Zero Mission may not be commonly lauded as the greatest entry in the Metroid series, but what it does is refine the formula into what I believe to be the greatest display of the pure essence of the franchise. It modernizes the first game, adding so much in what should be considered the template of a perfect remake. New enemies, QOL improvements, additional lore, new and returning upgrades, flawless controls, and the freedom to go about how you want to play thanks to the variety of sequence breaks, which reward the application of game knowledge. I've sunk so much time into this game that there's a section of my brain practically dedicated to it, and I can't say that for a lot of things in my life.
one of the greatest games from my childhood I use to play it for hours the gameplay was fluid the boss fights were amazing the music was awesome too I became a Metroid fan thanks to this game!!

Parodius
ParodiusShoot'em ups don't come any weirder than Parodius - dodge through waves of killer penguins, neon rabbits and 50ft tall dancing girls. An intense experience of one or two players. This compilation collects the first two arcade incarnations of Konami's shoot'em'up parody series on one disc: Fantastic Journey (Gokujou Parodius) and Parodius (Parodius Da!). Unlike the ports seen on the SNES these are much more accurate to the original arcade version.

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
