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:

  • Dangerous Dave (1990 version)
  • Prince of Persia 1 & 2
  • Crystal Caves
  • Bio Menace
  • Commander Keen series (keen 4 being the best)
  • Jazz Jackrabbit series
  • Jill of the Jungle
  • Aladdin

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".

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