I liked this game, except for the driving sequences. Those suuuuuuuucked.

Daggerfall holds a special place in my heart. Yes, it was a glitchy mess but Hal Bouma, one of the main programmers on the game would hang out in IRC helping with problems, and if you had really severe problems you could send him your save file and he'd sort it out.

Seconding that, also Falling to Pieces, also by Faith No More.

I mean, their last few releases should answer that.

Well, I'm not the one planning to host a server over WIFI, so...

Should have been called Mrs. Columbo Goes to Ireland.

I mean, that's why I specified only if Ethernet was not an option.

And I've been doing it for over 40. WIFI may be acceptable for certain applications, but it's never the best solution.

That works too.

Oof, do NOT run a server over WIFI. If plain old Ethernet is not an option, get something like this which, no, is not cheap but will offer a MUCH better experience.

Super Castlevania IV is really just a straightforward sidescrolling action game, it doesn't have any Metroidvania elements, but Aria of Sorrow is a good choice, also made by the guy who did the Dominus Collection games and Bloodstained.

Personally, I don't think Hollow Knight is a great example of a Metroidvania. If you're looking for suggestions, check out Castlevania Dominus Collection, it includes three of the best Metroidvanias ever made. I'll also recommend Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Not an official Castlevania game, but produced by the same guy who did the games in the Dominus Collection. Thirdly, I endorse Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. Really fun and really charming.

None of those games seem to be on sale at the moment, but they can usually be found discounted well under the list price.

Macross Plus. Another Yoko Kanno masterpiece.

BG1 and BG2 are Second Edition, I had a memory of BG2 including certain aspects of 3e like feats, but that might have been Icewind Dale 2.

Could make a "DLSS 5 on/off" meme with the top two pictures.

Sure, post-crash. Those weren't the prices before 1983.
