My Favorite Retro Games
Welcome to my personal arcade! Here are a few classic games that still have a special place in my heart. The graphics, sound, and gameplay of these titles defined an era and continue to bring back great memories.
DOOM 1
DOOM isn't just a game; it's a legendary experience. As the first-person shooter that defined the genre, it puts you in the boots of a space marine fighting demons from Hell. Its fast-paced action, iconic soundtrack, and pixelated gore are a masterclass in '90s gaming and still hold up today.

DOOM 2
DOOM 2: Hell on Earth took everything that made the first game great and cranked it up to eleven. With bigger, more complex levels and even more terrifying demons to fight, it was a brutal, non-stop thrill ride that proved the DOOM formula was a winning one. It's the perfect sequel for fans of pure, unapologetic action.

Contra
The "30 Lives" cheat code is just as famous as the game itself. Contra is a run-and-gun classic known for its intense difficulty and cooperative gameplay. Blasting through swarms of aliens and bosses with your friend by your side, all while dodging a million bullets, is a core memory for any retro gamer.

Street Fighter
Street Fighter revolutionized fighting games with its unique characters, special moves, and competitive depth. This is where legends like Ryu and Ken were born. The thrill of landing a perfect "Hadoken" or "Shoryuken" and hearing that iconic "KO" sound is a feeling that has never been replicated.

Mortal Kombat 3
Mortal Kombat 3 brought the series to a new level with its brutal combo system, new characters, and a faster pace. The game is famous for its over-the-top violence and iconic fatalities, as well as the new "Animalities" and "Mercies." It was a bold and bloody step for the franchise that cemented its place in gaming history.

Sonic the Hedgehog
The speedy blue blur raced onto the scene as a true competitor to Mario. Sonic the Hedgehog introduced a new kind of platforming, all about speed, loops, and a rebellious attitude. The satisfaction of collecting rings and zooming through levels at a blistering pace is what makes this game a blast from the past.

Mario
Mario, the legendary plumber, is the undisputed king of platformers. His games have always set the standard for inventive level design, tight controls, and imaginative power-ups. From stomping on Goombas to rescuing Princess Peach, the adventures of Mario are a joyful, timeless experience for players of all ages.
