I’ve been playing some retro games recently (PS1 and prior) and I’ve been discovering a lot of games that I never thought I would enjoy. Particularly 90s arcade shmups and arcade style sports games.

What are some of your favorite retro games that you always find yourself coming back to?

    Earthbound, gotta play that at least once in your life.

    Chrono trigger, still one of the greatest games of all time.

    Final Fantasy 6(US 3) there is debate, but widely regarded as the best one overall still. 7 is the other strongest contender, but if you are gonna play that one, don’t play the retro one, as one of the very first polygonal games, it’s hard to look at now.

    Zelda (3), a link to the past.

    There are certainly more, but those’ll last you a few months.

    Edit: Suppose I can’t really get by without saying Rock n’ Roll Racing.

        Third for Chrono Trigger. I didn’t get to play that one when I was a kid so I played it for the first time in 2020. Holy shit what a game. The original definitely still holds up today.
