    The sheer amount of games available today probably makes it hard to get into many of the older gems. Hell, even I have a 30 year backlog.

    I think everyone should explore:

    • The Secret of Monkey Island (1, 2 and return)
    • Loom
    • Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
    • Street Rod
    • Prince of Persia
    • The Incredible Machine
    • Pokémon yellow/red/blue
    • Chrono Trigger
    • Worms
    • Mega Man II
    • TMNT: Turtles in Time
    • Diablo II
    • Burnout 3/legends/takedown
    • Skyrim

      There are so many ‘Prince of Persia’ games that you need to add a year to be more specific.

        So they finally made a sequel?

        I’m thinking about the 1989 version. There’s many ports, but DOS/Amiga/Macintosh are all good. Even the C64 port is great.

      Would you recommend a ssoecific Worms game for PC? I have “Worms” (that’s the whole game title) on PS3 which has modern 2D graphics but idk which edition to get on Steam to get a similar experience, there are so many Worms games.

        Just Worms that got all the ports.

        I haven’t tried the 2007 version that you speak of, but it might be good. I’ve played a couple of rounds of WMD on my switch, and as I recall the gameplay was similar.

        Of course, you need one or three friends in your couch to pass the controller around to to get the full experience.
