I’ve been enjoying emulating games recently - mostly NES, ps1 and gba - and I’m looking to branch out from my limited familiarity as I mostly play games I’ve played in the past (and then it was mostly rentals- so very limited exposure lol).
What games would you recommend checking out? Basically across any ps1-equivalent generation system or earlier. I’m interested in the FF series but have no idea where to start either 🤷♂️
My rotation atm:
PS1: Medal of Honor, ssx,
GBA: Pokémon firered, wario
NES: castlevania, ninja gaiden
for me older arcade games. just looking top of the list on my MAME rn: D&D Shadow over Mys / Tower of Doom, Metal Slug, Dragon Saber, Quiz & Dragons, 1942, Simpsons, TMNT Turtles in Time, Tempest, Puzzle Bobble 2/4, Super Mario Broths, Galaga, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, Joust, Gauntlet, Pole Position, Crystal Castles, Gorf, Bubble Bopbble, Final Fight, Out Run, Robotron.
The DND arcade entries are exceptional. Deserving of physical cabinet re-release
Ooooh metal slug! I’ve totally forgotten about that! Was way too hard when I tried it as a child and it kicked my ass haha. I really wanna get/build a full sized arcade cabinet- I’ve seen some good emulator ones
