The second OUYA gets a MAME emulator, I'm buying one. I'm tempted to get it for the NES/SNES roms as is.Radioman970 said:I have about 40 gigs of MAME on a hard drive somewhere.I need to get that installed again. LOVE those old games.
I'm using the standard 360 analog controller. It works fine for classic arcade games, but I absolutely agree with you about classic fighting games. My friend and I both got this a couple years ago when the new Mortal Komabt launched:Chuck Anstey said:
I don't know about that. Ever hear of Touhou Project? I've been reading about it. Apparently, quite a few kids play it. One of the games is so hard that it took seven years before one guy in Japan finally cleared it.
You've played the original? You want to play the original before #2mattCR said:
Oh yeah, it doesn't look real great. But the crude graphics allow for huge areas that can be altered at your whim. you can make countless things out of the elements in the game. built and excavate, make doors windows furniture, ... boats, a castle with a moat of lava, saddle a pig and ride him across the land (lol) ... it's just endless. It helps if you like exploration and discovery games. I put in so many hours because the openness of it is my kind of thing. I do hope there will be a sequel with slightly better visuals and less of a random feel. I've found way too many huge cracks in the land with the same wooden old mine look, too many large sand castles, etc. More variety. Still, the land area I hear is something like 3 or 4 earth's worth so there's hopefully more to see on all that land.Edwin-S said:

I guess that's the appeal.

So true and sad. I didn't even get legos. It was the very early 70s and it was a canister of plastic buidling bricks (along with my Lincoln logs! remember them?) and my neighbor would come over and systematically steal mine. I remember his family giving me a pack of cheap diecast metal cars (which I always loved) and he'd end up with those as well. He'd scrap off the paint to make them look different but I know it was him. His collection suddenly getting much bigger.Aaron Silverman said:My son and his friends (elementary age) are obsessed with Minecraft. It's interesting to watch them make stuff (and blow it up).

My dad once gave my son a small set of Roy Toy logs, which briefly intrigued him.
