Top 10 Retro Video Games That Still Hold Up Today | Must-Play Classics for Retro Gamers 

Thanks Hans. Now we have a chapter list. Ho. Ho. Ho.

Final fantasy 3 should easily be on the top 10. Has held up well even for today’s rpgs.

It's very easy to get sucked in again.

Yikes.

Please get it back out and do not do anything else until completed. On my death bed I will never regret a single time playing this. By far the greatest game ever in my eyes.

And we still have no worthy arrangement of its over world theme.

Agree!

@@marcamico5254 I know that it is regarded as the worst, but I remember loving Castlevania II - Simon’s Quest back in the day.

Symphony of night was the best imo

@@GabrielBishop Castlevania SotN and Super Metroid triggered a new game genre : Metroidvanias Those two should be on all best games list...

I know Turbo is more popular than Super in the States, but I have to mention it is the superior SF2 version on the SNES. The first thing you will say now is that the speed sucks, but it is adjustable in the main menu. Other than that, more characters, more moves for each characters, more game modes, better graphics and better sound. Besides that, Alpha 2 (or Zero 2) it is crazy that this game even runs on the SNES Hardware.

Came here to say the same thing!

​@@stefanfriedrich6699nah, super Street fighter 2 was nowhere near as good as Turbo. The gameplay was way less satisfying somehow.

I still enjoy it very much

Thank you

You'd probably still want to be rescued cause you'd have no food.

​@@Simon0Manhattan is an island and there is plenty of food there.

@@Hampsteri42 oh yeah. Well. You knew what I meant anyway 😎

I’m just envisioning sitting on an island with ten video game cartridges deteriorating in the salty air

Super metroid is awesome - I mean the music alone crates such an atmosphere. Sadly I have played it through too many times wit h couple of "get everything" runs so the magic of "maybe theres something I havent't dscovered" is gone. But I remember well how I used to play allmost to the end and then strat going through all the rooms X-raying everything.

I almost passed out playing a heated game of Mario Kart 64

I find castlevania Symphony of the night the best aged ps1/Saturn game. I recently played it on Android and it doesn't feel old at all

@@stijnvonck1431 yea and the original Rayman for PS1 , still great to look at

🤣🤣

@funcionapramim thanks for watching. Brazil, very cool. I'm a big fan of Bruno Giumaraes and Joelinton ⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

Thank you, fellow gamer 💪

On the other hand, thousands of Trash games were sold for the same 160

I lived in a small border town in Victoria Australia for a bit, there was only one store that sold games and I paid $130 for doom on the snes in around 92…

A lot of gamers these days don't understand the concept of inflation, it seems, they're just fixated on that magical number 60 for a price point. Someday when eggs cost us $60 they'll probably still insist videogames be no more than $70...

for 50 bucks i got one of those fake consoles and played all those games for free like 500 in 1 game or so

At least back then, when you bought a game, that was all that you had to pay to play it…

Thank you so much brother, I've got plenty more stuff lined up.

@@stuartdavidson162 awesome games

Thanks for watching 💪

🤣 thank you

They just never get old my friend. Thanks for watching.

I never got into any of the _Metroid_ games until somebody started mashing them up in a randomizer with _A Link to the Past._ But now that I have, I've got to say that they look pretty fun, if they're actually survivable for more than five minutes...!!

Thank you so much

Ha ha. That's my geordie accent 🤣

Ret-ro like we’re listening to Scooby Doo

@@drewmantia that's a new one 🤣🤣

I thought so Scooby Doo, too!!

been playing the game for over 30 years

Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it.

Go for it!

It's a really great game.

That's an awesome list.

metal slug

Great list! Love seeing Wizards and Warriors included!

How bout the amazing DKC?

Thank you

It's timeless. Thanks for watching.

FFVI and Zombies are great shouts. Maybe I should do another list? Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. I have the SNES Classic too, I modded it to include a lot more games that came on it.

Did you do the mod yourself? That would be a fantastic video to watch. 😉

@steelman774 I did, it's very easy.

Happy times

Great list!

We would've gotten along like brothers back in the day! Suikoden and FF6 are my two favorite RPGs ever!

@@johntracy72 I like it

Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

Thanks for watching pal.

@tokenblack7983 thank you, I appreciate it.

@trav7424 good shout!

Thank you

Thank you!

@@ryanraze fair comment

So true! I consider this one of the best rpgs of all time.

There are some tremendous hacks.

They really do

Thank you

Great freakin' comment! 🤣 Thanks for watching.

Great list 👌

@@MichaelHill-sg8ks Great list!

You know it, thanks for watching.

It's such a wonderful game.

Final Fantasy VI (or III) is close on it’s heels but can’t beat the artstyle of Crono!

Chrono Trigger is the greatest game ever made.

Suikoden II is right up there with Chrono Trigger

As far as I'm concerned Chrono Trigger is as close to a perfect game as can be made, though Sifu is a modern game that I'd put in that running as well. Just need more time to pass to really know if it holds up like how Chrono Trigger does.

Very much so.

Not even then.

If we are talking console releases only, I got to say Turtles in Time for me was more enjoyable, but still SoR2 was up there. If we include arcade releases as well, it wasn't even top ten, with things like Alien vs Predator, The Punisher, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, just to name a few, kicking its butt all day long

@jimmybenyoucef4416 that is an awesome list, the snes was an amazing machine.

@gradsgames Indeed, Nintendo has a special place in my heart. I grew up on Nes, Snes & N64. Also, I love ur channel, my friend. I'm such a retro lover myself. Appreciate the content ♥️🫶🙏

@jimmybenyoucef4416 thank you, I appreciate the kind words.

This is the best list.
