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

Metroid: Zero Mission is fantastic. It's pretty much the perfect remake of the original metroid, there's zero wasted content, the game has great pacing and is made to be beaten in under two hours, and the game actively encourages sequence breaking via morphball bombing, making it a really replayable title (The game has unique ending artwork for sequence breaking the shit out of it and beating it with less than 15% of the game's items). Played it for the first time this year so I can confirm it has aged gracefully like wine or a graceful and hot immortal vampire guy or something idk

they should have called it Peak: Peak Peak imo
