So, besides playing my usual array of games, I’ve added two interesting titles/series to my arsenal.
I’m currently playing through all 8 of the original Mega Mans. Why do I say playing instead of replaying?
Well, that’s because I’ve never played them despite a few moments of 2 and all of 9. I started Thursday afternoon. I finished Mega Man (1) this morning, and I’m currently on the second to last boss of Wily’s Castle in 2. I’m finding them WAY easier than I expected them to be.
I tend to fly through the robot masters on my first run and than have a bit of trouble on the Wily stages but still get through it relatively fast. I’d always heard they were hard, I mean, I’m playing with a fucking keyboard and I’m doing this.
The other new game added to my arsenal is a program called SWGEmu. Which stands for Star Wars Galaxies Emulator. Well, if you look up SWG, you’ll see that it’s an MMO(RPG) that’s still going. Well, if it’s still going why emulate it?
Well, because there was a patch called the Combat Update, that completely revamped the game, and many patches after that that changed it, and not, in the eyes of the players, for the better.
So this game is emulating the Pre-CU gameplay. The reason this is better is because SWG has now moved into the normal MMORPG area, with a crappy generic story and basic character development with little room for variation. Where as before, the game was one of the few MMO Sandboxes. You can combine classes however you wish, do whatever you want, group as you wish, create, explore, ANYTHING. It’s incredible how vast it really is.
I’m not very far, but I’m beginning to grasp how expansive everything is, that I can really make a name for myself as if I’m truly living in the Star Wars universe.
It’s really incredible.
