I’m looking for recommendations for games to get for my retroid picket 3. I like platfirmers, metroidvania, turn based games and driving games.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks for all the replies - so many more than I expected! Plenty for me to take a look at. :-)

    Driving:

    Stunt Car Racer (Amiga)

    WipeOut 2097/XL (PSX)

    Both are top-tier racing games.

      In addition to stunt car racer, Brøderbund’s Stunts is great. Also Big Red Racing is fun. Wacky Wheels is a good Mario kart clone. Good old school nascar games are fun if you like circle track driving.

    God Medicine on GameBoy is a massively underrated RPG. Best one on GB imo, and well worth anyone’s time. You’ll be constantly surprised they did so much with a GB game and the theme and story is relatively unique even to this day.

    Colin McRae Rally 1 & 2 for driving games.

    How are you liking the RP3? I don’t own a handheld myself but I’m always tempted to get one.

    My RP3 is how I got completely absorbed into the trails series. Starting with Trails in the Sky and Trails in the Sky Second Chapter on PSP.

    Not sure what they have available, but Advance Wars and Tactics Ogre I both had fun with. I heard good things about the Disgaea games (the fourth one in particular), too, but never played them.

    IDK what games are actually compatible with your device, but I do have opinions about cool older games.

    turn based:
    Civilization
    Master of Magic
    Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn, and Dark Queen of Krynn
    Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong
    Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura

    platformers:
    Noita
    Dead Cells

    driving:
    Gran Turismo 4

    Here’s a mostly forgotten one: Phantom 2040 for SNES

    Not truly a metroidvania, but an interesting platformer shooter with branching paths and many different endings.

    Earthbound on SNES is a timeless one. Advance Wars is an excellent turn-based series. I played it on GBA, but there are a bunch of versions.

    I’ve been going through the old Final Fantasies. I finished FF5 and FF6 last year and recommend both. They have great pacing (They change things up before it gets too stale) and if you keep an online guide handy, it’s not as frustrating as it was when I was 10.

    Cannot recommend Panzer Dragoon Saga enough. One of the best looking Sega Saturn games. Its a JRPG with turn-based battles, a super unique system. Along with the rest of the Panzer Dragoon series (though they are on-rails arcade shooters), not sure the RP3 is powerful enough for original Xbox games.

    For driving, I am sure you’ve already been recommended the usual, but to reiterate: anything from Gran Turismo, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Collin McRae, WipeOut, Need for Speed, and Sega GT are all good picks.

      Highly recommend a good pair of headphones for Panzer Dragoon Saga as well when playing on a handheld. It has an excellent soundtrack.
