«Fun single-screen platformer with tight controls, cool graphics & sound design. Totally nails the old-school arcade feel. Great to have some instant quick fun.»

«Great Twin Stick Shooter from Llamasoft. Also includes the old Vic-20 & Commodore 64 versions which play more like Centipede.»

«Sweet little cute 'em up with 2 difficulties and 2 characters (who kind of act like 2 different difficulties themselves). The checkpoint system is pretty forgiving. Works perfectly on the Deck.»

«Great gameplay, great OST & great graphics for a great Shoot'em up. Too bad the superior exa-arcadia version will stay stuck in the arcades.»

«Pretty simple but fun old school Shoot'Em Up with only 2 different shot types & not a lof of enemy variety. Still a good fun game if you're into that kind of Shmups.»

«Very good little puzzle-game. Works perfectly on the Deck unlike my older computer where I had slowdowns and stutters for whatever reason.»

«Great horizontal shoot 'em up that used to be locked at 40 fps on the Deck for some reason. Now runs at 60 FPS as it should.»

«Great Puzzle-Game with a lot of variety.»

«2 very fun games for a cheap price (especially if you look at the price at the wonderswan original). Feels like prototypes for Eschatos. Supports Tate.»

«Great shoot them up with a lock-on system and a bullet cancelling dash attack. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«Fun little collection of minigames if you miss Track and Field and other sports games of this kind. Works perfectly on the Deck.»

«Cool little Q*bert inspired game that's pretty easy to 1CC. Kind of weird that you don't get bonus points for remaining HP+timer. Would have been cool to have some harder difficulty settings.»

«It's even jankier than the original but I found it fun. It's also much easier to 1CC because of all the extra-lives you get. The addition of 4 players coop is cool. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«Simple 2-button fighting game that's pretty competent at what it does. Pretty fun, very cheap and it's still getting updates. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«I have fond memories of this one on the SNES. Better switch to the japanese version and set the game speed to 1.3x at least for the best experience. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«Fun and cheap game that kind of plays like Mr. Driller with bombs, upgrades, jumping and enemies added making it feel closer to a roguelike. Pretty tough but cool for short sessions on the Deck.»

«Pretty fun and cheap puzzle-game that fits the Deck perfectly with its small size.»

«I don't think the input lag that some people cry about is that bad but whatever. Works perfectly out of the box if you don't wanna waste your time with emulators.»

«Cool Arkanoid game with a pinch of Puzzle Bobble with no arcade mode despite the title. Not bad for some short casual sessions. Also has a level editor and user-created levels you can get in the game.»

«Fun fighting game from the dev behind Battle High 2A+ (which doesn't work out of the box on the Deck). Some cool original mechanics. You'll need to turn down the graphics to achieve a stable 60 FPS.»

«Far from the best Toaplan shmup but still a pretty fun game with a cool charge shot and bomb. Works perfectly on the deck.»

«Good sequel to Gigantic Army but less challenging in my opinion. Works perfectly on the Deck like all Astro Port games outside of Armed Seven (which is verified but has some crazy graphical glitches).»

«Another good Shoot Them Up wiith TATE support. Good entry point for beginners.»

«Cool casual fun that can be played entirely with the touch screen.»

«Great homage to Rolling Thunder that works great on the Deck. Quite hard. I don't think there's any difference between the free version and the other one (which is very cheap anyway).»

«Not the best shmup but still a cool one with a large selection of spaceships and a focus mechanic. Pretty easy to 1CC on default difficulty. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«One of the most fun and addictive series of puzzle games. It's the best Mr. Driller and it's great to play on a portable machine. Many cool modes in this one.»

«Excellent fighting game with some singleplayer content and unlockables. Works perfectly on the Deck despite being marked as unsupported. Just switch the compatibility to proton experimental.»

«Fun metroidvania with a cool artstyle.»

«One of the best Shoot'em up ever with even more modes than in the last version. Novice is great for anyone who wants to get in Bullet Hell shmups. Classic.»

«Another grreat Shoot Them Up that works perfectly on the Deck. Just need to reconfigure the controls in the game options and you're good to go.»

«Still in Early Access but already pretty great. Better change the render API to Vulkan in the game options for much better performances in some places. Outside of that it works out of the box.»

«Classic SNES plarformer with unique mechanics. Pretty challenging.»

«Pretty fun dungeon crawler roguelike inspired by King's Field. Quite challenging to play without a ranged weapon. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«Charming puzzle-game with a campaign mode with various objectives, a score attack mode & a versus mode.»

«Very fun party/sports game with lots of variety. Obviously better suited for local multiplayer (or remote play together) than for singleplayer but still fun against the CPU. Works perfectly,»

«Maybe the best in the Strikers 1945 trilogy and totally one of the best games from Psikyo.»

«An excellent remaster (I would rather call that a remake at this point) from Tengo Project of The Ninja Warriors Again on SNES (which would have been cool to see included here). Works perfectly.»

«Pretty fun game in the style of Donkey Kong Country. They totally nailed the movements and controls, it just feels good to control the Marsupilami. Infinitely better than the Megadrive game.»

«There's fun little game that plays like "Tanks!" in "Wii Play" hiding underneath those brownish graphics. It has workshop support but there's not much there. Works perfectly out of the box.»

«Not bad if you're in the mood for a DOS action-platformer without too much exploration. Works perfectly out of the box. »
