What are you currently playing?

Postby djcarlos on Sat Jan 27, 2007 6:50 pm

Apologies if there is already a "currently playing" thread....I couldn't find one here, but I spotted one on the Games TM forums.

I'll start us off with my "current" list...

Sensible Soccer 2006 (it takes a LONG time to win all those leagues & cups!)
Gran Turismo 4 (ditto)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (two player co-op with the wife)

...and about to replay Metal Gear Solid again.

Yes I know they are all Playstation or Playstation 2 and all you Sony haters probably now hate me....but I don't care.

And I actually quite like Sensi 06 even though it got panned.

So there. 8)

PS I have actually just installed The Ur-Quan Masters, so that's about to get underway too. All this AND I have time to work?

I'm currently on my annual playthrough of Monkey Islands 1 and 2, but apart from that I'm dipping into WoW: The Burning Crusade now and again, and the perennial character slaughter of Angband.

I've had far too much college work to be playing for long periods, but I have been playing around with MAME a lot. The games I am currently playing are:

- Rad Mobile
- Outrun
- Aero Fighters 1, 2 & 3
- Jurassic Park
- Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara
- Dragon Blaze
- Dragon Spirit
- Dragon Sabre
- Dragon Gun

You can probably tell from this list that I'm still obsessed with dragons! :D

I love Angband, me - I won it twice last year, with a High-Elf Ranger and a Dunadan Warrior.
I think I'll have to stop buying games for a while though. Take a look at this list of "works in progress"

PC: Medieval- Total War, Icewind Dale series, Rogue Trooper
Xbox: Freedom Fighters, Fahrenheit, Mace Griffin, Mercenaries
360: Prey, Tomb Raider: Legend, Oblivion, Gears of War, LotR, Dead Rising
GP2X: Doom, Heretic, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Beneath a Steel Sky, The Ur-Quan Masters

There's more. I seem to have been having trouble maintaining my attention span long enough to see many games through to the end lately. Though I did finally get around to completing X-Men Legends last week, after having owned it for about a year.
Why retro? Because you never forget your first love.

As I said in a lost post, I was playing Sonic Spinball to re-acquaint myself. Since then, I'm playing Final Fight in the Retroleague and trying out Vanguard on the PC too.
