There is nothing like taking a look back at our childhood with the help of video games. Surely there is more than one title that you put hours and hours into, so let’s take a look at old platform games that you can currently play on Android thanks to the remakes or ports that have been created for the Google operating system.
Space invaders
One that cannot be missed in a collection of retro games is without a doubt Space Invaders . One of the arcade par excellence has its version for Android thanks to the hand of TAITO itself, who presented this simple but effective version that imitates the wooden cabin in which many spent many coins on more than one arcade.
Ghosts’n Goblins MOBILE
Another that could not be missed is Ghosts’n Goblins , the excellent arcade adventure starring Sir Arthur in which we will have to finish off zombies and ghosts until we reach the final castle to rescue our beloved Prin-Prin. If you have never played, we warn you: it is very, very difficult.
Golden Ax Trilogy
Choose from a knight, a dwarf, or an Amazon and take down the hordes of Death Adder, Dark Guld, and Dammed Hellstrike in this comprehensive collection of SEGA’s famous mythological trilogy. Golden Ax is one of those games that you have to play.
Streets of Rage 2 Classic
The best street fighting game of the 16a also has an Android version, it is free and you can download it immediately. The first installment is also available, but trust us, Streets of Rage 2 is so much better.
1942 MOBILE
Yes, before TikTok, Instagram and vertical video recording arrived, there was someone who did it before. We refer to playing vertically, since 1942 posed an elongated image that allowed us to have a better perspective to fight from the air against the enemy army.
Double Dragon Trilogy
Another of the funniest and most original arcades of the beat’em all genre is Double Dragon . With this trilogy we will remember the three adventures of Billy and Jimmy that took over most of the arcades of the 80s. As a curiosity, this version allows you to choose between original or remastered soundtrack, and even cooperative mode with bluetooth controls!
Metal Slug
What would arcade games be without the addictive Metal Slug games ? The most hilarious, and at the same time, addictive 2D shooter has an Android version of all its installments. SNK released all versions adding an automatic shooting mode that improves control when playing in touch mode on phones.
PAC-MAN
Taking advantage of Pac-Man’s 40th anniversary, NAMCO released this version with an improved interface that maintains all the essence of the original Comecocos . Addictive mazes in which you’ll have to flee from the dreaded ghosts unless … you get a ball of energy!
Another World
A game that marked an era thanks to its cinematic aesthetics. In Another World we put ourselves in the shoes of Lester Knight, a scientist who suffers an accident in his laboratory that teleports him to another world.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic
An amusement park simulator? Fair. In RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic we will have to manage and plan the evolution of an amusement park that receives a large number of people at the most opportune moments.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Another great classic that could not be missing in this selection either. This mobile version respects the aesthetics of Symphony of the Night , with the novelty of including a renewed user interface and the possibility of playing with external controllers.
Simon the Sorcerer
The graphic adventures also has its place in the options that you can find on Android. This type of games had an incredible growth in the 90s, with games like Simon the Sorcerer , a spectacular adventure in which you will have to figure out how to use your skills as a magician.
