Now you've got me longing for my old Atari back. My top 3 games by a country mile were:
Supercars 2 - must have played it through a thousand times.
Ellie Frontier - sank many hours in to it despite never being very good at combat.
Sensible soccer - one of the most fun games I've ever played. Would often play with my step dad. Some epic matches.
These days you can emulate old consoles almost perfectly, with a lot of quality of life improvements. The whole memory can be written and retrieved in milliseconds so you can save everywhere and anywhere.

A raspberry pi 4 can emulate any console up to the N64. I'm still running a pi 3. The 3 can't do the N64 well. I'm unsure how good the pi 4 is with the graphics of the N64.
I can run basically any game published before 1995. It's just a matter of finding roms. They used to be easy to get, but Nintendo got angry with websites that were hosting them. So now you have to dig a little more to get them.
