    I'm looking for suggestions. I have tons of apps and to name everything, even just retro titles would take long so I'm just looking for others suggestions or their favorite retro titles.

    Either retro titles re-released or just new retro titles like Pix'n Love Rush for instance.

    Normally I would never quote myself, but I wrote a pretty long post in response to a similar question not long ago, and I really wouldn't want to write it all again. :eek:

    Here's my list. I'm sure you have most of them:

    Mage Gauntlet
    1-bit Ninja
    Chrono Trigger
    Secret of Mana
    The FF series (cost like a billion dollars tho)
    Aemula Oldies S
    Junk Jack
    Sword and Sworcery (not retro, but makes me feel that way)
    the Sonic games (several)
    Battle Squadron One
    Guardian Saga

    That's what I have (ive deleted a few, but kept most). I know there are tons i'm forgetting.

    Nice suggestions. I'll definitely check out titles mentioned here that I do not yet own.

    How about the Llamsoft games?

    Yeah like GoatUp or Minotron.

    I just noticed The Behemoth have the Alien Hominid PDA games so I purchased them.

    Your earlier post is very good medianotzu... although I would have especially highlighted Karoshi... Short, but one of the most hilarious, and sometimes hair pulling games I have played for many a month....

    Just bought Minotron: 2112 after the few Llamasoft comments. Looked like the one I'd enjoy most out of the four. If I like it a lot, I'm gonna pick up Minotaur Rescue tomorrow.

    Bit-1 is a decent retro platformer similar to LoE, Pixman, Mos Speedrun etc. Just came out today from the same dev who did Buster Red which is a retroish shooter...
