I’ve essentially only emulated Pokemon games from my childhood and their romhacks previously. But now I’m looking to play things I just completely missed because I was too young, not born, or didn’t have the system then.

So what are your favorites?

Emulating on Android with Lemuroid btw.

Hard to go wrong with Chrono Trigger, a classic JRPG that still holds up imo. Earthbound is another classic that’s a must play, it hasn’t aged as well but is a great little piece of video game history.

Those are the two big ones that come to mind with emulation for me.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and more recently Link’s Awakening. Also the older Pokemon gameboy titles.

So I’ve never played a single Zelda game. Which one do I start on?

I did play like 2 hours of BoTW on switch and just never got back to it.

A Link to the Past is the one you want to start on. It’ll get you right to the heart of what makes the classic Zelda games so good. If that’s too retro for you, play Ocarina of Time, you can’t go wrong with that masterpiece.

Going by ones I play the most, probably Final Fantasies IV, VI, & Tactics, Link to the Past, Sonic 2, the GBA Castlevania games, and some Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

Super Metroid on SNES. Amazing, great game. My absolute favorite. And if it interests you, there are a lot of good ROM hacks for the game, giving you near infinite replay-ability.
