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. :-)

As an MSDOS and platformer fan:

My favorite from the above would be Bio Menace, followed by Dangerous Dave, Prince of Persia 1 and Jazz Jackrabbit.

Most of these games should be available on GOG, if not, search for "eXoDOS".

Haha I completely forgot about Jazz Jackrabbit!

I hope you didn't forget that banger of a soundtrack!

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Back when game music was good!

Crystal Caves is such an iconic DOS era game. I boot it up occasionally just to enjoy the design and sound effects.

Bio Menace is good, but hard. Common in that era!
