I’d start with those games;
- Donkey Kong (Arcade), because the arcade game made Nintendo what it is today.
- Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64), one of the Nintendo 64’s first ever games, my cousin introduced me to it and I loved it as a kid.
- DOOM 64 (Nintendo 64), a port to the N64, it is the grandfather of FPS.
- Goldeneye 007 (Nintendo 64), the father of FPS, and it started the era of the modern FPS you usually see from AAA publishers nowadays.
- Metal Gear Solid (Playstation), if you had a Playstation back then, then you have probably heard of this game, which is considered one of the greatest games of all-time.
- Any of the Spyro the Dragon games on Playstation, I actually never played them myself, but it’s undoubtedly a classic to play.
- The Crash Bandicoot games on Playstation, again, I never played them, but it’s also a cult classic.
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64), one of the greatest games of all-time, also defined the N64 too.
- Perfect Dark (Nintendo 64), the spiritual successor to Goldeneye 007. A very good game to play, that also pushed the N64 to its limits too, as the N64 was at its EOL.
- F-ZERO GX (GameCube), you don’t usually see this game recommend to anyone looking to play some retro games, but this, my opinion, is the best F-Zero game in the franchise. It’s very difficult, but once you get used to it, it’s rewarding.
The most important part about playing, is to have fun! I hope you enjoy the games you play!
