I've been playing some retro games recently (PS1 and prior) and I've been discovering a lot of games that I never thought I would enjoy. Particularly 90s arcade shmups and arcade style sports games.

What are some of your favorite retro games that you always find yourself coming back to?

I think that Tetris is probably the oldest game that I'll play some implementation of occasionally. I don't know if I'd call it my favorite, but it's aged very gracefully over the decades.

Legend of dragoon always holds a special place in my heart.

Grandia 2 is a magnificent game IMO.

I've had a Gameboy for most of my life so I'm a sucker for portables. Donkey Kong, Oracle of Seasons, Pokemon Crystal, and Super Mario Land 2 all get replayed with some regularity. For GBA the Golden Sun games are still in my top ten favorites to this day, and the SNES ports like Link to the Past and Super Mario World were great to have in my pocket.
