Favorite retro games? (lemmy.today)

I've been playing some retro games recently (PS1 and prior) and I've been discovering a lot of games that I never thought I would enjoy. Particularly 90s arcade shmups and arcade style sports games.

What are some of your favorite retro games that you always find yourself coming back to?

Flashback

I played it on the SNES. It's a sci-fi platformer that I felt shared themes with movies like Total Recall, They Live, Blade Runner, Running Man.

You start as Conrad, who has crash landed on Titan, being chased by mysterious bad guys, and with no memory of why. All you have is a gun, and a video recording of yourself telling you where to go for the next clue.
