Retro Reviews
Honest verdicts on the games that built the medium.
[ PlayStation original release · 1998 · 9 / 10 ]
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 2 is still one of the essential PS1 horror games to revisit in 2026: tense, atmospheric, cleverly structured, and far easier to get lost in than many newer imitators.
[ Nintendo 64 original release · 1997 · 9 / 10 ]
Star Fox 64
Star Fox 64 is still one of the sharpest N64 action games to revisit in 2026: short, quotable, endlessly replayable, and polished enough to make many later shooters feel overstuffed.
[ Nintendo 64 original release · 1996 · 9 / 10 ]
Wave Race 64
Wave Race 64 is still one of the best N64 racers to revisit in 2026: fast, readable, and powered by water physics that still feel strangely magical.
[ Arcade / Sega Saturn original release · 1995 · 9 / 10 ]
Sega Rally Championship
Sega Rally Championship is still one of the sharpest retro racing recommendations in 2026: compact, tactile, and thrilling enough to prove that great car feel never really dates.
