I'm gifting my friend's child a handheld emulator and loading it up with games. It's capable of playing things pretty much up to Nintendo GameCube (It's even running Twilight Princess, though it studders in some areas).

I've got pretty much everything that exists for NES, SNES, N64, as well as a couple dozen games for Genesis. I never had a Sega Saturn or a PS / PS2 growing up though and I'm wondering what I should grab for those, as well as some more obscure GameCube titles if there are any I should know about.

Here's your chance to wax nostalgic about some old games and help ensure they make it into a kid's present. Even if I have the game already, I can still throw suggestions into the "favorites" list and make them easier to find.

    didn't see em:

    snes - ogre battle
    n64 - ogre battle 64
    ps1 - final fantasy tactics

    could give em the various ogre tactics games too but maybe do that later, fft is way better

      I used to play Ogre Battle 64 and FF7 with my childhood best friend every time I went to his house. Fun times lol

      All three of these games still make me feel excited when I think back on them. Absolutely phenomenal.
