The nine games that had the most impact on me during my first 20 years of playing video games.
I dunno man. Ask me this question again in a few weeks and my mood will probably pick different titles for half of these.

A year later, I wanted to see if I could complete the recommended path in Paprium's Original mode using the Mega EverDrive Pro w/latest firmware. Recurring game-breaking bug happens in the Golden of Seas level. You can hear a character trying to be placed on screen but it never appears, preventing progression. Strangely, I encounter fewer game-breaking bugs using MEDP and the Mega Sg than I do with original hardware. I'd still recommend avoiding this method to play the game until more bugs are ironed out.
Just spent some time with Paprium on the MEDP in a Model 2 GEN/CD/32X system. A few notes on the current work-in-progress nature of the emulation: - Significant slowdown throughout the game - Visual glitches and animation errors - Seems like less characters on screen than typical

Got some accessories in. Installing the coin battery was easy. Pushing the M2 rubber screw through the hole was a bit of a challenge. Definitely should be good to go for storage. I've read that the 990 EVO Plus runs somewhat cool without a heatsink.

Received the @TakiUdon_ SuperStation One yesterday. This is my first MiSTer device of any kind. Excited to jump into it and hoping the learning curve isn't as bad as I've heard. This thing was super well packaged and is very well made.

It's... not pretty. I tried to manage this mess a couple of times and gave up.

The @trfightstick Octopus holy trinity is complete. These are some of the best arcade sticks I've ever used. They are unmatched from a compatibility standpoint and well worth the price. The few issues I've run into have been handled with care 🐙🕹️💙💚🧡 trfightstick.com/category/oc…
