Anybody still play Doom and Doom 2? Man I don't know what it is about the gameplay and art design but I keep coming back to those games all the time.

Yes, I play one or the other every other year, pretty much whenever a new release or mod comes out. They're my happy place.

Didn't know it existed and then went and watched some on Youtube. Wild stuff.

Yup. I play those and Brutal Doom. The originals can be clunky but if you are using a source port the games are still fun today. Granted, I am biased, because I don't play new games.

I just discovered The Unseen N64 mod for Doom 1 and 2. Plays beautifully. Brutal Doom is also fantastic, I agree. I hardly play anything new myself.

Playing through Phantasy Star 4 for the first time on my channel. Got to the Terror Trio in the Air Castle and got TPK'd. Brutal battle.

Not gaming, but still cool...

C64 was the first system I really remember playing, in the late 80s. We had a 2600 but I don't really remember much on that besides Pitfall and ET. C64 had River Raid, Spy Hunter, Karateka, that Bruce Lee game, Summer and Winter Olympics, Ghostbusters, so much good stuff.

Wishing I could descend into the Stygian Abyss right now.

I haven't played it in decades, but just learned that it's been ported to Unity and the Godot engine. The former port, UnderworldExporter, is older and likely more playable, while UnderworldGodot is newer and less playable.

Also, I just spent the last few months playing through The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall in Daggerfall Unity. It scratches a similar itch and is 100% playable and complete (and the game, itself, is free). I highly recommend that if you want some old school dungeon crawling action.

What is this sorcery?

After 10 years of development, the emulator that lets you play NES games in full 3D has been fully released

3dSen, the amazing emulator that lets you play all the NES games in full 3D, has left Early Access and has been fully released.

Edit: I just spent an hour with it. I played a little Super Mario Bros., Excitebike, Wrecking Crew, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Mega Man and Ghosts 'n' Goblins. Some games (like Punch-Out) are transformed more than others. The graphics were a little disorienting because I'm so used to the games in 2D, but they all play exactly the same. It's definitely neat and fun to play around with, but I think that I'd prefer to stick to playing them in 2D, for comfort and nostalgia reasons. This could be help younger people get into these older games, though.
