    Playing 5 games right now…

    • Mega Man (original NES version) - fast paced and better than I expected platformer

    • Lonely Mountains Downhill - calming and chill mountain biking game

    • Voices of the Void - silly and mildly aggravating at times but fun once you get into it simulator game

    • Sam & Max Hit the Road - funny point-and-click adventure game with puzzles that are fair and logical

    • Skies Of Arcadia - classic turn based RPG with an entertaining story can’t believe I never played it years ago

      My game tips for each game

      spoiler
      • Mega Man (original NES version) - keep shooting while jumping forward, keep distance from the bosses, time jumps based on audio cues
      • Lonely Mountains Downhill - take the shortcuts whenever possible
      • Voices of the Void - upgrade your server stability stat as soon as possible, use the toilet to restore stamina, buy shrimp packs
      • Sam & Max Hit the Road - read the game manual for minigame instructions, check each screen very carefully
      • Skies Of Arcadia - use gear grease in ship battles, use increm magic to increase attack, red and purple magic are strong against each other

      SoA is excellent but the random battles are too much. I’ve played it so many times over the years but never actually completed it!

        Yes the random battles in SoA do get kinda repetitive especially since many of them seem so easy and the game has you going back and forth on the world map with the same enemies that don’t level scale at all with the characters.
