With me buying up some old GBA games lately and famicom too it has got me thinking of some old franchises and what used to be really fun and still can be despite the age.
I'm finding I really still dig a lot of the old stuff I used to when I allow myself to really sit down and jam into the stuff. I keep having these wow I forgot that or wow I remember that type moments whether it's my two year old wanting to button mash an 8bit mario game or firing up one of those gradius releases, or even obscure offshoots like Sabrewulf for the GBA which I believe was an old UK computer title from Rare originally.
I know it's easy to throw Mario, Sonic, Bonk, Mega Man, Castlevania and so on out there, and they are legit answers, but does anyone here have some personal favorite franchises that maybe dead now, maybe still alive but just overlooked. I'm trying to find some old stuff to dust off from the old era, even if it's like the PC with gems like Wing Commander, Duke Nukem, and so on.
