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?

Chrono Trigger (Probably the best JRPG ever made, or even the best game ever made)

Terranigma (Very philisophical action RPG that also happens to be a lot of fun)

Silent Hill (The vibes alone make this one, but it also has a great story)

DOOM (This one should be obvious)

Majora's Mask (An emotional powerhouse of a game)

Tetris

Also pick any mainline console Mario game that came out between 1985 and 1996 (not including The Lost Levels, but including US SMB 2)

Super Mario Land 2

Pokemon 2nd gen

All GOAT, but all for different reasons.
