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

    the Metal Gear Solid games on the PS1 and PS2 are still wonderful games. The controls may be a bit clunky, coming from modern games, but you get used to it after a while. (There’s some things you will have to look up on the internet in MGS1 because they require information from the CD case lol)

    I always liked the Megaman X games on the SNES as well.

      What about the pressure sensitive buttons from PS2? Those MGS games really needed that feature.
