Splinter Cell Blacklist on XBox 360.
Very nice game, even if I still prefer Metal Gear Solid V.

I just played through The Last Ninja Remix for C64. Really nice to experience a different version of LN2, it felt like a different game. But it reminds me how perfect the original is, just changing small things like the UI makes the graphics look muddy and less impressive.
So you like Splinter Cell, I like stealth games, played Thief 3 a lot lately. I only tried Splinter Cell a little on PSP many years ago, maybe give the new ones a try sometime.
There are no new ones, Blacklist is the latest Splinter Cell, and it was released in 2013. I’ve never played any Splinter Cell before, but I do like stealth games. The almost perfect one (almost because it’s not and never will be finished) is Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain, that’s one of the best modern games ever despite it’s not finished. But Splinter Cell Blacklist is quite nice too. I also like the early Assassin’s Creed games (II, Brotherhood, Revelations) aka the Ezio story, that are also pretty nice stealth games.
Yeah, The Last Ninja Remix (C64) isn’t part of my collection, guess why. 
It’s a shameless copy of The Last Ninja 2, and the UI and OST are worse. And you’re absolutely right, The Last Ninja 2 is perfect. It’s the most impressive game on C64, best grafics, best sound, best theme. Easy in my retro games top 3 of all time.
Top 3 retro:
Turrican (C64)
The Last Ninja 2 (C64)
The Secret of Monkey Island (Amiga)
Top 3 modern:
Red Dead Redemption (XBox 360)
The Last of Us Remastered (PS4)
Dark Souls (Xbox 360)
I see, so that game is from 2013. Good to hear that latest Metal Gear Solid is good, those titles are epic. Remember my jaw dropped when the story in MGS2 had some sick turns towards the end. Yeah, some of the LN remix songs are outright shallow versions.
I think my top games before year 2000 are:
1. Last Ninja 1&2
2. NES Tetris
3. Moonstone
4. XCOM Enemy Unknown
Top after year 2000:
1. Dark Souls series
2. Diablo 3
3. Metroid series
Hard to pick though, so much great stuff, but those games I played the most.
BTW: Dark Souls 2 is now the most played in that series for me. Once I overcame the chaotic maps and clunkiness, it became a really nice open world that can be played in many different ways for each playthrough. I know you mostly play games once, but if you play games many times, this one will last the longest time, IMO. It feels even more open than Elden Ring, if you know how to you can get max weapon very early on. Nice weapon mechanics that are not present in the other games. It’s still the ugliest of them, though, or the art style is incomplete and the animations are not as good as the other games.
Anyone wanna beat my NES Tetris score? 
This year is different, music isn’t prioritized. I should make some music maybe, but instead I’m playing games for distraction. Yesterday I initiated my PS5 and started to play Bleak Faith Forsaken. It’s technically outdated, but it has a great atmosphere and the music is awesome. And it was created by only 3 (!) persons, just like games in the good old days.
Yes, but some are greater than others. For example, Dark Souls is greater than Dark Souls 2 and greater than Dark Souls 3 too. 
Tetris? Yes! NES? No!
