New refugee here. Ran away from the chaos that is "new gaming".

I've set up RPCS3, PSX2 and Duckstation (sorry Xbox and other consoles folks. I'm from a country where the PlayStation was the dominant force) and I've been having so much fun. What brought me back is the realization of how crappy most new games are. The infinite chase after those "shadows", "lights", and "details" has killed gaming. All of this made the hardware requirements really high, and good hardware is really expensive. Also, there is no joy in new games (at least for me). It's just all the same.

I've been going through a catalog of old games I've missed out on in my youth, and oh boy! Games were really good back then.

Edit: I welcome all the suggestions if you would like to suggest some good older games.

Crono Cross. You don't really need to emulate it though, it's on steam now.

With Radical Dreamers so you don’t need to patch a snes rom for that either.
