when Covid startet, I really started going back to gaming.
I also got myself a #nintendoswitch...

the games i played in the pandemic (so far) are:
- Monkey Island 1-3 (all on Linux - 4 wasn't so much fun, I never finished it (yet))
- Southpark - Stick of truth (Linux)
- Max, the cursed Brotherhood (switch)
- Sam & Max save the world (Switch)
- Zelda Link to The Past (SNES on the Switch - yes I used timeshiftings - else it's would not have been possible)
1/x

- Super Mario Bros 1 (SNES on Switch, but with time shift function sometimes)
- Super Bomberman R (Switch)
- Oceanhorn (Switch)
- Oceanhorn 2 (Switch)
- The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch - GameBoy remake)
- Monsterboy and the cursed kingdom! (Switch)
- SouthPark - "The Fractured But Whole" (Switch)
Finished:
- #ReturnToMonkeyIsand
- Steamworld Dig 1

I also finished "Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry" on the switch.

Some nice jokes, but some of the quests were really hard to solve, or let's say not so logical, so I had to look it up...
Let's see how part 2 will be

Finally, I finished Leisure Suite Larry - Wet dreams dry twice (on Nintendo Switch)
In the beginning I hated the new controlling, compared to the first one, but at the end it was good!

Most of the quests were okay to solve, but on some of them I didn't had the patience...

Who thought, that there will be THIS marriage at the end? Not me!

#gaming #pointandclickadventure #larrylaffer #NintendoSwitch

So if you ever see this games again for a real cheap price, I paid 6€ for both in a bundle, grab it!

I played ~15h for part 1 and ~25h for part 2

(it seems I'm not the fastest quest solver, if you ask #howlongtobeat)

And I finished another game, Figment from Bedtime Digital

This game is made with so much love from the Danish team...
The pictures are hand drawn, the music is more like a musical...

The game is full of puzzles which you can most of the time easily solve. But there are also some action sequences....
So if you can find this game somewhere cheap get it! (Figment 1 was available on steam for free, just before Figment 2 was released) but it's also worth every penny you pay.

Spoiler: picture of the beaten end-boss

Oh and look what's on sale today....

After I saw in Valencia the 2 Gargoyles (see https://chaos.social/@joergi/110431655117489994)
I really wanted to play Gargoyle's Quest for Game Boy on my #NintendoSwitch

What I'm really wondering when playing such old games: how were people able to finish this kind of games without cheating?

I was only able to finish because of the time rewind functions in the Switch.
If you really finished Gargoyle's Quest on a Nintendo Game Boy: my deepest respect!

And another one finished
PORTAL from #valve on the switch
Not sure why I never played it on the PC, even I have it on steam....
But the text at the end was really tiny on the Switch

#retrogaming #gaming #NintendoSwitch #switch

And I finished another game on the #NintendoSwitch.

Zelda - Oracle of Seasons

What can I say, that game was really great. In the beginning it was easy, but for the last final boss Onox I had no chance without using timeshift functions.
No idea how kids have finished it back in these days without it.
Now it's time for Oracle of Ages

#retrogaming #zelda #oracleofseasons #oracleofages #mastodongaming #Nintendo #nintendoonline

Another one finished Dungeons of Dreadrock.
A very veeeery nice puzzle game, with some action elements.
If you fail too many times, you can get some hints from inside the game.
Also you have to go sometimes a level back to finish the current one.

Game is often on sale, just get it

#NintendoSwitch #gaming #gamesIfinished

After finishing "Zelda - Oracle of Seasons" I started wird "Zelda - Oracle of Ages".
The game was so much fun, and even you switch between times to solve some puzzles, it was always fair ( beside of the end boss, which I could only kill with the Switch time-shift function)

Some pictures of the end

Finally, I finished, after a real long time, all 5 episodes of season 2 of Sam & Max - beyond time and space.

3rd season will be released in spring 24 - I'm ready for it

#samandmaxbeyondtimeandspace #SkunkApeGames #pointandclick #NintendoSwitch

And another one for the books:
Ocean Heart.
A lovely 2D Zelda like game. Nice story, but it wasn't that hard to finish...
The difference to most of the games: you play a female heroine!

For the next months it will be finally Zelda - Breath of the wild

#nintendo #nintendoswitch #zeldabotw #zeldabreathofthewild

I REALLY love the Zelda series.
And playing now Breath of the wild is so much better than everything before...
I know for most of you it's really old....
So many old characters from the old games.. I'm really in love with this game.
I can't believe I waited so long to play it

(I guess I will not be able to finish it this year )

@joergi I did not have any love for the Zelda series but BOTW really blew me away, and sucked me in for over 200 hours! Hope you enjoy 👍👍
@tinmouth
How can you not love it? Great games , good stories ...
The first NES ones are too hard for me.
But starting with the SNES one, it's fun.
@joergi auf ebay leider viel zu teuer
@blotto
Deswegen spiele ich die Spiele ja auf der Switch
Da brauch ich nur die Mitgliedschaft und kann die Spiele kostenlos spielen.
@joergi This game was everything I played back in 2001. It took forever to find someone with a copy of Oracle of Ages and trade codes to unlock the true ending and all the bonus content. Highly recommend going through it again with the code to see the true ending! Oh, Oracle of Ages is also fantastic, highly recommend that one for a playthrough as well

@chrisn
I will play with the code (from Oracle of Seasons) The Oracle of Ages, I hope it's enough...
Or you mean I have to play it again, With the code? Isn't it enough to play oracle of Ages?
But my deepest respect you finished it on the original GameBoy without Time Shifting.

I still have also Ocarine of Time and the Majoras Mask to start with (N64 on Switch) - and then it's time for Breath of the wild
And I guess, when I will start with Tears of Kingdom, it's already #retrogaming 😂

@joergi It’s fine if you play Oracle of Ages with the code from Seasons, yes. The codes do slightly alter parts of the game, but you could look these changes up on a Wiki I guess.
@chrisn that would be no fun, I guess 🤣
