Hey all, I’m interested in playing some emulated games on my steamdeck, but I’m not sure where to start.
I’ve been having fun with Super Mario World, but a good chunk of that is because I played it a lot as a kid, so much of my enjoyment is from nostalgia.
Problem is, I didn’t play many too many games when I was a kid…
What older games out there would you say hold up in 2025? So that regardless of the nostalgia factor, they can be enjoyed by someone like me

Batman the Video Game is a sick cut. Sunsoft was doing some good shit.
The soundtrack for it was so good. and yeah it’s by far my favourite NES game.
I don’t know if you played it, but there was a totally different Game Boy Sunsoft Batman game. Also very good, and it has one of the kickinest soundtracks of any GB game I owned!
