Weird to gatekeep what a “real” rpg is, implying it’s turn based, then mention games which are “active time”, like SoM or FF7.

Fair criticism. I should avoid gatekeeping. Enjoy what you enjoy.

Alright lots of recommendations in here, some that are making me question how old I am now since some of these don’t strike me as old enough to require a recommendation but I’ll just suggest one as a bit of a dark horse.

Tyrian 2000, the classic PC Shmup of a time long gone. Oh and I guess Jazz Jackrabbit cause that soundtrack is funky.

After all these years, Flatout series (made by Bugbear) just got new updates: workshop support, steam cards etc. some devs are just different and rare in today’s gaming world.

The biggest drawback that may offset the enjoyment of a lot of the 90s JRPG are the random encounters, and the “wait for bars to fill” systems that makes nothing happen for long periods of time by either side.

NoIntro Romsets on Archive.org for roms.

4chan’s Emulation General thread wiki for emulators etc.

They only care as far as going after large targets running rom sites (archive is much more than that, so they skirt by) and emulation of modern consoles (they go after the devs). They will never go after an individual just direct downloading and emulating shit.

Well, if you can afford it, the SNES classic has most of the stuff worth playing, with a couple of curiosities thrown in.
