Game Recommendations

Here's a selection of retro games I either felt were really good and recommend you check out or I thought were interesting enough to talk about for some other reason. I'm trying to stay away from the really famous ones for each system, since you and I already know how we feel about those. Games are no longer rated because my grading scale sucked and I don't like assigning numbers to things. You're here to read, so read, dammit.

Now featuring an RSS feed for new game reviews! You should totally be using RSS if you're not—it's a way for tiny sites like us to let you know when we've updated without needing to rely on social media to do it. Here's a good roundup of some modern ones; I'm sure if you're bright enough to use an old PC in 2025, you can find a good one for your system.

I will have more consoles and more recommendations for you all in the future!
