What games have you replayed in adulthood that still held up? (hexbear.net)

I just bought a handheld emulator (Anbernic RG35XX) and I’m now overwhelmed with options.

I’m also expecting to be destroyed by the games some of you were playing as children, but whatever. Anything PS1 and older is appreciated.

Age of Empires 2.

I absolutely suck at multiplayer, but it really is a fun game. I liked how its campaign mode teaches you history too. It got two remasters, and both are quite good in their own way. 2013 has visuals similar to the originals, and Definitive has its visuals vastly improved but kept the gameplay same.

As for consoles, Chrono Trigger for SNES is the most remarkable game I can think of. It takes time travel very well, I was honestly surprised how such a game was made at that era.

If you want a more casual game, Puyo Puyo for Genesis could do well. It could be hard when you first get into it. The games back then were written to be more difficult to get more playtime out of games; and the AI can easily catch you off guard with big chains. (Its english counterpart for Mega Drive is called Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, but the game is easily understood as it is already.)

You should definitely check out Project Celeste. It's an opensource revamp of AOE-Online with great single player campaigns and multiplayer mode. They are constantly adding content and campaigns to the game.

I love that they are still updating AoE2 (at least the latest remaster) with balance patches and new content despite its age
