Hey all, I’m interested in playing some emulated games on my steamdeck, but I’m not sure where to start.

I’ve been having fun with Super Mario World, but a good chunk of that is because I played it a lot as a kid, so much of my enjoyment is from nostalgia.

Problem is, I didn’t play many too many games when I was a kid…

What older games out there would you say hold up in 2025? So that regardless of the nostalgia factor, they can be enjoyed by someone like me

    I play through Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 at least once a year. It is largely nostalgia for me, but goddamn those games are fantastic.

    3 is much less so, unfortunately.

    Yoshi’s Island is also worth diving into. One of the best 2D Platformers ever made.
