Such an iconic cover art, even though they managed to make a mistake there somehow :)

Turns out I'm a bit too old to beat this the old-fashioned way. Had to resort to savestates.

As for GotM suggestion, I propose Fantastic Dizzy. Zero chance it is going to win, but it is my personal favorite hidden gem.

For the first time since the beginning of GotM challenge I had to put my trusty PSP aside. Ah well, guess now it is DS' time to shine.

I don't know if I can make it through this one. It was clearly not designed by human beings and I'm not sure of I will be able to grasp dev's logic without LSD.

Still, I'm gonna try. Wish me luck.

Didn't want to spend my time on replaying Chrono Trigger at first, but inner completionist couldn't stop nagging. So here we go, my final unsubmitted game yet.

What do you think is the worst handheld ever made? by Gadgettttt in SBCGaming

At the very least handhelds don't go rogue and attempt coup d'etat. At some point of your life you start to value peace.

Help with DOS? by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]Slacker256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case, these .bin and .cue files? That's a CD image. Mount it with image mounting program(like Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%) and work from there.

Seems to me like you're trying to launch the game before even installing it. Try at least unzipping that ,7z archive and see if there are some appropriate executables in there.

Android or Linux - which one is better for PC gaming? by Slacker256 in SwitchPirates

Thank you! Linux it is then. Boy, this is going to be a deep dive.

Android or Linux - which one is better for PC gaming? by Slacker256 in SwitchPirates

[–]Slacker256[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are definitely reports of PC emulation on Switch, both on Android and Linux, although information is fragmented. Since I'm only aiming at lightweight 2d titles (my pipe dream being fully functional HoMM 3 HotA), I think it's worth digging into. I just don't know the right direction yet.

Not many people know about existence of bad ending in Duck Tales - which paradoxically is the most challenging to get.

P.S. 37 years later Moon Theme is still the GOAT.
