Sonic The Hedgehog (as part of SEGA 3D Classics on 3DS)
CarmaGeddoN (PlayStation)
The classic CarmaGeddoN, PSX version, awesome.
Super Mario Bros. (Entertainment System)
Wario's Woods (Entertainment System)
A puzzle game where you play as Toad. Bombs drop from above and you have to combine them with creatures to clear the area before the ceiling lowers down and crushes you. It's pretty good, sure beats a lot of other similar puzzle games from back then.
Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo)
The Entertainment System game of the same name with a Super Mario Allstars makeover.
Sudoku portable LCD game
Sudoku
just regular Sudoku on paper
Bomb Jack (SG-1000)
Perhaps not the best version of Bomb Jack ever, but a good and enjoyable one for sure.
CastleVania Legends (Game Boy)
I love this game, it's very tough but also very enjoyable. Sonia is best Belmont origin canon.
Rubik's Cube
trained and learned how to solve one in real life, my fastest time solving a cube from scrambled to all sides complete as of this post is 2m21s
Rubik's Puzzle World (DS, played on 3DS)
After having learned how to solve a Rubik's Cube in real life on an actual cube I was able to solve it in this game with a time of 4:45, which is twice as long than I can do it in real life (fastest time as of typing this in 2:21) but it's far less intuitive and much clunkier with the low res and highly inaccurate touch screen control of a DS/3DS, so I still think it's a very good time for someone who just learned how to do it.
Auto Racing (Intellivision)
just playing some awesome Intellivision games again

Scooby Doo's Maze Chase (Intellivision)
this was a new one for me, another good maze game (aka "Pac-Man clone"), very typical for the time
Nightlong Union City Conspiracy (PC)
also playing some nostalgic PC point and click games, it's not a genre I like but it has a handful games I love
The C.H.A.O.S. Continuum (PC)
The Colonel's Bequest A Laura Bow Mystery (PC)
Ninja Gaiden (Master System)
Total Drivin (PlayStation)
Super Mario Bros. 3 (Entertainment System)
Sonic The Hedgehog 3 (Mega Drive)
it's been ages since I played this, I usually just play the original Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic CD or Sonic & Knuckles or the old classics, the rest I only play a bit sporadically, sometimes a lot and then not at all for long stretches of time
Samurai Showdown (Mega Drive)
another one I haven't played it ages, I think it was last in the early 2000s on PC, the MS-DOS version
Time Trax (Mega Drive, prototype rom)
an odd platformer with some slow motion time manipulation power, it's pretty good but it's only a prototype, I don't think it ever was released as a full retail version sadly, it's not bad at all and feels pretty much complete, it's far better than many games that did come out back in the day
Scooby-Doo Mystery (Mega Drive)
an awful point and click mystery solving adventure game starring Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, with the rest of the gang being absent during the game only to be part of the intros and outros of the two mysteries the game has to offer. it's slow, clunky, illogical, unintuitive and arbitrary as fuck, the only way to solve a vast majority of the "puzzles" is to try every possible combination until you randomly find the correct thing to do, except for a handful thing you do there really is no thought, logic, rhyme or reason to anything else in the entire game, you will get stuck, a lot, and it's not your fault, the game is just extremely poorly designed, it looks very nice with good level of detail, nice animation and such, and the audio is fine as well, but damn, the gameplay just brutally murders the entire experience, just play this with a guide from the beginning if you ever try it out, and save yourself the headache
Tom & Jerry Frantic Antics (Mega Drive)
holy fucknuts this game is awful, it looks bad, sounds horrible and plays worse than just about anything else ever made, it's nothing short of a travesti it got released in this condition

Now Playing - April 2018
Lego Batman 3 Beyond Gotham (Xbox 360)
This game is really getting on my nerves, problems with glitches, poor design and low quality are rearing their ugly heads too much, I may not car enough to get through this one 100% like I did multiple times in a row like I did with the two previous games. A clear step down in quality to say the least, I even enjoyed the downscaled 3DS version better as it was downscaled in good ways, it skips a lot of the problem and keeps the best stuff.
UPDATE 7 April: I beat the story mode at least, doing most of the side stuff as well but I'm not aiming for 100% of this, some side quests are just far too annoying.
UPDATE 15 April: After having unlocked a bunch of more stuff and completed most of the side quests that aren't flying or checkpoint racing I ran into one hell of a glitch where the hub worlds loaded combined, the one I was at and travelled from merged with the one I travelled to creating a whole new dimension, especially when I combined the lantern worlds with the batcave or the watchtower becuase they were not compatible with their gravity and coordinate alignment so I was running in the air and up and down walls etc, it was pure pandemonium, it actually took quite a long time before it froze from all this madness but sadly I haven't been able to recreate it again after that, it happened after I unlocked Giganta and tried to warp and switch characters, her size difference powers are most likely the catalyst but some other ingredient seems to be missing for it to happen again, I've tried with different characters, even both being Giganta, large and small combinations, but nothing has triggered it to happen again so far.
To be honest, this is the best thing this game has offered so far, in the midst of all the mediocrity it's offered this stood out and one hell of an experience, so I'd love to be able to recreate it again and learn how to trigger it manually, that'd be awesome.
Oh and also I've finally gone all the hub worlds and it's specifically the green lantern world Oa where you finally get to use all the vehicles you unlock in the game, it almost exclusively has land and air racing challenges, so it's not exactly a huge open world like Gotham was in Lego Batman 2 DC Superheroes, but it's at least something as the rest of the game virtually have no vehicles at all other than the select few side scrolling shooter levels.
Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens (PlayStation Vita)
One mission at a time, slow and steady wins the race...? Nah I'm done for now, time for something else to make my Vita fun again, hopefully.
Justice League Task Force (Mega Drive)
The music alone is worth starting up this game for.
Still one of the most criminally underrated fighting games of the 16-bit generation and one of the most polarizingly opposite of it's Super Nintendo counterpart as on Super Nintendo this game is extremely poor and I can only recommend avoiding it entirely, yeah it's sadly that bad, handled by another developer and the result was a wildly different version that fails to be as good as the Mega Drive game in every way, shape and form.
On Mega Drive this is a must play for fighting game, DC and Mega Drive fans.
The Adventures of Bayou Billy (Entertainment System)
I really like this game, despite the design changes for this version over how the original Japanese version, Mad City, was.
It's a really cool game, reminds me of Robin Hood Prince of Thieves as it also has multiple genres of gameplay baked into it, sadly this game is overly tedious due to the increased difficulty, but the gameplay that's there is still really good, with good controls, good visuals, great music and some nice technical impressive things like digitized voice samples and screen warping effects, not bad at all for an old Entertainment System game.
Slalom (Entertainment System)
Rare sure like making potentially great games that get hindered with far too high difficulty.
Ride! Next Generation Equitation (PC)
I wanted to try one of the first horse games I got for PC, it's technically a very well made game, even if it's not my genre at all and I suck at it, at least it's better than most other horse games as this at least manages to be a professional level game for those interested in this type of thing, it's not just another low quality horse tamagotchi sim where you waste most of your time playing awful minigames like washing the horse, feeding it and literally picking up horse shit, this focuses on obstacle courses and such, the competition and actual sport, so kudos for that at least, it also look rather good with some very nicely detailed horses, environments, special effects and animations, for a 2008 PC game in this specific genre it looks very good indeed.
Night Stalker (PC)
Just running around shooting some bats, robots and the occasional spider in this very competent fan made PC port of the Intellivision classic.
Cat Pöke (PC)
Just having some fun poking cat butts.
Cat Planet (PC)
Just flying around looking for some talkative little kitties.
The Adventures of Captain Comic (PC)
I got farther than I've ever done before, that was cool, I almost feel like there's a chance I could beat the game now, I've had it since I was a kid, it was one of the first PC games I ever played, so it would've been cool to beat this one at least once.
Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed (PlayStation Vita)
Already knew it was gonna look bad seeing as it's a port of the 3DS version rather than a port of the HD console version, sadly, but it's still okay I guess, it could've been amazing had they just had some ACTUAL all-stars to play as, but alas it's the most generic and common ones like Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles, and a bunch of characters you never wanted and for several of them you probably never even heard or or knew where there as you probably played the better characters in the games these ones come from, like the one guy from Crazy Taxi nobody plays as, some secondary character from Jet Grind Radio Future/Jet Set Radio, a couple of monkeys from Samba de Amigo (I think, and yes they get two characters featured from that game, as if one uninteresting monkey you didn't know or want to play as wasn't enough, they gave us two, you know instead of something you'd like to play as becuase that would've been too much fun according to Sega, and we can't have fun in videogames, nope, we have to be disappointed and wishing we were playing a good game instead, that's the modern Sega way for some reason!) and fucking Alex Kidd etc., but almost none of the ones you know and love and would've actually wanted to play as are there, so yeah, thanks Sega for making it obvious why we should never buy your games when they're new and you can still make a profit from a sale, we never will, we promise.
Need for Speed Road Challenge (PC)
Not fully compatible with Windows 7 it seems, so I have to run it in software mode, it looks kinda like a low-end PSX game with an unusually choppy framerate.
V-Rally (PlayStation)
Just joyriding while winning some races.
Sega Rally Championship PC (PC)
Just joyriding for the fun of joyriding.

Lego Batman 3 Beyond Gotham (3DS)

Lego Marvel Avengers (PlayStation Vita)

Lego Batman The Videogame (Xbox 360)
beat it 100%
Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens (PlayStation Vita)
Lego Batman 2 DC Super Heroes (Xbox 360)
beat it 100%
Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens (3DS)
Now I see why the Vita version was so mediocre and lackluster, it's sadly just a port of the 3DS version rather than a properly made and optimized Vita original version or stationary console port like it could've easily been seeing as the Vita is literally PS3 hardware and there are games on it that surpass even the best technical achievements on the PS3, like the incredibly impressive Killzone Mercenary that far surpasses games like Killzone 2 and 3 and Resistance 2 and 3, four of the very finest shooters the PS3 has to offer! not saying this is a bad game, it's just a shame the low tech 3DS (it's weaker than the old PSP) got a custom version when the vastly more powerful Vita just gets a slightly polished up port.
Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
Unresponsive, stiff, forced motion controls during certain segments, one-way levels that force you to replay the level from the beginning if you missed something, plain and simple this game feels like it was designed in the mid 80s.
Battle Frenzy/Bloodshot (Mega Drive)
An FPS in a similar vein to Wolfenstein 3D only in a sci-fi setting and it has a 2 player split-screen multiplayer mode.
It's a good game for the time and I like it, it gets a bit choppy and the countdown at the end of every level is almost a greater enemy than the nasty killer machines you face along the way.
It's a very tough game but it's cool enough and still enjoyable.
I got the european version titled Battle Frenzy but in the game the title screen still says Bloodshot.
Disney's Kim Possible Global Gemini (DS, played on 3DS)
Very similar to the PS2 game Kim Possible What's the Switch?, it actually does a really good job with the visuals and gameplay alike, its' smooth, responsive, you got good moves and I like the visual style with some flat shaded polygonal stuff, it fits with the cartoony look perfectly and helps the DS keep up a nice level of detail and a brisk framerate at the same time, a very well crafted game overall so far and I'm enjoying it.
UPDATE: The on-rail segments with snowboard and moped suck, they use the touch screen as a pseudo analog steering tablet and it's awkward as fuck to hold the DS/3DS while playing a game that way, those are by far the worst parts of the game so far, also the matrix type levels aren't very good either, it's just a gauntlet of dodging laser beams and a lot of grapple hook swinging, neither of which are this game's strong points, also they look really generic with the same blue grid pattern on everything.
WinX Club (PlayStation 2)
Finally I got hold of this for PS2, I've had the PC version for a few years but as both a fan of WinX Club and an avid console gamer I've always wanted the PS2 version specifically. It's virtually identical to the PC version. A good action platformer and great game for WinX Club fans.

Continuing with Sly Cooper Thieves in Time on Vita and PS3 while also testing some other new games.
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time (PlayStation Vita)
Nearing the end now, on the final episode.

Catching up, only slightly behind where I am on Vita.
UPDATE: 12 April I completed the PS3 version.
NeverDead (Xbox 360)
I've heard bad things about this game but I'm having fun with it so far. It can get a bit choppy when there are lots of enemies spawning and a lot of environmental destruction is going on and the physics and controls with the main character's body dismemberment can be a bit unresponsive and bouncy, but the action is great. The rest is good too, I don't have any big complains yet. At least as far as the beginning of the game goes it seems to be a bit of an underrated hidden gem.
Earth Defense Forces 2 Portable (PlayStation Portable)
Smart As... (PlayStation Vita)
Been playing this on a daily basis doing the daily challenge and some additional free play of the minigames. It's a mixed bag in just about every way. Some minigames are challenging, others are not, some are forgiving, others are not, some control as they should, others do not, some are well designed, others aren't, some of the rules are fair and make sense, others don't, some use the Vita's different features well, others don't, some are unplayable augmented reality games because they require AR cards that don't come with the game, other AG games work fine without them, and so on.. I enjoy it for the good parts but the bad parts constantly make it a lesser experience than it should be.

I've heard bad things about this game but I'm having fun with it so far. It can get a bit choppy when there are lots of enemies spawning and a lot of environmental destruction is going on and the physics and controls with the main character's body dismemberment can be a bit unresponsive and bouncy, but the action is great. The rest is good too, I don't have any big complains yet. At least as far as the beginning of the game goes it seems to be a bit of an underrated hidden gem.
Earth Defense Forces 2 Portable (PlayStation Portable)
Smart As... (PlayStation Vita)
Been playing this on a daily basis doing the daily challenge and some additional free play of the minigames. It's a mixed bag in just about every way. Some minigames are challenging, others are not, some are forgiving, others are not, some control as they should, others do not, some are well designed, others aren't, some of the rules are fair and make sense, others don't, some use the Vita's different features well, others don't, some are unplayable augmented reality games because they require AR cards that don't come with the game, other AG games work fine without them, and so on.. I enjoy it for the good parts but the bad parts constantly make it a lesser experience than it should be.
The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64)
Just reminding myself of all the reason why this game sucks.

Finally found what I've been looking for, kind of, it's the wrong firmware to be useful for anything but playing physical games but I'll take what I can get at this point.

I went back to the local GameStop where I got the Vita yesterday to buy some games for it today, I picked up all I could find that were of reasonable price and seemed interesting enough, I have to say they were all great.

I love how the Vita has a screenshot feature!
