Maybe some classic JRPGs? You mention PS1, so I’d personally think of games like the FFs, Chrono Cross, Legend of Dragoon, Xenogears, Suikoden, Grandia, etc.
None require full attention, but are games I’d like to play if I had the time.
This is a more complex question than just “what is your favorite video game,” or “what games do you consider works of art?”
If I’m putting a game in a museum, it’s because there’s something about it that warrants preservation on a greater level than other games. To that end, my candidates are
Pong (1972)
The first commercially successful video game.
Tetris (1985)
Arguably the most influential game of all time
Rollercoaster Tycoon (1999)
Handcrafted in assembly, serves as a lesson both in optimization and harnessing the players’ penchant for finding intrinsic value in simplistic game mechanics
Edit: I just realized this comment looks like an infernal machine wrote it. I want to make it clear that I’m a human, with skin and blood and stuff
This and Balatro (and probably many rogue-lite deckbuilders I haven’t tried) are perfect compulsive time killers. Even though they’re newer, I would say they deserve serious consideration.
Turn based RPGs. I played through Persona 3, 4, and 5 on an elliptical machine in the past few months, and am now on Metaphor Refantazio. Atlus games seem perfect for this, heh. Not your pre-2005 style, but there’s plenty of old RPGs out there.
I also played through most of the Yakuzas on the elliptical too, although on easy difficulty since they didn’t become turn based until very recently.
I have played a few hundred hours of XCOM 2 on my treadmill. But I’ll play anything turn based that I can use a controller with. Steam controller takes care of the ones that need a mouse.
