#gunnac — Public Fediverse posts

Saturday morning. Must be time for another #WhatImPlaying update.

#ForzaHorizon6 - I'm still plugging away at this one, although I can feel my interest beginning to wane. That's not a bad thing I guess, I've put some 40+ hours into it so far and I've mostly enjoyed that time, but unlike previous entries in the series it's just not grabbing me to continue past the big end-game races.

#007FirstLight - I think I'm about half way through this. I suck at stealth and I'm noticing the further through it I get, the quicker I am to resort to just beating folks up. Still, I'll definitely see the end of this one. Drove a bin lorry; GOTY2026.

#GunNac - I started and finished this NES schmup over the week and just wanted to highlight it a little. I was looking for something to play on my new Anbernic RG477v and this was just supposed to be a game to see if I had the NES shaders set up correctly; 2 hours later I hit credits.

#Videogames

Finished #GunNac. 

Really enjoyed it and I think it might have just opened up a new genre of #Videogame to me. 

What a gem.

#RetroGaming

Just stumbled upon a #Schmup by the way of #GunNac and I can't stop playing it. I don't typically go in for these games (although this will be my third in a year so maybe that's changing), but this is an absolute joy to play. 

#RetroGames

Have I done #TenGamesToKnowMe here yet? I forget.

If I have, this is an updated version for 2023. Here's mine, in no particular order.

* Centipede (my favorite game ever. Arcade version! Lemme shoot those bugs!)

* Black Widow (also the arcade version - I'm totally hooked on this one too, and it was a more recent discovery. When I go to an arcade with retro machines, I basically just want to play this and Centipede the whole time.)

* Wolfenstein 3D (a classic, still playable. Who doesn't love killing digital Nazis?)

* Diablo (1, 2, 3, 4, Immortal, any. Just choose one and I love it. What a series. Hooked.)

* Gun Nac (my favorite technical [ship based] shootemup-- if you don't count Centipede as a shootemup. A rare one for the NES. If you like shooters and get the chance to play this, even emulated, don't miss it.)

* Wizodd (I love roguelikes and indie games, and this one is both. Just a cool, simple game that's definitely beatable and replayable. But you won't beat it every time!)

* Mario Kart (another that it doesn't really matter the series, although the Wii one might be my favorite, closely followed by the SNES one. I definitely play the Wii one the most.)

* Doom (1 or 2, preferably. I feel like those are most classic, and those are the ones that got me hooked. More recent ones I'm not as much about, but those first two.. wow.)

* Beam Rider (I'm throwing this in because it's an amazing game for the Atari 2600. Maybe one of the best ones. I feel like it gets overlooked with all the other great ones on the system, River Raid, etc.)

* Beekyr Reloaded (okay, this is a weird one. I was tempted to put Neko Navy or Q-Yo Blaster or another modern indie shootemup that I love in here somewhere instead, but Beekyr is too rad. I love bees and I love shooters, so this one was definitely for me, despite its creator not really being happy with its port.)

Those are my ten, and I'm sticking with them. (At least for today 😂). There are SO MANY other games I love, but these ten are huge.
