K this is prob gonna get me some looks but one of my fav NES games I own is “North & South” (Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT1xuEEvRu4)

Which is almost exactly what it sounds like… A simple sort of strategy game with minigame pvp platforming sections and a primitive RTS style overhead battle system.

Really bizarre for a NES game to have several different gameplay modes that all are kind of good tbh.

Awful premise for a game casually “both sidesing” slavery. Even when I was a kid and saw it at the video store in the early 90’s I was like “That’s kinda messed up isn’t it?”.

Eventually my older brother rented it and yeah. Fun game. Please don’t judge me too harshly.

Played thru halo 1 and 2 on legendary in the master chief collection a few months ago and it was just as fun if not more fun than the first time in the 2000s. Amazing games to this day fun all the way through.

Halo 1 and 2 are my favorite shooters ever. AI and gameplay FAR beyond anything else at the time including Half-Life 2 which IMO is overrated. That’s not even considering the multiplayer.

Wolfenstein: The New Order deserves a mention as well for putting single player shooters back on the map. Incredible game not afraid to push the envelope.
