I've been enjoying City of Heroes: Homecoming. I played beta --> live --> lights out years ago. Now, this old fart is making YouTube vids for new players 
The game is free and perfectly official via the original owners of the franchise.

Picked me up an X-Arcade Tankstick Max the other day for MAME. Oh my word this thing is quite rad. Just wrapped up playing some Dragon's Lair and then Excitebike. Tempest and then Ikari Warriors next.

I have a plan to acquire a PS5 later this year and since some of the games I want for it are sequels to games I currently own on my PS4, I'm prioritizing some replays. I have finished a second run through of Jedi Fallen Order and I'm now replaying Spider-Man (which, in my previous playthrough, I never completed the City That Never Sleeps DLC, so planning on finally finishing that this time around).

We had some fun tonight.....
There is something about these simple games I really dig. Maybe it's the nostalgia from my childhood along with the simple graphics and groovy sound effects and music, but I can play this game for hours. We also played Hogan's Alley.
That's an old Trinitron TV, made by Sony. The picture is crystal clear. The sound is crisp and defined, even the funky cool bass line in Duck Hunt.

30 years of Metal Slug as of last week. Wow, it doesn't seem that long. I never tire of playing those games.

Jedi Survivor is good. Fallen Order was better, but I don't think Survivor will let you down.
I also really enjoyed Outlaws. It got some mixed reactions, but it did everything I wanted it to. I even played it twice, which is rare for me.
The price increases have put the PS5 out of reach again, so the plan has been redirected (likely to a bass, funnily enough). But thanks for the recommendations. Outlaws was already on my radar. I'll probably get it if I need more Star Wars after Survivor and Galactic Racer
A buddy and I played Gauntlet (the arcade game) for about three hours on Sunday, but didn't beat it. I don't even know if you can technically beat it, but oh my it is quite fun to play regardless.
