i wanna get into retro gaming but keep getting losing interest
im not a big gamer but like retro games, theyre nice, simple(sometimes) and runs great on my potato.
but i feel like i keep losing interest for some reason. it might just be because its not my thing but im too stubborn to accept it.
i have free time, a controller, know how to use an emulator and really wanna play the game.
im playing(ive been on hiatus for over a month) zelda a minish cap and my save got accident deleted permanently and had to restart.
i plan on playing, chrono trigger, zelda ocarina of time, starfox and simillar games.
do you have any "gateway" game i should play first or some other advice?
tl;dr i wanna play retro but keep losing interest. what is easy to get into or bits of advice?
sorry for so much text btw thnks

Sounds like you've got some classics lined up but I'd suggest throwing in some more casual stuff too, especially if you're losing interest in the long-form, story-based games. Something like excite bike or crazy taxi or road rash (I'm partial to old racers) or anything where you just pick it up, play a few rounds and move on. Think arcade style.
I made a favorites list in retroarch and cycle through it. I'll play the story-based classics too but sometimes it's difficult to get invested with dated graphics and sound. The pick-up-and-go games I find more accessible as I'm getting older.
