I should not need to explain this one.

I would really love to kill some time on my phone. The games I have tried include: Slay the spire, shattered pixel dungeon, unciv, dead cells. Other than that, are there any solid phone games or otherwise ports, paid or not?

Plenty of NES and SNES games emulate nicely on a phone, even with touch controls.

As do handheld systems like GB/GBA/DS/PSP. IMO they emulate even better on phones since those games were already designed for small, handheld screens.

But most modern phones can also handily emulate up to some newer consoles, like N64/PS1-era with ease, though I've found that touch controls becomes a lot harder the more modern the console goes.
