I do enjoy using Emulation Station’s screensaver feature as a kind of retro game roulette wheel for larger rom sets though. Makes it incredibly easy to just press A when you see a game that looks interesting and gets rid of decision paralysis.

Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions, Spyro (PS1)

Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, Simpsons Hit and Run, God of War (PS2)

Streets of Rage 3, Comix Zone, Aladdin (Genesis/Megadrive)

Mario Tennis, Shantae, Wendy Every Witch Way (GBC)

Super Mario Galaxy, LEGO Indiana Jones (Wii)

Super Punchout, Wild Gubs, Super Mario World 2, Wolfenstein 3D (SNES)

Contra, Double Dragon 2, Super Mario Bros 3, Snow Brothers, River City Ransom (NES)

If you decide to do emulation and have never attempted it before, start small. People get discouraged when they can’t get PS2/3 or Wii U games going when they’d also be pretty content playing an SNES Mario, GBA Pokémon or a Genesis game.

Someone suggested 10k bitrate and that’s worked well for me and my internet.
