The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
So... the purpose of this thread. Nominate a game.... preferably one that will be easy for people to get gold of (whether by rental, emulation, download, or whatever), and the rest of us will try it out.
I'd start the ball rolling by nominating the following:
UFO: enemy unknown (can be downloaded off the net somewhere)
QuazatronParadroid (get a C64/Spectrum emulator and rom)
> Meka, what did you think of UFO?
I'm enjoying it. Love the missions, but keep getting shot at by those pesky aliens. Nice learning curve though, think I'm beginning to get the hang of it!
Oh, and when are you likely to be on MSN?

Probably this evening. Then again, I never really know!
But I just remembered part of the URL, and have managed to find the link anyway:

They only have SNES roms, but a decent selection of them.
Wonder Project J is an interesting game, haven't played it for long yet, but it's different.
Oh, and when are you likely to be on MSN? I'm gonna ask you for those emulator sites at some point.
But you'd be be wrong.
And there's no sound. I'm gonna go try out some different emulators later.... and I'm going to find a copy of Dark Sceptre. It had me addicted when I was younger, so it must be good ;)
And for some reason (really must stop starting sentences with 'And'... it's terrible style..), it never seems to be as much fun playing emulated games as it is playing them on the real console. Wonder why?....
By the way: http://www.snesfreak.com/roms.html
Small, but excellent list of SNES roms there. Earthbound, Harvest Moon, Metroid, all the greats.
And a Hentai Game. :0)
> Ah yeah, Harvest Moon.
It's a farming simulator. I'd be interested to see

Not to everyone's tastes, but everyone has to
> play it.
I played this on Gameboy, very enjoyable, I have the SNES version emulated, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
