I was having a conversation a few days ago with a fan that loves my work in Five Nights at Freddy’s- kid is 18. We started talking games and I find out he’s never played Castlevania or Streets of Rage. I was shocked. So- this piece, which I know is written in a far different tone than my usual journalistic flair- is for you and all the other teens that need to get back to basics or for the dads out there that need to separate their kids from Roblox. Have them play these instead. Please.
The Legend of Zelda: The action RPG that so many games take something from. Epic boss battles, great music, a game that begs to be explored, it has something for everyone.
Ice Hockey: It’s a sport that is niche to many, but this is a game that’ll make them a fan and is even better with friends.
Robotron: It’s still a sexy twin-stick shooter. It’s frenetic and a fever dream that’ll give your fingers a workout.
Castlevania: It feels like every indie game steal from this and Metroid these days. Play this one and then everything else becomes clearer.
Super Mario Brothers 3: Nothing against every other SMB game- but this is the one that hit all the notes. This is the one that walked so Super Mario World could run.
