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:

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!

Holy crud. Not going to lie, still shaking.
I was getting ready to give up on this and use save states (i had dropped two at the hardest moments of this run).

This probably took in excess of 12 attempts, and it wasn't even, with each attempt I got further. No. My 2nd attempt got me to stage 8 out of 9 and I fluffed a jump, it took about 5 more attempts before I was able to get back to stage 8. On that run, I fluffed a reasonably easy jump...

Eventually I made it to the stage 8 boss, who, is the biggest challenge as he can kill you in a single hit.

But it is done now, and I can finish off the mastery with some significantly less intense and stressful challenges.

Últimamente, y gracias a la página #RetroAchievements, estoy acercándome de nuevo a los juegos de la generación de GameCube, Dreamcast, PS2, etc. Y estoy disfrutando un monton con títulos como "God of War", "Ratchet & Clank" o "SoulCalibur". Estoy, en definitiva, retomando el interés por el videojuego y me encanta.

Por cierto, mi perfil en RetroAchievements, por si os entra curiosidad:
