I think I'm a sucker for colorful games like Mega Man 8 on Sony #PlayStation. IMHO, other Mega Man games aren't quite like this one—it's kinda special to me. I just wish it were a co‑op game; that would be amazing. Our family would love to play it!

To be honest, this is my first time seeing your YouTube. So how did I end up here in Retro-Gaiden? 9 days ago I asked AI where the retro gaming community is on Mastodon, and it pointed me to this server. That means this server is popular enough that even AI knows about it… so congrats!

It's really regretable that original Goku's voice in Dragon Ball is female, the macho muscle with higher than Alto in speaking voice is a bit jarring 😵‍💫

I prefer dub mostly, except for anime that don't have them like Gurazeni, then I watch the sub one -- I also not fond of the "high pitch" VO. However if the original VO were normal like most of japanese NHK Documentary then it's fine, but too bad I don't see any 😅

These controllers are my pride and joy—the 8BitDo SN30 Pro and 8BitDo Pro 2. Been using them on Mac, Windows, and Android for years. Do you have a favorite controller too? Share it with me if you don't mind.

Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers (PlayStation). We play this game on Samsung DeX, like in this video. Charming game if you have relatives aged 10 or under. 😊

While most might not recognize it's fun, my friends and family love The Flintstones on Sega Mega Drive (Gebesis). The first hurdle was hammering the snake's head to climb to the top, and we laughed a lot at that challenge—it took us by surprise.

Yes, I can relate. Where I grew up, you're expected to maintain a "public face"—politeness, consensus, harmony over honesty. Express your true feelings freely, and you face real consequences. So you learn to keep things in, while deep down you are more than what people think you are. Just like the lyrics of "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera, from Mulan.

thank you. As of right now, IMHO, the internet is quite saturated with forums, chat groups, communities, apps, etc.— but everything feels shaky. One day it's there, the next it's gone. One day people say A is the right one, the next day A is wrong. So finding our tribe feels even more important now than before.

2026-03-27 15:06:54 UTC

Mastodon, Day 4. I never thought joining an instance would feel so different from other instances in the fediverse—but it does. I think I'm starting to "get it" now, compared to years before. Finding your own direction takes time, and finding your tribe takes even more. I hope I find mine.

Check out this screen recording of Street Fighter Pocket on a PlayStation emulator. It's Ken in action—and the credits page after the fight is absolutely worth a watch.

LOL, that's true, but beating this game is so satisfying for me—however, you need patience 😅

2026-03-26 13:26:14 UTC

Aladdin is a really nice game. I played it on both Sega and Nintendo platforms, but I prefer the Sega version. The first few levels are very inviting—the scenes aren't boring, and there's so much to learn about the game mechanics without anyone shoving it at you.

Mastodon — I was on and off this place for years, not because I disliked it, but because I never had a clear direction when creating those accounts. But these past two days have been an eye‑opening experience, since I had a clear direction even before joining. I can’t promise anything, but compared to before, I’m having a lot of fun now.

problem is now I exclusively play games on android, it's been few years, still have my pc and mac sure, but I rarely touch those. I even use winlator (windows emulator for android) to open Audacity & Adobe Photoshop software. Your suggestion, I think I would love to play that game as I check on youtube it's fantastic hack and slash side scrolling game, very much my liking.

I've played some of N64 emulator on android, and it's decent, solid 6 for me, but my favorite still Disney's Tarzan, the game mechanic and the control feels amazing -- still not beat that game yet though

oh.... you know what, I live in an odd country where when I was a kid, some of the TV channel will still plays old black and white Jackie Chan movies (around midnight) -- I watch those a lot, cause I like action-comedy genre. So growing up Jackie Chan are easily become one of my favorite kung fu actor. And the dubs, are just awful and unsync, LOL.

all the musical in this movie are brilliant to be honest, not one that I dislike. But the story is just the cherry on top, a boy that feels he don't belong to anywhere seeking a place to be (kinda like me when I grew up). So I relate a lot and this become my all time favorite movie.

2026-03-26 03:15:15 UTC

- reply

YES! The movie is great, I love it too, but the game I think it do the justice, so I encourage you to try, maybe it's not the best but a fun one to play I can assure you that.

2026-03-26 02:54:06 UTC

In my college years, I played this game -- Disney's Hercules — numerous times on a Windows laptop back then. Years later I moved to Mac, but I missed this game a lot. Never knew I'd find it again on PSX (PlayStation) two days ago; all the fun memories came rushing back. I'm a happy man, LOL.

I see. And every boss in this game is hard to beat, man I wish it's eaiser 😅

Earthworm Jim—what can I say? I love this game, especially the funny bit where he takes his body out by pulling his head out first, then whipping his enemies. I've beaten quite a few Sega games, but I never beat this one. This is my only regret; it gets harder the more you progress. Maybe someday I'll beat this game…

Do you love Sonic? Sure I do, but I prefer Knuckles any day. I love how Knuckles glides easily and is able to stick to any wall—a very unique ability that mimics Spider‑Man. Also, red is my favorite color, LOL.

After loving Street Fighter EX2 Plus, I remember wanting a portable SF game to play wherever I went, so I bought SF3 on iOS in the App Store. Then years later I eventually moved to Android. Sadly, I didn't see any SF3 in the Play Store—I searched for weeks—but instead SF4 showed up. After playing it a couple of times, I was hooked. What a treat.

Oh, really? I can imagine the yelling part—I've seen a friend with siblings doing that. And the drama is bad and sad, so I get what you're saying. Fortunately, my friends and family are super cool and calm, even if it means game over. LOL, they see it as a fun activity, not as competition in any way. So in the end, we clock games by doing co‑op, or even single player and switching whenever someone loses a life.

Woohoo! Yes! And the underwater level is such a tricky place, especially for new players (family and friends) who are still learning how to navigate swimming. I love the look on their faces: "How do I move in here?" 🤣

2026-03-25 07:52:59 UTC

World of Illusion (Mickey & Donald for Sega Genesis) is such a cool co‑op game and fun to play. We beat it many times. I’ve played it with friends and family. Too bad it’s very short—and I’ve never been able to beat the game in single player using my favorite character, Donald, only Mickey.

Cool! Like you, I think emulator is amazing because of the possibility of gaming an old games in a new device (like Mac, Windows, and Android) and I get what you're saying about achievement, that's such a great thing to have. To be honest I've been installing and testing dozens standalone emulator from GBA to Nintendo Switch, from Mac, Windows and now Android -- and for me the journey is amazing, while the destination is what I aim for. I hope this is not confusing to read, LOL.

bots and AIs are everywhere nowadays very hard to distict them from human, even twitter becoming weird after being bought by Elon, IMHO social media in general are more more absurds rather than social like in the early days. So I couldn't agree more, Mastodon is a breath of fresh air, especially now.

2026-03-25 03:17:09 UTC

And honestly, I don’t know why, but Tiny Toon Adventures has been one of my favorite Sega games. I’ve beaten it many, many times. Maybe I love the playfulness of the game, the superb controls, the slow, steady difficulty added each level, and the colorful backgrounds!

I've played just about every Street Fighter game (except SF5). My favorite is still Street Fighter EX2 Plus—I’m not sure why, since I usually prefer 2D over the boxy 3D of that era. Tied for second are SF4 and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo.

From my experience, Yaba Sanshiro is better than Saturn.emu, though compared to PSP it still has a long way to go—usable at best. If PSP is a 9.5, Saturn is a 5.5. And for the record, I play not just on the phone itself but also on Samsung DeX.

2026-03-24 17:15:22 UTC

After a couple of months playing Saturn emulation on Android, I switched to PS1 yesterday and fell in love instantly. Hoping this one lasts—just like my years‑long love for Sega and PSP emulation.
