Jake in the desert<p>Have I done <a href="https://c.im/tags/TenGamesToKnowMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TenGamesToKnowMe</span></a> here yet? I forget. </p><p>If I have, this is an updated version for 2023. Here's mine, in no particular order.</p><p>* Centipede (my favorite game ever. Arcade version! Lemme shoot those bugs!)</p><p>* Black Widow (also the arcade version - I'm totally hooked on this one too, and it was a more recent discovery. When I go to an arcade with retro machines, I basically just want to play this and Centipede the whole time.)</p><p>* Wolfenstein 3D (a classic, still playable. Who doesn't love killing digital Nazis?)</p><p>* Diablo (1, 2, 3, 4, Immortal, any. Just choose one and I love it. What a series. Hooked.)</p><p>* Gun Nac (my favorite technical [ship based] shootemup-- if you don't count Centipede as a shootemup. A rare one for the NES. If you like shooters and get the chance to play this, even emulated, don't miss it.)</p><p>* Wizodd (I love roguelikes and indie games, and this one is both. Just a cool, simple game that's definitely beatable and replayable. But you won't beat it every time!)</p><p>* Mario Kart (another that it doesn't really matter the series, although the Wii one might be my favorite, closely followed by the SNES one. I definitely play the Wii one the most.)</p><p>* Doom (1 or 2, preferably. I feel like those are most classic, and those are the ones that got me hooked. More recent ones I'm not as much about, but those first two.. wow.)</p><p>* Beam Rider (I'm throwing this in because it's an amazing game for the Atari 2600. Maybe one of the best ones. I feel like it gets overlooked with all the other great ones on the system, River Raid, etc.)</p><p>* Beekyr Reloaded (okay, this is a weird one. I was tempted to put Neko Navy or Q-Yo Blaster or another modern indie shootemup that I love in here somewhere instead, but Beekyr is too rad. I love bees and I love shooters, so this one was definitely for me, despite its creator not really being happy with its port.)</p><p>Those are my ten, and I'm sticking with them. (At least for today 😂). There are SO MANY other games I love, but these ten are huge.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Centipede" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Centipede</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BlackWidow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackWidow</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arcade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arcade</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ArcadeGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArcadeGames</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Atari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Atari</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfenstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wolfenstein</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfenstein3D" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wolfenstein3D</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Diablo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diablo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Diablo1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diablo1</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DiabloI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiabloI</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Diablo2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diablo2</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DiabloII" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DiabloII</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GunNac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GunNac</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/shmups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shmups</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/shootemups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shootemups</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/shooters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shooters</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wizodd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wizodd</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MarioKart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarioKart</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wii</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nintendo</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NintendoWii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NintendoWii</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wizodd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wizodd</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/roguelike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roguelike</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/roguelikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>roguelikes</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Doom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Doom</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Beamrider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Beamrider</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Atari2600" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Atari2600</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/BeekyrReloaded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeekyrReloaded</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/bees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bees</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Doom1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Doom1</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Doom2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Doom2</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/fps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fps</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arpg</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/arpgs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>arpgs</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>games</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gaming</span></a></p>
