Beat em Ups are one of the few genres I actually find more boring than platformers.

When nothing changes from playthrough to playthrough it eventually becomes just a process of of memorization and performance. Of course you could replay the same handful of Sonic 1 levels several hours a day for years and years on end, but when you really look at you see naturally why very few if any do but games like Street Fighter or Nethack have communities that do just that.

>things that make you go hmmmmmm!!

Shmupg tries to be super proud of bei g goid at games you just memorize and pretending like that's the peak of gaming skill. That's why they get made fun of so much.

Maybe try reading what I wrote and thinking even slightly lol. You are so triggered over nothing it's really pretty special.

There really couldn't be one. Games are too personal and your tastes will dictate what's essential far more than anything. I love many, many old games, but then as now many of my favorites don't line up with what's popular. I get why Mario is popular, but all platformers bore me to tears.

I suggest figuring out what genres appeal to you and then look for older games in that vein.

12 is decent but 8 is too few for long term play. I strongly prefer huge KoF rosters though
