These days you can emulate old consoles almost perfectly, with a lot of quality of life improvements. The whole memory can be written and retrieved in milliseconds so you can save everywhere and anywhere.
A raspberry pi 4 can emulate any console up to the N64. I’m still running a pi 3. The 3 can’t do the N64 well. I’m unsure how good the pi 4 is with the graphics of the N64.
I can run basically any game published before 1995. It’s just a matter of finding roms. They used to be easy to get, but Nintendo got angry with websites that were hosting them. So now you have to dig a little more to get them.
Mega Man X on the snes was my favorite for the console, the day I got to play the first time I managed to beat Chill Penguin, Spark Mandrill and Armored Armadillo. I couldn’t for the life of me, for the next 5 or so hours, beat any other boss. That I played that long without any progress probably shows my dedication.
Donkey Kong Country 2 was my second fave. Never managed to “legally” get all 75 kremcoins, or beat all the 5 special stages back then. Hell, even getting to the final world was a challenge back then.
On the ps1, Mega Man Legends 1 and X5. I’m only counting the games I played when I was “a kid” (< 12yo). I still love most Mega Man games.
I personally maintain that the first Megaman X is the best game ever made. The controls are so tight, even modern developers have a hard time achieving something similar, the progression is straight up perfect, the story is great and the blend of easy/hard secrets allows for a lot of replayability for a game that old.
Ps2: GTA sanandreas, gauntlet dark legacy, onimusha2( mostly watched my older brother play), need for speed underground2, midnight club2, resident evil 4(also just watched my brother play), On WII: redsteell, super samsh bros brawl, mario galaxy, mario kart, On pc: world of warcraft online, club penguin and flash games in general
Started playing Yakuza like a dragon. I wanted to start a new RPG. Also started a new playthrough of Eden Ring, following the wiki since I missed a lot of stuff in the past. Going with a samurai build
The original Genesis Sonic trilogy was a constant replay for me as a kid and even on occasion now as an adult. I loved the visuals, the music, learning how to master every level, playing as the different characters. It was all so good to me.
As someone who only got into retro RPGs like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger as an adult, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was the first game to show me how games could tell an epic story. There is a reason it was held up as one of the greatest games ever made during its heyday and even holds up well now. It had huge varied environments for its time, memorable scenes and characters, and IMO a perfect difficulty curve to its dungeons and puzzles. Even after playing many of the later Zelda games, it remained my favorite Zelda game until Breath of the Wild.
And of course, the original Smash Bros 64 started off the ultimate fun party game series, my siblings and I spent hundreds or even thousands of hours playing Smash 64 and Melee growing up.
I figure most of us on here were teens or adults when Minecraft came out, leading to why no one has mentioned it yet. Great game back in the day though.
Ha, I recently saw that Toy Story 2 was in the retro library of my PlayStation Premium subscription. Invited my brother over and we spent the next day or two running thru it. Clunky as hell these days but still weirdly endearing enough to be just as much fun as we remembered.
Yeah, just a tad bit too much for me to have a “smooth” experience. But not enough to be unenjoyable or anything. Not at all. I had a blast and I’m absolutely going to enjoy my next emulated playthrough when the inspiration strikes.
