My old PSP3000 is one of my favorite pieces. It hasn’t seen any action in 5+ years now, but it will probably get some around september.
Mandatory jab at the switch. Not awful but cmon, the controls suck
cries in 3 left joycons with drift
Another of my least fave is my laptop’s monitor. It’s an ASUS ROG whose screen sucks major balls. If it ever gets over 40ºC, it starts showing some “scanlines” or something like that, with horizontal lines that don’t refresh correctly or something, kinda hard to describe. In any case, if I ever game straight on it without anything blowing cool air on the screen, games will become unplayable because it’ll reach a point where I literally can’t see shit, because the screen won’t be refreshing correctly, several lines will be “stuck” for 1 second or more. The keyboard is also a piece of shit.
Alright lots of recommendations in here, some that are making me question how old I am now since some of these don’t strike me as old enough to require a recommendation but I’ll just suggest one as a bit of a dark horse.
Tyrian 2000, the classic PC Shmup of a time long gone. Oh and I guess Jazz Jackrabbit cause that soundtrack is funky.
Spend an hour or two tweaking everything to the max, without disintegrating the entire map with one banana, then a couple of hours of practice, and you’ve got the ultimate party game
For duck hunt, you need a CRT television to play the light gun games for those that don’t know. More modern systems like the Wii got around this by using a light sensor that measured infrared light from the controllers to get a similar control scheme as an option.
You can get that free as Ur Quan Masters that has been ported to modern operating systems, with optional new renditions of the music that are pretty good.
I still think Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 hold up very well in terms of story and gameplay. The controls take a bit of getting used to, if you're used to how modern games play, but once you get the hang of it they are really an experience.
MGS 1 was my first mature rated game, and I actually managed to stumble my 8 or 9 year old way through a decent portion of the game with no idea what I was doing before my mother threw it away (claiming I must have done something with it, which I never got punished for so I don’t think my dad believed)
When I was a teenager, the second one came out and I was hooked after playing the tanker level, even though I didn’t get to play as Snake.
Honestly I think 1&2 are the ones you really need to get used to. 3 has some wonky sections as the camera changes angles, but for the most part it’s pretty close to “modern action/rpg”
I feel like the only time I ever hear people talking about this series is in the context of memes like Revolver Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot). The games really don’t get enough love.

I ran out of brain but maybe I’ll add more when I wake up.
After all these years, Flatout series (made by Bugbear) just got new updates: workshop support, steam cards etc. some devs are just different and rare in today’s gaming world.
The biggest drawback that may offset the enjoyment of a lot of the 90s JRPG are the random encounters, and the “wait for bars to fill” systems that makes nothing happen for long periods of time by either side.
If you’re into the '90s extreme aesthetic, I’d definitely recommend Comix Zone to get you neck-deep in it.
You play Sketch Turner, a comic artist who- along with his pet rat, Roadkill- gets sucked into his own comic by the comic’s villain, Mortus, who wants to trap Sketch forever so he can exist in the real world or something.
It’s a side-scroller beat 'em up where you move across the panels and pages of a comic book, punching and kicking mutants while the Sega sound chip blasts (occasionally grating but still awesome) grungy rock at you. If you’re into '90s shit, there’s nothing not to love
I finally lost it with all the spoon-feeding and the hand-holding during missions, and when daddy rockstar did not like it when I did not play EXACTLY how they wanted me to, standing in the wrong spot - mission failed, try a different strategy - mission failed, jumped directly outside Danbury’s window - guess what - mission failed because Danbury just had a divine vision and destroyed the documents in a second. Fuck this shit.
I’m not necessarily with you on the other points. I guess I’m used to NPCs only spewing generic, canned lines. But this sucks so much. Huge issue imo.
