Retron gaming

Go to solution Solved by linkboy,

The Legend of Zelda games, especially A Link to the Past. It's been one of my favorite games since I first played it back in 1992.

 

The original Zelda might be a bit rough around the edges, but it does hold up to this day. The second one is a good game (not as good as Zelda 1 or A Link to the Past), but it's a game I can't recommend for someone new to the series.

 

A Link to the Past hits a good balance of not being to hard, but still offers a decent challenge. It also expands on everything the first game did.

I just bought a game system called the retron 3, as the name suggests it plays games from the Sega Genesis, SNES, and NES, I currently have super Mario Bros and Tetris for the NES and Mrs pacman for the Sega. I'm asking your opinion as to what games you would recommend to a beginner collector and also if you could link me to a cartridge of the 1981 galaxian game, if it even exists outside of an arcade machine

Sonic the hedgehog all the way. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
