Some of my most played games in the past few months are:
- Animal Crossing (2001, GameCube)
- Pokémon Yellow (1998, Game Boy)
- Pokémon Crystal (2000, Game Boy Color)
- various Castlevania games, from the 1986 NES original, to currently Rondo of Blood (1993, TurboGrafx-16)
- God of War 1 & 2 (2005 & 2007, PS2)
Having a blast with these old games.
Also finished Breath of the Wild recently, which is a fairly new game, but still nearly 10 years old.

A little mercy please. Thank you!
Retro classics like Halo 3 and Breath of the Wild still hold up surprisingly well, being 20 and 10 years old respectively. (Sorry, couldn’t help myself.)

I’m working my way through Links Awakening DX HD. The enhancements make a fantastic game even better.

God of War 1 & 2 were such good games, especially 2. Then 3 was somehow even better. I’ve been playing Ragnarök this past month and I’m of half a mind to record a 2 hour rant video about how they are risking to destroy the series.

They somehow got me to play a ton of Wii and collectathons this year with events and… some retro games suck but they suck less with RA.

Retroarch is an amazing tool. It is also available on most phones now. Grab a BT controller or if you have a backbone that works too.
Ready to go with you games. Or do a nice setup on almost any computer at home.

Dolphin as well for Wii games. I was surprised when my 5 year old phone I paid maybe 150$ for could play most Wii games with zero lag.

Thought we were talking about games, not very long movies…
Back in the day I bought an edition of xenosaga ii that came with a dvd of xenosaga I cutscenes…

It was the height of long cutscene JRPGs.
But I recommend them wholeheartedly. Don’t expect super involved gameplay mechanics, but a solid turn based JRPG with lengthy cutscenes.
Also be sure not to skip out on Xenogears.
I only have played the Xenoblade Chronicles series. I will check the Xenogears.
The other option is Fire Emblem: Awakening. Never played a Fire Emblem game.
3 daysI keep saying, go back and play some of the portable stuff, 3DS/PSP is kind of golden era. They are designed with tight constraints in mind due to hardware limitations, battery life, and the portable nature meaning you could set the game down at any moment to get on with your life. This is in stark contrast to a lot of modern games that hammer your attention and try to keep you constantly engaged.
I just spent a bunch of time on Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (PSP) and Dragon Quest Monsters 2 (3DS). Both fan translations that I wouldn’t have been able to play back in the day anyways. Just some bright and colorful distractions.
I’ve been playing nothing but Pokemon ROM hacks for the last three weeks.

Emotional recommendation of the year: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of the Sky.
It’s almost upsetting having a 2009 pixel game have more emotional charge than a AAA with mocap and voice acting.
What’s funny is because of the price increases on computer hardware over the years, I’m now completely priced out of playing top of the line games at all. I don’t have the hardware to handle them and cannot afford to upgrade to them. In other news, I’m finding enjoyment in simple games like Mecha Chameleon and Deep Rock Galactic in terms of graphics.

I have a Bazzite home theater PC, running Steam. In fact I never play Steam games on it, it’s mostly Kodi or games from the 80s upto Switch games (Mario Kart) via Emulation Station.
