Recommendation Please...

[Gruntfuggly]

I'm off to Portugal for a week, so I'd like a few recommendations for games to play whilst I am there. I've got two young kids so I'm not going to need a 5 hour a day game, but something I can save and continue for perhaps an hour a day would be good.

Doom WADs, PCEngine, Gameboy games, etc, would be ideal...

Pick up and play games:

Balloon Fight (NES)
Tetris and Puyo Pop (Anything)
Falldown (Homebrew)
Sokoban (Homebrew)
GpDarts (Homebrew)
Electronia (Homebrew)

Not to forget Numo, which is great, and Gianna's Sisters, if you can be arsed to remember the passwords.

Heh - I always play in the non-porn mode so I forgot about that (no way I want to have friends say "what are you playing" and then get ammo to taunt me with for months afterwards when they see naked ladies on the screen lol). Don't the porn and non-porn ones come in different files though? Couldn't you just delete the porn one?

Man I am desperately trying to think of a game for the SNES, and I would definitely recommend it if I could think of the name of the damn thing. So if anybody knows what it is, I recommend it.

It's a single/multiplayer game (multiple players play separately) and you manouveur a ball type thing round a track or something. I really loved it but I don't know what it's called.

Oh, when you complete the level it says "Good fortune", I think.

Recommended; whatever it is.

Goto www.gp32eu.com and pickup some games. They are all the free ones, but are packaged to setup quick, like megaman for the beats of rage, all setup and ready to play. Also, balloon and ballon (B&B) is the best game yet, in my opinion.

Nice list, but may I add Psycho Pinball, ACME All Stars and Sensible Soccer to the Megadrive/Genesis list. 3 games there perfect for pick up and play, and if he's got young kids, the obvious solution would be Pokémon Red or Blue. Keeps kids entertained for hours and hours from experience.

Thanks for all the suggestions people... I'll be having a small download session tonight!
