I'm not sure placing is spelt like that 
Today I dug out my PS2 and thought I'd play some Gran Turismo a spin as a break from shooting dudes. You all know what that means: Load in, change the settings (most importantly disabling the start up video and racing music), smash through Licence B (licences being so dry and boring that the Polyphony needed to put a "coffee break" in the middle which I'm sure everyone reacts in the same way - Just go away I don't care about avoiding cones let me complete the licences as quickly as possible! - instead of just streamlining the licences), and then finally pick out a starter car from the mainly JDM used car options, cars which were considered low value and uninteresting in 2004 but ironically today are probably rather expensive! We all know this is best bit of the game! How much power can I get for c10,000!
Then off to the autocentre to give it a wash and an oil change, and voila my power jumps up from 148hp to 166hp. Add the obligatory ECU chip for 1,500 or so and now I'm rocking 178hp
. Then get bored and turn it off!
Except today I pushed past that and took some photos of my car before getting bored and turning it off:
I get amazed whenever I use this feature at what still images the game can produce. Compare it to the flashy ******** of something like driveclub (just because I happen to have some pictures of it on my HDD).
...Actually it looks pretty good so that's backfired but I'll share it anyway

Rollerball! That’s it! Just looked it up on IMDB. Such a classic. I didn’t even know they did a remake. I remember it being super violent!

SNES Lemmings
I had the Gameboy version back in the day - spent hours upon days upon weeks trying to get past Mayhem 4, never managed it. Thanks to the internet, I can now see that it was bugged on the PAL release
SNES version doesn't seem to have that problem, but is tougher than I remember. Respect to 10 year old me, who figured all this out much easier

GT2 on the PS2 still looks fantastic, I remember at the time being blown away. I'm playing Metroid Fusion on the GBA at the moment, never completed it but this weekend I hope to as I'm home alone!

Still regularly play Bomberman on the SNES with a 4 way multitap so me, the wife and kids can do battle.
Other SNES games I go back to are F-zero and Super Mario World.

Nothing beats the snes version of super bomberman, the version on the switch really sucks compared to that classic.

Just played super Mario land on gameboy. Must be first time in 20+ years.
Finished it first go. Still got it
Even remembered some of the secrets

Had a complete loft clear out about 5 weeks ago (boarded up, installed lights etc) and found all of my old consoles and games aswell as an old CRT TV. So I thought I'd treat myself to some classic gaming.
Just finished playing Xenogears a few days ago on my PS1, took me 64 hours to complete... wow, what a game. The scope and depth of the story is just astonishing and makes me long for more games like it. Themes range from Sigmund Freud concepts of Ego and Id etc, human origins, technology, God, religion, ancient civilizations etc. Absolute mind blowing story.
Thinking of getting out the PS2 next and playing Suikoden III

Currently playing Aerobiz on snes. I first, and last, played it about 16 years ago. No idea why I decided to play a console airline management game, but I remember enjoying it.
It's still good fun.

Rollerball?
Currently playing Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Illusion of Gaia on the SNES.
Lots on the original Amigas I have (both a A2000 and A1200) but normally Dungeon Master (completed multiple times but love the game), Bloodwych (hard as nails!), Turrican 2 (got to get my platforming in!).
On the original C64c I have I'm playing Bubble Bobble (one of the best games), Creatures is amazing, Ghosts n Goblins (hard game but good fun), Green Beret is, again, hard but fun and so many others.
