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.

    Any of the treasure games of those generations. Bahamast lagoon and mother three are available as fan translations you can't get other than emulation. Takes of phantasia and terranigma as well. Jade cocoon for ps1 has some ghibly outsourced work so that is cool. Kalahari. Stretch panic. Mr mosquito. Gba had some killers people slept on killers though. Bangai-o, clockwork night, metal slug, astro boy
