The sheer amount of games available today probably makes it hard to get into many of the older gems. Hell, even I have a 30 year backlog.

I think everyone should explore:

  • The Secret of Monkey Island (1, 2 and return)
  • Loom
  • Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
  • Street Rod
  • Prince of Persia
  • The Incredible Machine
  • Pokémon yellow/red/blue
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Worms
  • Mega Man II
  • TMNT: Turtles in Time
  • Diablo II
  • Burnout 3/legends/takedown
  • Skyrim

Crono Trigger is a real gem for an early SNES RPG. Highly recommend.

There are so many 'Prince of Persia' games that you need to add a year to be more specific.

So they finally made a sequel?

I'm thinking about the 1989 version. There's many ports, but DOS/Amiga/Macintosh are all good. Even the C64 port is great.

Would you recommend a ssoecific Worms game for PC? I have "Worms" (that's the whole game title) on PS3 which has modern 2D graphics but idk which edition to get on Steam to get a similar experience, there are so many Worms games.

[–] HarriPotero@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Just Worms that got all the ports.

I haven't tried the 2007 version that you speak of, but it might be good. I've played a couple of rounds of WMD on my switch, and as I recall the gameplay was similar.

Of course, you need one or three friends in your couch to pass the controller around to to get the full experience.
