Emulation (lemmy.world)

What are your favourite games to relive your nostalgia on what emulator? I used to play the hell out of Monkeyball on gamecube so I enjoy using Dolphin for that or Mario Sunshine.

Emulation has given me a wide backlog of great titles to play in the midst of "AAA" sludge.

What's your impression on emulation? What is your favourite thing about it?

Cheers!

I've been using emulation pretty much since I started playing games. It's actually one of the main reasons gaming became my passion (and eventually major money drain).

My favorite thing? I don't have to shuffle different devices to play everything I want - it's even more importent now, since I have a Steam Deck and can have all of them on the go again.

Here's a short list of titles I love that don't show up too often in threads like this one:

  • Tetris DX (GBC / mGBA)
  • Fantasy Golf Pangya (PSP / PPSSPP)
  • Persona 3 Portable (PSP / PPSSPP) - just started NG+ with female protagonist
  • Puzzle Quest - Challenge of the Warlords (PSP / PPSSPP)
  • Ridge Racer 2 (PSP / PPSSPP)
  • Parasite EVE (PSX / DuckStation)
  • Captain Toad Tresure Tracker (Switch / Yuzu)

I'm not going to dump my whole library here but these are fun and rare enough worth mention.

Not sure Persona 3 belongs with the others seeing as it just got another rerelease in the form of Persona 3 Reload. Currently playing it on my Series X and it's great. Unfortunately no female protagonist though.

Other than that, Parasite Eve is one of my personal favorites.

I'd agree about P3R if not for the fact that despite remaking the game Atlus still couldn't be bothered to make a definitive edition of P3.

Besides that, you could also argue P3P doesn't really belong here due to being available on Steam but the question was about our favorite games played on an emulator and PSP version is what I'm playing right as I'm typing this :P

Parasite Eve is great, isn't it? I wish we got more RPGs like this set in modern times.
