Recently purchased a Retroid Pocket 3+ and have the chance to play all the games I didn’t grow up with. Which ones are a must?

Chrono Trigger is a classic that makes it into a lot of "top 10 video games of all time" lists, and for good reason. I personally prefer the original SNES version.

This may be too obvious, but Super Mario 3 for NES is an absolutely amazing game that everyone should play. It's my personal favorite Mario game, which is a pretty high bar.

On PC, Star Control 2 (now downloadable for free as the Ur-Quan Masters) is a really amazing and somewhat less known game. I wouldn't bother with any of the sequels, which weren't developed by the same people. The original devs are currently working on a true sequel.
