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?

Battling against wild Digimon is a waste of time in the original game

And required for certain evolutions. Not fun times heh

Made a few mistakes on the way, and now you’re stuck with a Numemon, Sukamon, or another Digimon you don’t like? Just buy a Reset Radish to revert to an egg and try again (younger me would’ve loved that item).

Back in my PSX days, I would "save up" the poop so that my 'mon would evolve straight from a baby into Sukamon on the first missed potty. Since that evolution halved all stats, and a baby's stats were super low, it was easily a net positive as training a champion had much larger gains than a baby.

providing a fix to the “bonus try” in the gym

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

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.

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.
