I’ve essentially only emulated Pokemon games from my childhood and their romhacks previously. But now I’m looking to play things I just completely missed because I was too young, not born, or didn’t have the system then.

So what are your favorites?

Emulating on Android with Lemuroid btw.

    The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and more recently Link’s Awakening. Also the older Pokemon gameboy titles.

      So I’ve never played a single Zelda game. Which one do I start on?

      I did play like 2 hours of BoTW on switch and just never got back to it.

        A Link to the Past is the one you want to start on. It’ll get you right to the heart of what makes the classic Zelda games so good. If that’s too retro for you, play Ocarina of Time, you can’t go wrong with that masterpiece.

            There are exceptions, but for most games, given a choice between SNES and GBA versions, the SNES one is better. Usually sound is severely compressed on the GBA and the visuals are washed out.

              Some of the GBA remakes also added in voice tracks, like Mario saying “Just what I needed!” whenever you get a mushroom, or Link doing his grunts and “hii-yahs” whenever you swing the sword. I guess I could see how some people might think those were neat, but I mostly found them annoying, especially given the quality of the GBA audio.

            If you’re doing emulation, just go SNES. GBA is only worth playing if you’re going to play it on an actual GBA.
