I’ve been enjoying emulating games recently - mostly NES, ps1 and gba - and I’m looking to branch out from my limited familiarity as I mostly play games I’ve played in the past (and then it was mostly rentals- so very limited exposure lol).

What games would you recommend checking out? Basically across any ps1-equivalent generation system or earlier. I’m interested in the FF series but have no idea where to start either 🤷‍♂️

My rotation atm:

PS1: Medal of Honor, ssx,

GBA: Pokémon firered, wario

NES: castlevania, ninja gaiden

On PS1, the Darkstalkers series is fun if you like Fighting games.

If you can emulate any system, you definitely don’t want to play the PS1 ports of any 90 2D Capcom fighter, they’re pretty terrible.
