Dynamite Deka 2(Die Hard Arcade 2). I played the first one a lot on the Sega Saturn and arcade. It’s a really silly inventive beat em up game with timed events. It’s great playing the game with a friend. I know the sequel would be even crazier from the pictures and video I’ve seen.
I’d play Super Mario Bros. 3
The goat!
I would play Mega Man X2!
First game I would play is the most difficult puzzle game of all time, “the 240p test suite” it’s an amazing rewarding but frustrating game where the goal is to get perfect geometry on your CRT – sounds simple but the reality is you can never truly win 😂😅 the later levels involve taking the back of the TV off and if you touch the wrong part of the Tube it results in perma-death.

First game I’d play would be N64 Resident Evil 2, a very complicated game to be emulated by software, but easily playable on Mister. Why this port ? Because this is the only one with randomizer and non – tank controllers, creating the most unique RE2 experience
Arcade Missile Command !!
Strider 2 on PSX.
Streets of Rage 2, try to get the misses to join on some Tekken 3, then show off some of the old Daytona or Ridge Racer skills see if i can impress her to no success, then some Jumping Flash to get her to not leave the room, maybe a little Bloody Roar before she completely gives up on the old school stuff… then, i can really get into it and maybe try to get that Paprium to work and finally see what everyone’s been going on about, aik, is its going to be a long night.
