Post your favorite retro game. Have people recommend you similar games or games you might enjoy based on your tastes. Keep it retro.

My favorite game: Super Metroid.

Well that's a choice made wisely so far.
I just worry a bit 'cause I watched the pre-alpha trailer and it felt like the movements of the characters were WAY too smooth. I kind of had a rhythm down in the first two games with the steps Abe and whoever you possessed took.

Great taste. I remember as a kid getting a TG16 bundled with Bonk's Adventure and Keith Courage in Alpha Zones and just loving it. When they announced Bonk's Revenge, I was super excited and it ended up being an amazing game.

I feel like so many people are overlooking the PC Engine/TG16 when it comes to retro. Soooo many good games.

This game is cute as hell but DAMN do I suck at it. I do love these types of games though... Like Touhou and Raiden and Space Megaforce.
But P&R have a nice change of not going in one straight line the entire time, which is nice.

But it's still fucking hard for me to beat hah.

Here are my favorite games (no pic, posting from my phone)

>>SNES
>Super Mario World

>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

>>Genesis/Megadrive
>Sonic series
>Vectorman
>Shining Force series
>Phantasy Star II and IV
>Ristar
>Dynamite Heddy

i really like 16 bit sidescrollers and RPGs.

Should be worth saying to always get the european version of FFIV because it fixes horrible and stupid bugs.

My 3x3 is close enough to being all retro games, I guess.
It should do.
I like arcadey games where you shoot stuff and dodge the things. More of that please.

>>534483
When are you going to play Saturn Bomberman?

Also, have you ever played Silent Bomber?
I'd highly recommend it.
It feels to me like what a 3D single-player Bomberman should have been like.

You could always try Treasure's other 2D platformers if you haven't already: McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure and Mischief Makers.
