- [Atari ST Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/atari-st-games/): As an Amiga owner growing up, researching and playing the games on this Atari ST games list has been a really enjoyable experience, finding that the Atari ST really did have more going for it than perhaps it was given credit for, especially in its earlier years when the Amiga was prohibitively expensive, the Atari ST was in a league of its own.
- [32X Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/32x-games/): Virtua Racing Deluxe was a sufficient reason to splash out on a 32X back in 1994 and remains one of the finest 32X games ever made for the add-on.
- [Taito Arcade Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/taito-arcade-games/): Taito has a reputation for being a pioneer in arcade video games since the 1970s, even before this time they were known for their electro-mechanical games in the 1960s, so have a genuine heritage in the gaming industry.
- [ATR: All Terrain Racing – Amiga Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/atr-all-terrain-racing-commodore-amiga-review/): ATR: All Terrain Racing, released in 1995 by Team 17, is a top-down racer for the Commodore Amiga and was also released on the CD32. Here we review the standard Amiga version.
- [Sega Master System Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sega-master-system-games/): Hang-On is one of the more well-known Master System games because it was one of the games originally included as a built-in game on the original Master System. Hang-On is a very smooth, fast race against the clock motorbike racer.
- [ZX Spectrum Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/zx-spectrum-games/): Putting together a list of ZX Spectrum games recommendations is quite a task since there are said to be in excess of 12,000 games on the system, but here I whittle through some of the more well known titles, a couple of less well known as well as a couple of more recent ZX Spectrum homebrew games.
- [PlayStation Launch Games in the UK & Europe](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/playstation-launch-games-uk-europe/): 1995 was a big year for gamers, it marked the transition from 16-Bit consoles, to the new CD-based 32-Bit consoles (bar the N64!) and 3D gaming. The Sony PlayStation had been long hyped, especially with it originally launching in Japan the year before in December, but finally, on the 29th September 1995, the Sony PlayStation launched in the UK and the rest of Europe.
- [Amiga Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/commodore-amiga-games/): So, another Amiga games list, it’s not as though it’s not been done before has it? But that said, it is hard to resist putting together my own list of Amiga classics.
- [ZX Spectrum Homebrew Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/zx-spectrum-homebrew-games/): ZX Spectrum homebrew games are independently developed games that are created by amateur developers (and also professionals!), often as a hobby. These games are programmed using BASIC or machine code and can be downloaded or purchased online.

- [Neo Geo Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/neo-geo-games/): Let's take a look at some truly classic Neo Geo games and why they're still worth playing today, even if you have to pay a pretty penny to get your hands on them.
- [Atari 7800 Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/atari-7800-games/): This list of best Atari 7800 games may not have the flashy graphics or complex storylines of modern games, but they more than make up for it with their charm and simplicity. From racing to fighting to catching tiles, the Atari 7800 had a little something for everyone.
- [Sega CD Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sega-cd-games/): The Sega CD is possibly the point where the mighty Sega started to get it wrong. The Sega CD was quite an extravagant purchase when first released. At $299 USD / £270 GBP, it was twice the cost of the Sega Genesis itself, but the Sega CD really looked like it might deliver the goods.
- [SNES Racing Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/snes-racing-games/): In this article, we'll revisit the SNES racing games that had us skidding, flipping, and even occasionally rage-quitting our way to victory.
- [GBA Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/gba-games/): The GBA series of Pokemon games were HUGE and they cannot be underestimated in their influence on 2000s gaming. So be sure to experience these original GBA games, Pokémon Emerald is a great place to start.
- [Kirby GBA Games – Handheld Cuteness Overload](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/kirby-gba-games/): The Game Boy Advance has 3 Kirby games, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (2002), Kirby Slide (2003), and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (2004). Here we take a look at each of the Kirby GBA games on Nintendo's last Game Boy handheld console.
- [TMNT NES Games: 8-Bit Turtle Power!](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/tmnt-nes-games/): We look at the four TMNT NES games that came in the form of an action platformer, side-scrolling arcade beat 'em ups, and a street fighter inspired one on one fighter.
- [Atari Lynx Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/atari-lynx-games/): Released in 1989, the Atari Lynx, with its colourful backlit screen and many arcade titles, dared to challenge the Game Boy's reign in the world of handheld gaming with its sheer horsepower. Whilst it did not quite dethrone Nintendo's monochrome king, it left behind a treasure trove of innovative and impressive arcade conversions.
- [ColecoVision Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/colecovision-games/): Perhaps the ColecoVision is underappreciated these days, with most of the nostalgia tending to head more Atari's way, but this list of ColecoVision games will show you that this boxy-looking console with odd controllers, actually had a lot going for it.
- [Commodore 64 Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/commodore-64-games/): Being a gamer in the 1980s was an exciting time, there were multiple systems you could own, each with its own unique looks, strengths, and weaknesses. It's not like today where pretty much every system's ports look the same, just with differences in frame rates, textures, and resolutions, back then, the same game by name, was sometimes a completely different game between competing systems!
- [Amiga Racing Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/amiga-racing-games/): Whoever said "Why not race on all terrains?" must've been a genius! ATR: All Terrain Racing is one of the Amiga racing games that blends fast-paced arcade-style racing with multiple different types of terrain to race on, snow, forest, and desert.
- [Sega Genesis Racing Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sega-genesis-racing-games/): Fasten your seatbelts and rev up your engines as we take a nostalgic drive with some classic Sega Genesis racing games.
- [Atari 2600 Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/atari-2600-games/): Now, this is one of the games which would actually appear on many worst Atari 2600 games lists, but I like to think of this as a snapshot in time that must be experienced, for better or worse!
- [Sega SG-1000 Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sega-sg-1000-games/): The SG-1000 takes us back to 1983, the days when pixels were larger than life and controllers were simpler than a TV remote. Released at a time when Sega was yet to become a household name across the world, the SG-1000 represents Sega's first attempt to make moves in the home video game space,
- [Atari Jaguar Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/atari-jaguar-games/): The Atari Jaguar is a console that tried to push the boundaries of gaming in the early '90s, but the only boundaries it really pushed, were those in marketing. Atari launched its Jaguar campaign, promoting the system as a 64-bit console. Whilst partially true, when comparing it in the same way to other current consoles, it was simply a 32-bit system.
- [Game Gear Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sega-game-gear-games/): Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is the final game on my Game Gear games list, not necessarily because it’s the absolute best, but because it cannot be argued it is many people's favourite game for the Game Gear.
- [2 Player Arcade Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/2-player-arcade-games/): Whether it's battling for the highest score or settling old scores, 2 player arcade games have always been a place to let off some steam.
- [Rare And Expensive GameCube Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/rare-and-expensive-gamecube-games/): The GameCube is becoming considered more retro with it now being over 20 years old, as a result, there are now a large amount of rare and expensive GameCube games waiting to be bought and sold on the ever-increasing in price retro gaming market.
- [Mega Drive / Genesis Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/mega-drive-games/): This is a tough one, with literally over 900 titles developed for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis in all regions (and still increasing with homebrew titles!), it is hard to put down the definitive list of Mega Drive games.
- [Sonic The Hedgehog – Sega Mega Drive Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sonic-the-hedgehog-sega-mega-drive-review/): A game that needs no introduction, or perhaps any review at all as it’s been covered so many times already! Sonic the Hedgehog for me, is era-defining. It marked the moment as it did with lots of other people, a move from 8-bit to 16-bit consoles.
- [Hyper Sports – ZX Spectrum Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/hyper-sports-zx-spectrum-review/): Early 80s home computers and hardware were notorious for being a little fragile, especially when you add in things such as RAM packs into the back of them.
- [Action Biker – Commodore 64 Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/action-biker-commodore-64-review/): Food and drink brands appearing in games is not a new concept, from Penguin biscuits in James Pond II Robocod, to Pepsiman in his own appearing in his own game, these brands have made subtle appearances, or indeed have had whole games written around them.
- [Rick Dangerous – Commodore Amiga Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/rick-dangerous-amiga-review/): Before Tomb Raider and off the back of the successful Indiana Jones films, we saw Rick Dangerous released into the wild with his own Indy-inspired, Tomb escaping platformer.
- [3DO Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/3do-games/): Whilst we’re on the subject of 3DO racers, let’s get Road Rash out of the way. Road Rash 3DO is, without a doubt, one of the must have 3DO games.
- [OutRun – Arcade Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/outrun-arcade-review/): OutRun is synonymous with arcade racing games and has to be in the argument for the greatest arcade game of all time - and that’s a big argument!
- [Stunt Car Racer – Commodore Amiga Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/stunt-car-racer-commodore-amiga-review/): Stunt Car Racer is a 3D racing game with a difference. Released by MicroStyle in 1989 for the Commodore Amiga and quickly became one of the best Amiga racing games at the time. Stunt Car Racer sees you hurtling around elevated tracks against a single AI-controlled car in a race to be the first across the finishing line.
- [Bubble Bobble Feat Rainbow Islands – PS1 Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/bubble-bobble-featuring-rainbow-islands-sony-playstation-review/): Released in 1996 when retro was not in vogue beyond some classic arcade games and Atari packages being released, the PlayStation received a special package of both Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands.
- [Mr Do! – Game Boy Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/mr-do-game-boy-review/): Mr Do! Is a port of the arcade classic of 1982 for the Nintendo Game Boy. This is now quite a rare and expensive game to obtain fully boxed with instructions, with only a handful of examples currently on eBay, all at well over £100, so this is certainly one for collectors only if you want a complete version!
- [F1 World Championship Edition – Amiga Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/f1-world-championship-edition-commodore-amiga-review/): F1 World Championship Edition is an arcade-style F1 racer that was released on the Mega Drive, SNES & Amiga.
- [Snail Maze – Sega Master System Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/snail-maze-sega-master-system-review/): Snail Maze is a relatively little-known easter egg game hidden in early versions of the Sega Master System. It has never been available on cartridge or card, it is a hidden game that can be accessed when the Master System’s BIOS screen starts up, simply by holding up and 1+2 together on the controller.
- [Neo Turf Masters – Neo Geo Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/neo-turf-masters-neo-geo-review/): Neo Geo games back in the 90s were something you would either experience in the arcade or at a particularly wealthy friend's house, in fact, I didn't even know anybody with a Neo Geo. So, getting to play some of the excellent Neo Geo libraries was not something I did until well into the 2000s via emulation.
- [Pinball Dreams – Amstrad CPC Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/pinball-dreams-amstrad-cpc-review/): Pinball Dreams as many will know is best known for its original release on the Amiga and kickstarted the successful series of pinball games for Digital Illusions, of which this and Pinball Fantasies are considered all-time classics on the Amiga. But this isn't the Amiga, this is the Amstrad CPC!
- [Mr Nutz: Hoppin’ Mad – Commodore Amiga Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/mr-nutz-hoppin-mad-commodore-amiga-review/): Mr Nutz: Hoppin’ Mad is an Amiga title released in 1994 by Ocean Software. You play as Mr Nutz, a squirrel that seems to be heavily influenced by Sonic the Hedgehog, judging by the trainers, gloves and the ‘attitude’ look he’s got going on!
- [RoboCop – ZX Spectrum Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/robocop-zx-spectrum-review/): RoboCop is one of the ZX Spectrum's most well-remembered and loved titles. Released midway into the Spectrums life and at possibly its peak in 1988 by Ocean Software, RoboCop gave Speccy users everything they could possibly have asked for, and then some.
- [Jet de Go! Let’s go by Airliner – Sony PlayStation (PS1) Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/jet-de-go-sony-playstation-ps1-review/): Here we review a hidden gem for the Sony PlayStation.

- [Enduro Racer – Sega Master System Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/enduro-racer-sega-master-system/): Enduro Racer for the Sega Master System is a very non-typical arcade conversion. This is because it is a completely different game from the arcade original!
- [Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – GBA Review](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-game-boy-advance-review/): Like many long-running game franchises, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games have been somewhat patchy over the years.
- [Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge – ZX Spectrum](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/lotus-esprit-turbo-challenge-spectrum-review/): Who’d have thunk it, at the time at least, Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge arriving on the ZX Spectrum. Surely this felt like one of those games that were just out of reach for the modest Speccy user.
- [Sega Saturn Racing Games](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/sega-saturn-racing-games/): F1 Challenge is an officially licensed Formula 1 game for the Sega Saturn. Like with many Sega Saturn racing games, F1 Challenge is more of a semi-realistic arcade racer than a pure simulation. It limits itself to being able to play as one of five drivers and to race on only three real-life circuits, with a further three fictional tracks.
- [Dyna Blaster – Commodore Amiga Quick Play](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/dyna-blaster-commodore-amiga/): Dyna Blaster or Bomberman as it is known outside of Europe is a top-down maze/battle game developed by Hudson Soft.

- [Jet Set Willy Review – ZX Spectrum](https://www.howtoretro.com/games/jet-set-willy-zx-spectrum/): Jet Set Willy was the first game I ever played. I have lost count of how many times I have read another person from my generation saying the same thing, but it is a lot!
