I picked up a Game Boy Micro for £25 brand new a couple of weeks ago so I've been playing a few games on that - F1 2002, FIFA '07, Sims 2 & Star Wars Episode 3 Revenge of the sith.
On the Megadrive I've been playing the 2 EA rugby games! They're actually great fun but really hard. Also been playing Spot goes to Hollywood.
For the PCE I've been playing Star Parodier, Wonder Boy Monsters Lair, Davis Cup Tennis and quite a few more.

Forgot to mention i've just started Day of the Tentacle on PC. I've got a fair few Lucasarts games that i haven't got round to playing yet, i don't really like using the PC for games, i get distracted too easily when i get stuck and end up screwing about on the internet all night instead  |

DOTT is one of my favs and I love the way you can play Maniac Mansion within the game itself. Just this day finished Grim Fandango which was fun if a little easy. |

I've got a few more to have a crack at when i finish DOTT, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango and Full Throttle. I really enjoy Lucasarts games but i wish they were on a console instead of my PC.

Currently I am playing Gears of Wars and OutRun Coast to Coast for PSP. I recently finished Castlevania Portrait of Ruin, but sadly someone stole my DS with the game.

OR2006 is the first game that is really making me dislike the analog "nub". I simply can't play the game as well as I can on Xbox. Still an excellent title, though. Sorry to hear about your loss  |

Lets hear about any games your playing at the moment, anything not on sms, and what you think of them  Can be for a new or old console, just thought it would be a good way to let others know about good or great games available, widen the horizons from just sms a little bit. I'm currently playing Ninja Gaiden on xbox, its supposed to be one of the best games on the system, and was highly scored by all the magazines, so I had high hopes for it. And it really is great... at first. You can pull of cool moves like running on walls, back flips, you've got a sword to slash up enemies in good old bloody gory fashion. Its a real graphical showcase for the console too, it all looks great, and I love the ancient Japanese setting. But the game is so unbelievably hard, and the camera is so awkward, hiding the enemies from you a lot of the time. Its such a disappointment that a brilliant game has to be messed up with such a crazy difficulty level. But despite being killed all the time, I'm still drawn back to playing it, well after a bit of a break from nearly throwing the pad out the window that is. Keep at it! I would recommend playing through the game on "Ninja Dog" difficulty; after that, the game is a little easier even on the higher difficulties because you'll become better at the combat and game flow. I have the updated "Black" version, so if you have the original release I'm not entirely sure if there is a "Ninja Dog" difficulty. Also, keep in mind the difficulty is intentional - I read somewhere that Team Ninja wanted players to actually master the game rather than just mash on buttons to get through it. And finally, remember to block - a lot! I think once you complete the game a couple times, you'll come to appreciate it as a masterpiece. I'm going to play through it again once I'm done with my current non-SMS game, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Anyone else played this? I've already wasted 60 hours of my life on the game that I'll never get back, but it's just so darn addictive becoming a Jedi Master/Sith Lord! |

I've been buying lots of Xbox games lately.... trying to buy some of the last few games that intrest me. I have like ten or so left. The next time I get a crappy check at work I'll buy a few more games. I've been enjoying Bloodrayne 2, and Taito Legends is a fun little complitation of classics. The second one is in the mail, and I'm very happy it runs with no problems on a US Xbox.  Can you keep us posted about Taito Legends 2? I'd really like to get it if indeed it runs fine on a North American Xbox. |

Are you playing this through DOS Box or are you actually playing it on an old computer? |

I really like Ninja Gaiden, but the difficulty is just a bit too hard for me. I've got the original version, think I might have to get hold of the Black release too, I'd rather play it on the easier setting and enjoy it rather than getting annoyed at dying so often.

I'd really like to get it if indeed it runs fine on a North American Xbox. I got it a couple days ago. It is a really good complitation, and it DOES work on a US Xbox. Highly reccomended, but good luck finding a copy, espically a cheap one and someone who will ship overseas for you. cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-TAITO-Legends-2-for-XBOX_W0QQitemZ190131587428QQihZ009QQcategoryZ90850QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemYou might want to see if he'll ship to the states, and let him know it WILL work with a us console. |

Are you playing this through DOS Box or are you actually playing it on an old computer? I haven't got a clue, i'm not very computer literate . I'm playing it on the same PC i'm using now, i just put the CD in and it installed, an icon came up, and off i went. |

Yeah, just found out the original release doesn't have the easier setting. BUT...if you can make it far enough to upgrade your Dragon Sword to level 2, apparantly you can jump forward + Y (Flying Swallow technique) constantly and the game is much easier (not so in Black, though  ) |

Thanks for the info! I might just end up getting the PSP version...looks to be pretty much the same game selection. |

I have to spend all my points on the health potion things, not had enough spare to upgrade the sword. I've stopped playing it now, I'll get the Black version at some point and play that instead.
