101) Monster Attack The original EDF! Honestly this game already did so many things right, the whole formula is there. It's just very limited in terms of content. Only 25 missions and one class to play as. Feels very much like a proof of concept. But for a $20 Simple Series game this is great.

100) Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter This was fantastic, but I really don't have much to say about it. Similarly to the first remake this looked great and was a very faithful remake to the original. Loved the animations in particular. If you liked the first, you're gonna like this one even more.

Also did the thing. Honestly really hard to pick just 9 when there's so many genres and eras. Tried to confine it to games that got me into specific genres and somewhat changed my viewpoint on gaming, but there's plenty more.

97) Daisy's Crazy Adventure A really well done hack for Super Mario World. Not too high in difficulty but not too easy either. They did a great job constantly introducing new gimmicks and the soundtrack (stolen from other games tbf) is pretty neat too. Worth giving a look.

96) Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice Finally got around to playing this one. I really liked it, especially how the final case tied everything together in a really satisfying way. Also liked all the new characters kind a bit like Trucy and Klavier. Just didn't care for the Bracelet mechanic.

95) Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix After getting all Achievements on the vanilla version I had to do Final Mix too. That RA list was a true beast, demanding pretty much everything you can do in this game. But it was really fun. Now I just have to do a Level 1 run at some point ...

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

94) The Thing I never played this one before, but it's pretty neat. The squad mechanic is very ambitious and fun to use when you actually get the chance, but lots of times you're all on your own or only have like 1 companion. Later sections are also a bit frustrating. But overall a fun time.

93) Jak & Daxter The RetroAchievements list had a cool challenge run to collect 25 orbs or less over the course of the game and it was a nice spin on the game. Some sections were pretty annoying that way, but overall it added a nice layer of difficulty. Still a great game too!

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

92) Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando Still really fun! I think I still prefer the first one overall, but I really like how the series went forward with this one. The weapon leveling is a neat idea and introducing strafing adds to the combat system.

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

91) Ben10 (Sega Megadrive) If you're confused then for good reason, because this is a Russian Bootleg game for the Megadrive and it's complete shit. There are only three enemy types in this whole game and one combo you can do. And every enemy does the same singular attack. 🙂

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

90) Top Hunter: Roddy & Cathy Short 2D Brawler on the Neo Geo CD. Didn't do all that much for me, it definitely looked very charming, but the jumping felt very unresponsive and games where you can just infinitely continue with no consequences tend to not hold my interest for long. But yeah.

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

89) Tony Hawk's Underground Another Underground run! This time I went through a Zero Stats run, which is exactly what it sounds like. Basically a hacked save that prevents you from raising your stats and you start with zero. Makes some goals really tough but it was really rewarding to beat that way

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

88) Power Stone (Dreamcast) Played through the Dreamcast version too, which is pretty much the same but has more options and unlockable characters. Definitely the better option compared to Arcade. Still not HUGE on this game, but it's decent.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

87) Roboquest Really fun first person Rogue-lite with a banging soundtrack and a variety of characters and builds. Really fast paced and fun, been enjoying this in two player coop lately. Still didn't get old after multiple runs!

100

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

86) Ratchet & Clank Still a real banger of a game. I know later entries have more fluid combat, but I like that this one stands out as the more awkward one that has you cheese around with your weapons more. Also probably the best level design in the series?

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

85) Mortal Kombat Deception Back on PS2 this was always my favorite MK. Before online play having a lot of offline content was pretty important to me and this one offered a good amount of fun modes. Was also neat to revisit the Konquest mode which was a nice novelty idea.

140

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

84) Pepsiman Didn't think I would play this game ever again, but people voted it for Achievement of the Week, so I went through it again, lol. Took less than an hour, so didn't really hurt. It's a very simplistic game, basically the original temple run. Not much to say about it tbh.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

83) Darkstalkers 3 Bit of a technicality since I just beat Arcade Mode once. I played some Darkstalkers in my childhood but never got into the series. This replay didn't really motivate me to go further either. Just not really made for 2D fighters I think.

100

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

82) Power Stone (Arcade) Really cool to have finally checked out this game after hearing much about it. I probably should have played the Dreamcast Version for more content, but this is what I rolled on a Fighting Game wheel thingy, lol. Will check out the other one later. Pretty neat game.

100

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

81) .Hack//Quarantine Finally completed all of these games ... I had a decent time with them, but I can't say I was really blown away by the story. Feels like it's pretty incomplete if you don't watch additional anime on top of playing it. Gameplay didn't really evolve across the series either.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

80) X-Men: Mutant Academy 2 Played this game a bunch in my childhood,so it was cool to go back to it 25 years later or something. Probably not a good fighting game, but I can't help but enjoy it for a few rounds.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

78) Battle Monsters Quite a mediocre fighting game, especially since you can just stand on platforms and keep kicking down the A.I. since they don't get I-frames while jumping up. But it was fun for a few minutes, lol.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

76) Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PS2) Despite having grown up with this game, I never played the PS2 version before. It's definitely the better version, looking more appealing to the eye and having a bunch of unlockables. Still working on some of those actually! But I'll slowly chip away at it.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

75) Arc Rise Fantasia A pretty neat Wii JRPG that seems to have been under many people's radars. The Scenario Writer guy also worked on Tales of games before and it's very noticable with all the skits and stuff. Battle system is pretty unique too. Not a secret masterpiece, but I liked it.

210

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

74) Tekken 4 Far from my favorite, but this game has such a unique aura. The early PS2 aesthetics are strong in this one. And it introduced wall splats and characters like Steve and Marduk. Was interesting going back to it.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

73) The Last Blade (PS1) Seems like a pretty cool fighting game with a cool artstyle. Beat the story mode once, but I might try some other characters and stuff.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

72) Shrek Super Slam Got no words, this is bad.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

71) Tekken Tag Tournament Replayed this because I made this my 60th mastery on RetroAchievements. Big childhood favorite, still pretty fun! The A.I. is a bit too easy to abuse though, lol.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

I never actually played the original NES version of FF before and ... I sure don't recommend that one! Honestly, from a historical standpoint this is a pretty great game. Liked it more than the first DQ for sure. But it has lots of stuff that makes it a bit frustrating to go back to.

130

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 11/07/2026

Reminds me of this clip I once made in The Legend of Dragoon 😂

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

69) Final Fantasy V: Advance FFV consumed my last few weeks. I was joining the Four Job Fiesta Event and ended up doing four runs to complete the achievement list. FJF is such a cool way to replay this game because ironically being restricted adds so much replay value, no run is exactly the same.

140

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

68) Warhammer 40k: Darktide Played this a whole bunch when it hit PS Plus. Think I got two characters to level 30, or close to it anyway. Will probably play more of it at some point. Like the mix of melee and shooter combat quite a lot.

100

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

No surprises here, I guess.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

67) Sly Cooper and the Thievous Racoonus Replayed this one after not even that long of a break (played the PS5 emulated version not too long ago) but it was fun once again. Got 100% again and went for all the retro achievements. Should get to Sly 2 some time.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

66) Lego Indiana Jones 2 This one seems to be a bit of a black sheep in the franchise and I guess I can see why. It came out way to quickly after the previous one and having half of this game being dedicated to one of the worst Indy movies is certainly a choice. Way too many gimmick levels too.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

65) The Simpsons: Hit and Run I think I never fully beat this in my childhood and yeah, I can see why. It's just a whole shit ton of driving missions with very little variety. The world is charming and there are some good gags, but overall I didn't enjoy it all that much.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

64) Luna Abyss A pretty decent first person shooter that's only 30 bucks. Got a review code for it, so tried it out naturally. Feels like a mix of Doom Eternal (platforming) and Returnal (bullet patterns) to me, with some cool visuals. Just a fairly lackluster selection of guns.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

62) New Super Mario Bros. Wii Not quite done with this one yet, still got plenty of optional routes to take and coins to collect, but I saw credits at least. Fun game, I think it gets an unfair rep for being somewhat "bland", but I don't think it lacks character or anything.

120

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Now this makes me sad, lol

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

61) Disney's Tarzan (N64) Played this one a bunch in my childhood (though on PS1) and it was fun going back to it. Beat the entire game in a little over an hour without bothering to collect optional stuff. It's a pretty good platformer as was often the case for Disney stuff around that time.

130

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 30/05/2026

60) Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Never played this one before, but was surprised that it only adapts two out of all of the seasons (probably made sense at the time, didn't double check the release date) and still has so much content. It's a pretty decent game.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

59) Super Mario Advance First time I touched Mario Bros. 2, never really had much interest in it since it's literally just a reskin of another game, but it was decent. Skipped a bunch of levels via warp zone though. I guess I just don't care much for this one in the end.

100

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

58) Crash Bandicoot 2 Everytime I replay this one I think "maybe this time it'll be my favorite" but nah, it's always Crash 3. This one may be more focused on platforming, but the types of levels are also slightly repetitive and I miss the time trials and stuff. Still a great game!

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 24/05/2026

I know this is nothing new, but it's insane how much cooler the original Traveller's Tales intro was compared to the current one 😭

160

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

57) Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures I think ... I never played this one before? I only remember playing the second one on PS3, which was pretty decent I think. This one was okay, too. Just not the most exciting level design and some annoying rocket enemies later on. Got 100% here.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

56) Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution Pretty decent fighting game, but without much depth. Story mode is way too barebones unfortunately without any real cutscenes to speak of ... I was also stuck with the English voices which I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy.

100

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

55) Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga Played through this one pretty quickly to get points for a Wii event, but it was decent fun. Got me pretty nostalgic since I remember playing this one on PS2 back in the day. Wasn't interested in 100% this time, tho.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

54) Kingdom Hearts II Haven't played the original KH2 since I was regularly using my PS2 and I would never recommend playing this version, but it was nice going back to the basics again. Mostly did it because of the achievement list and German dub. Still need to do some post game stuff.

110

Marloges @marloges.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

52) Spyro: Year of the Dragon This one was always my favorite in the series as a child and yeah, it still is. The OST in this game is just full of bangers, I love the variety in this game (and the skateboarding!) and the bosses are really fun, too. Probably forever the best Spyro game.
