I have a lot of special memories playing Pilotwings on SNES, but I hate to admit I never got Pilotwings 64. I wish I did, but I was a poor college student at the time and could only afford Mario 64.
Doom Dark Ages, But That's Not All

I dabbled a bit in 360 games and Switch too. Check 'em out.
Forza Horizon (X360) - I picked up a clean copy of this and it worked. The servers are down, so no storefront for new cars or online play, but there's still a lot to do. I've done a lot already in this game but I managed to knock off an achievement for winning a race on Hard difficulty. The last time I got an achievement in this was 2017. Wow. 8 years ago. My friend found out for me that the FH disc will play in his Xbox Series X even though it's not purchaseable digitally anymore. That's good to know for FH 3 and 4 I have to get physically. I could pick up a Xbox One or upgrade to a Series X and play them.
Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing: Transformed (X360) - I got so hooked into this again even though I've unlocked a lot of it already back in 2022. I knocked off three more achievements and wanted to keep going but youtube wouldn't load during a break and I switched to XSS instead of fooling with it.
Doom Dark Ages (XSS) - I'm replaying the whole game for completion. I only have three achievements left, that is, until the DLC drops sometime later. It's been super fun hunting down every secret, collectible and challenge in the game. Nothing has been crazy hard, but it's sometimes a challenge to find that last secret spot on a map. I've only resorted to a walkthrough once or twice. I'm excited to finish it though because both my internal and external drives are full of games to play.
Clicker Heroes (XSS) - When there's only 20 minuted to go in the day, I hit this and use my accumulated quintillions on character upgrades and level progression. Then the cash flow slows down again and I'm done 'til next time.
Retro Classics (XSS)
This is a new collection of Activision owned retro games available on Game Pass I just browsed through. I'm excited about the Police Quest/Space Quest games and Atari Activision titles (but no Stampede!). There are daily challenges and a in-game currency that you can use to buy what look like those old Activision Atari Patches you can use as gamer pics. The whole package reminds me of Xbox 360's Virtual Arcade Room without the 3D space to roam around in. I'm glad for it, especially that the Activision Atari games are finally available on Xbox. I hope they add to it over time.
That's a week. Oh yeah, I played Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64 on Switch in handheld mode one day. I really like these games and hope to pick up original carts of them sometime.
