I’ve gone back and played a TON of ROMS in the past few years. Some were old favorites, some for the first time, and 80% of them are trash.
That’s not me hating on retro games, I play those more than anything else, but some companies were cranking out anything they could for those old systems.
On average, I lose interest in most retro games in under ten minutes (because it’s just not good). But the ones that grab me, I play for weeks until I’ve finished it.
Super Mario World or Donkey Kong Country are great side scrollers. Final fantasy 5 (translated) and 6 (published as 3 in the US) have been my favorite RPGs. I enjoyed Super Metroid much more than Castlevania even though they get clumped together in the same genre. Tetris & Dr Mario are great puzzle games.
