Favorite retro games? (lemmy.today)

I've been playing some retro games recently (PS1 and prior) and I've been discovering a lot of games that I never thought I would enjoy. Particularly 90s arcade shmups and arcade style sports games.

What are some of your favorite retro games that you always find yourself coming back to?

it was easily a net positive as training a champion had much larger gains than a baby.

As long as you don't do it for the first few generations! All training stations get silently upgraded if you train a Baby I or Baby II digimon there a few times each.

So now it's possible to actually hit all marks? Because I couldn't get it with fucking save states.

Yeah. In the original game, the slots are rigged so that you have a set chance to either hit three symbols in a row (40%) or three jackpots (10%), and if the guaranteed chance doesn't trigger, you automatically fail.

With the Maeson patch, you still have the rigged chances to win, but you can also attempt to win the minigame manually if the rigged chance doesn't trigger. Imo it's a bit too good (I liked it better the way the Randomizer handled it, by removing the rigged chances altogether and only allowing the player to win the minigame manually), but it's still an improvement on the original.
