True, it’s not that easy to find the good ones. Try browsing around RetroAchievement’s hubs, click a category you’re interested in, and then sort by “most players”. The popular games there might surprise you.

Losing interest? How about some shorter games that are super high quality all the way through?

• Kirby’s Adventure
• Super Mario Bros. 3
• The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX
• Gunstar Heroes
• Mega Man 4 (and then Rockman 4 Minus Infinity)
• Tetris Rosy Retrospection DX
• Hammerin’ Harry: Smash Smash Hammer Smash
• Klonoa: Door to Phantomile
• Streemerz
• Donkey Kong Country
• Star Fox 64
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

So, what kinds of games do you normally play? We can help you more if we know where you’re coming from.

I thought Soft Garden’s boss Jackle was a good fight. He tries to zone you out by throwing tarot cards at you, and it’s satisfying to slip through his cards and hit him.

Yay! I love Shiren 1 on the SNES and DS and I actually just started it again after seeing it get challenged on GameCenter CX. I still need to actually play the other Shiren games.

Is there a community for Shiren the Wanderer on Lemmy or Kbin? I don’t want to have to go back to Reddit for it.

I liked a lot of the parodies and jokes in Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but the game had too many frustrating parts in between them. About half of this game should have been left on the cutting room floor, but Rare wouldn’t cut their bad ideas out of the game unless Nintendo was supervising them.
