Introduce yourself with four video games.
I've done some of these before with mainly console games, so this time I'll (appropriately) stick with four of my core C64 and Amiga faves and games I play the most on them.

Medieval England seen through the lens of a Capcom beat 'em up inspired by King Arthur was a wild smorgasbord of light RPG elements, tigers, a samurai warrior, and a Gearpunk golem standing in the way of saving a kingdom!

Absolutely recommend using this relocalization hack for your next playthrough of the NTSC-U version. It polishes it up with adding missing dialogue, plotlines, and more character banter.

I rented it back in the days when you could rent SNES games in the US. I thought it was cool, but like nobody was talking about it. And then I saw it on clearance regularly. Oddly, it took me a while to find a copy of my own.
The game sold terribly in the US. In Japan, it sold okay.

Can younger gamers stop trying to retcon Earthbound as being some massively successful earth shaking culturally significant game of its time.
None of that is true. It was a massive flop when it released.

This is my Evercade collection. I can play these via emulation & roms but I enjoy collecting physical media & the price point is just right for me. I also like feeling part of a modern retro community. Evercade has its faults but I think Blaze are doing a great job in a tough market. #Evercade
