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?

    Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It inspired and perfected a genre of games. It holds up incredibly well.

      It’s hilarious and incredible how we still haven’t made a Metroidvania game that solidly and undeniably bests the game that added the -vania in the first place.

        Hollow Knight gives a pretty fucking solid try, to be fair. But yeah, I do agree.

          Hollow Knight never did it for me for some reason. I’m sure it’s great, but I just can’t get into it. Like, at all.
