PC Engine. Not only does it look like a prop from the set of TNG, but it is delightfully tiny. The cartridges are little cards that you slot in the front. There is literally nothing bad about a PC Engine. (Except for maybe that it's only got one controller port)

I've found XnView to be a good IrfanView replacement. (Granted it's not QUITE as good; same as how there isn't anything quite as good as Notepad++)

As for Lynx on Windows, looks like it's available through Scoop! https://bjansen.github.io/scoop-apps/main/lynx/

Ah - in that case, I'm going YoTD, Spyro the Dragon, Ripto's Rage! (I do like 2 a lot, but it's always felt weirdly disjointed to me. Ripto is a very good villain though.)

It's less that good has one hand tied behind its back, and more that good is fighting with a sword while evil brought an attack helicopter

Couple I haven't seen yet:

• Vib-Ribbon, a fun little rhythm game which also allows you to play with your own CDs
• Team Buddies, a really unique action / strategy game that I've never seen replicated. Sort of a proto-MOBA.

Not quite the last - we also had Chinatown Wars for DS, in I think 2008?

I'm curious, why that specific order for Spyro? I'd personally just go in release order, same with the Crash games.

Sounds like Root Explorer would be suitable.

I have my name in the back of 'Metal Slug: The Ultimate History' for helping... er, someone more directly involved with screenshots of Metal Slug 6. Was a good moment.

Mekanism, hands down.

Followed VERY closely by Fallout 2 Restoration Project.

MPP is glorious

Gonna be controversial and say Metroid Prime Hunters... mainly because that's the one I've spent the most time with.

Zero Mission takes a close second, though.

Depends on the game. I've seen it labelled both ways.

It's better for making a pretty island or a nicely-decorated house. And the vault pole is a real benefit early on, before you can build bridges. Otherwise, NL really is the better game.

As a controller nerd, I think I may be in the market for some of those hot takes

Yes. They do occasionally transliterate, and I think it'd be nice if they'd done so across the board.

Tangentially related: there are a lot of moments in Firefly where the characters speak Chinese. Instead of captioning it properly, they just write "[speaks Chinese]".

Which is especially jarring when you have a whole [speaks Chinese] sentence with a [speaks Chinese] phrase in the middle.

I had Spotify on shuffle once, and it played the same song twice in a row. On two separate occasions.

On the modern games taking forever to get to the point: I've been playing the Paper Mario TTYD remake on Switch. Out of curiosity, I watched a little gameplay from the GameCube original... and glory be, does it look snappy. They definitely padded out the animations and stuff in the remake.
