Retro games are a constant in my life that I dip in and out of depending on what I'm doing with the pins and I assume there are plenty of others on here who like playing the old stuff so what are you currently playing/collecting and on what systems?

I'm on a big Sega Master System kick at the moment having re-worked the setup in my home office and have recently completed Golden Axe Warrior (fantastic Zelda clone) :thumbs:I'm now just starting Miracle Warriors: Seal of the Dark Lord which I think has the distinction of being the first console JRPG ever translated into English and released in the West, beating Phantasy Star by a couple of months. It's a brutally old school RPG with lots of level grinding required but I love that kind of stuff :cuckoo:

Also, if anyone has any Master System games they're looking to get rid of then give me a shout :thumbs:
 
Arcade STV. I have a crack at it every few years and am starting to get a bit better. I use the Darksoft multicart now as I sold my original a while back.

I can get about 1.8m on one credit this time round so can chain most of the first few levels and 100% the first five or six bosses. I’ve only just started allowing myself 3 credits to try and learn the next few levels but it gets very hard very quickly!
 
Not played much recently - though I did buy a cheap windows tablet and made a hand held mame machine with a decent sized screen. Played a bit of Invaders Revent, some Juno First and a spot of Astro Invader.
 
I was selling a generic jamma cab today and decided to soak test it by playing Wonderboy. I know some people can finish it in 1 credit so i wont say how many times i hit continue, but lets just say the cab was well and truly soak tested by the time i finished it :)

Its still one of my favourite games along side bubble bobble.

Oh yeah ! Still got mine boxed here from back in the day . Still works. 😁I remember my Dad coming home with it …. Great excitement … we played the Racing Car cartridge a lot , but favourite was the Stunt Cycle . It came with a unique accelerator controller , I think I could jump about 35 buses !
Did get an Atari later on but fond memories of the old TV game - as they were called then.

Some of the game were ok (I recall there was a sort of breakout clone called maybe wipeout).
But it didn have Space Invaders or PacMan (course I never rated the VCS PacMan either - Munchkin on G7000 however...)
 
I got one of these one Christmas ago - 40 games. I would definitely not recommend it. The controls are only OK, not great, and there's better and cheaper ways to play games.

But having said that I really like it, it's compact and really neat.

I take it on holiday, I often take it when we stay at my in-laws. I've even been known to take it camping. I'm always ready for a quick fix of Metal Slug.
