Kind’ve an odd suggestion, but if you like more arcade-y type games, and think you’d an enjoy a more advanced sorta spiritual successor to dig-dug, I’d recommend checking out Mr.Do! On the SNES. Weirdly good.

Sunset Riders is a fun and short western arcade shooter, as is Wild Guns.

There’s also a pretty neat Shadowrun RPG on the SNES.

I decided to throw Mega man Legends 2 on my miyoo mini, as I had fond memories of renting the first game as a kid, and never tried the sequel.

It’s an odd spinoff of the Megaman series that turns it into a 3rd person dungeon delving shooter, complete with story and fully voice acted 90’s anime style in-game cutscenes!

Thoughts on the sequel:

It has some improvements over the original, such as the ability to fly around the main ship on a world map! I liked the globe trotting aspect (the OG takes place in one city), and the art style and controls were pretty good.

It held my attention for about 4 or 5 hours, until I came across an underwater level, where things went downhill.

Even equipped with a missable underwater specific speed upgrade ability, movement speed underwater was cut to about a third of normal speed, and this was combined with large open spaces and the need to throw around some finicky boxes to reach high ledges sometimes were dead ends.

I just don’t have the tolerance for that sort of thing like I used to, so I deleted it and finished it by watching the cut scenes on YouTube! The ending is pretty cringe, so I’m glad I bailed, honestly.
