I’m going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I’ll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023’s repertoire of video games?

      I play these old games on browser emulators, so I’m limited to what the sites offer unless I want to do more involved stuff. Also for semi-related reasons, I find aiming to be a big problem with a keyboard, so I can’t get into Super Metroid on my computer for example. In the NES Metroid, the limitations of the NES gamepad make for excellent keyboard controls. Not being able to aim sideways seems annoying if you’re used to Super Metroid, but it’s great if doing so with your computer sucks.

        Also the difficulty curve and confusion with figuring out where I am prevent me from getting fully sucked into the game, which is great if you like short play sessions.

        Sounds like a USB or Bluetooth capable controller would make a great upgrade for you!

        I’ve always wanted to try making my own graph paper map for Metroid or one of the old-school Dungeon Crawler games. It’s been a long time since I’ve played a game where I took paper notes lol.
