Your favorite old school games!

So recently I'm kinda broke so I've been playing emulater games for Super nintendo, GBA, etc...

Some of my favorite classics are-
-Jet force Gemini (N64)
-Zelda:Link to the past (SNES/GBA), And Of course ocarina of time and majoras mask (N64) are amazing.
-Donkey Kong Country (SNES/GBA)
-Mario 64 (N64)
-Diablo 2/Lord of Destruction (PC)
-Devil may cry (PS2)
