I reworked my #Retroachievements play activity and progress tracker to only account for "Progression" and "Win Condition" achievements. Now I'm feeling a lot more confident about finishing “Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons”. My estimated remaining play time dropped from 25 hours to 5 hours... 😅

I built a small progress calculator for #RetroAchievements using their API, and it's showing ~23h to beat LOZ Oracle of Seasons based on my progress speed. Compare that to 18h estimate from "Time to Beat"... this has been accurate to my feelings. I've been loving the @delta_emulator + Pocket Taco + RetroAchievements combination so far :)

I mentioned it a while ago when I played old Tiny Toons games, but I wanna mention it in general, as well:

"RetroAchievements" is a website that basically allows you to collect Achievements / Trophies in old games, before systems got achievement-systems, as long as your used emulator supports it.

I think it's a really fun idea, especially, of course, if you're an achievement hunter:

RetroAchievements

Adding achievements to your favourite retro games since 2012

Recently, after its adittion to the fantastic platform #retroachievements I'm replaying Wii catalog.

Wii had a fantastic catalog and playing it with Doplhin using a real WiiMote is amazing.

Dolphin team work is absolutely astonishing, thanks for let us enjoy two of my all-time favorite systems, Gamecube and Wii.

This last week has been an interesting week.

I can honestly say that the Ganbare Goemon series on the SNES, in its entirety, is absolutely worth playing.

Each game plays differently, but with a sense of familiarity.

Kiteretsu Shogun Magginesu and Kirakira Douchuu have the most similar game flows, but it only in that they are predominantly stage based 2D platformers.

The games get progressively more zany, in the best possible way and escalate in the silliest ways. I'll be doing a bumper presents on the other 3 games I haven't covered because each game deserves so much spotlight on them, and that isn't because I have spent the better part of nearly 48 hours playing these games!
