What games have you replayed in adulthood that still held up? (hexbear.net)

I just bought a handheld emulator (Anbernic RG35XX) and I’m now overwhelmed with options.

I’m also expecting to be destroyed by the games some of you were playing as children, but whatever. Anything PS1 and older is appreciated.

These are made for X86, so I'm not sure they technically count as "old games", but I've had a blast with recompiled+ported versions of TLoZ:OoT and Perfect Dark.
Ship Of Harkinian in particular adds so many features and improvements, that I'm not sure I would enjoy the original OoT played on an actual N64.

They may still hold up when emulated, though...

I tried playing Perfect Dark on N64 again during the pandemic. Single player was great, multiplayer runs at like 12 fps and I have no idea how I ever played it as a kid.

The real camera controls in Ship of Harkinian are a game changer. It suddenly feels like a modern game.

I'm going to be honest, that's the one improvement I've never used - the original pseudo tank controls are fine to me, at least on a X360 controller

Interesting, the camera is almost always the weakest link in early 3D games for me.

Eh, maybe I've watched too much of that one literally blind playthrough, but the 3rd-person camera feels comfortable enough to me.

The 1st-person camera though...
