I just hit 10 hours in Earthbound on my Anbernic RG280V. I'm looking forward to trying some more SNES games once I'm finished (Super Mario World, Street Fighter Turbo II, Zelda: Link to the Past, etc.).

Interested to hear what you all are playing? Or, what retro games are on your "to do" list?

I've started Earthbound maybe three times, and I've enjoyed it each time, but for whatever reason, I'd forget about it for a few years and start it over.

Right now I'm in the final stages of Final Fantasy V (Translated Super Famicom ROM). So far it's one of my favorite old RPGs. The pacing is perfect for me. When I get to a new area, I'm leveled enough to hold my own without grinding, but the bosses usually require a few attempts as I learn their weaknesses and tweak my strategy. The Jobs system is pretty neat because you can mix and match abilities.

I recently got sick and decided to play through ff2 (iv). I've owned it since I was a kid but never beat it.

I finished it in less than 24 real world hours.

I was astonished at the difference being an adult makes with regard to gaming.
