\nOne of the games that defined the RPG genre, Dragon Quest is a franchise that\u2019s still relevant today. If you want to relive playing the original game, or if you want to experience it for the first time, well there\u2019s good news. The original Dragon Quest is available on the Play Store.
\nThis game was re-released by Square Enix, the original developer, and it\u2019s been rebuilt from the ground up to work on mobile. You\u2019ll use the on-screen joystick and buttons to control the characters and do battle. It will take a little getting used to if you\u2019re used to playing the original. However, you\u2019ll get the hang of it.

\nYou play games, but what if you want to actually make them? In Game Dev Story, this is exactly what you\u2019ll do. While Game Dev Story is a pretty old game itself, it\u2019s not exactly a 90s title. However, the pixelated graphics and limited animations give you that classic game feeling. It reminds you of the 16-bit games on the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo.
\nIn this game, you\u2019ll create your own game dev studio and get to work making your games. When you start a project, you\u2019ll choose the platform\/console you want it on, then you\u2019ll start choosing the genre, game type, and the aspects you want to focus on. After that, you\u2019ll choose an artist, writer, and composer for the game. Lastly, you\u2019ll finish up by naming the game and fixing the bugs.
\nYou\u2019ll focus on other aspects of running a gaming studio. You\u2019ll hire and train staff, attend conventions, keep an eye on which gaming platforms are still relevant, and do side jobs to earn more money. Also, as you play, you\u2019ll move to bigger game studios.

\nDownload Cost: Free
\nIn-App Cost: $0.99 \u2013 $19.99
\nSize: 62MB
\nGoogle Play Rating: 4.1 stars out of 5
\nThe world has not moved on from good old 8-bit graphics. Pocket Trains is a fun and relaxing game where you manage your own train empire. If you\u2019re a fan of retro graphics, then you\u2019ll like the 8-bit graphics that are in the game. While they\u2019re 8-bit, they still look really nice.
\nThe point of this game is to grow your train empire by delivering packages to different cities around the world. You\u2019ll start off with a handful of trains in the heart of Europe. You\u2019ll use those trains to deliver packages to their designated locations. When you do, you\u2019ll either earn money, bux (the premium currency), or crates (you\u2019ll open those for parts to build and repair trains).
\nAs you play, you\u2019ll unlock more tracks and expand your empire. Also, you\u2019ll build more trains that you can name and customize. It\u2019s a fun and relaxing game to play and pass the time.

\nIn-App Cost: $0.99 \u2013 $79.99
\nSize: 118MB
\nGoogle Play Rating: 4.2 stars out of 5
\nIt doesn\u2019t get much more classic than Tetris. We\u2019ve seen this re-released about a thousand times, and the mobile market is no different. Right now, you can download the official Tetris game on the Google Play Store. While it\u2019s the classic game, it\u2019s been modernized with newer graphics and some new mechanics.
\nWhile this is a game that needs no introduction, here\u2019s a quick rundown. You\u2019ll see an empty column, and there will be blocks slowly dropping to the bottom. As they fall to the bottom, they\u2019ll stack up. What you need to do is make sure that you make complete rows of the blocks. When that happens, you\u2019ll see those rows disappear. You\u2019ll need to make as many complete rows before the blocks reach the top. It\u2019s almost 40 years old, and the gameplay still hasn\u2019t changed.

\nSonic The Hedgehog 2 Classic
\nDownload Cost: Free
\nIn-App Cost: $1.99
\nSize: 83MB
\nGoogle Play Rating: 4.3 stars out of 5
\nThis is a game that\u2019s survived the test of time, and you can have it on your phone\/tablet for only $2. Sonic 2 was one of the most memorable games on the Sega Genesis. The sequel to the smash hit Sonic The Hedgehog (the game that single-handedly saved the Sega Genesis), Sonic 2 takes Sonic and Tails through 11 zones with boss battles at the end of most of them.
\nThis was the first game to use the classic spin dash, and it broke boundaries with its faux-3D special stages. It\u2019s still as fun today as it was back in 1992. If you\u2019re feeling nostalgic, you should pick it up.

\nWhether you were playing this game in the arcades in the 80s or as a port in later decades, Pac-Man still remains one of the most famous classic games in the world. While not many of those arcade cabinets still stand, you can still experience this game. Pac-Man is live on the Google Play Store. We\u2019re not talking about a remake or rip-off. This was posted by Bandai-Namco itself, the company that owns the rights to this game.
\nSince this is the original game, the gameplay is the exact same. You\u2019re collecting pellets, avoiding ghosts, and wracking up a high score.

\nIn-App Cost: $0.99 \u2013 $9.99
\nSize: 31MB
\nGoogle Play Rating: 4.6 stars out of 5
\nWe all remember the torment of going onto the family computer and trying to figure out how Minesweeper worked. Many of us still feel bad about killing that poor yellow guy on the top of the window. Well, there are those of us who still want to re-experience and finally beat this guessing game.
\nYou\u2019ll start by picking one space. When you do that (if it\u2019s not a mine, that is), you\u2019ll see a seemingly random assortment of numbers appear on the board. Those numbers represent the number of adjacent blocks that are mines. You\u2019ll need to use your power of deduction to side-step all of the potential mines.

\nThe Way Home is a modern-day rogue-like that has the pixelated art style of a classic game from the 90s. Not only are the graphics pleasantly archaic, but the music and sound effects also have that classic sound.

\nGoogle Play Rating: 4.7 stars out of 5
\nThis one is for all you sports fans out there. Retro Bowl, as the name indicates, is a retro football game that lets you create and manage your own football team. You get a classic pixelated look with the 8-bit-style graphics.
\nThis isn\u2019t as much a football simulator as it is a football manager simulator. So, you won\u2019t take direct action in the matches. You will see a sped-up version of the matches so that you can see how they go. Rather than playing in the matches, you\u2019ll be managing your team. Tasks include choosing and managing your roster, managing the finances, choosing the games you\u2019ll play, etc. It\u2019s a very behind-the-scenes type of game.
