You can with PJ64 1.6, you just have to switch settings at the end of the round before you check in with Oak. (Disable z-buffer? I forget, look it up online.) I think you can look at your photos before you send them for review, but then you can't see them for review, or something.

Probably Dark Souls
It's unique in the way that it's still as challenging as games used to be 15 years ago.
It's one of the last unic hornes in a flock donkeys, and basically the only modern game(s) I really like (apart from some multiplayer games/retro indies/and/or heavy mod supported games perhaps).

Insiders 1 for the PC-88 and PC-98 is bizarre, a CRPG all about computer education and delving into a computer system Tron-style. You can only keep your experience by solving binary logic operations right after winning a battle, for example. The game starts in the computer's hardware and then moves into an even stranger software part of the game. It's like if Yuji Horii went the opposite direction from how Dragon Quest ended up, instead thinking he needed to focus his audience by going towards something esoteric.
