Lately on PC I've played Mario's missing, street fighter 2, another world, and warcraft 2 expansion set.
These last couple days I've got back my NES with Faxanadu.

AWesome. I love Mario is missing, but I havent been able to track down the CD rom version with the additional countries.
Which SF 2 are you playing? I need to finish warcraft 2 as well. I have also gotten my NES up and running and played some Legend of Zelda and Ninja Gaiden 2.

I'm sure Mario's missing got localized in Italian and played that version when I was a kid. Though, to a friend's house with his PC, and he never shared. I found the English version online. It was funny as I visited many of the playable countries, and there are various inaccuracies down the line.

SF2 is the standard version. I got (bought it back) the Italian big box version which was just booklet localized, and game adapted (hacked? Who knows) to match the security checks from the new language. The game is English alright. This was odd as I ever had the backup floppies (call them copies) with the original manual, and then the manual just disappeared. Possibly, I trashed it and I don't even recall the moment. But as I've said, I bought it now full box. I've also got a floppies (originals)+ manual only to sell from the same editor - which is Futura Games, there are some Italian enthusiasts who wrote about the company.

Warcraft 2: ah, I LOVED it when I was a kid, but I always sucked at RTS. I still remember connecting to an early dial up number with an external 28.8K modem to get the cheat codes from blizzard.com as I couldn't manage to get through some level. I always dreamt of having the expansion, and some years back I finally got it - Italian localized. Rarest than rare gems in my collection.

These nights I'm just enjoying the NES Faxanadu game though.
