Good picks but I’d take the PC version of San Andreas for the mods. Mario 64 also runs on PC nowadays much smoother than the original version thanks to decompilation

Earthbound soooo much! It’s an amazing series that holds up extremely well.

I really liked GTA Vice City Stories, Daxter, Burnout Legends, God of War — Ghost of Sparta and Flatout: Head On. All of those are for PSP, PPSSPP is a really good emulator for the console and its saves are cross-platform.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 on PS2 are excellent action RPGs

I remember trying to get these to work a while back and failing… I wonder how they are working now. Might give it a shot later. Thanks for reminding me of these gems.

The first one came out on Gamecube, so if it doesn’t work on PS2 or Xbox emulators, Dolphin will for sure work since it’s much more mature.

I just checked the compatibility list for PCSX2.

Baldur’s Gate DA1 - https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Baldur-s-Gate-Dark-Alliance-SLUS-20035-U--29280?amp%3Baction=lastpost

Baldur’s Gate DA2 - https://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Baldur-s-Gate-Dark-Alliance-2-SLUS-20675-U?amp%3Baction=lastpost

Both games seem to be fully playable from start to end. DA1 has a fix listed for some of the issues. DA2 has a 4GB patch listed.

You might want to try both of these if you decide to give them another go.

I enjoy super mario world. Games primo mario action. Super mario RPG is great as well.

OOT and SM64 are great play throughs, and if you’re interested in learning some speed run tech it can expand the fun.

PS2, you gotta play some GTA vice city and San Andreas. Shadow of the colossus is great.
