I just bought a handheld emulator (Anbernic RG35XX) and Iโ€™m now overwhelmed with options.

Iโ€™m also expecting to be destroyed by the games some of you were playing as children, but whatever. Anything PS1 and older is appreciated.

Not a childhood game, but the Japan-only SNES strategy RPG Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is a great handheld emulator game! There's English patches for it.

Some random games from the mid 90s and earlier that I enjoyed when I was younger:

PS1: Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy 9, Lego Racing

SNES: Final Fantasy 4, Super Mario World

GBA (not of this era, but they'll probably run on your Anbernic): Fire Emblem (any of the GBA games, but Blazing Blade aka just Fire Emblem is a great starting point), Metroid Fusion

GBC: Link's Awakening DX

Edit: GB: Donkey Kong 94
