The best games are those that never go out of style. The classics, like Pac Man and Super Mario, will always have a place in our hearts.
These games were the foundation for many of today’s popular video games and while they may not be as flashy or even as complex, they still provide hours of entertainment for people all over the world.
In this retro gaming blog we’ll explore some of the most famous retro-style games to ever grace your screen!
Pac Man
This is one classic that needs no introduction. You control an animated yellow ball who takes on various shapes (making it harder for enemies to track) throughout his travels through a maze filled with ghosts who you can chase or eat.
Super Mario Bros
This was one of the first games to have an actual storyline and a connected series, which is now seen in many modern titles today. You can play as Mario who starts by saving Princess Toadstool from Bowser’s clutches before going on various adventures through Mushroom Kingdom with his brother Luigi.
Lemmings
These adorable creatures are faced with obstacles that you need to help them overcome in order for them all to escape at the end!
They move together until they reach something like a cliff edge where they will then start climbing down individually, leaving some behind if there’s not enough space below for everyone else to continue moving across it too. The levels get harder and more complicated as you progress, but always end with the goal of saving all lemmings.
Super Mario Galaxy
This is a game that’s been played by millions across the world and has made its way to almost every major gaming system available at some point or another!
You play as Mario who must travel around different planets in order to save Princess Peach from Bowser once again. Along the way you’ll use your various skills to escape tricky situations and find out why certain things are happening on each planet.
Sonic The Hedgehog
If you had an old Sega Genesis then chances are good that this was one of your favorite games back when it came out! In this title you control Sonic who runs through multiple levels trying to collect gold rings (which increase your score) and various items that are located throughout the level.
Minecraft
This game is one of the most popular games in recent years! You control a character who starts by waking up in an open field on his or her birthday with nothing else around them but some blocks, trees, water and dirt.
Your goal is to escape from this strange world by mining (gathering materials), crafting new things as well as building shelter for protection against monsters who come out at night. Throughout playing you’ll find more resources which will allow you to create better tools and even bigger buildings too!
The Legend Of Zelda
In this modern classic you play Link who must save Princess Zelda from Ganondorf after he steals her away while she’s asleep in her castle. Along the way you’ll find many items to help you defeat your enemies and solve puzzles, all while making choices that will impact the storyline!
Final Fantasy
This is a JRPG (Japanese Role Playing Game) where everything takes place on a giant world map which has towns and dungeons scattered around it. You start as four separate characters who are from different parts of their society with their own skill sets before they eventually come together for one final goal saving Princess Zelda from Ganondorf’s clutches once again.
