I was never much into PC games, but some of the exclusives have made their way into my life. The main one being Hatred at the moment. Some people say the senseless violence in the game is the kind of thing that that inspires mass murderers. While that is what happens in the game, which is also the point of the game, that's not why I play it. When I get into a state that I'm beyond pissed off, I boot up the game. It lets me get my anger and frustration out and no one in real life (myself included) gets hurt. Sure, there's a lot of pixel people lying dead in the pixel street they live on, but it's therapeutic for me. I also find the game fun.
As for the good old stuff, I have Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, PS1-PS5, Xbox-Xbox Series X & S (Xbox belongs to the wife). I'm not a big fan of Xbox. I never have been. But I have an Xbox One simply for the game Tell Me Why. But once I discovered that the game was available on PC and I'm still able to use a controller as opposed to keyboard and mouse if I so choose, the Xbox got put up and opened up some space on my desk.
With my PlayStation systems, I honestly play games from every system with the exception of PS2. For reasons I won't get into, I missed the entire PS2 era. So I don't have anything to say there. But with PS1, I fell in love with Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night (SOTN), and Final Fantasy 8 (FF8). I still play the both of them, but some other PS1 games were Bushido Blade and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. I wasn't the biggest fan of Soul Reaver, but Bushido Blade was a lot of fun.
When I got my PS3 though I pretty much retired my PS1 console, because I no longer had to search through literally 20 memory cards trying to find the right one for the game I wanted to play. And before you ask, I did write the games on the memory cards. But as much as I rummaged through them, the ink wore off them lightning fast. So that was a lost cause. The PS3 with its internal memory cards was a life saver. But the greatest two games on PS3 were Dante's Inferno and God Of War: Chains Of Olympus. I know GoW: Chains was originally on PSP, but after it was ported to the PS3, I snatched it up. It is the GoW title that got me into the series. Dante's Inferno was later made an Xbox exclusive, so I'm glad I got it when it was still available to buy for PlayStation.
With the SNES and N64 I was almost exclusively playing the Zelda games. With A Link To The Past I know literally know everything about the game with one exception. I can even tell you which bee is the correct one to get. The one thing I don't know is rather obscure. I know how to get to Chris Houlihan's room. Not hard in the least. The thing I don't know is who the hell Chris Houlihan is. I've searched it online, but all I can find is speculation and rumors. There is one thing that almost broke me of my love for the Zelda series. That is the ROM-hacks that came out. I tried playing Goddess Of Wisdom for a while. Don't get me started. Six years in and I have only made it to the third temple. The damn game is so hard that even a professional, or creator of the game could never make it through. The game is CRUELLY difficult. The stress and rage that it causes you while playing can easily cause you to have an aneurysm. It is simply not worth playing if you value your health. And Goddess supposedly isn't even the hardest one of the ROM-hacks.That one is supposedly Parallel Worlds. I quit playing them years ago, but I do still possess them. Yet they're not the only games I own that I will not play due to rage quitting and extreme stress from playing.
With the new stuff (PS5) I almost exclusively play RDR2. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of RDR2 but still don't know half of what the game has to offer.
With my personal library of the systems I actually play, I have over 2000 games. Again, that's just the systems I actually play. I have 130 DDL's on my Switch alone. I'm attaching a zipped folder that should contain my game library, rather than posting it, as it's a super long list. I hope it works right. If it doesn't I'll just post my library normal like.
You guys have talked a bit about writing BASIC. I looked at that and was lost immediately. When I was a teenager (not quite ancient history) I used davesite.com to teach myself HTML. Now I know HTML inside-out, upside-down, and backwards. I can make a really decent website on that alone. For an amateur that is.
And there are a few games for PS4 that aren't compatible with the PS5. They are DWVR, Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma, TT Isle of Man Ride On The Edge, Just Deal With It, Shadow Complex Remastered, Robinson: The Journey, We Sing, Hitman Go: Definitive Edition, Shadwen, and Joe's Diner.
