The one thing Qix truly needed was prisoners of war. This is a childhood fav I return to every so often - a simple premise done stylishly! If you don't find slicing airships apart with a large pair of scissors cathartic I don't even want to know you.
The Eternal Castle: Remastered
Honestly I just think it looks and sounds really cool. Respecting the fucking nerve to be rendered in such a grotty resolution and also to have the worst font ever concocted.
Gamera 2000
holy fuck
Marvelous: Mouhitotsu no Takarajima
It truly is Marvelous. Instantly my new favourite Zelda game. Forgoes dungeons & combat, and instead focuses on exploration, puzzles and Warioware adjacent minigames. Manages to be wholly unrepetitive through a focus on introducing new scenarios and rewarding experimentation. Boggles the absolute fucking mind that this wasn't localised officially, immoral of Nintendo to keep such a secret. Grab the fan translation!
Progear
the shmup that hit my aesthetic sensibilities just right. kind of ideal.
Magic Wand
Every single line of dialogue in this game fills me with pure unbridled joy. There isn't a miss.
It's Winter
Reach out and touch your computer monitor. It's warm, like flesh. But it is not flesh. Not yet.
Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
With three precise taps of the X button, Everybody's Golf: World Invitational swings the nine-iron in one meticulously executed master stroke, launching the entire golf genre through the firmament. "Nice shot!" exclaims the caddy.
Simply think this is magical, not even just my favourite golf game - it's my primo Sports Game. To the gills with charm, personality in its playable cast and attention to detail in its realisation of the myriad courses on offer.
ACA Neo Geo: Neo Turf Master
The word "scoundrel" clings to you like a dying lover. Slave to a thousand metas - power, to you, is not a means but an end. People talk about you behind your back, but what is the gossip of worms to an Eagle?
