"Pick up and play" portable games? (lemm.ee)

I am an avid retro gaming fan. I mostly play JRPG games like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger but recently I've had very little time to enjoy big, complicated games. I am looking for recommendations for retro games that can be played over a longer peroid of time, but don't require a big time investment (re-) learning the systems or remembering the story. I play most of this stuff on emulators, so anything that can be emulated on my phone's Retroarch setup goes. Thanks in advance! :)

  • Puzzle Games
    • Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (GBA, other platforms)
    • Puzzle League (GBA, paired with Dr Mario same cart)
  • Roguelikes
    • Dragon Crystal (Sega Master System, GG too)
    • Shiren the Wanderer (Nintendo DS, others too)

I find puzzle & roguelikes the best for just diving in for a little bit and not worrying about when you drop off.
