SNES - Act Raiser - It's quite literally a mix of RTS and 2d action platforming. You build and manage your villiage while protecting it from monsters. Highly recommend!

N64 - Kirby 64 - Kirby is a game series that lets you eat enemies and gain their power. This one lets you combine powers! You can make fun combos, like rock + fire to make yourself a volcano, or electricity + bombs to make yourself into fireworks. Really fun and easygoing game! Worth playing through at least once.

PS2 - Parappa the Rapper 2 - A fun and weird game, Parappa 2 is a rhythm game where you have to repeat the raps your opponent dishes out using the face and L&R buttons. The setting and story make this game more than worth it, as you'll be saving the town against shrink rays, a mad hairstylist, and a noodle-hungry maniac. It's another fairly short game, you can beat it in two sittings if you're good. There's also a fun vs multiplayer mode.

You don’t have to limit yourself to old games if you don’t want to. If you’re into Pokemon there are some pretty good Romhacks out there. I liked Unbound a lot and I’m playing Liquid Crystal at the moment.

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.

I just checked the compatibility list for PCSX2.

Baldur's Gate DA1 - https://forums.pcsx2.net/...

Baldur's Gate DA2 - https://forums.pcsx2.net/...

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.

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.

Honestly, I think if a game was good back then, it's still good now. There's just a bit of an adjustment period.

I very much enjoyed E.V.O.: Search for Eden when I whipped out a SNES emulator a few years ago, though I have never played it on the original console.

Also, of course, the Donkey Kong games on SNES (almost) never get old.

There was the original Clock Tower game for SNES that had a patched version available somewhere to translate the text to English. No clue where I found it, but that game was great.

This is a bit of an outlier because it's actually on PS3, but it's a lightweight game so emulation isn't too taxing. I went back and played Tokyo Jungle. Such a wild game and with nothing I've found that compares to this day. You play as animals in a Tokyo that has been reclaimed by nature, you hunt for food, grow stronger and find mates, and try to survive against predators. I love it

For Ps2 you easily need to try out the Holy Trinity of platformers

Ratchet & Clank 1-4

Jak and Daxter 1-X

Sly Cooper 1-3

All great for different reasons and surprisingly good stories for platformers with Sly being the deepest.
