I’ve been enjoying emulating games recently - mostly NES, ps1 and gba - and I’m looking to branch out from my limited familiarity as I mostly play games I’ve played in the past (and then it was mostly rentals- so very limited exposure lol).
What games would you recommend checking out? Basically across any ps1-equivalent generation system or earlier. I’m interested in the FF series but have no idea where to start either 🤷♂️
My rotation atm:
PS1: Medal of Honor, ssx,
GBA: Pokémon firered, wario
NES: castlevania, ninja gaiden
This year has been about Fire Emblem for me. Played through a romhack or two from the GBA era and played through Radiant Dawn, the Wii entry, with a randomizer that was really fun.
Edit: Should mention the Romhack that I was most impressed by was The Morrow’s Golden Country.
What are some good FE rom hacks?

Might be unironically the best written FE romhack of all time
I’ll check it out. Just finished soloing 8 with Seth
Ack, I typed out a reply on my phone, then never sent it and lost it lol. These are all available on FEUniverse, which I saw SmithrunHills link.
Anyways, for me The Morrow’s Golden Country is peak. I’ve beat it once and I’m another sitting away from beating it again.
I remember playing some of Vision Quest years ago and liking it, but I never got far. It’s an older project than TMGC, but rightfully a community pillar.
I got someways into Cerulean Crescent and liked what I was seeing, but also stalled out.
Embrace of the Fog was a neat little thing in that it was a roguelike/lite (I don’t remember the difference), but the start was a little too underpowered with slow progression so I haven’t returned.
I will probably return to all of these at some time, I did appreciate them.
