Neo Turf Masters. Picked it up recently for the first time and it's the first time everything in a golf game has just intuitively clicked with me in terms of "oh, that's what each club does". Throw in fast pacing and simple controls and I got really hooked in a way I never do with sports games personally.

Tetris. That game has aged extremely well. I played it on the original Gameboy. I last played it on a VR headset.
When I first heard the concept of VR Tetris I though "wow that's dumb" but it's sooooo good. One of the most zen experiences I've ever had. Tetris Effect freaking nailed it.
Looooove Tetris Effect. I’ve never tried VR but I’m real curious about it.
Symphony of the Night. I played it for the first time a few years ago, and it holds up really well next to modern metroidvanias, better than Super Metroid IMO.
Agreed. Absolutely gorgeous sprite work too. I'm so glad gaming has moved past the era where anything 2D was automatically considered inferior, because ironically many 3D games from that time aged far worse than SotN.
I never get tired of playing Kaamari Damacy. I do not know why. It's just utterly bonkers fun.
Capcom vs. SNK 2. It's good to the last drop, no matter when and where you play it. Bloody Roar: Primal Fury/Extreme also holds up far better than Sega's Fighting Vipers series.
I almost always have a new run of Knights of the Old Republic I or II going. It's almost 20 years old and the replayability still amazes me.
Talking on the nes era, original super Mario bros series still holds up.
