Favorite retro games? (lemmy.today)

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?

The original Super Mario Bros. and SMB 3. The first console I got to play as a child was the NES at my grandparents' house. Every couple of years I get a nostalgic craving and it’s usually those two games I return to. Also, there are many great rom hacks available if getting bored of the originals.

Smb3 is definitely my favorite classic mario, it's simple and fun, smw seems much more complicated tbh.

Still haven't beat it though.

That's awesome! I was born after the NES era, so I'm just now going back and checking out more 8-bit and 16-bit era games. I did of course play Super Mario Bros. and SMB 3 on my 3ds though, the platforming on SMB3 is still solid today.
