Retro platform games

Younger gamers who came to the DK gang on Smash Bros Ultimate should definitely check out this seminal title…. Gran Turismo takes the 18th spot in this list of the best retro games of all time! The PS1 had some fantastic racing titles in its time, but perhaps none as influential as Gran Turismo. It spawned an epic series that still has a loyal following today and provided a formula that would eventually be copied by pretty much every developer on every console. With a collection of epic cars and a selection of tracks that felt super-realistic back in the day, the first GT games could well be thought of as the grandaddy of all driving games.

Nothing felt better than getting behind the wheel of branded cars and racing against your mates…. For the driving fans, the arcade mode provides quick thrills and a place to blow off steam while burning rubber.

Still, the best bit about Gran Turismo is the Simulation Mode. If you like games where progression is a key element, than becoming a professional racer in GT will be right up your street. Start off with an old used car, race to earn money, and upgrade your vehicles. Gran Turismo is a winner every day of the week. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim takes the 17th spot in this list of the best retro games of all time. This open world adventure is one of the most finely crafted titles on the PS3.

Explore ruined cities and vast mountain ranges with sword in hand, slaying dragons and casting spells in one of the greatest fantasy tales ever to grace a console. These graphics are fantastic and look as though they should belong to a next-gen console. Who is the mystery star of this epic tale, I hear you ask?

Well, gamers play as Dragonborn, one of the best named characters just beating Keith Courage…. Also, all of the NPC speech is automatically generated as there are just too many possible scenarios to account for. This game has seen more reboots and remakes than many of the other titles in our compendium, and for one very good reason….

Gamers take their places in Gaia, but not the titaness who became Mother Earth in Greek mythology. This is a fantasy realm wrapped in a terrible war and features bandits, princesses, and an assassination that might bring an age of peace. It should also go without saying that IX is the best ranked FF game in the history of the series. Keep a hold of your apples; Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane trilogy takes the 15th spot in this list of the best retro games of all time.

Ok, so I know this is a PS4 case, but hear me out. This trilogy takes the original Crash Bandicoot games and turns them up to The N. Does Space Invaders really need an introduction? Aliens move down a screen towards a little green gun turret. Players move said turret and try to shoot down the invaders from space… you get the picture. Space Invaders is one of those games that anyone can play and that never gets old.
