      Good picks but I’d take the PC version of San Andreas for the mods. Mario 64 also runs on PC nowadays much smoother than the original version thanks to decompilation

    SNES - Act Raiser - It’s quite literally a mix of RTS and 2d action platforming. You build and manage your villiage while protecting it from monsters. Highly recommend!

    N64 - Kirby 64 - Kirby is a game series that lets you eat enemies and gain their power. This one lets you combine powers! You can make fun combos, like rock + fire to make yourself a volcano, or electricity + bombs to make yourself into fireworks. Really fun and easygoing game! Worth playing through at least once.

    PS2 - Parappa the Rapper 2 - A fun and weird game, Parappa 2 is a rhythm game where you have to repeat the raps your opponent dishes out using the face and L&R buttons. The setting and story make this game more than worth it, as you’ll be saving the town against shrink rays, a mad hairstylist, and a noodle-hungry maniac. It’s another fairly short game, you can beat it in two sittings if you’re good. There’s also a fun vs multiplayer mode.

    For Ps2 you easily need to try out the Holy Trinity of platformers

    Ratchet & Clank 1-4

    Jak and Daxter 1-X

    Sly Cooper 1-3

    All great for different reasons and surprisingly good stories for platformers with Sly being the deepest.

    This is a bit of an outlier because it’s actually on PS3, but it’s a lightweight game so emulation isn’t too taxing. I went back and played Tokyo Jungle. Such a wild game and with nothing I’ve found that compares to this day. You play as animals in a Tokyo that has been reclaimed by nature, you hunt for food, grow stronger and find mates, and try to survive against predators. I love it
