If you like those games then here is my list:
>Halo
>Half-Life
>Mario 64
>Final Fantasy 7
>Sonic 2
>Metroid Zero Mission
>Castlevania SotN

I'll give a short comment on each game and how I'd recommend playing them:
>Halo 1
"The Master Chief Collection" is on PC and Xbone/XSX and contains the best versions of its included games. You can press Tab (or select on the controller) to switch between the original and the remastered "Anniversary" graphics, but Halo 1's Anniversary mode is very controversial; play that in classic mode. Halo 2's Anniversary mode however looks excellent.
>Half-Life
Play the original instead of Black Mesa. BM is really pretty but it really overstays its welcome by stretching what were once the final few chapters into half the total runtime, and missing the point of these chapters all the while
>Mario 64
The DS version is great but should only be played AFTER the original. I recommend playing the original with this patch: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4905/
>Final Fantasy 7
There's lots of mods for the PC version but if you ask me, the game just doesn't look right that way; the graphics and animations lose all plausible deniability when upscaled. I'd emulate the PSX version at 240p with this retranslation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H5eZ0TtjeSq3bVzZAUNpXEsAk-1U8i0w/view
>Sonic 2
What can I say? It's a classic. There's no wrong way to play this game.
>Metroid Zero Mission
It's only on GBA so yeah emulate that
>SotN
No wrong way to play this game. I prefer the PSP version that was included in Dracula X Chronicles due to the new translation and voice cast
