Games

Earthbound, gotta play that at least once in your life.

Chrono trigger, still one of the greatest games of all time.

Final Fantasy 6(US 3) there is debate, but widely regarded as the best one overall still. 7 is the other strongest contender, but if you are gonna play that one, don't play the retro one, as one of the very first polygonal games, it's hard to look at now.

Zelda (3), a link to the past.

There are certainly more, but those'll last you a few months.

Edit: Suppose I can't really get by without saying Rock n' Roll Racing.

Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Shinobi, Gunstar Heroes, Splatterhouse 3.

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.

Grandia 2 is a magnificent game IMO.

I just started my nostalgia hunt lately, and firstly it's Digimon World after watching some content about it. It's still hold up quite well tbh, even though it does show its age with its system.

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.
