Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

Shadow of Rome on the ps2. Still hope for some kind of remake by capcom

Jade Cocoon - Story of the Tamamayu

My first jrpg ever on the ps1, monster tamer and merger, with magic spells and elements, various npcs and a really intriguing story and landscapes. I absolutely fell in love with this game and I am still waiting on a spiritual or direct successor like Digimon World got one.

Seven Kingdoms 2, old PC strategy game... Sadly doesn't run on linux with proton/wine...

May be a little off from what you're asking but one of my favorite games period is Bookworm on the GBA. It was originally a flash game but when it came to GBA you could save your progress. The music was so cute and the sound effects were just awesome. They tried to bring it to the DS without that music and the effects and it just didn't work. Other iterations exist as well, none as cool and enjoyable as the GBA version. I'm stuck emulating until someone rediscovers this neat little game and brings it to switch or steamdeck.

Matchbox emergency patrol. Top tier classic game. The intro hots me with so much nostalgia

Is anyone familiar with American Conquest? That game was excellent! The soundtrack is still stuck in my head.

Bought it recently on GOG for something like 1 dollar. Still haven't installed to play, or any of the Cossacks games it's based off.

The Banner Saga, beautiful hand drawn rotoscoped visuals and animation, great characters, strong story and lore. Gameplay is turn based strategy, and it’s very addicting. Absolutely fantastic music. Never hear anyone talking about it.

N64 "Beetle Adventure Racing" is crazy fun! Race against the clock to improve your time, race the computer, race another player, and best of all are the wild Arena battles - up to 4 players. This was always big fun at family gatherings.

Wii "Godzilla Unleashed" is my favorite solo game. I'd run the sound through my home theater and crank up all the lovely authentic Toho kaiju roars, screeches, howls, and destruction. Controls varied slightly by monster but always felt intuitive. Battling other beasts could get a little glitchy in tight quarters but knock a few buildings out of the way and all's well. Greatest cathartic stress reliever, ever!
