Still, there is still some nostalgia for the simpler days of the arcade era. Here we present the best Retro Games. Before you get acquainted with the most popular retro games of all time, check out casino online and have fun!

 

1. Super Mario Bros. 3

 

NES, 1993 (Super Mario All-Stars)

 

Nintendo has invented platform games and reinvented them with Super Mario Bros. 3 and once again with Super Mario World. Super Mario Bros. 3 is really close to perfection. It features among others Yoshi and the frog suit and the Super Mario world was invented!

 

2. Legend of Zelda: A link to the past

 

SNES, 1992

 

If Super Metroid taught you to fear the unknown, Link’s epic quest made it exciting again. Hyrule is full of secrets and surprises, it is really nice to explore. Unlike today, if you move too far, you are informed that you cannot get any further, here you are encouraged to get lost as much as you want and seek adventures.

 

3. Street Fighter II Turbo

 

Arcade, 1992

 

In this game you will see smoky arcades. The arcades have plenty of old cabinets full of cigarette burn marks and the floors are always sticky with cheap, stale liquor. Here you will learn how to make the perfect dragon punch. With Blanka's electric attack, you can defeat even the biggest guy. You unlock Akuma’s character, and you lose half of your life bar instantly after a few seconds.

 

4. Tetris

 

Nintendo Gameboy, 1989

 

It is weird to think that a game that focuses on finding the best way to arrange a set of colored blocks was at its best when played on a machine that can’t display more than four shades of greenish grey but this is definitely a classic and there is probably not a single person who has not played this game.

 

5. Super Mario Kart

 

SNES, 1992

 

While everyone has a favorite Mario Kart game, most agree that Super Mario Kart is the best of all Mario-Kart games. It is still an incredibly good game, even though it’s been decades since the game was created. In this game, every win is earned with a lot of effort and in many games today this is not the case.

 

6. Sonic the Hedgehog 2

 

Sega Mega Drive, 1992

 

This spiky merchant proved to be a worthy rival of Nintendo’s Mario on the Mega Drive debut. But the gorgeous loops, corkscrews, and smart environmental tricks made it one of the best games of all times. This adventure was one of the finest two-player games in the 16-bit era and is still better compared to many modern Sonic games.

 

7. Outrun

 

Arcade, 1986

 

Top class car, beautiful woman, blue sky, and big road visible on the horizon. It is not so much a racing game as an amazing road trip in the United States.

 

8. Donkey Kong

 

Arcade, 1981

The game that began the career of a particular plumber, Nintendo’s 1981 arcade hit, was phenomenal. Was not very popular in the U.S. and President Hiroshi Yamauchi persuaded young designer Shigeru Miyamoto to create a new game, Jumpman (the name was later changed to Mario).

 

9. Streets of Rage

 

Sega Mega Drive, 1992

Two players and too many sparkling drinks, the only way to play Sega’s game was with a partner. Playing this game was definitely fun at all stages.

 

10. Super Metroid

 

SNES, 1994

 

There are not many games out there that bring out the gloomy sense of isolation as expertly presented as this SNES classic. When bounty hunter Samas Aran falls into a deserted world, a tribute to the Alien, it is evoking the same excitement as Ridley Scott’s cinematic horror. The soundtrack gave even more goosebumps.

 

11. Paperboy

 

Arcade, 1985

The great gift of gaming is that it allows us to engage in a behavior that society disapproves of. Doing a job well gets high scores but throwing papers everywhere and making a chaos can be very cathartic.

 

12. Duck hunting

 

NES, 1984

 

The predecessor of the modern first-person shooters Duck Hunting didn’t let you blow up zombies, mutants, or even mutant zombies. However, the reduction in the waterfowl population was equally satisfactory.

 

13. Space invaders

 

Arcade, 1978

 

Forget Gears of War, Taito’s 1978 classic was the first shooting game to fight aliens. Your heart rate accelerates with the music as the aliens get closer. Blowing up a flying saucer is as satisfying as the Call of Duty headshots.

 

14. Miss Pac-Man

 

Arcade, 1982

 

Ms. Pac-Man is like the Arcade's original game with even more fun added.

 

There are new maps and the game is much more difficult.

 

15. Gauntlet

 

Arcade, 1985

 

With this Atari masterpiece, four players gathered around a cabinet to play through all of the maze levels.

 

16. Pong

 

Arcade, 1972

 

The Atari version of table tennis became an immensely popular game. Two digits, two rackets, one ball: it still works.

 

17. Sensible Soccer

 

Amiga and MS-DOS, 1992

 

A certain generation of football competition was not between Fifa and Pro Evo. It was Kick Off versus Sensible Soccer. Sensible Soccer is definitely the winner of those two.

 

18. Day of The Tentacle

 

MS-DOS, 1993

 

No retro list would be complete without the classic point-and-click adventure, and nothing could be finer than the barmpot sci-fi of Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman. The Time Travel plot ticket takes you to 50s monster movies and Chuck Jones cartoons. Incredibly silly game and really, really fun.

 

19. Manic Miner

 

ZX Spectrum, 1985

 

If you think modern games are too easy, you need to try this Spectrum hit. All 20 screens have unpredictable dangers. If it was released now, it would probably only have an easy mode and dubstep music as a soundtrack.

 

20. Chuckie Egg

 

ZX Spectrum, 1983

 

Played faster than Donkey Kong, Chuckie Egg insisted on perfect pixel jumps. That game was intense and satisfying and still is.
