off any of the final fantasies until you've played chrono trigger, which is uncrossoutable. yeah i'm sure that's a word.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

But dude...those are pretty reaction-happy, and with a controller I barely manage walking reliably. Unless the emulators can do controller=>m+k-conversion, my frustration-tolerance would be tested tremendouly :-) But hey, i at least played FF-online on PC, if that counts a lil

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

oh yeah, i played them all on a laptop. there are a lot of turn based ones rather than twitchy ones. esdf for the d-pad, jkui for the xaby, h for L, L for R, and i think i put start and select on < and > too. not much use for the mouse besides mariopaint

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Turn based is fine with a controller. Not my favourite but manageable. Worth a shot I guess

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I mean I mostly play for the stories anyways

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Mee too. Or the gameplay, if that is excellent.
