I have old consoles but I don't use them. If I wanna play an old game I just use a rom and an emulator.
Chrono Trigger is a great game. Zelda Ocarina of Time is also great.

Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger are the two that pop to mind for me immediately. Playing those games when they first came out was a pretty amazing experience, they were both so far ahead of their time, even 11 or 12 year old me knew I was experiencing something incredibly special with each of them.
I don't care that everyone says different, it had so many improvements. A better combat system, the ability to run, multiple playable characters with their own unique style, one of the most epic ending boss battles in fighting game history,
interesting and varried mobs..
And it was the only game of the NES series I'd label "Nintendo hard".

The newest of the "old" games I still play every once in a blue moon are
- Star Wars: Battlefront II for Xbox
- GTA: San Andreas, which I originally had it for Xbox back in 2005 - the memories, my my - but got it from PS Store on the cheap back in 2015-2016. When I left it, I had completed all the car heists on the tanker in San Fierro. Just the masterpiece of the open-world gaming genre.
However, through PS Store, I've gotten into some PS-one generation games that I hadn't played in YEARS, specifically Armored Core. I also regularly watch YouTube for reviews and listen to the soundtracks for most all of Squaresoft's NES-PS1 games, specifically FFI-FFIX and, just recently, Parasite Eve. I forgot that how great and beautiful of a game Aya Brea's first adventure in NYC was.
Armored Core is AWESOME. Owned it since I got a PS2, and got back into it a year or two ago (As part of a general binge that included Final Fantasy 9). Left it on the final stage, with those damned floating cubes you need to platform off.
Also beat arena mode on Project Phantasma a year or two ago. Haven't touched the campaign, but arena made it worth the ten dollars from Electronic Boutique.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who enjoys the sh_t out of that game.
Breath of Fire 2 was a game that I'm really fond to, I like that it has a fishing system, that each character has specific uses and great visual design + there are fusions. Another RPG goodie is Radiant Historia, really fun and immersive concept with a battle system that brings both classic elements and some variety to it.
