This sure was a demo for the Steam Deck's hardware. Not the most familiar with Portal's lore but I still thought it was fine and had some nice suprises and charm for what is a hardware tech demo.
Really wasn't the first game I tried though so all this did was teach me I had to hold the analog stick for gyro aiming and how to take screenshots.

Its Street Fighter II, but now with understandably downgraded visuals, but nice conversions of the music/sound effects to the Mega Drive. Not a bad port at all.
1997
Hang on I'll write the review in a sec, just checking my watch...
A glimpse into a dark timeline where FighterZ was developed by Netherrealm Studios
A completely medicore platformer that visually reminds me a lot of Fantasy Zone, released in arcades earlier the same year, but as a side-scrolling platformer released after Super Mario Bros. it falls completely short.
The movement feels overly floaty, the level design feels unmemorable and uninteresting to navigate, the music feels like it endlessly repeats itself and I found it really irritating, and the boss fights being complete random chance with their rock, paper, scissors gimmick feels repetitive and would be 10 times more annoying if not for save states on emulators.
I'd say skip this one, but if your really interested in SEGA's history before Sonic: sure, go for it but I dont think anyone would blame you for for stopping after a couple levels.

Probably one of the most important games I played in my later childhood, but find it incredibly difficult to get back into now with all the new additions and lack of motivation to do much in it personally. But I have incredibly fond memories of Minecraft through the years, and its something that I'll always attempt to play again every once in a while.
1998
Played this because it came with the N64 I just ordered and I don't have anything else to play on it yet. Its not that great.
I'm probably very biased because the most snowboarding knowledge I have is all from SSX 3 but as far as I know this game is pretty realistic for 1998, and would have been a fun time for snowboarding fans at the time...but for someone who just wanted a fun game and not an aged snowboarding sim I'd say look for other games (like SSX 3, that games cool as hell)

2001
Its no Tekken, but still a fun fighting game thats also a really impressive graphical showcase as an original Xbox launch title.
Also theres boobs, and they sure do have physics of some kind.

1984
As far as NES games go, this one doesn't even feel like it was even that great at the time it released. Nintendo seems to think its the best game on the system though by how much it gets rereleased.
1982
I was 100 percent the only person in my theatre to recognise the Green Goblin from this game was in Across The Spider-Verse, and I am 100 percent NOT the only person to recognise that this game kinda sucks.
A fine addition to the series, in essence its just more Arkham City but not as polished. The part where your jumping around parts of a falling bridge is the standout but overall this is just perfectly fine as "more arkham" and not much else.
1987
Spy Hunter for narcs
1990
Atleast the title doesn't lie, this game is the pits and theres a couple fighters.
2006
Its Bomberman. Really plain and simple portable Bomberman, easy to pull out and play at a moments notice but not really anything special.
Fun bizarro version of Sonic 2 with elements of 3&K and the then new Modern designs of the cast. Honestly not really any reason to play this outside of it being an interesting novelty in the series' history - but its not bad, just not too interesting overall.
