  • I’m a big fan of gen 2 so I mostly played romhacks based on that. To me the GBC offers a better experience than GBA because of the chiptunes compared to sound samples. Some personal recommendations:

    • Pokémon Polished Crystal: it’s pokémon crystal, but natures and abilities have been added, new movesets making lot of pokémon viable and interesting, and overall it’s an enhanced experience from the original game. I fully recommend it
    • Pokémon Prism: another romhack of crystal, but it’s a complete overhaul of the game where action doesn’t happen on Johto and Kanto, but on completely new regions Naljo and Rijon. It’s an incredible experience, and the soundtrack is top notch (the gym leader music is amazing)












  • Fortunately, in steam, gog and android there is a digital version of Through the Ages, which is 100% faithful to the physical game, has a lot of challenges and online play. That’s mainly how I play, and a 4 player game with AI takes about 20 minutes.

    I sold my physical copy of it. It was a difficult decision, because it’s probably the best card game ever made. But it’s very fiddly, and it takes about 1 hour per player. In the end for strategy games I care about making meaningful decisions, not fiddling with pieces.
