Just got this bad boy yesterday and I'm like a kid at Christmas! 😄 The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike... Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I'm enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is simply magnificent.

I have an RG353V and I freaking love this thing.

The past few years I barely played games at all. It's only when I got my little device that I noticed how much I liked playing anywhere: On my couch, on my seat, in my bed or during travel.

It really reignited my love of games.

What have you been playing? I guess it's all old retro games?

[–] FriendOfFalcons@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, a lot of retro games, especially from the SNES: Super Metroid, LoZ AlttP, the Mario All Stas Collection.

But also like GBA games like Pokémon RomHacks or Mario vs Donkey Kong.

But I also really enjoy playing some Portmaster games. I actually spent most of my time now playing Shovel Knight lol. But I also have fun that Sonic fan games are easily installed. I played a bit the Sonic fan game Sonic Robo Blast 2

Oh hi Sarah Silverman, get out of my head...

On the bed, on the floor
On a towel by the door
In the tub, in the car
Up against the mini-bar
