Recently purchased a Retroid Pocket 3+ and have the chance to play all the games I didn’t grow up with. Which ones are a must?
The gameboy Kirby games are nice. Played them on my retroleap device
I’ve been playing Dragon Quest Monsters for the GBC, the game came out at the peak of Pokémon and the remakes never came west so you don’t hear about it much here which is a shame. It’s a pretty ideal handheld game, lots of content that you can play in short bursts or long sessions.
How familiar are you with retro gaming generally? If you’re not familiar at all, there are some of the real classics that are extremely playable today:
- Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)
- Ninja Gaiden (NES)
- Tetris (Gameboy)
- Super Mario World (SNES)
- Super Street Fighter 2 (SNES)
- Sonic The Hedgehog (Genesis)
- Streets of Rage 2 (Genesis)
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Playstation)
- Wipeout 2097 (Playstation)
- Tekken 3 (Playstation)
- R-Type (Arcade)
- Outrun (Arcade)
Look up the top 10 games in each decade and try them all
A good start would be all any SNES game from Nintendo, Capcom, Konami and Square-Enix. It’s difficult to find bad games from them during this era.
