I’m gifting my friend’s child a handheld emulator and loading it up with games. It’s capable of playing things pretty much up to Nintendo GameCube (It’s even running Twilight Princess, though it studders in some areas).

I’ve got pretty much everything that exists for NES, SNES, N64, as well as a couple dozen games for Genesis. I never had a Sega Saturn or a PS / PS2 growing up though and I’m wondering what I should grab for those, as well as some more obscure GameCube titles if there are any I should know about.

Here’s your chance to wax nostalgic about some old games and help ensure they make it into a kid’s present. Even if I have the game already, I can still throw suggestions into the “favorites” list and make them easier to find.

    For Genesis: There’s the Sonics (Sonic 1, 2, 3&K), Rocket Knight Adventure, Gunstar Heroes, Contra: Hard Corps (get the JP version since the US version is a lot harder), and Shining Force II.

    If there’s a way for you to get Neo-Geo, you could add the Metal Slugs (1, 2, 3) plus a whole bunch of fighting games as well. GBA games like Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Advance Wars are also good.
