It doesn't have to be a lewd game. One of my all-time favorite is Megaman X. I have a huge list that I go to when the mood strikes me.

Megaman X
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy X
Castlevania SotN
Legend of Zelda(any of them)

 

[Lonniel]

Pokemon emerald or Chrono Trigger cant decide.

The OG pokemon games (Red/Blue/Yellow)

The OG Super Mario Bros and Legend of Zelda have a special place in my heart. Some of my oldest memories are of playing them with my mother and father when I was a small child, and they fill me with such strong nostalgia. No other games do that for me, at least not nearly as strongly.

 

[master cruss]

Super Metroid, SoTN, Robotron 2084

 

[DadD]

Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Vagrant Story, Brave Fancer Musashiden, Legend of Mana, Final Fantasy 9... It's a lot of them, mostly they from Mega Drive 2 and PSone era.

The first generation of Pokemon on the Game Boy and for console games GTA SA, which I could only ever play with my friends because I wasn't allowed to have a Playstation or XBox.

the frist time i played chrono trigger on snes in my brother in law house was amazing after that i became a Fantasy RPG fan

 

[irpotato556]

Easy toss up between Perfect Dark, One of the many Bond games, Metroid, Age of Empires, and I agree with the og Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow

 

[Belledae22]

super mario and command and conquer

 

[thatoneuser]

Well a lot but I'll list some:
Command and Conquer (Tiberian dawn and RA2 mainly)
Dungeon Keeper (first one)
Diablo (mainly the 2nd one)
Super Mario World (I mean it's fucking Mario, any old Mario game is good, but this is my favourite)
Legend of Zelda OOT/MM
Stronghold (mainly the 1st one, although Crusader is also great)
Warcraft 3
Goldeneye
Unreal Tournament (2004 although the first one is a close 2nd)
Pokemon Gold/Silver (1st and 3rd gen also good tbh but 2nd was always my favourite game)
Killer Instinct
Snes version of SimCity (good vibes)
Rayman 1 (also good vibes, amazing visuals and sounds/music)

Not everything might be deemed "retro" but that really depends on who you're asking. Some think retro ends at the early 3d era, others might say the line moves and is now somewhere around ps1/ps2/xbox/gamecube era. Diablo 2 definitely ate most of my time in terms of videogames and still does now and then. It's that WoW exists otherwise I would've had an even more embarrassing playtime. Dungeon Keeper is one I will always name when it comes to favourite games, the first game is an absolute gem - I never played anything that was like it, tons are close or similiar but not quite there.
