🎮 10 retro games every gamer should try | Nakamas Gamers
Hello, Nakamas! 👾🔥
Today we get nostalgic and travel back in time to remember those video games that shaped our childhood (or that we should have played). In the age of hyperrealistic graphics and ray tracing, sometimes it's worth returning to the classics that laid the foundation for the industry.
Here are 10 retro games every gamer should try at least once in their life. Ready for a dose of nostalgia?
🕹️ 1. Super Mario Bros. (1985) – NES
The king of platformers and the game that put Nintendo on the map. A simple title with timeless gameplay that's still fun today.
If you haven't played it, it's time to do so.
🕹️ 2. The Legend of Zelda (1986) – NES
The beginning of one of the most iconic sagas in history. The Legend of Zelda taught us that exploration and adventure can go hand in hand in video games.
“It’s dangerous to go alone, take this.”
🕹️ 3. Street Fighter II (1991) – Arcade/SNES
The fighting game that defined the genre. Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and company taught us what it meant to throw a good Hadouken and master old-school combos.
Are you a button masher or do you master every move?
🕹️ 4. Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) – SEGA Genesis
The world's fastest blue hedgehog brought us a revolution in platform games. Speed, rings, and one of the best retro gaming soundtracks.
SEGA or Nintendo? The eternal rivalry.
🕹️ 5. DOOM (1993) – PC
One of the fathers of FPS. If you like shooters, you must play DOOM at least once. Pure frenzy, metal music, and demons everywhere.
“Rip and tear, until it is done.”
🕹️ 6. Pokémon Red & Blue (1996) – Game Boy
The beginning of Pokémon fever. Catching, training, and battling creatures in an adventure that captivated millions of players.
Were you a Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle fan?
🕹️ 7. Final Fantasy VII (1997) – PlayStation
The RPG that shaped a generation. Cloud, Sephiroth, an unforgettable story, and turn-based combat that defined the genre.
If you didn't cry at a certain moment in the game, you have no soul.
🕹️ 8. Metal Gear Solid (1998) – PlayStation
Hideo Kojima gave us a masterpiece of narrative and stealth. If you like deep stories and innovative mechanics, this is a must-play.
"Snake? Snake?! Snaaaake!!!"
🕹️ 9. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (1998) – N64
Considered by many to be the best game of all time. Adventure, exploration, and an epic story that left its mark on the industry.
If you've never played it, now's the perfect time.
🕹️ 10. Resident Evil 2 (1998) – PlayStation
Survival horror at its finest. Raccoon City, zombies, puzzles, and that constant feeling of dread.
Leon and Claire had a bad time, but we enjoyed it to the fullest.
