haha yeah, seems like it! Luckily I only prompted mycophobia to enter 'suspicious' stance, and didn't trigger any Zone-wide alarms :D

Nice, TTJO! And yeah, clear's the best. (Sadly my GBA is the standard purple as it was a gift. Still a great colour and platform though - being able to play GBC and GBP games on it was a real boon, too)

12+ Final Fantasy 7 for the Playstation 4 (All Pro Gym Challenges, All Hard Chapters)

big deal
Sep 10, 2017

i assume you mean the remake bcuz of "all hard chapters." the title is actually "Final Fantasy VII Remake." i'll allow a 7 in place of the roman numeral but if you leave off the remake it will gently caress up my imp games beat database.

1. Resident Evil 3 Remake
2. Super Mario 3D World/Bowser's Fury
3. Deus Ex
4. Persona 5 Strikers
5. Nier Replicant
6. Resident Evil: Village
7. Mass Effect 1: Legendary Edition - Paragon, romanced Liara, Sentinel
8. Mass Effect 2: Legendary Edition - Paragon, didn't cheat on Liara, Infiltrator, all DLC done
9. Mass Effect 3: Legendary Edition - Paragon, synthesis, stayed with Liara, all DLC done
10. Episode of Yuffie
11. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
12. Halo 3 Co-Op (replay)
13. Halo 4 Co-Op
14. Yakuza 4
15.The Great Ace Attorney Adventures
16. Quake

Not as good as Doom 1 + 2, but level design is still top notch. The weapon selection is a little lame considering half the weapons are just better versions of older weapons. Episode 2 felt like it gave me the most trouble, and I really enjoyed episode 4. Final boss kinda just blows though.

not to sound like a certain uncle, but i swapped out the shell and it was really easy. tons of cool stuff available online for cheap. i also switched out the screen, which was more hassle, but the payoff is incredible and turns it into one of the best handheld gaming systems known to mankind.

Oh wow! I hadn't heard that you could swap out the screen for a better one! Do you have any photos, by any chance? That sounds great

I have the screen swap too (although my GBA is out for repairs), it's the FunnyPlaying IPS screen and it looks amazing. Basically it's exactly twice the resolution of the GBA screen both vertically and horizontally so everything is scaled up exactly and it's super bright and vibrant. It's not super expensive either

I got an IPS screen like Pablo, make sure to get the latest one (V2 I think). I got mine off ebay along with the shell. When you order a new shell and you're putting in a screen as well, I recommend buying a pre-cut one. Otherwise you have to do some cutting of your own to fit it. You can just install the screen as-is, but if you do some very simple soldering you can use Select + L/R to adjust the brightness. I always preferred the regular GBA to the GBA SP, and with a new screen it's unbeatable. There's tons of cool shells out there, some really nice clear ones I want to get later on.

Quake Rerelease: all content in Nightmare difficulty

Domain of the machine holds up fairly well in nightmare, it doesnt spam as many monsters, but theres still a couple cramped areas, and they still drop multiple shamblers here and there. Overall tho, its a billion times better than any of the previous expansion packs and base quake. now, onwards to better, fan created, content.

i wasnt sure what brand to get for the GBC so i went with this one today, im trusting you pablo. im not always going to play my gameboy games on the severely motion blurred b/w screen like an insane retro hipster but it was a fun novelty to play a game like that after over 20 years of way better quality lol

great ace attorney 1&2

this was cool, its basically one big double length ace attorney game which lets it have a lot more going on in the main plot, at the expense of the first game feeling kinda slight since all the payoffs are backloaded into game 2. don't think it ever quite hit the highs of AA3 but it's my second favorite for sure.

Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations.

Looked back on when I finished the other games in the trilogy. Ace Attorney in 2016, Justice for All in 2018, and now Trials and Tribulations in 2021. After 3 games in 5 years, I've gone out and paid full price for Great Ace Attorney for some inexplicable reason.
