I set up my Wii and was going to play Fortune Street, but I snuck into my friend’s Minecraft world instead. Sometimes he kicks me out, but we’d been working on this world since last time, and I wanted to see if I could get a few more achievements. At the end of it, when I looked back on what I’d done, it seemed like I had gone on a fishing vacation

It’s September and that means it’s time for another retro fest, this time covering the years 2005-2009. I’ve done most of the research so far and already seen a film, rented some books, and organized my video game collection in preparation for my “weekend”, which is in the middle of the week right now. I’ll break it down by media type, since that’s how I organize my spreadsheet.

I ran through half a dozen games on Original Xbox today to see which ones I wanted to keep. Then I joined my friend playing Minecraft on Xbox One and got seriously lost in the world. I managed to knock off a few more achievements though.

I hooked up my original Xbox today and it wouldn’t play anything. It just kept spitting the discs back out. No cleaning would solve it. In my depression, I turned to Minecraft for a while until I realized KOTOR II was on the backwards compatibility list for Xbox One. So that’s what I played once it installed.

My friend and I decided a few months ago to sell our copies of Clayfighter 63 1/3: Sculptor's Cut.

I tried to get a good sense of what to keep from 4 PS2 titles. Then I finished up Banner Saga 2 and got hooked some more in Kingdom: New Lands on XBO.

I went to The Franklin Institute in Philly today to see the Game Masters Exhibit. Then I ran through some more PS2 games to see if I still wanted them. Finally, I got back to Banner Saga 2, trying to get to the end of the story.

I set up my PS2 and ran through some stuff I will probably trade. I want to get those out of the way first before I try the ones I’m most excited about. Then I got back to Xbox One and Banner Saga 2.  

I finished up my week with some Dreamcast fishing games and a few short games I got off Game Pass. Here's a pic of my Dreamcast fishing games and the controller.

I was in the mood for small games today so played a few of them.
